Pakistan were advancing towards victory against Bangladesh in a match that would send the winner into the final, according to live commentary supplied by India Today. At 3.6 overs, Bangladesh fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman dismissed Pakistan batter Saim Ayub. The delivery was described as slower and directed around off stump.
Ayub attempted to hit across the line but failed to clear deep mid-wicket. Tanzid Hasan took the catch without having to move, ending what the commentary called a useful cameo from Ayub. Pakistan were 383 for six at the fall of the wicket and required 74 runs from 54 balls.
