Lahore (Web Desk): Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha won the toss and chose to bat first in the second T20 International of the three-match series against Bangladesh, being played at Lahore's iconic Gaddafi Stadium on Friday.
The home side is riding high after a commanding performance in the series opener, where Agha scored a half-century and Hasan Ali delivered a brilliant five-wicket haul. Pakistan secured a convincing 37-run victory in that match.
In pursuit of a challenging 202-run target, Bangladesh struggled to keep up the pace and were dismissed for 164 in 19.2 overs.
