Pakistan top-order crumbled for the second time in succession in the T20I series against Bangladesh, as they lost their first five wickets for just 15 runs on the board in the second match in Mirpur. Chasing 134 runs for a win, Pakistan slipped to 15-5 to reach a sluggish powerplay score of 17-5, and eventually to 125 all out to fall eight runs short of the hosts.

Bangladesh bowlers seemed to have rekindled Pakistan’s old scars against the new ball, exposing their top-order fragility once again and triggering memories of some of their most infamous T20I collapses. Here is a look at three of Pakistan’s worst batting starts in T20I history, including their latest debacle.

The third match between the two sides will commence from 5:30 PM IST onwards on Thursday, July 24.
