Bangladesh Post 196 After Record Opening Stand in Final T20I Against Pakistan

Bangladesh set a daunting 197-run target for Pakistan in the third and final T20I at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium, fueled by a record 110-run opening partnership between Tanzid Hasan Tamim and Parvez Hossain Emon. Emon smashed a 34-ball 66, while Tanzid added 42 off 26. Despite a late collapse, Bangladesh reached 196/8, their highest T20I total against Pakistan. With the series already lost, the visitors now aim for a face-saving win, banking on their bowling attack to defend the total and avoid a whitewash.
