In reply, Bangladesh were rocked early by the Pakistan new ball bowlers. Shaheen Shah Afridi got two wickets and Mohammad Wasim Jnr got one to push Bangladesh on the backfoot as the hosts were 15/3 inside the first five overs.

The umpires took the players off the field due to lightning at the venue in the seventh over of the run chase. A heavy shower followed, along with hailstones, keeping the players off the field for over two hours.

The revised target for Bangladesh was 243 in 32 overs. Litton Das and Towhid Hridoy did give some hope to the hosts but with wickets falling at regular intervals, Bangladesh were bowled out for 114. Haris Rauf and Maaz Sadaqat picked up three wickets each. Shaheen Afridi got two wickets, Mohammad Wasim Jnr and Faheem Ashraf got one apiece.
