00:00The Chattogram pitch notoriously favours teams batting first, and that is what the visitors did.
00:06Brandon King and Alec Athanese would set about laying a solid foundation for the Caribbean men.
00:12King, a constant presence in four half-century opening stands, made it a fifth.
00:18But the stand ended on 59 when Athanese had his stumps disturbed.
00:24Tasking Ahmed struck a double blow in over 13 to set back the windings at 82 for three.
00:30But skipper Shea Hope and Ravman Powell in his 100th match kept things going.
00:38The pair were not ballistic, but their 83 or 48 balls was enough to mount a pass score for the surface at 165 for three.
00:46Tees batting second have won 58% of matches at the venue, and Bangladesh were hopeful for the same trend.
00:53But the Wendy's were also up to the task.
01:00Brilliant catch here to judge that it was, seemed to be going away from him, better getting it carried away.
01:07And Akin Hussain backed up Sheppard's brilliance with his own.
01:10What a comeback!
01:12That stopped only Don Kumarandaj.
01:14She wasn't...
01:15Hussain was a problem for the hosts as they were behind the eight ball at 38 for three.
01:20He has...
01:21And Jason Hulda would grab another for the Pacers.
01:24Just when we are talking about...
01:27Spin was very effective and Caripeer got his to put the Wendy's in charge at 59 for five.
01:32The air comes in and gets the breakthrough.
01:34Still 89 runs away.
01:36Bangladesh was still in the match but with fewer margins for error.
01:39And aim to the stands.
01:40And Tanzim Hassan Shaqib with 53 and Nassoum Ahmed would wipe off 40 runs from the deficit.
01:48But the pressure was always on and the Pacers would take advantage.
01:52But that will be taken and it is.
01:55Jason Hulda and Jaden Seals both grabbed three wickets apiece.
01:58And where's that going?
02:01Oh, brilliant!
02:03Absolutely sensational!
02:08And Bangladesh literally had another misstep as Moussa Fizur Rahman knocked over his stumps
02:13on 149 to hand the Wendy's victory by 16 runs and a 1-0 series lead.
02:19But it heals!
02:22Terence Clark, TV6 Sport.
02:24Yeah, I think he did.
