During that encounter, Shaheen Afridi and Mohammad Waseem played pivotal roles, each securing three wickets to limit Bangladesh to a first-innings total of 204 runs. Pakistan successfully chased down this target in 45.1 overs.
In their most recent outing, Sri Lanka encountered a decisive defeat against India. India set a commanding total of 357 runs while batting first. Sri Lanka’s pursuit was cut short as they were bowled out for a meagre 55 runs.
