Old grudges. New heroes. And a pitch that saw pride, pressure, and pure fire. Welcome to Bangladesh vs Pakistan 2025 — not just a match, but a cricketing collision that lit up the subcontinent.
🇧🇩🐅 Bangladesh’s New Breed Came to Hunt
Gone are the days when Bangladesh entered the field just hoping to “compete.” In 2025, they showed up to dominate. With a fearless young squad hungry for respect and revenge, the Tigers turned every ball into a roar of intent.
- Captain Litton Das marshaled his troops with icy confidence.
- Rising star Tanzid Hasan smashed a blitzkrieg 70 off just 42 balls, slicing through Pakistan’s pace like butter.
- Taskin Ahmed, Bangladesh’s pace spearhead, rattled stumps and spirits alike with speeds touching 150 km/h.
This wasn’t just a game. It was Bangladesh 2.0 — aggressive, athletic, and absolutely unapologetic.

But the Green Shirts didn’t take it lying down. When Babar Azam walked in, the crowd went quiet — and the scoreboard came alive.
- Babar’s vintage 88-run masterclass was elegance under fire, keeping Pakistan’s chase afloat.
- Shaheen Afridi swung the ball like a magician, breaking through the top order with raw pace and late movement.
- All-rounder Shadab Khan gave Bangladesh a spin headache, turning the ball square and adding a fiery cameo with the bat.
Pakistan showed flashes of brilliance — but were they consistent enough?
