Inside the powerplay, Pakistan appeared uneasy in the field, with a couple of dropped catches and Shadab – their best bowler of the tournament – trying to find his rhythm against the left-handed combo of Shanto and Sarkar. However, things turned dramatically in the 11th over, when Shadab removed both Sarkar and Shakib from successive deliveries.
Bangladesh would not be able to return from that point on. Despite Shanto’s fifty, their lack of precision in approach during middle-overs harmed them again. It’s also worth mentioning that Shaheen claimed his best T20I stats and was crucial in creating a collapse in the slog overs.

Bangladesh’s captain was speechless when he was given out by the third umpire. He requested a review after Adrian Holdstock ruled him lbw on the field. Although there appeared to be a spike on UltraEdge, third umpire Langton Rusere rules it as bat-striking ground. On commentary, Athar Ali Khan states, “simply looking at the replays, I believed that was bat on the ball.”
Shakib simply refused to leave. He continued to converse with the umpires. He raised his hands, perplexed as to what is going on. He was also down the track when he attempted the shot. However, it was quite straight and level. That wasn’t the issue. It was unmistakably hitting the stumps. It was there the innings took a turn and Bangladesh lost their way.
