Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: PAK 211/7 vs BAN after 40 overs

Taskin has gotten rid of Faheem here. He was looking to build a partnership, but yet again he chopped one onto the stumps. He tends to hit the hard lengths again and again, and that is what has reaped the rewards. Just when it seemed like Pakistan was getting something going again, Bangladesh has managed to claw back.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: PAK 202/6 vs BAN after 37.5 overs

Salman has gone past the half-century mark here. This is a brilliant knock. He came when the pressure was on Pakistan, but he managed a nice partnership to start with Masood, and now trying to do the same with Faheem. The deeper this game goes, the pressure will equally start to mount on Bangladesh too due to the dew that is forming on the outfield.

Mar 15, 2026 08:57 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: PAK 181/6 vs BAN after 35.2 overs

Salman Agha is turning into a modern Misbah-like figure for Pakistan with the bat, however, without much success at this point. This game still can be pulled off from this point if Agha bats till the end, but the batters at the other end also need to support him well enough.

Mar 15, 2026 08:47 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: PAK 170/6 vs BAN after 33.1 overs

It seems like we have jinxed here. Masood was batting pretty well, and runs were coming pretty smoothly, but did seem like a bit of a rush of blood from the youngster when he tried to whack Mustafizur into the stands and lost his stumps. Pakistan is back to square one here. Once again, Pakistan needs to build a partnership here.

Mar 15, 2026 08:37 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: PAK 161/5 vs BAN after 31.1 overs

Well, well, the game is turning here. It has happened at a pretty steady pace, but slowly Bangladesh is getting a little nervy altough it is only a matter of a wicket to create the doubts again in Pakistan in this chase. Both batters are looking set, and the pitch under the lights is looking terrific for batting in the middle.

Mar 15, 2026 08:27 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: PAK 146/5 vs BAN after 29.5 overs

Bangladesh has gotten itself into quite a tricky situation here. They have started well, but it seems like batting is getting easier and easier on this wicket. This is where the flaws in Bangladesh's attack come about, which is that they don't have a pretty good sixth bowling option at their disposal.

Mar 15, 2026 08:17 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: PAK 132/5 vs BAN after 26.4 overs

This is another nice partnership brewing between Agha and Masood. Agha has shown in the past that he can score runs in these difficult situations; however, the pressures today are quite high with a series on the line. The run rate too is spiking quite rapidly for Pakistan to chase; that is the pitfall of losing too many early wickets.

Mar 15, 2026 08:08 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: PAK 122/5 vs BAN after 24.2 overs

This is a pretty interesting passage in the game now. Miraz, through that innings, kept rotating his seamers from one end and held back Hossain. The leg-spinner has now come into the attack and has been taken a bit to the cleaners. So the wicket seems to be getting a bit better for batting increasingly.

Mar 15, 2026 07:56 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: PAK 103/5 vs BAN after 21.2 overs

Captaincy has been top-notch from Miraz here. He made the bowling changes beautifully, and the subtle changes of ends and field placements tactically have taken Pakistan by surprise here. Pakistan has gotten to 100 here, but it is hard to see how they are going to get anything out of this game.

Mar 15, 2026 07:46 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: PAK 88/5 vs BAN after 18.4 overs

Mustafizur has come into the attack for his second spell and picked up the wicket of Samad, who is the other set batter. The ball went away, and Samad flapped his bat at the delivery. It was a classic Mustafizur special. Pakistan has lost half its batting lineup here. They are falling way behind in this game.

Mar 15, 2026 07:37 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: PAK 76/4 vs BAN after 16.4 overs

Bangladesh continues to dominate in their defence here. Just when the partnership between Ghori and Samad was building, they got the breakthrough at the right time. Salman Agha has walked into the middle. He is a capable batter and needs to build a partnership with Samad.

Mar 15, 2026 07:28 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: PAK 67/4 vs BAN after 14 overs

Nahid Rana breaks the partnership here. Ghazi Ghori is the wicket that has fallen. It was a good length delivery, which the batter tried to guide towards the third man, who got the inside edge onto the stumps. It was a pretty good partnership that needed to go on for longer, but Bangladesh's pacers have done the trick here yet again.

Mar 15, 2026 07:17 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: PAK 58/3 vs BAN after 12 overs

Bangladesh continues to attack with the pace here, and still no signs of spin here. Off-spinner Mehidy is the finger spin option, and Rishan Hoosain is the leg-spin option. With two right-handers in the middle, it is unlikely Mehidy will come into the attack, and we might see a wrist spinner be the first spin option used.

Mar 15, 2026 07:07 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: PAK 43/3 vs BAN after 9.5 overs

Both Ghori and Samad have played pretty nicely here. They have handled the pressure pretty well and given themselves time. The important thing from here on is they continue to build this foundation till the 20th to 25th over mark and take it from there. As it is a big chase given the surface, they need to take it as deep as possible.

Mar 15, 2026 06:57 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: PAK 41/3 vs BAN after 7.5 overs

Good captaincy this from Mehidy, he gave the new ball to Nahid, who picked up the wicket, but started to spray a few around and immediately, without any hesitation, Mehidy has reverted to Mustafizur, who is an experienced bowler. We might see Nahid come into the attack from Taskin's end once this power play is done.

Mar 15, 2026 06:46 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: PAK 36/3 vs BAN after 5.2 overs

Nahid Rana has given away a few boundaries here. After starting well, Rana looked to pitch the ball shorter, hoping Pakistan batters would make a mistake. However, since the wicket does not have much pace inherently, the deliveries sat up nicely, letting the batters get easy runs.

Mar 15, 2026 06:37 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: PAK 23/3 vs BAN after 3.1 overs

Pakistan has lost two more wickets here. First, it was Nahid Rana who hurried Sadaqat, who gloved the bumper to the keeper, and then Rizwan came into the middle and, after facing a couple of deliveries, he was done by the ball which came back into him, and the Pakistani batter lost his off-stump.

Mar 15, 2026 06:27 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: PAK 12/1 vs BAN after 1.4 overs

Taskin has picked up the first wicket here, and it is Farhan the batter who has fallen. He had the trigger moment, did the batter, and tried to charge down, but the ball took off, and it took the outside edge to the keeper. Bangladesh has started its defence on the right note here, picking up the early wicket.

Mar 15, 2026 06:22 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: Welcome back!

It is going to be an interesting chase from Pakistan. Obviously, the most important thing for them here is to start well. They will need a big ton from one of the top three, similar to what Tanzid has done for Bangladesh. As per the hosts themselves, they will have a moment to work with and need to make the most out of it.

Mar 15, 2026 05:56 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: Teams

Pakistan (Playing XI): Sahibzada Farhan, Maaz Sadaqat, Ghazi Ghori, Mohammad Rizwan(w), Salman Agha, Abdul Samad, Faheem Ashraf, Saad Masood, Shaheen Afridi(c), Haris Rauf, Abrar Ahmed

Mar 15, 2026 05:40 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: BAN 290/5 vs PAK in Dhaka

That is a big total Bangladesh has posted. As they say, you pick your battles.. Shaheen decided to bowl first in the hope of rain, but Bangladesh, on a decent batting wicket, has posted a winnable total, and with clouds, there won't be a lot of dew. Pakistan needs to play out of their skin to get these runs. Do stay with us, we will be back with the chase.

Mar 15, 2026 05:30 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: BAN 278/5 after 47.1 overs vs PAK

Regardless of Rauf's spell, Pakistan has conceded a score here, and Bangladesh has given them the best possible chance to win the series here. They have got a decent bowling unit, and if the dew does not form, they have Mustafizur, who can exploit the slower conditions later. It is going to be a tricky chance.

Mar 15, 2026 05:21 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: BAN 262/5 after 46.4 overs vs PAK

Haris Rauf has picked up his second wicket. It was a slower ball but was in the slot for Litton to hit, but he could not get anywhere near the middle and ended up giving the catch to the square-leg fielder. After the new ball burst as the ball got older, Rauf has been stunning today, and as we update, Rauf has picked up another wicket of Rishad Hossain.

Mar 15, 2026 05:10 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: BAN 255/3 after 45.3 overs vs PAK

It does seem pretty straightforward from here on for Pakistan. Their final four overs will be from Shaheen and Haris unless the skipper decides to bring in Faheem. The way Masood, the other wrist spinner, bowled it does seem like the skipper has missed a slight trick by not using Faheem more. This wicket would have suited him.

Mar 15, 2026 05:00 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: BAN 238/3 after 43.5 overs vs PAK

This partnership between Hrdioy and Litton is racing away. Pakistan, understandably, with five fielders out and a softer ball, is using spinners, but it might not be a bad ploy to bring in Faheem Ashraf for a couple of overs to try and enforce wickets. He is cutters with this old ball might come quite handy for the visitors.

Mar 15, 2026 04:50 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: BAN 218/3 after 41 overs vs PAK

Since comig in Towhid Hridoy has played quite proactively and that is what is the need of the hour for Bangladesh. They have laid a solid platform to score 300, and with the set batter gone, they will need Litton and Towhid Hridoy to play these final overs quite smartly. Smart in the sense that they pick their bowlers and attack.

Mar 15, 2026 04:40 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: BAN 207/3 after 38.3 overs vs PAK

Abrar Ahmed has got rid of Tanzid, who was a soft dismissal. It was a dragged down delivery from the wrist spinner asking to be hit, but Tanzid, it did seem like a bit of a tired shot, ended up giving the catch straight to the cover fielder. Towid Hridoy is the new man in. It is not an easy wicket for the batters to start on.

Mar 15, 2026 04:30 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: BAN 194/2 after 36 overs vs PAK

Tanzad has scored a stunning ton here. When the chips were down, and Bangladesh needed an inspirational performance,, Tanzid stepped up. His innings might end up as the difference between the two sides. Bangladesh is looking to put somewhere around 300 on the board, which will be a massive total, and one of the top three from Pakistan needs to match Tanzid's innings.

Mar 15, 2026 04:20 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: BAN 179/2 after 34 overs vs PAK

Tanzid charges one down the track and hits for a six to get his ton. What a brilliant innings this has been from the left-hander. The most important thing for scoring a ton in this format of the game is adjustment of the tempo, and that is what Tanzid has been able to do brilliantly to get to his three-digit mark.

Mar 15, 2026 04:10 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: BAN 168/2 after 32 overs vs PAK

This has been a cracking spell from Rauf. These are the conditions under which he will excel on any given day in this format of the game. The wicket has gotten a bit slower, the ball has become a bit dirtier, and there is no swing in the air, and he is hitting the stumps consistently and skidding the ball on. Bangladesh is in a bit of a pickle at the moment.

Mar 15, 2026 04:01 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: BAN 160/2 after 30 overs vs PAK

Haris Rauf has got the wicket here. He has been bowling a superb spell here in the middle. He was quick and was hitting the stumps. Eventually, he bowled a yorker to Shanto, which the batter could not read and was given out. Although sent upstairs, there were three reds. Litton Das is the new batter in Bangladesh, who needs another partnership here.

Mar 15, 2026 03:50 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: BAN 156/1 after 28.3 overs vs PAK

This is a very important passage for Bangladesh. They have done the hard work and laid the foundation, but the wicket has gotten slower clearly, and the batters are not able to find the timing as they did previously. Tanzid's strike rate has gone down significantly. Bangladesh needs to reassess the target that they have in mind.

Mar 15, 2026 03:40 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: BAN 141/1 after 26 overs vs PAK

The momentum has changed completely in this game here. There is a bit of a sudden moment in the air out of nowehre and it has gone a bit dark. The ball is semi-new, but there are no signs of darkness on either side of the seam, so it is not the reverse; it is the conventional swing that is still in play.

Mar 15, 2026 03:30 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: BAN 134/1 after 24.1 overs vs PAK

This pitch has started well here, but it is a subcontinental wicket, hence it might get slower as it goes on. We might see batting get harder and harder as the ball gets older and softer. With the new rule change of having just one ball after the 34th over, Bangladesh, if they don't have a set batter in the middle, it might get pretty tricky.

Mar 15, 2026 03:20 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: BAN 128/1 after 21.5 overs vs PAK

There is a bit of turn for the Pakistan spinners to work with here in the middle, but somehow that turn has not resulted in wickets. At times when the wickets are spinning, the modern leg-spinner tends to miss out a bit, and this is where these are the king of surfaces where a finger-spinner might do better.

Mar 15, 2026 03:10 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: BAN 109/1 after 19 overs vs PAK

Shaheen Shah Afridi has brought himself back into the attack and picked up the wicket of Saif. The batter charged down the track and whacked the ball through covers, but was beaten all ends up. The bowling change has worked straight away for Pakistan. Najmul Shanto is the new batter in for Bangladesh.

Mar 15, 2026 03:00 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: BAN 96/0 after 17 overs vs PAK

The first water break of the game has arrived, and this has been an excellent start for Bangladesh. With the start they have gotten themselves here, they should be looking to get to at least 280-300 from here on, which will be a formidable total on this wicket for Pakistan to chase.

Mar 15, 2026 02:50 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: BAN 82/0 after 14.3 overs vs PAK

The captaincy from Shaheen thus far has been a bit reactive rather than proactive. He has tried to keep the bowlers bowl short bursts, but it is the field sets which seem to be letting the Bangladeshi batters away with easy singles. Abrar, who has started well, seems to be taking a bit of pasting from the other end.

Mar 15, 2026 02:40 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: BAN 70/0 after 11.5 overs vs PAK

Pakistan altough has slowed down the rate a bit, the partnership continues to grow rapidly here for the hosts. Shaheen's bowling first is not the issue, considering the possibility of rain later in the second innings, but since the wicket is flat, he needs to find methods of picking up wickets.

Mar 15, 2026 02:30 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: BAN 50/0 after 9.4 overs vs PAK

Bangladesh has put on a 50-run stand here. It is a nice opening partnership. Tanzid has taken the initiative and made sure Bangladesh has gotten off to a quick start; meanwhile, Saif took his time. He is a quality player, as the latter has shown during the Asia Cup last year, but he is just going through a lean patch, it seems.

Mar 15, 2026 02:19 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: BAN 41/0 after 7.4 overs vs PAK

Pakistan has made the bowling changes here. Abrar Ahmed and Faheem Ashraf have come into the attack. It is a good proactive bowling change from Shaheen, as a lot was not happening for Shaheen and Rauf. The conditions are also quite muggy today here, hence shorter and sharper spells might be the way to go.

Mar 15, 2026 02:09 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: BAN 30/0 after 5.1 overs vs PAK

This is a pretty good start for Bangladesh. The Pakistan bowlers, both Shaheen and Haris Rauf, have looked a bit toothless to start with. There is not a lot of swing or seam moment for both the pacers to work with, hence they have tried to alter their lines and lenghts which the Bangladesh batters have played pretty bravely.

Mar 15, 2026 01:59 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: BAN 22/0 after 3.1 overs vs PAK

Haris Rauf has taken the new ball from the other end today to start with, which is a pretty strange move. Regardless of the format and team Rauf plays for, he usually tends to be the first change bowler, but today, Shaheen has given him the responsibility of the new ball, and he did not start well.

Mar 15, 2026 01:51 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: BAN 2/0 after 1.1 overs vs PAK

Shaheen Shah Afridi has taken the new ball here, and the ball is going in straight lines. Both Saif Hussain and Tanzid are fairly aggressive players, and the way the pitch has started today, it does seem like they might have an opportunity to free their arms a bit and score some quick runs to inject momentum into the innings.

Mar 15, 2026 01:47 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: Pitch report by Athar Ali Khan

"The move to the pitch which was used in the first international. If you look at the surface itself, it's much less grass. There isn't a whole lot of grass covering, but since there was a thunderstorm the other night, you see a little bit dark patches here. It might be just a little bit tacky, you know, sometimes, it's still very strong in breeze, so it will dry up. But initially, the first 10 overs or so, I think there will be something for the bowlers. We already know that Shaheen Shah Afrifi has decided to bowl first on this surface. No surprises here, so you'outside the leg-stump be looking to bowl on the stumps. I think this is, during the series, it's turning out to be a really good sporting wicket. I love the way the curators have worked on, especially on the surface. You've got about runs, 275 is Pakistan's score. You've got about 3 50s already being scored in this series. What about the wickets taken by the seamers? 19 compared to 11 from a spinner. So if there is a sporting wicket, I love when there is something available for everyone, not a one-sided affair. Yes, this looks once again a very good surface for batters and bowlers, and I reckon if a team can score 250 or more, then I think they'outside the leg-stump have to be challenged,"

Mar 15, 2026 01:34 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: Shaheen Afridi at toss

We [will] bowl first. Actually, also as a pre-game thing in the team, two players were injured, Shamyl Hussain is injured, Hussain Talaz is injured, last game, that's why shoulder dislocated. Wasim Jr is resting, so he's gone again. So that's why we just decided to like, you know, go for a team and hopefully we bowl well and take a couple of wickets. (did weather impact the decision?) Yeah, that's why we chose the one because also the condition looks good right now and later on it will rain again and hopefully we take our wicket and restrict them. So the two debutants playing they also are very good batters - Ghazi Gori debut and also Saad Masood debut. So I hope for their performance and support them. Three changes, two new debutants.

Mar 15, 2026 01:30 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI, Live Cricket Score: Mehidy Miraz at toss

I'm happy because the wicket looks good. I think we are confident. In the last two matches we have bowled well, but still I'm confident that if we get that score, definitely it's a very good score on this wicket. Yes, definitely. I think we always talk about the best batting unit. You have to take responsibility in the top order and the middle-order batsmen. So if we get the runs, definitely our team will be better. I think everyone has to take responsibility. Yes, definitely. The most important thing is that you have to take responsibility and build partnerships. We should have partnerships with the top order. If you get partnerships, definitely we will be in a good position in the match. Yes, I think 260 is a very good score in these conditions because we have a very good bowling attack - three fast bowlers and two spinners - and definitely we can defend that. No, we don’t have changes. Today it is the same team.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh, 3rd ODI LIVE: Takeaways for both teams

Pakistan were criticised by many former stars for their strategy of handing out multiple debuts in this series against Bangladesh. But Maaz Sadaqat, playing in only his second ODI earlier this week, was a revelation for Pakistan in the second ODI, giving them a flying start with a 46-ball 75. Then, he also contributed with the ball, scalping three wickets.

For Bangladesh, Nahid Rana, with his five wickets in the first ODI to topple Pakistan for just 114, has emerged as a player to watch out for. He was expensive in the second game, but the first ODI did show glimpses of what he can do at full flow with the ball.

Mar 15, 2026 12:27 PM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh, 3rd ODI LIVE: What happened in the series so far?

In both games, Bangladesh have won the toss and asked Pakistan to bat first. IN the first game, Pakistan capitulated while batting first, getting all out for 114 with youngster Nahid Rana picking up five wickets. Then, in the second game, thanks to Maaz Sadaqat, who was playing in only his second ODI for Pakistan, the visiting team were able to put up a decent score on board, even thought they lost momentum after the controversial run out of Salman Ali Agha. (In fact, Pakistan lost seven wickets for 43 runs since the Agha wicket). The second innings was interrupted by heavy rain and when the game resumed, Bangladesh had a curtailed target to chase.

Pakistan ended up winning the second game via the DLS Method.

This leaves today's game as the decider.

Mar 15, 2026 11:34 AM IST

Pakistan vs Bangladesh, 3rd ODI LIVE: What was the run out controversy about?

The Salman Ali Agha run out incident that re-ignited the conversation about 'Spirt of Cricket' happened in the second game at the Shere Bangla Stadium in Mirpur.

On the fourth ball of the 39th over, which was being bowled by Bangladesh captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Mohd Rizwan defended the ball which rolled towards Agha at the non-striker’s end. The ball hit Agha's pads and his bat and he tried to pick the ball up. But Miraz, who moved sideways, got there first and picked the ball up and then threw it at the stumps at the non-striker’s end. The Pakistan cricketer was shocked to see Miraz and the other Bangladesh fielders appealing for a run out.

The decision was sent upstairs to the third umpire and while he was taking a look, cameras caught a livid Agha throwing his gloves and bat on the ground in anger. He had tried to pick the ball up to give the Bangladesh bowler.

The third umpire had given Agha run out and he trudged off in anger. Cameras then caught the usually calm Agha gesticulating in anger and aiming his words at Bangladesh players who were celebrating the wicket. At one point, Rizwan too had to intervene and hold back a Bangladesh player who tried to say something back to Agha as he was walking off.
