full on the pads. Faheem flicks it towards deep mid wicket and is happy to keep strike for the start of the 20th
Pakistan vs Bangladesh, 17th Match, Super Fours at Dubai, Asia Cup, Sep 25 2025 - Live Cricket Score
Jed : "Reckon Pak have enough on the board. Bangladesh's drops which collectively cost them about 40 runs between Nawaz and Afridi will be the difference. Mark my words! " -- Well, isn't that a prediction and some!
excellent yorker outside off. Rauf cannot get under it and clinks his slog towards long on
DaWolf: "Nawaz was dropped on 0 off 3 balls, and ended up making 25 off 15. Expensive drop." -- Could yet prove pivotal and telling for Bangladesh.
off-pace and into the track outside off. Rauf swings his blade like an axe but gets nowhere close to the ball. Rauf's grunt was audible - that was how hard he swung at that!
zipped into the blockhole on middle and leg. Rauf digs it out enough to long on's right and saunters back for two
Rauf in at 10. He can give it a whack too (if he connects)
goes straight up, and Nawaz bites the dust! Taskin goes fuller outside off and Nawaz's eyes light up, with mid off and extra cover in the ring. He gives it the entire lot but slices it terribly. The ball comes down with snow on it but thankfully for Bangladesh, Emon, who is under it having back-pedaled from extra cover, holds on. Top, top catch given the circumstances, and Nawaz, perhaps Pakistan's death-overs hope, has to go!
Nawaz lays into Taskin first up! Banged into the track outside off but this ball does not have any venom on it. Nawaz stands up on his toes and dumps it over the deep square leg fence!
Two overs left. These two are capable of finding the fence. Can Pakistan push up towards 140? Taskin to bowl the 19th
pushed in full on middle and leg. Faheem gets a bit of bat on it and glances it past short fine leg. Taskin opts against the dive and has to then chase it down. Back for a brace
A good comeback by Mahedi after being pumped down the ground off the first ball
shorter outside off. Nawaz hangs back and slaps it down the ground to long off
hung up full and way outside off. Just beyond the tramlines and the umpire stretches out his arms once Nawaz lets it go
fired in on a length on middle and leg. Faheem punches it to long on and gets off the mark
Faheem is the new batter in
smashed back at Mahedi, and he makes amends! This was the gamble Bangladesh had to take, and it pays off for them. Zipped into the slot on the stumps. Haris backs away and looks to go downtown. Does not get the elevation, though, and drills it flat. Mahedi has his wits about him, and snares a sharp chance to his left with both hands. Haris perishes, and Pakistan will need someone else to provide the finishing kick now!
Both batters batting without helmets. Sweeps may be off the menu. Over the wicket to Haris
darted in on a length on middle and leg at 105.6kph. Nawaz has a wild slog at it and squirts it off the inside edge towards short fine leg
going, going, gone! Back of a length outside off and this sits up just the way Nawaz wants it to. He swings through the line and thumps it into the sightscreen!
Three overs left. Mustafizur, Taskin and Mahedi have an over each. Who will bowl which over, though? Pakistan might target the spinner's over. Mahedi from around the wicket
slower ball on a length outside off. Nawaz comes forward and pushes it towards sweeper cover
a massive mix-up and Pakistan, somehow, survive! Dug in short on the stumps. Nawaz rolls his wrists and pulls it towards deep backward square leg. He then decides to hare down for the second, even as Haris does not move a muscle at the other end. Both end up almost at the same end (batter's) but are let off the hook with a weak throw to Jaker, who cannot relay it to the bowler quick enough
zipped in very full but also down leg. Nawaz, having advanced, misses his flick and the umpire, after a bit of contemplation, decides to indulge in some exercise
full toss sprayed a mile outside off. Haris moves across, reaches out for it and chunks it off the inside edge into the on side. Would have been a wide had he left it
full and wide outside off. Haris stays put this time and throws his hands at it. Flays it towards deep backward point, where Emon does well to his right to save two
speared in full and wide. Haris, rather ambitiously, tries a sweep a 135.5kph delivery from well outside the line, and misses
back of a length outside off. Sticks in the surface a touch and Haris slaps it towards mid off
Saurabh M : "@Shashwat is it really this hard to bat out there or Pakistan is making mess out of it ??" -- This is not a flat, hit-through-the-line sort of pitch, with the ball holding a touch. But Pakistan have made a mess of their innings so far to be where they are at the moment
