BAN vs PAK: Pakistan thrashes Bangladesh by 128 runs in rain-hit second ODI

Pakistan defeated Bangladesh by 128 runs via the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method in the rain-affected second ODI at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Friday.

Maaz Sadaqat was the stand-out performer of the game, blasting a rapid 75 for Pakistan before picking up three wickets.

Chasing a revised target of 243 in 32 overs after a two-hour rain and hailstorm delay, Bangladesh collapsed for 114 in 23.3 overs despite a brief counterattack from Litton Das.

Bangladesh had already been in trouble before the weather halted play.

Tanzid Hasan fell early for one, caught at backward square-leg off Shaheen Shah Afridi, while Saif Hassan departed for 12 after offering a catch to short mid-off off Mohammad Wasim Jr.

Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto was bowled by Afridi for a duck, leaving the host reeling at 27 for three in 6.3 overs when a sudden thunderstorm accompanied by hail forced the players off the field.

When play resumed, Litton attempted to revive the chase with a series of boundaries, including two sixes. He was eventually trapped lbw for 41 by part-time spinner Sadaqat.

Towhid Hridoy made 28 off 38 balls before falling lbw to Haris Rauf, while Afif Hossain added 14 before becoming Sadaqat’s second victim.

Captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz managed just one run as Bangladesh’s innings folded quickly.

Rauf and Sadaqat claimed three wickets each to complete a dominant bowling performance for Pakistan.

Earlier, Bangladesh had fought back with the ball to bowl Pakistan out for 274 in 47.3 overs after a blistering start by the visitor.

Pakistan raced to 103 for the opening wicket inside 13 overs through an aggressive partnership between Sahibzada Farhan and Sadaqat.

Sadaqat struck 75 off 46 balls with six fours and five sixes, while Farhan scored 31 before falling to Taskin Ahmed.

Salman Ali Agha later top-scored with 64 from 62 balls and shared a 109-run stand with Mohammad Rizwan (44), though Agha’s innings ended in a dramatic run-out by Miraz at the non-striker’s end that sparked animated reactions on the field.

Leg-spinner Rishad Hossain finished as the pick of the bowlers with three for 56 as Pakistan was eventually bowled out for 274, a total that proved more than enough on a rain-shortened night in Mirpur.

Deadspin | Leaders working with ‘private partners’ to save Whitecaps  A banner in support of “Save the Caps” a campaign aimed to keep the Whitecaps in Vancouver is seen during the MLS match at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field on Saturday, May 2, 2026 in Columbus, Ohio.   The City of Vancouver, the government of British Columbia, First Nations leaders and the owners of BC Place are working together with “private partners” to try and save the Whitecaps.  They issued a joint statement on Thursday updating their efforts to keep the MLS team from relocating, perhaps to Las Vegas. The private partners were not identified.  Their goals include “improving the game day economic model at BC Place, exploring additional sponsorship opportunities, and advancing work on potential sites for a new stadium and development.”  “Let’s be clear: Vancouver is open for business. We are doing everything we can to keep the Whitecaps here, and we are committed to building a long-term solution that reflects the scale, ambition, and global future of this city,” read their joint statement.  On May 1, The Athletic reported that there was a formal offer on the table to purchase the Whitecaps and move the team to Las Vegas.   An investor group led by Grant Gustavson, the son of Kentucky billionaire Tamara Gustavson and grandson of Public Storage founder B. Wayne Hughes, submitted a bid to the league office.  The Whitecaps originally were founded in 1974 as a member of the North American Soccer League and were later revived as an MLS franchise in 2009.  The team has been up for sale since December 2024.  Fans in Vancouver have engaged in a “Save The Caps” movement in an attempt to keep the club in British Columbia. The Whitecaps are one of three MLS clubs in Canada along with Toronto FC and CF Montreal.  –Field Level Media    #Deadspin #Leaders #working #private #partners #save #WhitecapsA banner in support of “Save the Caps” a campaign aimed to keep the Whitecaps in Vancouver is seen during the MLS match at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field on Saturday, May 2, 2026 in Columbus, Ohio.
