Chasing a target of 110, Tanzid Hasan Tamim and Parvez Hossain Emon opened the innings for Bangladesh. Salman Mirza removed Tamim in the first over for 1 run, and Bangladesh skipper Litton Das joined Emon in the middle. Mirza joined Das in his following over for 1, and Towhid Hridoy joined Emon in the middle.

Pakistan didn't help themselves when they dropped Hridoy on 12 and 30. In the sixth over, Abrar Ahmed couldn't hold on to a tough chance at deep third, running in but spilling the chance. Then it was wicketkeeper Haris who dropped Hridoy off Abrar in the ninth over.

Earlier in the first innings, Bangladesh won the toss and opted to bowl. Pakistan started off very poorly, as they lost half of their side inside the batting power-play. Mustafizur Rahman bowled Bangladesh's cheapest four-over spell in T20Is, conceding just six runs. It was an all-round bowling effort from the home side, though it got off to an iffy start.

Fakhar Zaman was the lone warrior for Pakistan in batting as he slammed 44 runs in 34 balls, including six fours and a six. Pakistan finished their innings on 109 as they were bowled out in the last over. Taskin Ahmed was the pick of the bowlers as he grabbed three wickets, removing Saim Ayub, Faheem Ashraf, and Abbas Afridi.
