Presentations coming up...
Earlier in the game, Pakistan posted 201 runs, similar to their previous score, thanks to a strong partnership between Sahibzada Farhan and Mohammad Haris. Farhan scored 74, while Hasan Nawaz finished unbeaten on 51, continuing his impressive form. Bangladesh's bowlers restricted Pakistan in the death overs, with Hasan Mahmud and Tanzim Hasan Sakib each taking 2 wickets.
Bangladesh's batting lineup struggled to build momentum, with Tanzid Hasan being the only top order batter to reach double figures. Tanzim Hasan Sakib's late surge, scoring a half-century, was a lone bright spot in an otherwise disappointing innings. Bangladesh were eventually bowled out for 144 in 19 overs.
So, Pakistan seal the series with a convincing 57-run victory over Bangladesh in Lahore, dominating the match with another strong batting display and effective bowling. They scored over 200 runs again and bundled the visitors inside 19 overs. Abrar Ahmed was the pick of the Pakistani bowlers, claiming 3/19 from his four overs, while Faheem Ashraf, Shadab Khan, Saim Ayub, Hasan Ali, Khushdil Shah, and Haris Rauf each chipped in with a wicket.
Shoriful Islam suffered an injury while bowling and will not bat now. So that's the end of the contest and Pakistan seal this series.

OUT! TAKEN! That's the end of the game as Shoriful Islam was injured during bowling and he won't come out to bat now! Flatter, outside off, Tanzim Hasan Sakib looks to slog it but gets a slight edge and Mohammad Haris behind the sticks does the rest. Pakistan beat Bangladesh by 57 runs!
