runs on the scoreboard offered

some reassurance that a whitewash could be avoided. If that were the case, there would have been light at the end of the dark path.

Mohammad Haris

But where else did it happen? They had to concede defeat to a brilliant century by Mohammad Haris. Pakistan surpassed the target of 197 runs set by Bangladesh with 7 wickets and 16 balls in hand. As a result, Bangladesh had to end the series as a whitewash.

But Bangladesh's innings started brilliantly. Openers Tanjid Hasan and Parvez Hossain Emon put on a 110-run partnership for the first wicket. Tanjid scored 42 runs off 32 balls, while Parvez played a stormy innings of 66 runs off 34 balls, which included 7 fours and 4 sixes. Then Liton Das scored 22 off 18 balls, Towhid Hridoy 25 off 18 balls, Shamim Hossain 6 runs and Zaker Ali remained unbeaten on 15 runs off 9 balls.

Bangladesh reached 150 with 5 overs remaining in the innings. However, Bangladesh could not maintain the run rate towards the end. A total of 46 runs were scored in the last five overs. As a result, Bangladesh did not touch 200. However, a record was also set in what happened. The team's highest score against Pakistan in Pallekele in 2012 was 175. Bangladesh pushed that to two and scored 196 runs today.

Bangladesh put Pakistan in a big lead early

in the innings. Mehedi Hasan Miraz dismissed Sahibzada Farhan for just 1 run in the first over . Then, the match turned around with the bat of Saim Ayub and Mohammad Haris. The two put on a 92-run partnership in 53 balls. Saim was dismissed for 45 runs off 29 balls, but Haris was in great form. He scored 107 runs off just 46 balls, which included 8 fours and 7 sixes. This was the first century of his international T20 career. His innings basically ensured Pakistan's victory.

Miraj took two wickets and Tanjim Shakib took one. However, the overall performance of the bowlers was disappointing. As a result, Bangladesh was disappointed even with the record capital.
