Asia Cup: Taskin Ahmed Picks 3-28 As Bangladesh Restrict Pakistan To 135/8
Dubai International Cricket Stadium: Bangladesh pacer Taskin Ahmed led a disciplined bowling effort with figures of 3-28 as Pakistan were restricted to 135/8 in their crucial Super Fours clash of the Men's T20 Asia Cup at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium here on Thursday. The winner of this clash will meet India in the title clash on September 28.
On a surface offering grip and turn, Bangladesh’s bowlers struck at regular intervals, with Taskin well-supported by Rishad Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman, and Mahedi Hasan also taking key wickets. Pakistan failed to have any sort of momentum in their innings and could go only past the 130-mark, thanks to cameos of 31 and 25 from Mohammad Haris and Mohammad Nawaz, respectively.
Pushed into batting first, Pakistan endured a shaky start as Taskin struck early to dismiss Sahibzada Farhan, while Mahedi removed Saim Ayub for his fourth duck in T20Is. Fakhar Zaman and Salman Agha briefly lifted the pressure with some boundaries. However, the scoring remained subdued, with Pakistan crawling to just 27/2 at the end of Power-play.
