PAK openers Maaz Sadaqat and Sahibzada Farhan at the crease as they eye fast start against Bangladesh in the 1st ODI in Dhaka.

Maaz Sadaqat, Sahibzada Farhan have taken the cautious approach against the Bangladesh bowlers in Dhaka. The ball is seaming a bit and the Pakistani batters do not want to take a risk with big hits.

PAK 19-0 (5 Overs)

Maaz Sadaqat, Sahibzada Farhan have kept the scoreboard ticking for Pakistan against Bangladesh in the 1st ODI. BAN opted to bowl first in Dhaka but we are approaching 10th over and still no success for the hosts as they try to get an early breakthrough.

PAK 30-0 (8 Overs)

Pakistan have lost the wicket of Sahibzada Farhan to Nahid Rana in the 10th over. The PAK opener was doing nicely until he gave his wicket away. The southpaw carved his shot towards point but finds the fielder and has to go back.

PAK 41-1 (10 Overs)

Pakistan are in a spot of bother before the 15th over with two quick wickets, and going three down against Bangladesh. Shamyl Hussain and Maaz Sadaqat are latest to fall for the visitors as they look to rebuild their innings after a cautious start in Dhaka.

PAK 55-3 (14 Overs)

Wow! How miserable it could get for the Pakistanis as they see themselves struggle against BAN bowling. Mohammad Rizwan is the latest to fall for the visitors as they go four down in Dhaka. The Men In Green need a big partnership here or else they could find themselves in big, big trouble.

PAK 65-4 (17 Overs)

This has been a miserable batting performance from the PAK side. They have yet to come out of the T20 mode as their shot-making has seen them slide to 70/6 against BAN with Nahid Rana being the wrecker in-chief.

PAK 70-6 (19 Overs)

A lot will depend on the shoulders of Faheem Ashraf and Hussain Talat to take their team to a respectable total. Six down and facing the ignominy of bowled out in double digits, the Men In Green's 'revamped' start to the ODI format has not gone to plan.

PAK 77-6 (22 Overs)

Wow! Unimaginable scoreline this! Pakistan are still to hit 100-run mark and they find themselves nine down. Shaheen Afridi is leading a new side on this tour but it seems old habits die hard.

PAK 91-9 (25 Overs)

Faheem Ashraf has taken his side towards 100-run mark in Dhaka. Pakistan batters have failed to light up the scoreboard with none of them making it past 30 runs. Bangladesh have bowled well and made PAK batters work hard for each ball.

PAK 102-9 (26 Overs)

Faheem Ashraf has batted really well down the order and is approaching his fifty. With the others batters failing around him, Faheem has showed skill and aggression in equal measure.

PAK 114-9 (30 Overs)

What a debacle for PAK! They are bowled out for 114 in 30.4 overs and it seems BAN batters cannot wait to get out there and chase down the score. Nahid Rana took five wickets and was given good support by the skipper Mehidy Hasan Miraz. For PAK, Faheem stood tall with 37 runs.

PAK 114 All Out

Bangladesh are off to a fiery start in their chase of 115. Opener Tanzid Hasan Tamim plays some good shots until Shaheed Shah Afridi chips in with the first breakthrough for Pakistan. Saif Hassan is the batter to depart, who pushed an angled across delivery to the point fielder.

BAN 31/1 (3)

Tanzid Hasan Tamim has taken Pakistan bowlers to all parts of the ground and made a mockery of the target. The opener has slammed an unbeaten 41 runs off 25 balls including five fours and three sixes to break the back of the chase. He's been well complemented by Najmul Hassan Shanto, who's batting quite well on 22 runs off 19 balls.

BAN 78/1 (9)

Mohammad Wasim bowls a wide and with the it's curtains for Pakistan. Bangladesh win the match by 8 wickets with 209 balls to spare. It's a humiliating defeat for the visitors as the home team swept them aside. With this thumping victory, BAN take a significant 1-0 lead over the Green Shirts in the series.

BAN 115/2 (15.1)

That's a wrap from our end. We'll meet soon with another blog, until then, bye bye.
