"Haris storm blew away Tigers' mountain of runs, Bangladesh returned with a whitewash!"


Published: 01:15 2 June 2025
It was a wonderful night for cricket fans. The scoreboard was shining with 196 runs of Bangladesh team. With the bat of Parvez Emon and Tanjid Hasan, it seemed that this time the Tigers would return with a consolation win in the series. But who knew, the whole scenario would change with one innings of Mohammad Haris!
Bangladesh entered the batting after losing the toss in the third and final T20I of the series at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Emon and Tanjid were in great rhythm from the beginning. Emon played a sparkling innings of 66 runs off 34 balls and Tanjid played 42 runs off 32 balls. In addition, Hridoy 25 and Liton Das increased the team's collection by 22 runs. In the end, the Tigers made a fighting capital of 196 runs for 6 wickets in 20 overs. Hasan Ali and Abbas Afridi took 2 wickets each for Pakistan.
Pakistan, batting at a huge target of 197 runs, suffered a setback early on. Mehidy Hasan dismissed Sahibzada Farhan in the first over to the spin of Miraz. For a moment, it seemed that the Tigers had the upper hand in the match. But that hope did not last long. Saim Ayub and Mohammad Haris put on a devastating 92-run partnership.
Although Ayub played an effective innings of 45 runs off 29 balls, Haris was unstoppable at that time. He scored a magnificent century in just 45 balls. In the end, he gave an incredible innings of 107 runs not out off 46 balls, which included 8 fours and 7 sixes. Mohammad Nawaz, who was dismissed, also played a stormy innings of 26 runs off 13 balls. At the end of the match, captain Salman Agha remained unbeaten on 15 runs off 12 balls.
Among the Bangladesh bowlers, Miraz took 2 wickets, but the rest of the bowlers were completely pale. They almost surrendered in front of Haris's onslaught. In the end, Pakistan won the match by 7 wickets with 16 balls remaining and ensured a whitewash in the series.
Bangladesh lost the series shamefully by 3-0. Mohammad Haris' batting alone seemed to fade all the efforts of the Tigers. This was a dramatic and painful defeat, which the cricket world will remember for a long time.
