He confirmed one change for Pakistan, with Haris Rauf returning to the side while Abrar Ahmed has been rested.

It is raining wickets as Haris Rauf joins the party as well to pick up his first wicket of the match. The Pakistani speedster dismissed Towhid Hridoy, who took a review with himself as well. Bangladesh are starting down a heavy defeat in the second ODI.
This could all be over pretty soon as Bangladesh lost their seventh wicket in the second innings. Maaz Sadaqat is having a night to remember. After top-scoring with the bat in hand in the first innings, he has picked up three wickets, and could very well pick up a five-wicket haul as well.
Faheem Ashraf got his first wicket as Mehidy Hasan Miraz was dismissed after scoring a single run in five balls. It was a short delivery from the Pakistani bowler, which Miraz was trying to pull from the backfoot. However, he skied the ball and handed Mohammad Wasim Jr. a fairly easy catch.
The required run rate going up has finally caught up with Bangladesh, as they seem to be capitulating. Trying to take the positive route, Afif Hossain decided to take on Maaz Sadaqat with a slog sweep in the 17th over. However, a brilliant low catch from Salman Ali Agha brought about his dismissal as Bangladesh lost half of their side.
Bangladesh needs to up the ante, or they could soon find themselves out of this clash. Faheem Ashraf, in spite of being wicketless, has bowled a great spell so far. In his two overs, the bowling all-rounder has conceded only nine runs as the required run rate continues to climb for the hosts.
Maaz Sadaqat has redeemed himself with the wicket of Litton Das. The left-arm spinner had dropped Litton a few overs before. Bowling his second over, Sadaqat was hit for a six, but on the very next delivery, he trapped the right-handed batter in front of the stumps. It was originally not given out on the field, but a successful review from Pakistan overturned the decision.
Maaz Sadqat and Faheem Ashraf have brought a sense of calm back into this innings for Pakistan. Sadaqat gave away only a couple of runs in the 11th over, before Ashraf gave five runs in the 12th over. Courtesy of those two quiet overs the required rate has shot up to 8.8 for Bangladesh.
Litton Das has been dropped by Pakistan’s star from the first innings, Maaz Sadaqat. The Banfladeshi wicketkeeper pulled this short ball from Haris Rauf to deep backward square-leg.

Litton ended the 10th over with another boundary as the Banlga Tigers continue to make a comeback.
Shaheen Afridi has given himself an elongated spell here. The Pakistani skipper is bowling his fifth over in the innings from the maximum quota of seven overs as per the revised playing conditions. Bangladesh seem to be making a comeback in the clash, having struck three boundaries in the last two overs. With only two overs remaining from Shaheen in this clash, this partnership could change things for the hosts. They would want to continue to hit a boundary in every over, with the required run rate being more than 8.5 runs per over.
The players are back on the field after a long rain delay. Shaheen Afridi resumed his fourth over. It was the last over of the power play as per the revised playing conditions. He conceded only a single in his remaining three balls as Pakistan continues to dominate this clash.

The ground staff at the Shere Bangla National Stadium is talking to the on-field umpires. While what is being discussed has not been revealed, the visuals suggest that play might not be resuming anytime soon.
The umpires went on to talk to Mike Hesson and Shaheen Afridi from the Pakistani camp. The floodlgihts too had been momentarily switched off before one of them was switched on again.
Rain has slowed down, but with the whole ground not being covered, it could take some time to get the ground ready even after the rain comes to a complete stop.

Bangladesh got some momentum going finally after being rocked back by the three wickets. Litton Das holds the key for the hosts, having struck a couple of boundaries against Wasim Jr in the sixth over. Will the wicketkeeper batter bail out his side from a tricky situation?
The Pakistani skipper is getting all the help from the pitch to make him unplayable. Shaheen Afridi struck again in his third over to pick up his second wicket of the match. The left-arm pacer bowled a length delivery which kept a bit low and knocked over the stumps to send Najmul Hossain Shanto back to the pavillion for a second-ball duck.
The crowd in Dhaka has been silenced as Pakistan strike twice in the space of two balls. After Shaheen’s wicket off the final ball of the third over, Mohammad Wasim Jr dismissed Saif Hassan on the very next delivery to push the hosts on the back foot.

Meanwhile, Saif Hassan has taken over the mantle of scoring in the power play for the hosts. The right-handed batter was struck on his gloves in the second over, but has since struck a couple of fours.
Shaheen Afridi starts with a quiet over in the second innings. The Pakistani skipper found unvariable bounce on the pitch with the new ball as he gave away only a single run in the first over. He would need some support from the other end if Pakistan goes on to win this clash.
Rishad Hossain finished with a three-wicket haul as Pakistan was bowled out for 274 runs. The Bangladeshi leg-spinner picked up the final wicket of the innings, setting up an exciting chase in the second innings. The Bangla Tigers need 275 runs to take an unassailable lead in the three-match ODI series.
Pakistan continues to lose the plot as the ninth wicket falls for the visitors. Mustafizur Rahmand dismissed bowling all-rounder, Faheem Ashraf in the 47th over, as Pakistan struggled to finish on a positive note after a rollicking start from the top-order batters. Bangladesh need one wicket to bowl out their opponent for the second time in a row.
Bangladesh are looking to end the first innings on a high, taking the momentum with them in the second innings. They have been pretty economical with their bowling after dismissing Hussain Talat and Abdul Samad in the 43rd over. Since their dismissals, only eight runs have been scored in the next 15 balls. The Bangla Tigers would be looking to restrict Pakistan to a score of less than 290.
The 43rd over from Rishad Hossain brought the hosts, Bangladesh, back into the game. The leg-spinner dismissed Hussain Talat. A couple of balls later, Abdul Samad was run out as Pakistan continued to lose their grip on the game.

Pakistan ended the power play on a dominating note, having scored 85 runs in the first 10 overs. Maaz Sadaqat has continued to be the aggressor between the opening batters. The young batter has raced to his maiden fifty and would be eyeing a century in only his second One-Day International match.
Maaz Sadaqat completed his maiden half-century in ODIs in the ninth over of the clash. The left-handed batter reached the milestone with a four in 31 balls. Having scored more than 80% of the runs in the innings, the 20-year-old is making a statement after performing poorly in his debut match.
Bangladesh is looking clueless out there. Searching for that opening wicket, the hosts seem to have tried everything in the first eight overs. And now they have also burned a review for a caught behind. Tasking Ahmed, coming off an expensive first spell, appealed for a caught behind on the first ball of the eighth over. He was joined by wicketkeeper Litton Das to challenge the on-field decision. However, ultra-edge revealed no bat as the Banlga Tigers wasted their first review. To make things worse, Taskin was struck for a six in the over.
Sahibzada Farhan takes a smart review call after being adjudged out by the on-field umpire. The Pakistani batter was given LBW before he made the T signal. Bangladesh is still searching for that first wicket of the clash.

The 20-year-old left-handed batter has raced to 36 off 16 deliveries, having hit three sixes and three fours each.

The Pakistan got off to an aggressive start in the second ODI, reaching 30/0 after 3 overs against the Bangladesh national cricket team. Taskin Ahmed kept the first over tight, conceding just a boundary as Pakistan moved to 4/0 after 1 over. In the next over, Mustafizur Rahman was taken on by Maaz Sadaqat, who struck two fours to push the score to 14/0 after 2 overs. The third over proved expensive for Taskin as Sadaqat dominated with a couple of big hits, including a six off a no-ball and another maximum over mid-wicket. Pakistan added 16 runs in the over to race to 30/0, with Sadaqat leading the charge early on.
The Pakistan national cricket team made a steady start in the second ODI, reaching 14/0 after 2 overs against the Bangladesh national cricket team. In the opening over, Taskin Ahmed kept things tight but conceded a boundary when Sahibzada Farhan flicked a delivery off his pads, helping Pakistan move to 4/0 after 1 over. The second over from Mustafizur Rahman proved expensive as Maaz Sadaqat struck two consecutive boundaries through the off side. Pakistan added 10 runs in the over to reach 14/0 after 2 overs, with Farhan and Sadaqat looking comfortable at the crease.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz looks back at the 1st ODI
Historically, the Pakistan national cricket team have dominated the ODI rivalry against the Bangladesh national cricket team. In the 40 matches played between the two sides, Pakistan have won 34, while Bangladesh have managed to secure victory on six occasions.
In a must-win clash, the Pakistan national cricket team are likely to tweak their batting order after being bowled out for just 114 in the first ODI. Captain Shaheen Shah Afridi will expect a better start from his inexperienced top order after four debutants struggled in the opener. The middle order will rely heavily on Mohammad Rizwan and Agha Salman to steady the innings against spin. Meanwhile, pacer Haris Rauf could return to strengthen the bowling attack. Pakistan’s bowlers will also need improved discipline in the powerplay to stop Bangladesh from getting another strong start.
Bangladesh national cricket team head into the second ODI with strong momentum after an emphatic eight-wicket win in the opener, chasing 115 in only 15.1 overs. The hosts are expected to retain the same playing XI, banking on pacer Nahid Rana, who recently took a career-best five-wicket haul. Captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz will also rely on spin options like Rishad Hossain in familiar home conditions as Bangladesh aim to seal the series. At the top, Tanzid Hasan remains in fine form after his unbeaten half-century, while experienced batters Litton Das and Najmul Hossain Shanto will look to add stability in the middle order.
A new-look Pakistan national cricket team suffered a heavy defeat in the first ODI of the three-match series as Bangladesh national cricket team dominated from start to finish. Nahid Rana delivered a fiery spell, claiming his maiden ODI five-wicket haul and helping bowl Pakistan out for just 115 — their lowest total against Bangladesh. In reply, Tanzid Hasan scored an unbeaten 67 to guide the hosts to a comfortable win with nearly 35 overs remaining. Pakistan now face pressure after a poor ICC Men’s T20 World Cup campaign and this crushing loss, while Bangladesh will look to seal the series with another strong performance.
