Fakhar, bowlers take Pakistan to series win

Dhaka, Nov 20: Pakistan sauntered to an unassailable 2-0 lead in the T20I series with an eight-wicket win over Bangladesh in the second game in Dhaka. Their bowlers did the bulk of the work, restricting the home side to 108 for 7 with an effective display in the second half of the innings.
Shaheen Shah Afridi and Shadab Khan took two wickets each, with excellent support from Mohammad Wasim Jr and Haris Rauf, who didn’t let Bangladesh get away in the death overs.
Pakistan then took 18.1 overs to reach the total. Mohammad Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman added 85 runs for the second wicket, their partnership ending when Pakistan only needed 12 to win. Fakhar remained unbeaten on 57 off 51 balls, while Rizwan made 39 off 45.
Pakistan had a straightforward chase mainly because of how their bowlers shut down the home side. Bangladesh were 64 for 3 at the halfway stage of their innings, and only managed 44 in their last 10 overs for the loss of four wickets. That, ultimately, made all the difference.
