Pakistan national cricket team Bowled Out for 114 as Nahid Rana Shines for Bangladesh national cricket team

Pakistan, after their poor performance in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, is preparing for the upcoming year’s Cricket World Cup 2027. In this regard, they have visited Bangladesh to play a three-match One-Day Series. The team has made many changes, but according to Shaheen Afridi, none of the players have been dropped. He stated that new young players are being given a chance to get the team ready for 2027.

In the first match of this series, Pakistan struggled with their batting and were bowled out for just 114. The first match of this series between Pakistan and Bangladesh is being played at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. Pakistan, batting first, scored just 114 runs. Faheem Ashraf top-scored with 37 and played a key role in helping the team cross the 100-run mark. Furthermore, Pakistan's performance was so dire that seven batsmen failed to reach double figures.

Salman Agha's poor form, similar to that of the T20 World Cup, continued here, scoring just 5 runs. Captain Shaheen Shah Afridi also returned to the pavilion after scoring 4 runs off four balls. For Bangladesh, Nahid Rana bowled brilliantly, taking 5 wickets for 24 runs in 7 overs. Mehidy Hasan Miraz took 3 wickets for 29 runs in 10 overs. Mustafizur Rahman and Taskin Ahmed also took one wicket each.

Faheem Ashraf was dismissed for 37 off 47 balls for Pakistan. His dismissal resulted in Pakistan being bundled out for 114 in 31 overs. Pakistan's batting flopped badly in the first ODI against Bangladesh, collapsing to just 120, while Nahid Rana dominated the match with a five-wicket haul.
