# Pakistan bowled out for 114 against Bangladesh, their lowest ever total in bilateral ODIs > Bangladesh won the first ODI of the three-match series by 8 wickets with 34.5 overs to spare; Pakistan's batting collapsed in Dhaka in a result that deepens the national team's crisis heading into the ICC Tri-Series **Meta:** type: event · date: 2026-07-01 · heads: The Quiet Shift, What Broke · 8 takes · 5 lenses · 4 regions ## Summary Pakistan were bowled out for 114 in 27.3 overs at Dhaka's Sher-e-Bangla Stadium on July 1, their lowest total in bilateral ODI history against Bangladesh. Six batsmen failed to reach double figures; no partnership exceeded 22 runs. Bangladesh chased the total in 15.1 overs, winning by 8 wickets with 34.5 overs to spare, a margin that suggests the pitch offered no particular assistance to the bowling side. The result intensifies Pakistan's ongoing batting crisis: six losses in eight ODIs, a sub-25 average against pace in Asian conditions over the last year, and a selectors' pool that has not settled on a first-choice XI since the World Cup. Pakistan-born England seamer Saqib Mahmood coincidentally took 3/33 in an England-India T20I in Durham the same day. ## The split Pakistani coverage, particularly television, treated the result as a national humiliation requiring immediate institutional accountability. Geo News and ARY reported emergency PCB discussions as likely before the second ODI. Dawn took a more structural read, tracing the collapse to selection instability and the absence of World Cup-fatigued senior players. Bangladeshi press was measured, framing the win as confirmation of domestic ODI maturity rather than celebration of Pakistani weakness. Indian coverage noted the coincidence of Saqib Mahmood's Durham performance as a pointed irony. ESPNCricinfo's scorecard is the record on which every other account depends. ## By the numbers - 114, Pakistan's total (27.3 overs), lowest ever against Bangladesh in bilateral ODIs - 8 wickets, Bangladesh's margin of victory - 34.5 overs, balls remaining when Bangladesh completed the chase - 6, Pakistan batsmen who failed to reach double figures - 6/8, Pakistan's ODI win-loss record over the last 12 months ## Why it matters Pakistan's ODI programme feeds directly into ICC Tri-Series preparation and the 2027 Champions Trophy hosting rights debate. A structural batting crisis at the bilateral tier signals vulnerability in higher-stakes ICC events. The Bangladesh win, by a margin this large, also reshapes the regional cricket power hierarchy: South Asia's tier-2 match-up, once reliably close, is now skewing decisively toward Bangladesh at home. For Pakistan cricket administration, a public result of this scale typically accelerates coach and selector turnover. ## What to watch - Pakistan's response in the 2nd ODI (weather permitting, rain threatened). - PCB board response and any mid-series selection changes. - Whether Pakistan's pace attack can exploit Bangladesh's batting depth in the remaining matches. - Impact on Pakistan's ICC ODI ranking, currently 5th. ## Regional takes (batched by bias / lens) ### Cricket's global record of authority; covers both teams without national bias - **ESPNCricinfo** (International, en) — ESPNCricinfo's match report records Pakistan bowled out for 114 in 27.3 overs at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, Dhaka.
