Bangladesh: Litton Kumar Das (c & wk), Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Naim Sheikh, Mehidy Hassan Miraz, Jaker Ali Anik, Shamim Hossain Patwary, Md Saifuddin, Shak Mahedi Hasan, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Nasum Ahmed

Pakistan: Sahibzada Farhan, Saim Ayub, Mohammad Harris (wk), Salman Ali Agha (c), Hasan Nawaz, Hussain Talat, Muhammad Nawaz, Faheem Ashraf, Abbas Afridi, Ahmed Daniyal, Salman Mirza

A six and a four in the first over by Sahibzada Farhan and Pakistan are off to a brilliant start. Mahedi Hasan has been taken down by Farhan for a six over deep mid-wicket and then a pull to the square leg fence. Good start for Pakistan.

A solid powerplay for Pakistan. the opening duo of Sahibzada Farhan and Saim Ayub has done well to keep the pressure onn Bangladeshi bowlers. There is some turn on offer but the PAK opening pair has batted aggressively and the risks have paid off.

Nasum Ahmed strikes and Saim Ayub has been dismissed. Pakistan lose their first wicket and that has slowed down their innings which had crossed the run rate of 10 at one point. Bangladesh will try to keep things tight and get a few quick wickets here.

The run flow has suddenly stopped as Sahibzada Farhan too has been sent back to the pavillion. A good comeback from Bangladesh. Farhan walks back for a good 63 and it is yet again Nasum Ahmed who gets the wicket. Two for Nasum now.

Hasan Nawaz's 33 from just 17 balls has given another impetus to Pakistan's innings. But now he is gone and Pakistan are back to stuttering once more. Captain Salman Ali Agha is now in the middle and Pakistan would hope that he takes the team over 175 tonight.

A brilliant final over from Taskin Ahmed and Pakistan reach 178/7. Taskin gets a couple of wickets and gives away only five runs to end the proceedings. Pakistan would be happy with the score they have put on the board. Chase will come up shortly.

PAK 178/7 (20) {Sahibzada Farhan 63, Hasan Nawaz 33; Taskin Ahmed 3/38, Nasum Ahmed 2/22}

A top-class first over from Salman Mirza and he has already sent back Tanzid Hasan for a Duck. Captain Litton Das has been forced to come out to bat quite early. A big chase in front of Bangladesh and they would want Litton to come good.

Bangladesh need 155 runs to win in 16 overs

A really poor start from Bangladesh as they have lost three batters within first four overs. Faheem Ashraf has been the star for Pakistan with the new ball with a couple of wickets in his two overs. Salman Mirza has picked up a wicket.

Absolute chaos going on in this game. Bangladesh have lost seven wickets in eight overs. This is an embarrassing collapse now. The pitch is tough but Bangladesh have made it look like an unplayable surface. Salman Mirza has taken three wickets, Faheem Ashraf has two while Salman Ali Agha and Ahmed Daniyal have a wicket each.

Pakistan are trying to wrap things up quickly but Bangladesh's tail is wagging. The match is anyway over but Bangladesh lower order batters will take some batting practice home.

PAK 178/7 (20)

BAN 104 (16.4)

Pakistan won by 74 runs

Total domination by Pakistan in the final T20I and they have registered a massive 74-run win. Mohammad Saifuddin scored 35 for Bangladesh and no one else could do much as they were bowled out for just 104.

Despite the loss, Bangladesh win the series 2-1. Jaker Ali is the Player of the Series while the Player of the Match goes to Sahibzada Farhan.
