They bowled out the visitors on just 114 runs in 30.4 overs, thanks to the five-fer from Nahid Rana and three-wickets from Mehidy Hasan Miraz. In reply, Bangladesh chased down the total in just 15.1 overs, thanks to the half-century from their opener Tanzid Hasan, who remained unbeaten on 67 runs.

Pakistan Pakistan will be desperate to bounce back in the series to keep themselves alive after suffering their first-ever ODI match defeat to Bangladesh since the 2018 Asia Cup. No other batters other than Faheem Ashraf and Sahibzada Farhan could even cross the 20-run mark. They will again be heavily dependent on Salman Agha, Mohammad Rizwan, Shamyl Hussain, and Maaz Sadaqat to deliver it this time. On the bowling side, Pakistan could only manage to take two wickets in the first ODI match. They will be hoping to see their skipper, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Mohammad Wasim Jr, and Abrar Ahmed performing for the team in a must-win clash.
