Live Commentary
Presentation Ceremony
The rain pours down in Dhaka but celebrations continue! Litton Das lifts the trophy as Bangladesh celebrate yet another T20I series win — first against Sri Lanka, now against Pakistan. The team poses for pictures under umbrellas, smiles all around.
Litton Das (Bangladesh captain):
The boys played really well throughout the series. The wicket looked good today, but we didn’t bat well. Still, it’s a positive series win. We tried some new players and we're heading in the right direction.
Jaker Ali (Player of the Series):
It’s been a really good series for us. Even though we lost this game, I’m happy to be part of the winning squad.
Sahibzada Farhan (Player of the Match):
Really happy with the way I batted today. I told Saim Ayub to relax — I would take the lead. Glad we could contribute to a solid win.
Salman Agha (Pakistan vice-captain):
Very proud of the boys. We’ve talked about not giving up, and today everyone stepped up. Farhan’s performance was outstanding, and Saim supported him well in the powerplay. Hasan played his role and Nawaz gave a good finishing touch. Then we executed well with the ball.
Match Summary:
So, Pakistan end their tour on a high with a convincing win in the final T20I. Bangladesh, however, take the series 2–1. Back-to-back series wins for them in T20Is as they continue to grow stronger in the format.
That’s all from Dhaka!
Thanks for staying with us. Until next time, goodbye and cheers!
21:36 Local Time, 15:36 GMT, 21:06 IST:
A comprehensive all-round performance by Pakistan tonight. Sent in to bat on a tricky, two-paced pitch, they managed to post a slightly above-par total, thanks to a solid fifty from Sahibzada Farhan and impactful cameos by Hasan Nawaz and Mohammad Nawaz. In response, Bangladesh collapsed early, losing half their side in the Powerplay. From there, the result felt inevitable. Saifuddin showed some fight late in the innings, but it was far too late. Only three Bangladeshi batters reached double figures, underlining their struggle. Salman Mirza led the charge with 3 wickets, while Faheem Ashraf and Mohammad Nawaz picked up two each. Stay tuned for the presentation ceremony.

Exclusive Bonus on CricketRecap: What Happened in the 2nd T20I?
In a low-scoring yet thrilling affair, Bangladesh defended 133 runs with grit and precision, winning by just 8 runs. The match swung wildly in the final overs, with Faheem Ashraf’s heroic 51 (33) almost snatching victory for Pakistan. But it was Mustafizur Rahman’s calm death bowling and Shoriful Islam’s early strikes (3/17) that sealed the deal for the hosts.
Captain Litton Das praised the composure of his middle order and dedicated the win to victims of a tragic air crash earlier in the week. Jaker Ali, who was named Player of the Match for his composed 55 off 48, credited team discipline and partnership-building for the win.
Despite the loss, Pakistan captain Salman Agha highlighted the fight shown by his lower order and urged his team to bring the same belief into the final game.
