Player of the Match

Thanks for joining us. Hope to see you for the third and final T20I on Sunday.

Fakhar Zaman is the Player of the Match for his unbeaten 51-ball 57. "Wasn't easy to play shots early on, wanted to build partnerships and succeeded. Thankfully we finished it off well. It was a better wicket than yesterday's, not an ideal wicket but better than yesterday. Whenever you play outside your country, it's important to win games. We'll try to win the third game as well."

"Team effort, happy with the way the boys carried forward the momentum," says Babar Azam. "We bowled well in the middle overs, finished it off well."

"We started well, Afif and Shanto batted well. Me and Shanto were trying to get a partnership but didn't capitalise in the last few overs," says Mahmudullah. "I think a team like us need a set batter till the 15th over, we didn't do that. Boys are putting in a lot of effort at training, taking catches, doing all the things right but are missing chances. I think last five-six months, our bowling unit has been outstanding, both pace and spin department. It's the batting unit that have to deliver."

5.30pm Too easy for Pakistan this time around. Bangladesh didn't even push them. Fakhar and Rizwan led the cruise for most parts. Bangladesh's fielding and catching has come a cropper yet again. That said, they just didn't have enough to defend.

The 44 that Bangladesh made in the back 10 overs today was their lowest second half in a T20I. It included just two fours as the Pakistan bowlers bowled full and used their variations superbly. It was the opposite of how they batted in the first game. Bangladesh scored 87 runs in the last ten overs on Friday, hitting seven sixes and a four.
