BAN 28/3 in 7 Overs (DLS Target 243) | Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score Updates, 2nd ODI 2026: Litton Das, Towhid Hridoy Eye Consolidation

Bangladesh have been given a revised target of 243, with their overs being reduced to 32. Another rain interruption might see the contest get abandoned. Pakistan are in the front seat currently.  Litton Das and Towhid Hridoy will hope to start the consolidation work for the hosts. 

The rain has stopped, and the contest is now a 32-over match. Bangladesh will soon get a revised target, which, given their current score, will be a massive ask. 

Rain has decided to interrupt play, and after a brief discussion between the umpires, the officials decide to go off the ground. The covers are being brought up by the groundsmen. This is more of a precautionary move. 

OUT! Shaheen Shah Afridi gets his second wicket, and former captain Najmul Shanto departs.  Lack of bounce becomes the batter's downfall. After a decent start, Bangladesh have managed to lose both their openers in back-to-back overs. First, Tanzid Hasan fell to Shaheen Afridi, followed by Mohammad Wasim dismissing Saif Hassan. Bangladesh have experienced Litton Das still in the middler. 

Bangladesh will bank on their openers, Saif Hassan and Tanzid Hasan, to provide the home side a steady side. This pitch is still a good batting pitch, despite Pakistan's batting collapse. With no spinners in their XI, Pakistan pacers will need to step up. 

And, Pakistan have been bundled out for 274, who looked at one stage to easily score beyond the 300-run mark. Rishad Hossain stepped up for the hosts in the death overs, claiming three wickets to clear the tail. Pakistan lost as many as five wickets in the final 10 overs. 

A flurry of wickets, and Pakistan have lost the momentum despite a 100-run stand between Salman Agha and Mohammad Rizwan. Agha and Rizwan fell in the same over, and Hussain Talat and Abdul Samad departed in the same over. Faheem Ashraf remains the only hope for Pakistan here yet again. 

OUT! Finally, a much-needed breakthrough for Bangladesh, and captain Mehidy Miraz is at the forefront. Quite a controversial run-out for Salman Ali Agha, who is engaged in a verbal altercation with Miraz. 

FIFTY! A timely knock from veteran Salman Ali Agha, who once again proves his worth in the ODI format. Agha reached his ninth ODI half-century in 50 balls, laced with six fours and one solitary six. Agha and Mohammad Rizwan have put on a 89-run stand for the fourth wicket. 

Salman Ali Agha and Mohammad Rizwan have managed to take Pakistan's score near the 200-run mark, ensuring the final 15 overs will see remaining batters play fearless cricket. T20I captain Agha is nearing his ninth ODI fifty. 

After a mini-collapse, veteran players Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Ali Afgha have managed to stop the bleeding for Pakistan. Both players have added 31 runs for the fourth wicket and consolidated the innings for the visitors. 

OUT! Nahid Rana into his second spell, and manages to pick a wicket. Youngster Shamyl Hussain fails for the second-time in a row. Hussain played across the line and handed a catch via a top-edge. Earlier, opener Sahibzada Farhan, too, failed to convert his start, falling to Taskin Ahmed. 

OUT! Finally, a wicket for Bangladesh, and captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz claims the wicket of Maaz Sadaqat. Sadaqat played a fine knock, scoring 75 off 46, laying a platform for other batters. The scoop shot became the batter's undoing, giving Miraz his first wicket. 

A sensational stand for the opening wicket for Pakistan, with Maaz Sadaqat and Sahibzada Farhan notching up 100 runs in 12.2 overs. Sadaqat has been the aggressor, scoring 75 off 45, while the more experienced Farhan has scored 21. 

FIFTY! Maiden ODI and International half-century for Maaz Sadaqat for Pakistan. Sadaqat reached the landmark in 31 deliveries. Sadaqat and Sahibzada Farhan brought up the 50-run stand in 40 balls, which included four fours and three sixes. This pitch has barely any help for the pacers thus far.

This is a solid start for Pakistan, with openers adding 35 runs in just 4 overs. Youngster Maaz Sadaqat, in particular, has taken on the charge and hit 27 out of 34 runs, while Sahibzada Farhan has scored 7. Bangladesh will need to bring in Nahid Rana into the attack as soon as possible.

As Shaheen Afridi said at the toss, the Pakistan batters would have learned from their mistakes and would not repeat the same. Sahibzada Farhan will want to make the most of these chances in the ODI, while Maaz Sadaqat will look to make a name for himself in international cricket. A solid opening stand is needed from Farhan and Sadaqat.

PAK XI: Sahibzada Farhan, Maaz Sadaqat, Shamyl Hussain, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Salman Agha, Hussain Talat, Abdul Samad, Faheem Ashraf, Shaheen Afridi (c), Mohammad Wasim Jr, Haris Rauf

BAN XI: Saif Hassan, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Litton Das (wk), Mehidy Hasan Miraz (c), Towhid Hridoy, Afif Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Rishad Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman, Nahid Rana

TOSS! Bangladesh have yet again won the toss, and captain Mehidy Miraz opts to field this time as well.
