The first T20I of the three-match series between Bangladesh and Pakistan was played at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur, on July 20, 2025. Litton Das, captain of Bangladesh, won the toss and chose to bowl first.

While opener Fakhar Zaman scored 44 with 6 fours and 1 six, the remainder of Pakistan's top and middle order succumbed to Bangladeshi bowlers. Abbas Afridi with 22 and Khushdil Shah with 17 were the only other batters to reach double digits as Pakistan made 110 in 19.3 overs.

Taskin Ahmed took 3/22, while Mustafizur Rahman took 2 wickets.

Zaman and Khushdil added 24 runs for the sixth wicket and looked good to take Pakistan to a respectable total. But Zaman was unlucky to miss out on a deserving half-century after getting run out in a hilarious mix-up with Khushdil Shah.

The incident occurred on the third delivery of Pakistan's 12th over, bowled by Mustafizur Rahman. Khushdil was on strike and attempted a shot to score one run. He called for a second run after finishing the first, but chose to change his mind halfway through.  

Fakhar, who was on the other end, had also reached the halfway point by then, so when Khushdil said no, he had no choice but to return. But before he could return, Taskin Ahmed's throw from the third-man region was superbly caught by wicketkeeper Litton Das at the striker's end, shattering the stumps.  

Fakhar Zaman stared daggers at Khushdil after his dismissal, and the clip of the dismissal went viral on social media.
