Match preview & overview
Bangladesh dismantle Pakistan for 114 and cruise home by 8 wickets in Dhaka
Bangladesh Cricket beat Pakistan Cricket by 8 wickets in Dhaka on 11 March 2026, in a match that was effectively decided by lunch. Pakistan were bowled out for 114, a total that owed much to a catastrophic middle-overs collapse in which they lost 9 wickets for 73 runs after a stable powerplay of 41 for 1. Nahid Rana was the chief destroyer and collected the Player of the Match award. Bangladesh's reply was emphatic: they scored 81 for 1 in the powerplay alone and knocked off the remaining 34 runs for the loss of one more wicket to finish on 115 for 2. The contest was barely a contest.
Pakistan's innings told a familiar tale of promise squandered. The powerplay score of 41 for 1 was marginally above the ground's average of 39, suggesting conditions were not dramatically difficult. What followed in the middle overs was another matter entirely. Nine wickets tumbled for 73 runs across overs 11 to 40, a collapse that Bangladesh's bowlers will point to with satisfaction. Pakistan managed no runs and lost no further wickets in the death overs, simply because there were no overs to be faced once they were bowled out.
Bangladesh's chase was anchored by an aggressive powerplay that made the result clear early. Scoring 81 in the first ten overs, more than double the venue's powerplay average, Bangladesh gave their lower order nothing to do. The target of 115 was reached with the equivalent of half a match left unplayed.
