Why are they conceding boundaries so easily? They’ve already taken three wickets, so now it’s crucial to establish at least a 100-run partnership. It appears Pakistan is operating with two captains! They were doing well earlier. However, the partnership is steadily growing, which isn’t favorable for Pakistan. They urgently need a wicket. This emphasizes the need to refrain from excessive hype surrounding Pakistan. Comparing them with India without acknowledging the reality that India would likely win 9 out of 10 matches against Pakistan is misleading. The bowlers seem exhausted, and the batting approach is too defensive.
In the first 10 overs, Bangladesh stood at 37-3. However, in the next 4 overs, Bangladeshi batsmen managed to score 24 runs. This was partly due to Pakistani bowlers delivering wider or overpitched balls, sometimes both. It seems Bangladesh is mounting a comeback.
Effectively, this match feels like Bangladesh’s home game against Pakistan, with conditions akin to Dhaka.
The Pakistani bowlers need to exercise greater caution against the Bangladesh middle order.
Catching this was a tough task, but it wasn’t impossible. Good effort by Haris.
Raja is in full-on critique mode
When will Babar bring in the fifth bowler’s over? If both batsmen get settled, it could result in a beating later on.
Somebody tell the bowlers to not bowl short

Nothing is more terrifying than a 4th or 5th wicket partnership against Pakistan after early wickets.
Watching Pakistan’s spinners bowl is quite frustrating. Shadab was struggling, we advocated for Usama to be included in the playing XI. Now, Usama seems to be facing similar challenges. lol.
