New Delhi: Pakistan cruised to a comfortable 37-run win against Bangladesh in their first T20I of the three-match series, held at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Wednesday. The Men in Green were carried by Shadab Khan’s all-round exploits and Hasan Ali’s fiery five-wicket haul, which helped the team take a 1-0 lead in the three-match affair.
Hosts Pakistan, led by Salman Agha, had won the toss and opted to bat first, only to see their openers Fakhar Zaman and Saim Ayub depart in the first two overs. While Ayub scored a golden duck, Zaman made a 4-ball 1 to give early troubles to Pakistan. The innings were soon balanced by wicketkeeper batter Mohammad Haris and skipper Agha as both combined for 48 runs for the third wicket.
