Pakistan vs Bangladesh Highlights And Cricket Score 2nd Match - T20I Commentary
137 is the target now! The Pakistan batters will fancy their chances, anything other than a win for them will surely be a surprise. Bangladesh on the other hand, need to bowl really well, wickets is what they need or they would find it really difficult to get back in this game. Stay tuned for the chase.
For Bangladesh, only Tamim showed some fight. He managed a half ton but received minimal support from the other end. Also, the visitors' batters never got the timing right on this wicket. They struggled to score freely and in the end, have posted a score well-below par.
Another excellent bowling display from the hosts! Right from the word go they were brilliant. The home side did not concede a lot in the Powerplay and they also managed to take a couple of wickets. During the middle overs, Shadab Khan and Shoaib Malik did exceedingly well and towards the end, Rauf and Afridi ended things brilliantly. However, it was Hasnain who was the pick as he went for just the 20 in his four and also took a couple of wickets.

TOSS - It's toss time in Lahore. Both the captain's are in the middle. Babar Azam will flip the coin. Mahmudullah calls and it lands in his favour. Bangladesh have won the toss and chose to bat.
With less than 24 hrs of time for turnaround Pakistan would not mind it after an easy win in the 1st T20I. Bangladesh, on the other hand, have a lot to ponder if they have to keep the series alive. They were poor with their batting as they could amass only 141 in their 20 overs. After a 71-run opening stand none of the Bangladeshi batsmen looked to play a stable innings. They would look to give a lot better batting display today and give their bowlers something to play with. Pakistan would look to seal the series today itself and get on the path of revival in their favorite format. Toss and team updates in a while.
That's it from this game. The last T20I of this series is a dead rubber to be played on 27th January 2020 in The Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore at 1400 local (0900 GMT). We would love your company for that game. Till then take care and goodbye.
Man Of The Match and Pakistan skipper, Babar Azam says that he continues to play in the momentum as he says that changing the momentum brings his downfall. He also adds that he tries to give his 100% in every game. Further says that captaincy and batting are two different things. He adds that captaincy is easy to do. He also says that they are happy to get a win and will want as many as they can before the T20 World Cup. Also says that they might test their bench strength in the last T20I.
Bangladesh skipper, Mahmudullah says that it is disappointing to lose the series but says the batting let them down. Further adds that apart from Tamim no one applied themselves. Credits the Pakistan bowlers for bowling in the right areas and keeping it tight. He says that they would try to check their bench strength and play fearless cricket in the last T20I.
Mohammad Hafeez says that he is happy to get back into the side and good to be back into the playing XI straightaway. He says that there is pressure from the fans and nothing from the media. He further adds that he spoke to Shoaib Malik and that has helped him to come back stronger. He signs by saying that it always is a confidence booster to end up on the winning side. Stay tuned for presentations.
The win was actually set-up by the Pakistan bowlers, they restricted the visitors to a modest total which was easily chased down. Hafeez is down on the sidelines for a chat.
Pakistan have made a mockery of the run chase! Too easy to be honest, 137 was never going to be enough and they have chased it down without breaking a sweat. They did lose Ali early but then, Hafeez and Azam joined hands and added an unbeaten 131-run stand with both scoring half tons. That is exactly what you need, one partnership when chasing a mediocre score and that is what they got.
