Bangladeshi opener Parvez Hossain Emon scored an unbeaten fifty as the hosts won the first Pakistan vs Bangladesh series by seven wickets in Mirpur on Sunday.
Set to chase a 111-run target, Bangladesh won the game in 15.3 overs to go up 1-0 in the three-match T20I series.
Parvez Hossain Emon hit a quickfire 56 off 39 balls to help his side to a comfortable win despite Pakistan pacer Salman Mirza’s early twin strikes.
Tanzid Hasan fell to Salman Mirza in the very first over after scoring just one run off four balls.
Bangladesh captain Litton Das was also removed by Mirza on one run.
With the hosts reduced to 7/2 in 2.2 overs, Emon and Towhid Haridoy joined hands to build a 73-run partnership to take their side to 80 in 12 overs.
Abbas Afridi broke the partnership in the 13th over when he castled Haridoy for 36.
Jaker Ali then joined Emon, and the duo took Bangladesh over the line inside 16 overs.
