In a remarkable start to the ODI series, Bangladesh defeated Pakistan by eight wickets in the first match held at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur on March 11, 2026. Pakistan was bowled out for just 114 runs, marking their lowest total against Bangladesh in ODI history.

Bangladesh’s Nahid Rana was the standout performer, taking five wickets for just 24 runs, becoming the first Bangladeshi bowler to dismiss the top five batters of the opposition in an ODI innings. Rana’s impressive performance came in his sixth ODI match, having taken only five wickets in his first five appearances.

Tanzid Hasan also played a crucial role in the victory, scoring an unbeaten 67 runs off 42 balls, guiding Bangladesh to a comfortable win. The match saw Pakistan field four debutant batters, which may have contributed to their struggle against a disciplined Bangladeshi bowling attack.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz supported Rana well, taking three wickets for 29 runs. Pakistan’s innings lasted just 30.4 overs, highlighting the effectiveness of Bangladesh’s bowling strategy.

This match was part of a three-match ODI series, and with this victory, Bangladesh leads the series 1-0. The previous lowest total for Pakistan against Bangladesh was 161 runs, set during the 1999 World Cup.

As the series progresses, the second ODI is scheduled for March 13, 2026. Observers are keen to see how Pakistan will respond after this disappointing performance, and whether they can bounce back in the upcoming match.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding any potential changes to the Pakistan lineup as they prepare for the next encounter. The performance of debutants will also be under scrutiny as they seek to improve their standing in the series.
