Pakistan Dominates Bangladesh in 2nd T20I to Clinch Series
In a thrilling encounter at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, on May 30, 2025, Pakistan secured a commanding 57-run victory over Bangladesh in the 2nd T20I, sealing the Bangladesh vs Pakistan T20 series 2025 with a 2-0 lead. Pakistan, batting first, posted a formidable 201/6, powered by Sahibzada Farhan’s explosive 74 off 41 balls and Mohammad Haris’s brisk 31. Salman Ali Agha and Shadab Khan chipped in with quick runs, while Bangladesh’s bowlers, led by Shoriful Islam, struggled to contain the onslaught. Hasan Ali’s fiery pace and Abrar Ahmed’s spin proved too much for Bangladesh’s batting lineup, which crumbled to 144/9. Jaker Ali’s valiant 36 off 21 was a lone bright spot for Bangladesh, with Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Rishad Hossain unable to stem the collapse. Pakistan’s fielding brilliance, especially inside the circle, complemented their bowling attack, with Hasan Ali claiming a remarkable fifer. Despite Litton Das’s 48, Bangladesh’s middle order faltered under pressure, unable to chase the steep target on a batting-friendly pitch.
