Emon, Taskin shine as Bangladesh crush Pakistan in series opener
Bangladesh registered a dominant seven-wicket victory over Pakistan in the first T20 International of the series at the Shere Bangla National Stadium on Sunday, dismissing the visitors for a paltry 110 before chasing down the target with ease. After opting to bowl on a tacky surface, Bangladesh found success early when Saim Ayub flicked one straight to deep fine leg in the second over. Mohammad Haris followed shortly after, falling to Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who had earlier conceded a few boundaries but made a key breakthrough. Skipper Agha Salman and debutant Hasan Nawaz failed to make an impact, while Mohammad Nawaz was run out after a mix-up in the middle. Fakhar Zaman, dropped twice during his stay, tried to anchor the innings with a 44-run knock, but his dismissal once again stalled momentum. Khushdil Shah (17) and Abbas Afridi (22) added a valuable 33-run partnership for the seventh wicket to help Pakistan cross the 100-run mark. However, the visitors were bowled out for 110 in the final over. Taskin Ahmed was the standout bowler for Bangladesh, finishing with 3 for 22, while Mustafizur Rahman delivered a tidy spell, picking up two wickets for just six runs in four overs. Bangladesh's chase began shakily, losing Tanzid Hasan and captain Litton Das with only seven runs on the board. However, a composed 73-run stand between Parvez Hossain Emon and Towhid Hridoy steadied the innings and turned the tide. Hridoy scored 36 before falling, but Emon carried his bat, scoring an unbeaten 56 off 39 balls. He was named Player of the Match for his efforts. Jaker Ali remained not out on 15 as Bangladesh crossed the finish line with 27 balls to spare, taking a 1-0 lead in the series. The second T20I will be played at the same venue on Tuesday.

Haris stars as Pakistan sweep Bangladesh T20 series
Mohammad Haris has smashed Pakistan's second-fastest T20 century to complete a 3-0 sweep for his team against Bangladesh. The wicketkeeper-batter raised his first T20 hundred off 45 balls and remained unbeaten on 107 as a new-look Pakistan cruised to 3-197 for a seven-wicket win in the third Twenty20 with 16 balls to spare. Earlier on Sunday, Bangladesh made 6-196, their highest total in a T20 against Pakistan, after the hosts' captain Salman Ali Agha won his third successive toss of the series but decided to chase for the first time. Haris continued to follow Pakistan's new aggressive batting approach in coach Mike Hesson's first series as white-ball head coach. Haris hit seven sixes and eight boundaries and also became the first non-opening Pakistan batter to score a T20 century. SIX and a FOUR! Mohammad Haris brings up his 5️⃣0️⃣ in style! 💥👏#PAKvBAN | #ClashOfGreen — Pakistan Cricket (@TheRealPCB) June 1, 2025 Pakistan had dropped seasoned pros Babar Azam, wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan and Shaheen Shah Afridi for the series to test their fringe T20 players as a build-up for next year's T20 World Cup. Opener Saim Ayub, who struggled in Pakistan's first two wins with scores of 0 and 4, returned to form with 45 off 29 balls and put on 92 runs with Haris after Sahibzada Farhan (one) fell in the first over. Power-hitter Hasan Nawaz, who scored Pakistan's quickest-ever century in a T20 against New Zealand in March off 44 balls, scored 20 of his 26 runs in fours and sixes before he gave spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz (2-26) his second wicket. Bangladesh couldn't capitalize on a 110-run opening stand between Parvez Hossain Emon (66) and Tanzid Hasan (42). Legspinner Shadab Khan dismissed Emon in the 12th over and squeezed Bangladesh in the middle overs before fast bowler Abbas Afridi (2-26) choked the batting further in the death overs. Afridi gave away only eight runs in his last two overs and picked up the wickets of Shamim Hossain (eight) and Towhid Hridoy (25) as Bangladesh could score only 46 runs in the last five overs and lost four wickets. Pakistan won the first match by 37 runs and the second by 57 after Bangladesh failed to chase down identical targets of 202 runs in both games.
