The surface is traditionally spin-friendly, but the 1st ODI told a different story. Nahid Rana’s pace and bounce proved more lethal than any spinner on the day.
Pakistan folded for 114, and Bangladesh knocked the target off in under 16 overs. Dew is expected again on March 13, making the toss a critical moment before a ball is bowled.

Conclusion: Bangladesh Leads 1–0 In The 3-Match Series
Pakistan needs to bounce back after being bowled out for only 114 in the first game. Their batters struggled with the pace and bounce, and with six new players in the squad, their lineup is hard to predict for the 2nd ODI.
Bangladesh is currently much stronger at home. Nahid Rana’s 5-wicket haul proved how dangerous their fast bowlers are in these conditions. Since dew will play a part, the toss will be very important. Bangladesh will likely prefer to bowl first and chase the target again.
