It was not a cruise for Pakistan as they had to fight to win. The Babar Azam-led side managed to win the match by four wickets. Chasing 128 to win, Pakistan made a meal of their run chase.

After the game, Babar admitted that the wicket was not conducive for batters while he went on to hail his bowlers.

"Wicket was a little difficult. Credit to the middle order, the way they showed the skills. Fakhar, Khushdil, the way Nawaz finished. Gave away 15-20 more runs. But this is cricket, happens in T20. Credit to the bowlers the way they bowled," Babar said at the post-match presentation.

Brief scores: Bangladesh 127/7 in 20 overs (Afif Hossain 36, Mahedi Hasan 30*; Hasan Ali 3-22, Mohammad Wasim Jr 2-24) lost to Pakistan 132/6 in 19.2 overs (Fakahr Zaman 34, Khushdil shah 34; Taskin Ahmed 2-31) by 4 wickets
