Zakir scored 40 off 39 balls, hitting three boundaries and two sixes. His dismissal left Bangladesh at 58-1 after 12.2 overs. At the time of writing, the visitors are 80-2 after 20 overs, needing 105 more to win.

Hasan Mahmud and Nahid Rana shine with the ball for Bangladesh

Pakistan took a 12-run lead in the first innings after Litton Das' superb 138-run knock salvaged the game for Bangladesh. However, they struggled at the start of their second innings, losing two wickets — Abdullah Shafique (3) and Khurram Shahzad (0) — for just nine runs by the end of Day 3.

Saim Ayub (20) and captain Shan Masood (28) got starts but were unable to convert them into substantial scores. Former Pakistan skipper Babar Azam's lean patch continued as he was dismissed for 11 off 18 balls by Nahid Rana.

Mohammad Rizwan and Agha Salman put together a 55-run partnership off 95 balls for the seventh wicket before Rizwan was dismissed by Hasan Mahmud for 43. Salman remained unbeaten on 47 off 71 balls but lacked support from the other end. Pakistan were all out for 172 in 46.4 overs. Hasan took five wickets, while Rana claimed four.
