17.0 - Shakib to Hafeez, FOUR, another boundary off the last ball of the over. It was floated up outside off, Hafeez steps out of the crease and gets to the pitch of the ball, he loft-drives it past the fielder at extra cover and the ball runs away to the fence

16.0 - Taskin Ahmed to Hafeez, FOUR, that's a great shot from Hafeez, 13 runs came off the over. It was full and outside off, Hafeez lofts it in the gap between mid-off and extra cover, he split both the fielders to perfection and the ball rockets away to the fence

14.1 - Mortaza to Hafeez, FOUR, lucky boundary for Hafeez but he will take it as they come. It was full outside off, Hafeez goes for the drive and gets a thick outside edge that flies over the short third man fielder, who gives chase but the ball wins the race

12.2 - A Sunny to Hafeez, FOUR, comes down the track and lofts this tossed up delivery over mid-on, the ball runs away to the fence and Hafeez gets off the mark with a boundary

11.3 - Nasir Hossain to Mukhtar Ahmed, FOUR, floated up on middle stump line, Ahmed comes charging down the track and lofts it straight over the bowler's head, long-off runs to his right and misfields, allows the ball to roll away to the fence. Poor fielding effort from Soumya Sarkar there

7.4 - Mortaza to Mukhtar Ahmed, FOUR, slower ball outside off, Ahmed drills it off the inside half of the bat past the bowler, long-off had no chance off cutting that off running to his right, Ahmed collects four

5.0 - A Sunny to Mukhtar Ahmed, FOUR, Ahmed backs away and Sunny drags his length back, Ahmed adjusts well though and punches it in the gap between extra cover and mid-off, the ball hurries across the turf and runs away to the fence

4.3 - A Sunny to Ahmed Shehzad, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries! It was flatter and on the stumps, Shehzad comes dancing down the track and whips it to the cow corner fence. Two bounces and into the fence

4.2 - A Sunny to Ahmed Shehzad, FOUR, Shehzad gives the charge this time to this delivery on middle and leg, he flicks it over mid-wicket and the ball runs away to the cow corner fence

3.4 - Mortaza to Mukhtar Ahmed, FOUR, even better timing on this one. Once again Mortaza overpitches, Ahmed leans forward and lofts it inside-out over extra cover for a boundary

3.3 - Mortaza to Mukhtar Ahmed, FOUR, a boundary to ease the pressure. It was full and outside off, Ahmed loft-drives it wide of mid-off and the ball runs away to the fence in no time

15.4 - Taskin Ahmed to Sohail, SIX, banged in short and at the batsman, Sohail goes on the back foot and pulls it magnificently over the deep mid-wicket fence, that ball went quite the distance there

10.3 - Mustafizur Rahman to Afridi, SIX, first maximum for Boom-Boom! It was banged in short and Afridi pulls it over the deep backward square leg fence. The fielder at deep square leg runs to his right but could only watch the ball sail over the fence

8.2 - Taskin Ahmed to Mukhtar Ahmed, SIX, hammered! It was just short of a good length and angling in on the stumps, Ahmed slogs hard and connects well, uses the pace on the ball and deposits it over the deep mid-wicket fence

20.0 - Taskin Ahmed to Tanvir, out Tanvir Run Out!! 1 run completed. Bangladesh finish on a high. It was bowled full and on leg stump line, Sohail clips it towards deep mid-wicket, the batsmen come back for the second, but the fielder fires in a flat and accurate throw at the striker's end, Rahim takes the bails off in a flash to catch Tanvir short. Tanvir run out (S Rahman/Rahim) 8(8)

17.5 - Mustafizur Rahman to Hafeez, out Lbw!! This is brilliant bowling from the youngster. His second wicket and this was as plumb as it gets. Hafeez goes right across his stumps and tries to play the sweep off this full delivery. He misses the ball and was trapped right in front of middle. There was a loud appeal and that's the easiest decision the umpire had to make all night as he raises his finger in a flash. Hafeez lbw b Mustafizur Rahman 26(18) [4s-4]

12.1 - A Sunny to Mukhtar Ahmed, out Stumped!! Ahmed makes way too much room to this flighted delivery, but fails to connect as he went for the slog. He misses and had dragged his foot outside as well. Rahim quickly collects it and disturbs the stumps even before Ahmed could drag his foot back in. He goes after a good knock in his debut match. Mukhtar Ahmed st Rahim b A Sunny 37(30) [4s-5 6s-1]

10.4 - Mustafizur Rahman to Afridi, out Caught by Rahim!! Afridi is so disappointed with that decision. He asks the umpire whether there's a review available, but the umpire says no. He walks back dejected. Coming back to the ball, it was a back of a length delivery that nips away from middle stump line, Afridi pushes at it and misses it completely. There was an appeal and the umpire raised his finger immediately. Maiden wicket for Mustafizur, but Afridi was unlucky there. Afridi c Rahim b Mustafizur Rahman 12(9) [6s-1]

9.0 - Taskin Ahmed to Ahmed Shehzad, out Caught by Mortaza!! The crowd goes berserk as Shehzad goes after a long struggle at the crease. The umpire checks for the front foot no-ball, it looks touch-and-go, but decides in favour of the fielding side. It was full delivery outside off, Shehzad goes for the big loft but doesn't get under it properly. Mortaza from long-off runs in, dives forward and takes a great catch. He is pumped up after taking that chance. Ahmed Shehzad c Mortaza b Taskin Ahmed 17(31) [4s-2]

18.4 - Shakib to Tanvir, 2 runs, full toss outside off, Tanvir lofts it over the bowler's head, the batsmen take another couple before long-on runs to his left and stops the ball, it wasn't timed that well from Tanvir

9.5 - Mortaza to Mukhtar Ahmed, 1 run, length delivery outside off, Ahmed drives it on the up to extra cover, he set off for the single and Mahmudullah fires in the throw at the non-striker's end and misses. A direct-hit would have been curtains for Ahmed there

8.5 - Taskin Ahmed to Mukhtar Ahmed, 1 run, slower ball outside off, Ahmed mistimes the heave, the batsmen take a single as the ball rolls away towards the mid-wicket region

2.3 - Mustafizur Rahman to Ahmed Shehzad, no run, comes down the track this time and slaps it to the right of backward point, Shehzad set off for the single there, but Sabbir was quick to get across, picks the ball and fires in the throw at the striker's end. Shehzad has to rush back in, a direct-hit would have caught him short. He misses though and the batsmen don't run for an overthrow as there was no one backing up that throw

16.2 - Ajmal to Shakib, FOUR, Bangladesh win by 7 wickets, a deserving win for the hosts. This is the first time they have defeated Pakistan in a T20I. Coming back to the ball, it was tossed up outside off, Shakib comes down the track and drives it wide of mid-off, the ball hurries across the turf and runs away to the fence

16.0 - Riaz to Shakib, FOUR, Shakib too reaches his fifty now, that too in style. This brings up the 100-run partnership as well. It was a short delivery from Riaz, Shakib muscles the pull over mid-wicket and the ball crashes into the fence

15.4 - Riaz to S Rahman, FOUR, what a shot! Riaz offers some width on this occasion, Rahman waits for it and flat-bats it past a diving cover, the ball runs away to the fence

15.1 - Riaz to S Rahman, FOUR, that's clubbed by Rahman, on a length and just outside off, Rahman clears his left leg and heaves it over mid-on for a boundary

14.1 - Ajmal to S Rahman, FOUR, Rahman has been brilliant today, he waits for this full delivery just outside off and employs the reverse sweep, sends it to the right of short third man, who was a mere spectator there

13.3 - Tanvir to Shakib, FOUR, again Tanvir bowls this wide outside off, Shakib cuts it hard and in the air over backward point, who jumps high but can't get a hand to it, the ball runs away to the fence

12.4 - Riaz to Shakib, FOUR, on the pads, you can't bowl to Shakib there. He allows the ball to come and gently tickles it to the fine leg fence, Bangladesh are rollicking along here

12.1 - Riaz to S Rahman, FOUR, back of a length delivery outside off, Rahman rocks back and forehands the pull back over the bowler, the ball runs away to the long-on fence

12.0 - Afridi to Shakib, FOUR, Afridi drags his length back and Shakib cuts it past backward point, who dives to his left to try and take the catch as it was in the air for some time. He can't stop it and the ball runs away to the fence. Afridi thought that Gul should have done better there and was once again disappointed with the fielding effort

10.3 - Umar Gul to S Rahman, FOUR, consecutive boundaries for Rahman! It was a short of length delivery outside off, Rahman opens the face of the bat and guides it past backward point, who gets a hand on it and takes the pace off the ball. Third man runs to his right, puts in the dive but can only manage to parry it to the fence

10.2 - Umar Gul to S Rahman, FOUR, Rahman joins the party, he comes down the track and flat-bats this shortish delivery outside off, he gets it over the fielder at mid-off and that's all he had to do there to collect four

9.5 - Ajmal to Shakib, FOUR, this is great batting from Shakib, again he uses his feet to get to the pitch of the ball, he lofts it over the bowler's head and the ball races away to the fence

8.2 - Afridi to Shakib, FOUR, back-to-back fours for Shakib, it was full and just outside off, Shakib drills it past the non-striker and the ball crashes into the fence in no time

8.1 - Afridi to Shakib, FOUR, Shakib comes down the track and looks to drive it down the ground, he gets an outside edge and the ball runs away to the third man fence, the fielder at third man was inside the circle

6.1 - Afridi to Shakib, FOUR, short and slightly wide outside off, Shakib goes deep in the crease and cuts it past backward point, the fielder from sweeper cover runs to his right but the ball beats him to the fence

6.0 - Riaz to S Rahman, FOUR, poor last delivery from Riaz, he again bowls this one on the pads, Rahman hangs back and tucks it away to the left of short fine leg, there was no protection in the deep and he collects four for that

5.2 - Riaz to Rahim, FOUR, backs away slightly and comes down the track, Riaz angles this across off, Rahim slaps it wide of mid-off and the ball runs away to the fence

3.5 - Tanvir to Rahim, FOUR, take that Tanvir! It was banged in short and outside off, Rahim swivels and pulls it over the fielder at mid-on, the ball races away to the fence. He didn't time it that well, but the ball had enough legs to reach the fence

2.5 - Umar Gul to Rahim, FOUR, that's the shot of the day for me! It was full and outside off, Rahim transfers his weight on the front foot and drives it past beautifully a diving point, the ball hurries across the turf and crashes into the fence

2.4 - Umar Gul to Rahim, FOUR, length delivery around off, Rahim goes across and punches it past the non-striker, mid-on gives chase but that was timed superbly, beats him to the fence

0.4 - Hafeez to Tamim, FOUR, Tamim has no respect for Hafeez as once again he comes down the track, reaches to the pitch of the ball and lofts it inside-out over extra cover as well. The ball runs away to the fence

0.3 - Hafeez to Tamim, FOUR, floated up outside off, Tamim comes down the track and lofts it inside-out over extra cover, the fielder from long-off runs to his right, dives and tries to push the ball back in, but it rolls back on the rope

10.4 - Umar Gul to S Rahman, SIX, 50 of the partnership comes up, this one was banged in short and on leg, Rahman goes across and pulls it over the deep backward square leg fence. What a hit to put Gul under tremendous pressure

0.2 - Hafeez to Tamim, SIX, Tamim comes down the track and smashes this flighted delivery over the long-on fence. What a way to get off the mark for Tamim

5.4 - Riaz to Rahim, out Bowled!! Big, big wicket for Pakistan. The crowd has gone silent after this wicket. It was a length delivery angled across off, Rahim pushes at it, the ball takes the inside edge and uproots the middle stump. Rahim walks back disappointed and Pakistan are again back into the game. Riaz punches the air in delight after taking the wicket. Rahim b Riaz 19(15) [4s-4]

2.2 - Umar Gul to Tamim, out Caught by Hafeez!! Umar Gul is delighted after sending the dangerous Tamim on his way back. It was short and slightly wide outside off, Tamim goes hard on the cut, he ends up getting an outside edge and Hafeez at fly slip takes an easy catch. A big breakthrough for Pakistan and Bangladesh are in trouble here early on. Tamim c Hafeez b Umar Gul 14(10) [4s-2 6s-1]

0.5 - Hafeez to Tamim, out Soumya Sarkar Run Out!! Sarkar goes for a diamond duck in his debut game. It was bowled on the pads of Tamim, who clips it to square leg and set off.
