Pakistan manage to avoid the clean sweep as they beat Bangladesh by 74 runs in Mirpur. Bangladesh did clinch the series 2-1, their first one against Pakistan but the visitors did manage to end the series on a high.  Put to bat first, Pakistan set a 179-run target for Bangladesh in the 3rd T20I in Mirpur as skipper Salman Agha ensured the visitors post a challenging total in the final encounter between the 2 sides.
 
Put to bat first, Pakistan openers Farhan and Saim got the visitors to a strong start in the powerplay, with Farhan straightaway going for the big hits and taking his side to 50 runs within the powerplay itself.
 
Saim too found his groove later on and found some boundaries across the field to support Farhan who reached his fifty in just 29 deliveries on the night. While Farhan carried on, Nasum got the first breakthrough after the powerplay as Saim's attempt to hit consecutive sixes got him out as he was caught over deep square on 21 runs.
 
The incoming batter Mohd Haris survived courtesy of a quick review when Nasum struck his pads and the umpire gave him out. The ultra edge showed a spike when the ball passed the glove and the batter was saved by the DRS. Haris was again dropped at 2 by Nasum but the spinner quickly made amends as he took out Farhan from the game in his next over, with the opener geting caught on 63.
 
Hasan Nawaz did try to elevate the run rate after coming in at number 4 but Haris couldn't support him well in the middle overs. He was sent back soon after by Taskin Ahmed on 5 runs, caught at third man.
 
Skipper Salman Agha walked in and tried to build a partnership but it was Nawaz who lost his wicket at 33 courtesy of a rilliant catch by Mahedi Hasan on Shoriful Islam's delivery.
 
Farhan top-scored for his side with a well-made 63 on the night while Taskin and Nasum led the bowling line-up with 3 and 2 wickets respectively for the hosts.
 
In the end, it was skipper Salman and Mohd Nawaz who took Pakistan to 178/7 at the end of their 20 overs with a 41-run partnership at the death.  Pakistan bowlers decimate the hosts' batting order 

In reply, hosts Bangladesh got off to the worst possible start, losing two wickets within the first two overs. Opener Tanzid Hasan departed for a duck, followed by skipper Litton Das, who was clean bowled by Faheem in the second over, leaving the Bangla Tigers reeling at 10/2.

Pakistan capitalized on the early momentum with a sensational spell from Mirza and Faheem, who together picked up five wickets inside the powerplay. Their fiery pace dismantled the Bangladeshi top order and silenced the home crowd.

Mahedi Hasan, Jaker Ali, and Mehidy Hasan were all cleaned up by the pacers, reducing Bangladesh to 25/5 within the powerplay. The two teams had contrasting powerplays—Pakistan dominated while Bangladesh scrambled for survival.

To make matters worse for the hosts, skipper Salman struck in the 7th over, dismissing Shamim to make it 34/6. Pakistan maintained their grip on the game as Daniyal claimed his first wicket, removing Naim for 10 runs to leave Bangladesh at 41/7 by the 8th over.

Taskin Ahmed and Mohammad Saifuddin provided some resistance, taking Bangladesh past their lowest-ever T20I total of 70. Their partnership ensured the hosts avoided an unwanted record.

Saifuddin added a spark late in the innings, smashing two big sixes off Hussain in the 16th over for 21 runs, offering fans something to cheer about.

Ultimately, Bangladesh were bowled out for 104, as Pakistan avoided a whitewash despite having already lost the series.
