A reckless batting put Bangladesh A in trouble on day one of the first four-day game against Pakistan Shaheens (Pakistan A) at Islamabad Club Ground on Tuesday.
Pakistan star bowler Nasim Shah, who are trying to make a comeback in the Test team and Mir Hamza wrecked havoc on Bangladesh A as Bangladesh batters were bowled out for only 122 after electing to bat first.
Both of the pacers scalped three wickets apiece. Opener Mahmudul Hasan Joy was the only to make some resistance, having scored 65 off 194, with the help of nine fours.
Mushfiqur Rahim and Mominul Haque, two senior batter of Bangladesh Test team, who took this match as a preparation platform for upcoming Test series against Pakistan, made 14 and 11 respectively.
Rejaur Rahman Raja was other one to reach double digits apart from the trio, scoring 10.
The toss was delayed for three hours due to rain and only 46 overs were possible on Day one. Mir Hamza drew the blood first, when he rattled the stump of opener Zakir Hasan for duck before Nasim Shah came to the party.
Nasim took prized scalp of Mominul and Mushfiqur, making Bangladesh three down for 53 runs.
However, despite, Joy's huge resistance, Bangladesh A kept losing wickets at regular interval to bowl out for paltry total.
Before the bad light brought a premature end to the day, Pakistan Shaheens reached two for no loss in two overs.
