Paceman Salman Mirza grabbed three wickets and opener Sahibzada Farhan struck an aggressive fifty in Pakistan's consolation 74-run win in the third T20 on Thursday as Bangladesh took the series 2-1.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Mirza, playing only his third international, demolished Bangladesh's top order with figures of 3-19 as the home team was bowled out for 104 in 16.4 overs in Dhaka.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Farhan's 41-ball 63 studded with five sixes and six fours got Pakistan off to a strong start and Hasan Nawaz clubbed 33 off 17 balls to help them to 178-7 after they were sent in to bat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Mirza struck with the second ball of the innings, dismissing Tanzid Hassan caught behind for nought which triggered a batting collapse. Only Mohammad Saifuddin contributed a score of note as he made an unbeaten 35.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Mohammad Naim (10) was the only other Bangladesh batsman to reach double figures.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Seamer Faheem Ashraf took 2-13 and Mohammad Nawaz wrapped up the win with the final two wickets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"I am very proud of my team," said Pakistan captain Salman Agha.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"This is what we talked about as a team, no matter what situation we are in, we want to show character."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Bangladesh skipper Litton Das praised his's team effort in the series win.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"We played some good cricket and it's great to win a series against Pakistan," said Litton, who also led the team to a T20 series win in Sri Lanka last week.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Having already won their first-ever T20 series against Pakistan with victories in the first two matches, Bangladesh rested five of their main players including spearhead Mustafizur Rahman.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Pakistan had scored 110 and 125 in the first two matches -- also in Dhaka -- losing by seven wickets and eight runs respectively.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Farhan, who replaced Fakhar Zaman as one of two changes for Pakistan, put on 82 for the opening stand with Saim Ayub (21).<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Farhan fell in the 12th over to spinner Nasum Ahmed who finished with 2-22 in his four overs. Pace bowler Taskin Ahmed took 3-38.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Mohammad Nawaz chipped in with 27 off 16 balls down the order to help Pakistan add 46 runs in the last five overs.<\/p>\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Pakistan-tour-of-Bangladesh-2025-third-t20I.jpeg", "alt_img": "Pakistan tour of Bangladesh 2025 third t20I", "alt_title": "Pakistan vs Bangladesh", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Pakistan End Series on High with 74-Run Win; Bangladesh Clinch Series 2-1 On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Paceman Salman Mirza grabbed three wickets and opener Sahibzada Farhan struck an aggressive fifty in Pakistan's consolation 74-run win in the third T20 on Thursday as Bangladesh took the series 2-1.", "seo_keywords": "Pakistan Vs Bangladesh, Pakistan Tour Bangladesh 2025 Third T20I", "tag": null, "tagging": "Pakistan Vs Bangladesh,Pakistan Tour Bangladesh 2025 Third T20I,", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "pakistan-end-series-on-high-with-74-run-win-bangladesh-clinch-series-2-1", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "1", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "1233", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2025-07-25 08:02:46", "updated": "2025-07-25 08:02:46", "img_from": "Image Source: Google", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Pakistan Vs Bangladesh, Pakistan Tour Bangladesh 2025 Third T20I", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "0", "google_feed": "0", "read_more": "1", "posted_by": "1", "jio_date": "2025-07-25 08:02:46", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": "Select", "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/pakistan-end-series-on-high-with-74-run-win-bangladesh-clinch-series-2-1-174698" }
