BAN Vs PAK, 1st ODI: Nahid Rana Fifer Helps Bangladesh Thrash Pakistan By Eight Wickets
Seamer Nahid Rana claimed a maiden five-wicket haul as Bangladesh held Pakistan to a new low in white-ball cricket with a dominant eight-wicket win in the first ODI on Wednesday (March 11, 2026). Rana picked up 5/24 and captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz took 3/29 through his off-spin, as Pakistan were blown away for 114 all out in 30.4 overs. It was Pakistan's lowest-ever ODI score against Bangladesh, eclipsing the previous mark of 161 during a 62-run loss at the 1999 World Cup. Recalled opener Tanzid Hasan, preferred over Soumya Sarkar, galloped Bangladesh to 115 for 2 in only 15.1 overs with a blazing unbeaten 67 off 42 balls.
