Tanzid Hasan Tamim’s explosive century and Taskin Ahmed’s incisive bowling turned the tide in the hosts’ favor.

Pakistan had leveled the series 1-1 in the rain-affected second ODI via DLS, after Bangladesh’s dominant eight-wicket win in the first. The third match was do-or-die for both sides.

Bowled first, Bangladesh’s batsmen rose to the occasion. The opening pair of Saif Hassan (36 off 55, 3×4) and Tanzid amassed 105 in under 19 overs. Shanto’s 27 helped Tanzid add 53 more, reaching 158 for two.

Tanzid’s masterclass continued with Litton Das, adding 36 to hit 194. His 107 (107 balls, 6×4, 7×6) was a career-defining knock. Hridoy’s unbeaten 48 off 44, alongside Litton’s 41, propelled the total to 290/5. Rauf (3/52) led Pakistan’s attack.

Pakistan’s chase started disastrously at 82/5. Salman Agha’s heroic 106 (98 balls, 9×4, 4×6) included vital stands – 79 with Saad (38), 48 with Ashraf, and 52 with Shaheen (37) – but Taskin’s 4/49 derailed them. Mustafizur (3), Rana (2), and Rishad (1) ensured victory.

This series triumph underscores Bangladesh’s growing prowess in limited-overs cricket, with Tanzid emerging as a star and Taskin’s ‘four’ sealing the deal.
