Tigers aim to level T20I series against Pakistan today

Despite a slump in form, Bangladesh are confident to comeback strongly as they take on Pakistan in the second T20 International at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore tomorrow (Friday).

The match which starts at 9 PM will be aired live on T Sports, reports BSS.

The second game is important for Bangladesh to stay alive in the three-match series following their 37-run defeat to the hosts in the match.

Bangladesh vowed to rectify all mistakes to come back strongly against Pakistan after their shocking 2-1 loss to United Arab Emirates (UAE) earlier this month, but they appeared clueless in all three departments.

Despite giving Pakistan an early jolt, the Bangladesh bowlers failed to keep up the pressure and allowed the opponents to post 201-7, a target which was chaseable but their mindless batting show continued as they were wrapped up for 164 in 19.2 overs.

Pacer Hasan Ali wreaked havoc on them on batting paradise, claiming his career-best 5-30.

How they surrendered yet again didn't give any hope that they could turn things around.

But skipper Liton Das stayed upbeat.

"All over the game, we didn't bowl well, bat well and field well. I'm not saying anything about... But we have to come back strongly. We have two games still," Liton said after the match.
