It's nice to see Pakistan and Bangladesh playing against each other. The two teams were used to losing so much that it was difficult to decide which of them is worst. This tour of Bangladesh in Pakistan would surely give an answer. I'd also vote for the losing team to play with zimbabwe next so we would have a clearer picture.
As of the game, Pakistan had a bad start. Lost their two wickets at 5 runs. Mohamad Haris and Salman Agha were increasing the run rate with a nice partnership and they suddenly lost Mohamad Haris. Now Hasan Nawaz too seem to continue the increase in pace of scoring.
Being at 97/3 is not bad at the end of 10 overs. It could easily get them to 200+ if they are able to hold their wickets. 200+ would be a difficult target for Bangladesh to chase.

Well, despite the bad start, the Pakistan team were able to score 201 runs in the first innings. The middle order batted well and the captain Salman Agha batted like the captain and score the highest 56 runs. Shadab Khan and Hasan Nawaz made a quick 48 and 44 runs respectively and it was due to these two innings that Pakistan piled up score at the end of the innings. Shadab Khan hit two sixes and five fours but unfortunately missed his half century by two runs. I think the Pakistan bowlers are capable enough to defend this score.
