Bangladesh struggled at 23/3 in six overs when rain intervened, threatening to abandon the match. Thanks to the ground staff, play resumed, and Litton Das with Towhid Hridoy built a 58-run fourth-wicket stand.
As Bangladesh attempted a comeback, Sadaqat broke the partnership, triggering a collapse.
After a poor series opener, Afridi's team bounced back as openers Sahibzada Farhan and Sadaqat added 103 for the first wicket. Both were dismissed by Shamyl Hossain, leaving Pakistan at 123/3 in 19 overs.

This wicket sparked another collapse, with Pakistan losing their last seven wickets for just 43 runs. Still, they posted a formidable target and stayed alive in the ongoing series with one match left.
