Commentary

Thanks a lot for joining us- Mohul Bhowmick and Sooryanarayanan Sesha- for this coverage of the second innings of this outing between Pakistan and Bangladesh in the first game of the Super Four stage of the Asia Cup 2023. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did bringing it to you. Stay tuned to Sportskeeda, and until next time, adios!

Haris Rauf (Player of the Match): Thanks be to God for this performance. The heat was overwhelming but as a professional, we have to adjust to these things and adapt quickly. The crowd played a big role in egging us on and I was happy to treat them to a good performance. We plan and prepare before every game and try to implement them, and thankfully, things fell into place today. I had planned to bowl at the stumps today, and luckily, it worked out rather well.

Babar Azam (Pakistan captain): There was a lot of heat today, but full credit to the fast bowlers. Our bowlers were fantastic today. I am very happy with the way we performed today. Whenever we play in Lahore, the crowd supports us. It doesn't matter much to us (that we are playing against India next) because we give our best in every game that we play. We are ready and prepared.

There was a brief stoppage in play shortly after the run chase began owing to a floodlight failure. Needless to say, fans had a lot to say about that and took to Twitter over the same. Here's a look into the reactions!👇

"Aur inko Asia Cup aur Champions Trophy host karna hai" - Fans roast PCB for floodlight failure during Pakistan vs Bangladesh Asia Cup clash

Imam-ul-Haq: Not one of my most fluent innings. Even we thought it would be a good batting wicket but it was seaming around. That was a surprise for us. But I'm very happy since I've worked on my back foot game against the spinners. (Discussion with Rizwan to finish it quickly for net run-rate?) We discussed about it and we had a plan. When things were very simple we thought we can chase in 36 overs. We were not sure about net run-rate in the upcoming matches but luckily Rizzy and I accelerated and we finished the match quickly. (On his team's fast-bowlers) They were remarkable - I want them to bowl like this for another couple of months (grins). I will not take one particular name. God bless them, that's all I want to say.

Shakib Al Hasan (Bangladesh captain): I thought we lost too many wickets at the start. They bowled really well and we played some ordinary shots. On a wicket like this we shouldn't have lost four wickets in ten overs. But we had a very good partnership and we should have kept going for about 7-8 overs to build a platform but it never happened. All in all I thought it was a very poor batting display on this surface but we have to take it on the chin and move on because we have another important game in a couple of days' time. They're the number 1 team and this is the reason they are the number 1 team - they have three world-class fast-bowlers doing well for them. If they do that it gets easier for their batters. We've been doing well as a bowling department but our batting has been up and down. Some days it's coming off, some days it's not. I thought our three seamers bowled brilliantly. Our seamers have been bowling really well for the past three years. They showed it again brilliantly. It was difficult to get wickets on this pitch unless batters made mistakes. (On facing Sri Lanka next in Colombo) When I played the LPL the pitches there were slow and a bit up and down. If that happens it'll suit us better. Hopefully we can do better in Colombo.

A comprehensive win for Pakistan but it wasn't to be for skipper Babar Azam who chopped one onto his stumps. Here's how Twitter reacted to him failing to get going today!👇

"Please arrange a match immediately with Nepal" - Twitter trolls Babar Azam for falling cheaply against Bangladesh in Asia Cup 2023

Pakistan beat Bangladesh by 7 wickets!

Imam-ul-Haq 78 (84) | Haris Rauf 4-19
Mushfiqur Rahim 64 (87) | Naseem Shah 3-34

As was expected, Pakistan coasted to a rather comfortable victory over Bangladesh in the first game of the Super Four stage of the Asia Cup 2023 here in Lahore.

The target of 194 set to them by Bangladesh was not challenging at all to them, but Pakistan took their time and made sure that they crossed the line in the fortieth over.

Mohammad Rizwan and Imam-Ul-Haq starred with the bat in hand for Pakistan in this game but it was their bowlers who made sure that they bowled Bangladesh out for 193.

However, the runs still needed chasing, and Imam and Rizwan ensured that the hosts did not suffer from any major hiccups while doing so. Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah made sure that Bangladesh could not get to a big total.

The former picked up four wickets for just nineteen wickets while the latter ended up with three for thirty-four. Bangladesh will be disappointed with the fact that they did not build too many partnerships after Shakib Al Hasan departed.

Their batting was not very consistent and this ultimately led to their downfall. Pakistan will be extremely proud of the way they performed today and ended the evening with a clinical victory to their name.

Bangladesh, however, will have to pick themselves up quickly and get back on the horse. There is not much time for them to grieve. They will have to come back strongly and try to win their next match.
