Bangladesh vs Pakistan, 3rd T20I at Dhaka, BDESH v PAK, Nov 22 2021 - Ball by Ball Commentary

That's all from our side for this game. See you soon.

Hesham: "WHAT??? No Trophy? Are you kidding me?"

Rehan: "I think we need to look at both the bowler and batter action at the same time to understand what really happened. In my view, the bowler had already started his action when Nawaz looked up"

Jaafer Naqvi: "In my view, Player of Series should have gone to Fakhar Zaman - 2 innings 91 with above 100 strike rate instead of Rizwan 3 innings 90 with strike rate of below 100.

hassan: "Surprised to see that Muhammad Wasim was not the player of the series."

The trophy for the series win will be handed after Test matches. The Pakistan players, nonetheless, pose for a group photo.

Babar Azam: The way everyone has put in the efforts, credit goes to the players. You can always improve. Like our fielding has improved, our middle order has won games for us. Whatever mistakes we made, we want to make sure we don't repeat them in the upcoming games. We want to carry this momentum into the Test matches. I want to thank the fans here.

Mohammad Rizwan is the Player of the Series: When you play for the country, you are obviously happy and you cannot put that into words. The pitch was a tricky one. And whenever you play away, you get to play on different kinds of pitches. But we try to stick to our process. I have built some momentum in my batting and keeping over the last one year. I would like to thank the fans, it seems as if we are playing in Pakistan.

Haider Ali is the Player of the Match: The pitch was a difficult. Rizi bhai supported me and told me we want to play till the end. It became close towards the end but thankfully, we ended up on the winning side.

And they don't ask Mahmudullah about that non-ball.

Mahmudullah: Batters from both sides struggled. You need to spend some time on the crease before you can capitalise. Naim batted well, I think. [On the last over] I really appreciate the way Taskin came back after injuring his bowling hand. Great character shown by him.

Bilal Anwar: "I think both Mahmudullah and Nawaz were intelligent enough on that delivery. First Mahmudullah for bowling from way behind the line and confusing the batter and then Nawaz, getting surprised by that delivery, had the presence of mind to pull out and didn't get carried away by the heat of the moment."

Let's see what players have to say about that non-ball at the post-match presentation.

Fraz: "Actually did some reading and it isn't possible to bowl a delivery behind the umpire. This is because the bowler can bowl too wide or even chuck, and the umpire wouldn't know." --- Yeah, I feel there should be a change in the laws

Sarmad : "I think Nawaz was looking down and when he looked up bowl was already on its way that's why he pulled out… Seems fair… good BD and well done pak "

Azweer: "And that was Mahmudullah's Best bowling figures in T20Is..."

Junaid Kharal: "Hi Hemant, what's the rule on bowling from behind the umpire?" --- It's allowed. People have done that before. Pollard does that regularly. In past, people like Merv Hughes and even Dennis Lillee too have done that. Think they call it a "long ball". Mahmudullah bowled it from was way, way behind the umpire stumps. But if a batter pulls out, there's very little an umpire can do, and I think Nawaz pulled out just in time. Had Nawaz not pulled out, this would have been a legal ball.

Tahir: "I am sorry but this was a loss in my books. What nawaz did was totally wrong. It was big of Mahmudullah to allow that and in my eyes Bangladesh won. "

Sameer Shadab: "Mahmudullah you made many fans from India for your wonderful gesture in not asking for a review for that delivery, This will be one of your best moments in your career when you decide to retire. Well done"

Syed Shah Alam : "Nawaz should have been given out. When he saw that ball is straight and he wouldn't be able to hit. He played the trick of leaving the ball."

Saqlain Mushtaq: I will give a lot of credit to Bangladesh here. These conditions were quite strange from the UAE but our guys had their confidence high and they executed their skills beautifully. The boys are trying to tick a lot of boxes, helping each other, enjoying each other's company. It's a great thing for Pakistan that even the boys on the bench are very passionate and they are working very hard and pushing each other.

5.30pm Phew! What a game of cricket. For the most of it, Pakistan were cruising. It came down to eight required from the last over, which then became eight needed from three balls and suddenly, it looked like Bangladesh can pull this off. Iftikhar's hit brought Pakistan back before Nawaz sealed it with a four off the last ball after two non-balls.

More drama. This time Mahmudullah pulls out at the last moment

Some drama here. Nawaz backs away, shouldering his arms. It was a straight ball from Mahmudullah that hit the stumps but it was bowled from well behind the umpire stumps. Mahmudullah is having a word with Nawaz, asking him something. Looks like he is satisfied with the answer

Two needed. Are we in for a Super Over? Nawaz to face the final ball. Mahmudullah sticks to around the wicket. Khushdil has a chat with Nawaz

Around the wicket. Two needed from two

Khushdil is the new man in but since batters had crossed, Iftikhar will face the hat-trick ball. Back to over the wicket

Amasu: "I don't know if this comment gets published but extreeemly disappointed in Pakistan, thats not the way to go about it"

Still eight needed. Four balls left. Iftikhar is at the other end. Mahmudullah goes around the wicket

Eight required from the final over. But who will bowl? Mahmudullah it is

10 required off seven

Nitin C: "Can Taskin bowl the first 5 balls of next over??" --- No

Free hit

Bilal Anwar: "The problem for BD is if this game goes to the last over, who will bowl that?? Mahmudullah???"

Muhammad: "@Abdullah brother this is not over yet."

Abdullah: "Something has gotta change for Bangladesh. 8 defeats in a row against 6 different teams. This cannot go on any longer. Feels like back in early days where they were guaranteed a defeat. "

Owais Ahmad: "@Danish: I think Sarfaraz had to be kept out because of how amazing Rizwan had been. It has been really hard to squeeze him in the squad. "

Taskin

Danish: "Not a game-related comment but I'm so happy to see one of my all-time favorite cricketers again. Feels like ages ago that I saw Sarfaraz play. Really harshly done by after achieving so much for Pak, I will always have a soft spot for this great and underappreciated man!"
