Bangladesh’s poor run of form continued as they failed to put up a fight in the third T20I, suffering a seven-wicket defeat to Pakistan, who sealed a 3-0 series whitewash.
This marks five consecutive defeats for Bangladesh, following their losses in the UAE and now in Pakistan.
Even with a strong total of 196 on the board, Litton Das’s side never really looked in control. Pakistan chased the target down with ease, thanks to a stunning century from Mohammad Haris, sealing the win with 16 balls to spare.
Coming in at number three, Haris smashed a blistering 107 off just 46 balls, laced with 8 fours and 7 sixes. It was not only his first fifty in 17 matches, but he went all the way to three figures in style. Opener Saim Ayub supported well with 45 from 29 balls.

Despite posting their highest total of the series, Bangladesh’s bowling lacked bite, and the hosts capitalized clinically — led by a record-breaking knock from Haris that left the visitors with no answers.
