Bangladesh A produced a dominant and disciplined bowling display to bowl out Pakistan A for 125 runs in 20 overs in the Asia Cup Rising Stars final. From the outset, Pakistan found themselves in deep trouble, losing wickets at regular intervals and failing to build any meaningful partnerships throughout their innings.
The innings began in the worst possible manner when Yasir Khan was run out on the very first delivery, attempting a risky single. Faiq’s dismissal soon after, cleaned up by spinner Meherob, left Pakistan reeling at 2/2. Maaz Sadaqat and Arafat tried to inject some stability with a brief counterattack, but their progress was cut short when Rakibul Hasan dismissed Ghazi with a sharp delivery. Pakistan reached 40/3 at the end of the powerplay but were far from comfortable.
The middle phase of the innings offered little respite. Arafat was removed by Saqlain, and Bangladesh tightened the screws through Rabby and Rakibul’s economical overs. Irfan Khan’s struggle at the crease ended when Rakibul trapped him lbw, pushing Pakistan further into trouble at 76/6.
Saad Masood was the lone bright spot, striking timely boundaries and giving Pakistan a glimmer of hope as the innings approached the death overs. However, those hopes were swiftly crushed by Ripon Mondol, who delivered an extraordinary spell at the end. In a devastating 19th over, Mondol bowled three batsmen in quick succession — Shahid Aziz, Saad Masood, and Ubaid Shah — all with lethal yorkers. His remarkable figures of 3/25 ensured Pakistan had no chance of recovering.
Unable to withstand the relentless pressure, Pakistan A crawled to 125 all out, setting Bangladesh A a modest target in the championship clash.
