Another Learn for Pakistan in 3rd ODI at Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka as Bangladesh Seal ODI Series 2-1

“Ya to win hota hai ya learn.” — a line often used by Pakistan former captain Mohammad Rizwan. But on March 15, 2026, Pakistan were forced to accept another painful lesson as Bangladesh defeated them by 11 runs to win the ODI series 2-1.

Bangladesh Innings – 290/5

Bangladesh posted a competitive total of 290 thanks to a sensational maiden ODI century by Tanzid Hasan Tamim. The young opener scored 107 off 107 balls and smashed seven huge sixes to dominate Pakistan’s bowling attack.

Saif Hassan scored 36 while Litton Das added 41. Towhid Hridoy remained unbeaten on 48 to push Bangladesh close to the 300 mark.
