Pakistan vs Bangladesh: The ODI series between Pakistan and Bangladesh started with the first match played in Mirpur. This series is important for the Pakistan team, which was eliminated from the Super-8 of T20 World Cup 2026. But the way it has started, it does not seem that the pulse is going to melt here too. The 6 feet 3 inches tall 23 year old Bangladeshi bowler Nahid Rana has wreaked havoc on the Pakistan team who came to bat first in the Mirpur ODI. Nahid Rana, who dismissed half of the Pakistan team in just 29 balls, is currently the tallest cricketer of Bangladesh.
Pakistan lost 2 wickets in the first 9 balls.
Nahid Rana started his bowling in the 10th over of Pakistan’s innings in the first ODI. He made his first victim in the form of Sahibzada Farhan on the last ball of his very first over. That means he took 1 wicket in the first 6 balls. After this, he took the second wicket of Shamil Hussain on the third ball of his second over. Now he had 2 wickets in 9 balls. But the sequence did not stop here.
Nahid Rana wiped out half of Pakistan’s team in just 29 balls.
When Nahid Rana came to bowl his third over, Pakistan’s second opener Maaz Sadaqat was dismissed on his fourth ball. Meaning he took the third wicket on the 16th ball. He also dismissed the experienced Mohammad Rizwan on the 5th ball of his fourth over. In this way he got 4 wickets in 23 balls. Nahid Rana took his 5th victim on the 5th ball of his 5th over. This time he dismissed Salman Agha. In this way, he alone took 5 out of 10 wickets of Pakistan in just 29 balls.
