How the Final Unfolded – A Rollercoaster Ride
Bangladesh A won the toss and chose to bowl first – a decision that paid off instantly when Yasir Khan was run out off the very first ball! Pakistan never recovered from early blows and kept losing wickets regularly.
Saad Masood fought hard with a gritty 38 off 26 balls (3 sixes), but Ripon Mondol’s sensational death bowling changed everything. In the 19th over, Mondol picked up 3 wickets in 4 balls – including two perfect yorkers – to restrict Pakistan to just 125.
Saad Masood bowled, Shahid Aziz lbw, Ubaid Shah cleaned up – pure carnage!
Chasing 126, Bangladesh A started explosively with Habibur Rahman Sohan smashing 26 off 17 (2 sixes), but Pakistan’s spinners turned the game on its head.
Sufiyan Muqeem (4-0-11-3) and Ahmed Daniyal (4-0-11-2) bowled the spells of their lives, reducing Bangladesh to 53/7! Rakibul Hasan (24) and a late cameo from Abdul Gaffar Saqlain (16*) and Ripon Mondol (11*) dragged the game into the final over.
With 8 needed off the last 6 balls, Bangladesh scrambled to tie the match – setting up a historic Super Over!
