Pakistan vs Bangladesh, 2nd T20I at Lahore, PAK vs BAN, May 30 2025 - Match Result

Sahibzada Farhan, Player of the Match: Still there is room for improvement, have to work more on my shots and continue the hard work. This is my third or fourth comeback. I don't have any fear and I have always topped the domestic seasons so you must have seen there is no fear anymore. I was feeling very confident today.

Litton Das, Bangladesh Captain: I think when Shoriful got injured, that time momentum fully shifted. We knew we lacked in bowling, still we came back well. (on losing 7 wickets quickly) whoever bats well, they need to continue till the 13-14th over. There were back to back wickets. In cricket you have to follow basics, sometimes you don't follow the basics (talking about running between wickets before his wicket). We have one more chance. At the moment we have to sit and talk and see how we can comeback strongly, it's all about mindset

Salman Ali Agha, Pakistan Captain: It feels good, I didn't know it was three and a half years ago that we won a series at home. This is what I want, we should always have players who can come in and replace anyone, any captain would love that. The way Hasan Nawaz is batting, not many people can bat like that, his six hitting is amazing. To be honest, he is loving batting in the middle order...he is a generational talent. We will try to get in more players, we want more bench strength in bowling so I want to try more people and want more fast bowlers ready one month before the World Cup so if anyone is injured or has a bad day, we have someone available. They are all young, energetic and want to do well for Pakistan and I hope they can continue this way. It's been a few days and we are loving the environment, credit to Hesson. He has managed to gel the team really well and built a nice environment, he has done that very quickly

Pakistan rewarded the top performers from the PSL and brought in consistent domestic talent Sahibzada Farhan into the line-up. They all stepped up to the plate and posted another competitive total. Bangladesh were a bit unlucky to lose Shoriful, who appeared to suffer a groin issue and had to leave the field. From there, Bangladesh managed to keep a slight lid on the scoring in the death overs but Hasan Nawaz's high-impact timely knock gave the innings a much-needed boost. Farhan was both exquisite and authoritative, despite losing a few early wickets at the other end. Bangladesh wobbled early in their chase and it turned into a chaotic attempt overall. Only Tanzid managed a substantial score and gave the fans something to cheer about. Abrar Ahmed was the tormentor-in-chief with figures of 3/19 while others chipped in as well, rounding off a well-knit bowling performance as a unit. Still one game left in the series and Bangladesh will have to go back to the drawing board, have an honest reflection on their performance and try again on Sunday; hoping to finish with a consolation win

Dr Imtiaz: "Farhan and Hassan should one over a piece to make it memorable that ten bowler to bowl in an inning in t-20."

Ghaffar: "Can we shake hand like test last session? "
