Pakistan opt to bat first against Bangladesh in second T20I
A blistering half-century from Sahibzada Farhan and 关键字1a clinical bowling display led by Abrar Ahmed powered Pakistan to a comprehensive 57-run victory over Bangladesh in the second T20I at Gaddafi Stadium on Friday, securing their first home series win in more than three years.
Chasing a challenging target of 202, Bangladesh started confidently with an opening stand of 44 runs between Parvez Hossain Emon and Tanzid Hasan. However, the innings quickly unraveled after Emon was dismissed for 8 off 7 balls.

Tanzid showed early promise with a quickfire 33 off 19 deliveries, including five boundaries and a six, but his departure to Faheem Ashraf in the following over triggered a dramatic collapse.
Litton Das, who scored a brilliant half-century in the first match, was removed by Hasan Ali for just six. Abrar Ahmed then struck twice in as many deliveries, leaving the visitors reeling at 56 for 5.

Abrar continued his impressive spell, claiming a third wicket in his next over, while Shadab Khan also joined the party as Bangladesh lost seven wickets within the first ten overs.
With defeat looming, Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Tanzim Hasan Sakib offered brief resistance, pushing the score past the 100-run mark. However, Khushdil Shah broke the stand, and Bangladesh's lower order soon folded.

Earlier, Sahibzada Farhan and Hasan Nawaz struck impressive half-centuries to propel Pakistan to 201/6.
After winning the toss and opting to bat first for the second game in a row, Pakistan suffered an early setback as Saim Ayub was run out in the second over, continuing his poor run of form.
However, Mohammad Haris joined Farhan—who replaced the injured Fakhar Zaman—and the duo stitched together a blistering 103-run partnership in just eight overs, giving Pakistan early momentum.

As Pakistan looked set for a total beyond 220, both set batters fell in quick succession. Farhan showcased his hitting prowess with a 74-run knock off just 41 balls, including six sixes and four boundaries. Haris contributed a brisk 41 off 25 deliveries.

Hasan Nawaz, who played a cameo in the first T20I, partnered with skipper Agha Salman to take the score to 166. Nawaz continued to anchor the innings even as Shadab Khan and Faheem Ashraf fell cheaply, eventually bringing up his half-century.
