Pakistan’s Hasan Ali claims 5-30 as Bangladesh beaten by 37 runs

Pakistan secured a thrilling 37-run victory over Bangladesh in the first T20 international at Lahore, thanks to Hasan Ali's dominant bowling and a decisive batting collapse by Bangladesh. The hosts relied heavily on Hasan Nawaz (44) and Salman Agha for their fightback but couldn't overcome the clinical bowling of Shadab Khan and his partnership with Litton Das (63). Hasan Ali returned from injury to claim five vital wickets, overshadowing his skipper's impressive 56 runs. Both teams are now focused on refining their performances ahead of their next match in the series scheduled for Friday and Sunday.
