He explained his approach was simple: “See the ball, hit the ball”—a mindset that clearly paid off.

Sahibzada Farhan, the top scorer from the 2nd T20I, was dismissed for a duck in the first over by Mehidy Hasan Miraz. - Key Partnership:
Haris and Saim Ayub built a 92-run stand, which brought Pakistan back into control. Ayub scored 45 off 29 balls before falling to Tanzim Hasan Sakib. - Captain’s Role:

“We wanted to chase today to create pressure situations. I’m happy with how consistently the boys have performed.”
