Since debuting in late August 2023, Tanzieed has built an impressive resume: 1,120 T20I runs at 28 average with 11 half-centuries from 45 games, and 733 ODI runs at 25.27 from 31 outings. This breakthrough ton marks a turning point in his career, rewarding his persistence.

Opting to bowl after winning the toss, Pakistan skipper Shaheen Afridi saw Bangladesh surge ahead. Tanzieed and Saif Hassan forged a commanding 105-run partnership in 18.1 overs. Saif’s 36 came off 55 balls with three boundaries.

Post that, Tanzieed linked with Najmul Hossain Shanto for 53 runs. Shanto scored 27 off 34. Tanzieed’s elegant strokeplay dismantled the bowling, completing his ton amid cheers. Pakistan’s wickets were shared by Shaheen, Haris Rauf, and Abrar Ahmed.

The Pakistan XI: Shaheen Afridi (c), Sahibzada Farhan, Maaz Sadaqat, Ghazi Gory, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Salman Agha, Abdul Samad, Faheem Ashraf, Saad Masood, Haris Rauf, Abrar Ahmed. Bangladesh XI under Mehidy Hasan Miraz: Saif Hassan, Tanzieed Hasan Tamim, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Litton Das (wk), Towhid Hridoy, Afif Hossain, Rishad Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Nahid Rana.
