- 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.
