Bangladesh won the toss in today’s 3rd T20I at Mirpur and elected to bowl first. This decision reflects their confidence after sealing the series with victories in the first two matches.
So far, Pakistan have had a very promising start, reaching 84 runs in the opening nine overs, with Sahibzada Farhan anchoring the innings with a rapid 56 off 34 balls . Farhan’s power-hitting has laid a solid foundation, and the asking rate remains manageable for the chasing side.
Bangladesh’s bowlers have been probing with both pace and spin, but containment has been difficult as Pakistan’s batters have been punishing loose deliveries. With the powerplay overs over, the remainder of the middle session will be crucial. Bangladesh will need to break the current momentum quickly to defend a competitive total.
