Introduction 

Ban beat Pak by seven wickets in the first T20I in Dhaka today. Pakistan billed a modest total of 110 before being bowled out. Bangladesh chased down 111 in just 15.3 overs. Their opener Parvez Hossain Emon led with an unbeaten 56 while Mustafizur Rahman and Taskin Ahmed tore through the Pakistan batting line up

They came to play the game to show strength and resilience. Ban opened with confidence and energy. Their bowlers struck early and never relented. Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman claimed key wickets and choked Pakistan’s batting on a tricky surface. Pakistan had no margin for error with only 110 on the board. The batting lineup just could not build partnerships.

Then came Parvez Hossain Emon. Calm and assured. His fifty kept Bangladesh ahead of the required rate. He and his partner Towhid Hridoy built a solid stand that finished the match with 27 balls to spare. Victory came with time to spare and celebration to follow.

This is a strong statement from Ban as they take a 1 0 lead in the three match series. Pakistan will need to rebuild quickly and steel their nerves for the next game.
