About the ball
The nip backer from Rahman and Rizwan didn’t account for the movement as he pushed forward, big gap between bat and pad, enough for the ball to go through, hit the off-stump, and sent it cart-wheeling towards the keeper.
Summary of the game
Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat first. But this decision was not justified by the batters as they were 15 for 3 in the fifth over. The contribution of Afif Hossain, Nurul Hasan, and Mahedi Hasan helped Bangladesh to post a score of 127 in their 20 overs.

For Pakistan, it was a complete bowling performance led the Hasan Ali, who picked up three wickets.
The chase for Pakistan was not at all easy as they lost both their openers 22 runs at the board. Wickets started to fall like a pack of cards as at the end of the powerplay their score was 24 runs with 4 wickets already down.
A slow partnership between Fakhar and Khushdil rebuilds the innings for them. And at the end, some firepower of Shadab and Nawaz helped Pakistan to cross the winning total and take a lead of 1-0 in a three-match T20 series. Hasan Ali was awarded the Player of the Match.
