Pakistan vs Bangladesh 2nd ODI, LIVE Cricket Score: Play stopped due to lightning between BAN vs PAK in Dhaka

PAK vs BAN 2nd ODI Live Score, Bangladesh vs Pakistan Live Cricket Score Updates: Pakistan's top scorer was Maaz Sadaqat, who scored a 46-ball 75 in only his second ODI. The game's biggest talking point was the controversial run out of Salman Ali Agha.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh (PAK vs BAN) 2nd ODI Live Cricket Score Updates: Bangladesh are 27/3 with Shaheen Afridi picking up two wickets before the break. Earlier, Pakistan have set Bangladesh a target of 275 in the second ODI at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur in a game that featured a controversial run out of Pakistan’s T20I captain Salman Ali Agha. Agha was run out for 64 when he was at the non-striker’s end and tried to pick up the ball to give the Bangladesh bowler Mehidy Hasan Miraz. But Miraz picked the ball up before Agha could reach it and threw it at the stumps before appealing for a run out. Agha was fuming at that appeal, but it was a legal dismissal within the laws of the game, and Agha was out of his crease, so he had to walk back. Including that wicket, Pakistan lost their final seven wickets for just 43 runs

Before that wicket, Agha and Mohammad Rizwan had stitched a 109-run partnership for Pakistan after coming together when Pakistan had lost three wickets with 122 runs on board. Two balls after Agha’s wicket fell, Rizwan departed too.

BAN vs PAK 2nd ODI Match – Live Cricket Score, Full Scorecard: Watch Here

Earlier, Maaz Sadaqat had scored a 46-ball 75 to help Pakistan reach the 100-run mark in just 13 overs after they were asked to bat first by Bangladesh in the second ODI. Losing their first wicket for 103 is a much-needed improvement for Pakistan, considering they were bunded out for 114 in the first ODI.

While Bangladesh are unchanged, Pakistan have brought back Haris Rauf in the side after losing the first game by eight wickets earlier this week. Pakistan’s defeat in the first ODI had earned them copious brickbats back home in what was an extension of the fury directed at the team for crashing out in the Super 8 stage at the T20 World Cup.

Bangladesh are looking to wrap up the ODI series with another win today, while Pakistan will want to show that they are made of sterner stuff than it came across in the first game where they were bowled out for 114, their lowest total batting first against Bangladesh. With the ODI World Cup coming up, Pakistan are trying to find players who can shore up their side and had fielded four debutant batters (Sahibzada Farhan, Maaz Sadaqat, Shamyl Hussain and Abdul Samad) in the first ODI.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 2nd ODI, LIVE Cricket Score: Najmul Hossain Shanto falls

Afridi got rid of Shanto here. It was a delivery on the middle and off-stump and kept a tad bit low, and the ball skidded onto the stumps. The Pakistan attack is breathing fire here. Bangladesh needs a partnership. It is not a massive target they are chasing, they need a bit of smart cricket to get these runs.

Salman Ali Agha is run out and this will be a talking point for many months after this game!

Miraz bowls the fourth ball of the 39th over to Rizwan, who defends the ball. The ball rolls towards Salman Ali Agha at the non-striker's end. He's out of his crease. And Miraz runs to the ball which Agha stops. before Agha can stoop down and pick up the ball, Miraz picks the ball and throws it at the stumps!

Agha was trying to help the bowler there by picking the ball up and handing it back when Miraz got there first, picked up the ball and threw it at the stumps.

And Agha is furious! He lets out some words of anger at the Bangladesh bowler as he walks back. Hs flings his helmet and his gloves just as he crosses the ropes.

You could see how angry Agha was at the decision of the Bangladesh players to stand their ground and appeal for the wicket. They are within their right to ask for Agha to be dismissed. But as Ramiz Raja says on commentary, "not sure this is within spirit of the game."

Salman Agha run out (Mehidy Hasan Miraz) 64 (62b 7x4 2x6) SR: 103.22

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 2nd ODI Live: Agha cutting loose

So over the past two overs, Agha has been irked a little by Bangladesh pacers trying short balls at him. and both the shirt-pitched balls, he felt, should have been given as wides. But when Taskin overpitches the next two balls, Agha flicks the ball off his pads for a six over deep backward square led and then thumps the ball over the mid off fielder for a four. 10 runs in 2 balls. And then Rizwan plunder the final ball of the over for a four as well to edge closer to his half century.

15 runs off the 38 over. Pakistan are 230/3 after 38 overs.

Rishad Hossain comes in from the other end as Bangladesh hope to break this partnership that's worth 41 now. This is a big partnership for Pakistan.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 2nd ODI Live: Hossain brought in

With Pakistan batters looking like they are in for the long haul, Bangladesh bring in part-timer Afif Hossain. He is the sixth bowler to be used today.

And he looks like he's doing well after five balls, but the final ball sees Rizwan rick back on his backfoot and hit the ball through the covers for a four. The Bangladesh fielder Tamin could have done more to stop the ball. His diver was mid-timed.

Partnership of 41 off 51 balls now. After 28, Pakistan are 163/3

Mar 13, 2026 04:00 PM IST
Pakistan vs Bangladesh 2nd ODI Live: Salman Ali Agha taking on attacking duties

Mar 13, 2026 03:52 PM IST
Pakistan vs Bangladesh 2nd ODI Live: Rishad posing questions

But on the final ball, the ball comes nicely as Agha opens his body and hits the ball into the advertising boards for a six!

At the halfway mark, Pakistan are 147/3

Mar 13, 2026 03:48 PM IST
Pakistan vs Bangladesh 2nd ODI Live: Loud appeal

Loud shout for LBW on the final ball, but the keeper is not interested in the appeal of his bowler against Mohd Rizwan. So Bangladesh don't end up appealing. The ball seemed to hit the top of the pads. The ball looked like it would have missed the stumps because the short Rizwan was off the ground and in mid-hop when the ball hit the pads.

After 24 overs, Pakistan are 139/3

Mar 13, 2026 03:46 PM IST
Pakistan vs Bangladesh 2nd ODI Live: Slowdown still on

Pakistan have staggered their way to 132/3 after 23 overs. Rizwan is yet to find his batting range, and has taken 17 balls for his six runs today. Pakistan's T20 captain Salman Ali Agha is the newcomer to the crease and is on five from eight balls.

Pakistan need this pair to stay in the middle till the final 10 overs at least.

Pakistan's run rate before they lost their first wicket was 8.02. Their run rate since they lost their first wicket for 103, their run rate has been 3.29.

Another short delivery in this innings from Nahid Rana gets a wicket for Bangladesh! This time it's Shamyl Hussain who tries to hit the rising ball and ends up top edging the ball to the fielder at the boundary at third man.

It's a similar shot he played in the first ODI to get dismissed! Shamyl Hussain managed to score just 6 runs off 22 balls today!

Pakistan are 122/3. They were 103/0 at one stage!

Mar 13, 2026 03:25 PM IST
Pakistan vs Bangladesh 2nd ODI Live: Maiden

So right after losing their second wicket, Pakistan batters are now on the ropes as newcomer to the middle Mohd Rizwan and youngster Shamyl Hussain look to prevent a repeat of the first ODI!

And Bangladesh hand the ball to Nahid Rana again. He was expensive in the first spell, giving 20 runs in an over.

Mar 13, 2026 03:18 PM IST
Pakistan vs Bangladesh 2nd ODI Live: GONE!

Another wicket falls as Sahibzada Farhan throws away his wicket with a loose shot by swinging his bat after making room. The ball meets the end of bat and flies to the fielder at third man.

Farhan's innings ends at 31 off 45 balls.

After 17.4 overs, Pakistan are 121/2

The pressure was building up after Sadaqat's wicket! When Farhan threw away his wicket, Pakistan had gone 44 balls without hitting a four or a six.

Mar 13, 2026 03:11 PM IST
Pakistan vs Bangladesh 2nd ODI Live: Boundaries dry up

So Pakistan look like they are just going to play out the middle overs after the field opens up at the end of powerplay and with top scorer Maaz Sadaqat threw away his wicket with a reckless looking shot. Almost looked like Maaz was playing on a different pitch than the other two Pakistan batters

Pakistan are 116/1 after 16 overs

Mar 13, 2026 03:03 PM IST
Pakistan vs Bangladesh 2nd ODI Live: Slowdown after Maaz departs

Mar 13, 2026 02:55 PM IST
Pakistan vs Bangladesh 2nd ODI Live: Sadaqat departs!

Miraz is back into the attack after being given just one over earlier. And he responds by getting the wicket of Maaz Sadaqat .

After the innings of a lifetime, Sadaqat tries to scoop the ball and ends up offering an embarassing catch when the ball comes off the toe of his bat! Liton Das has the easiest of takes!

Sadaqat's watch ends on 75 runs off 46 balls as Pakistan lose their first wicket for 103!

Mar 13, 2026 02:49 PM IST
Pakistan vs Bangladesh 2nd ODI Live: Fans streaming in

As Maaz Sadaqat continues his assault on Bangladesh bowling, the broadcasters are showing scenes of plenty of supporters coming in after Friday prayers in Mirpur.

Those fans are going to be mighty disappointed if they see the scoreboard. In the previous game, Pakistan were bundled up for 114. Today, they have not lost a single wicket as they approach 100-run mark.

After 12 overs, Pakistan are 99/0

Of this, Sadaqat has scored 74 off 43 balls while Farhan is on 18 from 30 balls.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 2nd ODI Live: Fizz back

Mustafizur is back into the attack for his fourth over. And Sadaqat starts off from where he left in the previous over: he slaps the first ball to the ropes!

Seven runs off the final over of the powerplay.

Pakistan are 85/0 after 10 overs.

Mar 13, 2026 02:33 PM IST
Pakistan vs Bangladesh 2nd ODI Live: 50 for Sadaqat

A half century off just 31 balls from Sadaqat! He gets to the milestone in his second ODI with a boundary against Nahid Rana, who was last ODI's tormentor-in-chief for Pakistan.

Sadaqat is batting on a 164 strike rate.

And on the next ball after getting to his 50, Rana tries to bounce the youngster, who slashes at the ball and it flies over the keeper for a six!

The over ends with a wide that flies to the ropes and then another boundary, this time from the blade of Farhan.

A 20-run over from Nahid Rana!

After 9 overs, Pakistan are 78/0

Mar 13, 2026 02:29 PM IST
Pakistan vs Bangladesh 2nd ODI Live: Another loud shout

After that loud LBW shout (which was given but reversed by the third umpire), this time it's a shout for a catch behind off Taskin's bowling against the newcomer Sadaqat. And the third umpire rejects the appeal after finding no edge.

Taskin bowls four dot balls in the 8th over, before Sadaqat launches the fifth ball over the wide long on ropes for a 81-metre six!

After 8 overs, Pakistan are 58/0

Mar 13, 2026 02:25 PM IST
Pakistan vs Bangladesh 2nd ODI Live: 50 up for Pakistan

So Pakistan's opening pair have put on a 50-run partnership here at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur. And what's remarkable is that off those 51 runs, Sadaqat has scored 41 runs while Farhan has scored just 9 runs!

Mar 13, 2026 02:19 PM IST
Pakistan vs Bangladesh 2nd ODI Live: GONE? NOPE!

Nahid Rana traps Sahibzada Farhan LBW and the umpire raises his finger. Farhan appeals this. Impact in line, but missing wickets. Farhan survives!

But once again, like Ramiz Raja had pointed out earlier, Farhan's little hops when facing the rising ball, have done him no favours.

Mar 13, 2026 02:16 PM IST
Pakistan vs Bangladesh 2nd ODI Live:

A quiet over for Pakistan, by which we mean Maaz Sadaqat did not manage to hit a four or a six in that over.

After six overs, Pak are 49/0. 40 of those runs have come from the blade of Sadaqat in just 22 balls, playing in his second ODI for Pakistan. The elder stateman, Sahibzada Farhan, is on 8 from 15.

Mar 13, 2026 02:10 PM IST
Pakistan vs Bangladesh 2nd ODI Live: Sadaqat keeps ticking

27 runs for Maaz Sadaqat in just 12 balls as the fourth over ends. He's playing in only his second ODI, but playing so well here.

And as Bangladesh call in last game's match winner, Nahid Rana, Sadaqat decides to tonk the fourth ball with a 97 metre six straight past the pacer!

If Pakistan need to jump back from their capitulation from the previous game, this is the way to do it.

After five overs, Pakistan are 45/0

Mar 13, 2026 02:01 PM IST
Pakistan vs Bangladesh 2nd ODI Live: On Sahibzada Farhan's technique

Ramiz Raja is not a big fan of Sahibzada Farhan hopping around to hit rising balls. Both his feet leave the ground while he plays that shot to rising balls. The first time Farhan tried it in the first over, he almost slipped. The second time he did it in the second over, he got hit on the gloves. And the third time, Farhan pushed the ball for a single, but Raza made the point that he didn't need to hop since that was a regular delivery and not a bouncer.

Mar 13, 2026 02:01 PM IST
Pakistan vs Bangladesh 2nd ODI Live: Sadaqat going all guns blazing

Sadaqat is going all guns blazing here. He tonks a ball from Taskin's second over for a 65m six, and it's a no ball, so we will have a free hit. Sadaqat cannot capitalise on the free hit. But he does hit the final ball for another six over midwicket.

16 RUNS IN THAT THIRD OVER | After three overs, Pakistan are 30/0

Mar 13, 2026 01:55 PM IST
Pakistan vs Bangladesh 2nd ODI Live: Fizz is in

Mustafizur is handed the ball, and he gives width on the first ball, and Sadaqat creams the ball through the covers. The second ball is slightly fuller, but again gives width. Once again driven to the ropes.

A good start for Pakistan, thanks to Maaz Sadaqat. Pakistan's Ramiz Raja, on commentary, says that maybe Bangladesh could have started with Nahid Rana since he destroyed the Pakistan batting in the first ODI.

After two overs, Pakistan are 14/0

Mar 13, 2026 01:50 PM IST
Pakistan vs Bangladesh 2nd ODI Live: Sedate start

After four dot balls, Taskin strays on the pads, and Farhan flicks it to the boundaries. The first runs for Pakistan today! And on the final ball, Farhan does a little hope to negotiate the rising ball and ends up slipping and losing his balance.

After one over, Pakistan are 4/0

Mar 13, 2026 01:46 PM IST
Pakistan vs Bangladesh 2nd ODI Live: Here we go!

Pakistan's Sahibzada Farhan and Maaz Sadaqat are out in the middle to start the game. Bangladesh have handed the ball to Taskin Ahmed.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 2nd ODI Live: Pitch report

Former Bangladesh Athar Ali Khan, doing the pitch report at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, nites, "First thing that caught my eye is the amount of grass left back on the pitch. It's a good wicket to bat on. Bounce will be even, the ball will come nicely to the bat. Once batters get set, they will enjoy batting here."

He also pointed out that seven of the nine wickets that pacers took in the first game fell to shorter deliveries.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 2nd ODI Live: Too many debuts

"It's a good in a way that you are introducing fresh blood. Sample size of what we have seen of all the players that they have handed the debuts is too little to judge," says Ramiz Raza about Pakistan handed debuts to 20 players since 2023 in ODIs.

Mar 13, 2026 01:17 PM IST
Pakistan vs Bangladesh 2nd ODI Live: TOSS UPDATE

Bangladesh have won the toss for the second ODI and understandably have opted to bowl first.

Ramiz Raza on what Pakistan need to do today in what will be a do-or-die game. "The body language, shot selection, how to play pace... they were pretty jittery facing short balls. They also should not to be so defensive against off spin," said the Pakistan legend

Mar 13, 2026 01:12 PM IST

Should Pakistan have thrown in four debutants in one single game?

"You introduce one or two at a time," Basit Ali said. "You don't throw in four at once.”

Mar 13, 2026 01:02 PM IST
Pakistan vs Bangladesh 2nd ODI Live: Basit Ali slams Pakistan

Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali said Pakistan's eight-wicket defeat to Bangladesh in the first ODI exposed a broader problem. "This debate that youngsters need time — let's end it. In world cricket, when a youngster comes in, he comes ready. He makes an impact. Our players need to understand this is not a local club ground. This is an international Test venue.”

Basit said two senior middle-order batters who had spoken publicly about their own abilities had failed when it mattered. 'Two of them keep saying they are the best middle-order batters. You saw what they did today.'"

There was plenty of anger in Pakistan after their defeat to Bangladesh in the first ODI.

Former Pakistan wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal said he was left embarrassed by the performance.

“I swear to God, batting like this doesn’t even happen in club cricket. Club cricketers don’t play this badly,” he said before adding: “It felt like one team was international and the other was a club side playing a practice match before a World Cup. I called Basit (Ali) and couldn’t find words to describe what kind of cricket we were playing.”

‘Shoot the man who gave that gameplan’ — Pakistan bowled out for 114, Bangladesh win by 8 wickets in 15 overs

Bangladesh beat Pakistan by eight wickets in the first ODI, bowling out the visitors for 114 in 30.4 overs before chasing the target in just 15 overs.

Basit Ali did not spare the team management. “First, shoot the man who told them to score a minimum of 60 runs in the ten powerplay overs,” he said. “He never played cricket on a ground. He just hands over a piece of paper. Did he not see what conditions are like here? Did he not know that even India have lost in Bangladesh?”

Former Pakistan wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal said he was left embarrassed by the performance. “It felt like one team was international and the other was a club side playing a practice match before a World Cup,” he said. “I called Basit and couldn’t find words to describe what kind of cricket we were playing.”

He did not stop there. “I swear to God, batting like this doesn’t even happen in club cricket. Club cricketers don’t play this badly.”
