HIGHLIGHTS Bangladesh vs Pakistan, Pakistan in Bangladesh 3 ODI Series 2026, 3rd ODI- Result, Scorecard

We are back for the chase! The Bangladesh players make their way out to the middle and take up their respective field positions. Sahibzada Farhan and Maaz Sadaqat are the two openers for Pakistan. Taskin Ahmed to start proceedings with the ball. Here we go...

... THE RUN CHASE ...

Pakistan are in the game, too! Shaheen Afridi displayed sharp tactical awareness by constantly shuffling his bowling resources to exploit the significant turn on offer for the spinners. This proactive approach, complemented by Haris Rauf’s relentless accuracy with hard-length deliveries, successfully neutralized the batting charge in crunch situations. Shaheen Afridi used just three overs of Faheem Ashraf before the final over, relying on the likes of Saad Masood and Salman Agha to do the job. Now then, it's tough to call the winner right now but under the lights, the hosts are the favourites. Can they do the job?

A commanding total on the board - Building on a blistering start that saw 50 runs hammered within the Powerplay, Bangladesh laid a formidable foundation for a massive total. Tanzid Hasan remained the linchpin of the innings, exuding control and dominance while his partners rotated the strike effectively around him. Even after Hasan departed following his magnificent century, the momentum hardly wavered. Litton Das and Towhid Hridoy joined forces in a brisk 68-run partnership off just 61 deliveries. Litton Das struggled to get going, but Tawhid Hridoy ensured his team ended up close to the 300 mark total.

Series decider - Both teams will be happy as we head into the innings break. Pakistan for keeping Bangladesh under 300, while the hosts for scoring at a brisk pace on a two-paced pitch that assisted the spinners.  While Tanzid Hasan’s historic 107 set a massive platform, Haris Rauf and Shaheen Afridi really tightened the screws for Pakistan to stay alive in the series decider.

Says there are also a few dark patches due to the thunderstorms. Athar mentions that it is a sporting wicket which will help both the batters and bowlers. Reckons anything above 250 will be a good total here.

Pakistan (Playing XI) - Sahibzada Farhan, Maaz Sadaqat, Ghazi Ghori (In place of Shamyl Hussain and On Debut), Mohammad Rizwan (WK), Salman Agha, Abdul Samad, Saad Masood (In place of Hussain Talat and on Debut), Faheem Ashraf, Shaheen Afridi (C), Haris Rauf, Abrar Ahmed (In place of Mohammad Wasim).

TOSS - Pakistan have won the toss and elected to BOWL first.

The looming rain threat - The biggest question today isn't just about the battle between bat and ball, but also the skies above Dhaka. With a looming rain threat over the stadium, we might see another weather-affected match and revised targets just like we did on Friday. Let's hope the clouds stay away so we can get a full, uninterrupted contest to crown the series winner! Toss and team news to follow shortly...

Team news so far - Going into this final showdown, Pakistan will be forced to shuffle their lineup. All-rounder Hussain Talat suffered an injury while diving to stop a boundary in the last game and had to be stretchered off to the hospital. This forced change will definitely disrupt Pakistan's winning combination, meaning the team management will have some crucial decisions to make before the toss.

It has been a rollercoaster series so far - The second match was an absolute rollercoaster filled with excellent cricket and a bit of drama. Pakistan bounced back with strong batting from young Maaz Sadaqat and veteran Salman Ali Agha. However, Agha's controversial run-out by Mehidy Hasan Miraz sparked intense debate and triggered a batting collapse. Despite finishing at 274 all-out, Pakistan's fiery pace attack, led by Shaheen Afridi, ripped through the Bangladesh top order to secure a massive 128-run victory.

Welcome to the Grand Finale! Welcome to the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka for the third and final ODI! The series is perfectly tied at 1-1, and it all comes down to this thrilling decider. Interestingly, both teams share a haunting number this week - 114. Pakistan was surprisingly bundled out for 114 in the first game, while Bangladesh suffered the exact same fate in the rain-affected second match. Now, the stage is set to see who will finally conquer their demons and lift the trophy.

... MATCH DAY ...

Winner takes all in Dhaka - With the series locked at 1-1 and everything to play for, Bangladesh and Pakistan return to the Shere Bangla National Stadium for the third and final ODI on Sunday. It has been a series of two halves so far. The hosts dominated the opener with an eight-wicket win, only for Pakistan to roar back with a crushing 128-run victory in the second game. Both teams have now experienced being bowled out for exactly 114 runs in this series, proving that the Mirpur surface can be a fickle friend or a ruthless foe. Tigers hunting for home glory - Bangladesh will be desperate to reclaim their fortress after a tough outing in the second ODI where their top order crumbled before a rain delay made the chase even steeper. Captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz remains the tactical heartbeat of the side, but the pressure is on the likes of Najmul Hossain Shanto and Litton Das to provide the batting stability they lacked last time out. Litton Das showed some spark with a top score of 41 in the previous match, but the Tigers need a vintage performance from him to anchor the innings against a fired-up Pakistani pace attack. Firepower and the spirit of the game - The bowling unit continues to be Bangladesh's most dangerous weapon. Nahid Rana, the hero of the first game with his historic 5/24, will be looking to get back into his rhythm after Pakistan's openers took him on in the second match. Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman provide the experience, while Rishad Hossain's leg spin remains a crucial wicket-taking option in the middle overs. Expect a bit of extra spice in the middle following the controversial run out of Salman Ali Agha by Mehidy Hasan Miraz, an incident that has sparked a massive debate over the spirit of the game. Agha was visibly fuming after being sent packing for 64, so expect some serious intensity when these two cross paths again. With Agha admitting he was ‘not saying nice things’ in the heat of the moment, expect some extra heat when these two face off again. Pakistan's youth revolution - For the visitors, the series has validated their decision to blood new talent. The standout story has been 20-year-old Maaz Sadaqat, who followed a quiet debut with a match winning 75 off 46 balls and three wickets with his left arm spin. Pakistan's aggression at the top of the order, led by Sadaqat and Sahibzada Farhan, completely unsettled the hosts in the powerplay. Shaheen Afridi's captaincy has been proactive, and the inclusion of Haris Rauf has added raw pace that the Tigers found difficult to handle under the lights. However, they may be without all rounder Hussain Talat, who was hospitalised due to a serious left shoulder injury, after a painful collision with the boundary boards during the second game. ODI rivalry through the years - Bangladesh's most recent ODI series win over Pakistan came in 2015 when they swept the visitors 3-0 in Mirpur. However, the historical balance of power still tilts toward Pakistan, who have won 35 of the 41 matches played between these two sides. The visitors recorded dominant series wins in 2002, 2003, 2008, and 2011, but the hosts have recently won four of their last five ODI meetings against Pakistan at this specific venue. Team Form (Last 5 completed ODIs, most recent first) Bangladesh - LWWLW | Pakistan - WLWWW. The ranking crisis - Bangladesh is currently ranked 10th in the ICC ODI rankings as of March 2026, having slipped from higher positions following a tough streak of form, including a 3-0 whitewash by the West Indies in 2025. To gain automatic qualification for the 2027 tournament, Bangladesh must be among the top eight teams (excluding hosts South Africa and Zimbabwe) by the cut-off date of March 31, 2027. Currently positioned 10th, Bangladesh needs to overtake teams like the West Indies (9th) and potentially others to make the top eight. Winning this 3-match ODI series against Pakistan is a vital opportunity to gain ranking points. What to expect? Having already seen the penultimate ODI disrupted by rain, the weather looks set to play its part once again in the third and final match, with thunderstorms and showers forecast as the evening draws in. One can only hope the conditions remain kind enough to allow a full game, giving both sides the opportunity to settle the series in the competitive fashion it deserves.
