~snip~ This may be due to new ground and pitch Pakistan couldn't understand the bowling style or maybe an audience pressure. ~

Pakistan has lost the first match for the irresponsibility of their batsmen. They were still trying to play in the aggressive mode despite losing their first two to three wickets early. Their batsmen also messed up and got run out. The bowlers were doing good for them, but some catch drops and bad fielding helped Bangladesh to win the match easily. Either the openers or the middle order batsmen of Bangladesh has done well in the recent matches. Their whole batting line-up isn't collapsing like it used to be in the past.

Agree. Bowling friendly pitch is not the reason why Pakistan lost. Pakistan lost because of their batsmen's stupidity. Experienced batsmen like Fakhar Zaman and Mohammad Nawaz were run out. I don't know why Pakistani batsmen were in such a hurry after losing wickets so quickly. They should have performed carefully. But Bangladeshi bowlers bowled very controlled, it is true. That is why Pakistani players were under full pressure. Especially Mustafiz gave only 6 runs in 4 overs, and took two wickets.

Pakistan will have to be more careful in the second match. Pitch is bowling friendly. However, it is not possible to win by giving a target of 100/120 runs. At least 150+ should be collected on this pitch. The second match will be played tomorrow. If Pakistani batsmen bat like such stupidity again, they will lose again.
