  "textContent": "Bangladesh pace sensation Nahid Rana claimed his first five-wicket haul in one-day internationals to lead his team to a crushing eight-wicket win over Pakistan in their opening match on Wednesday.\n\nRana returned figures of 5-24 to skittle out Pakistan for 114, a total Bangladesh overhauled in 15.1 overs of the 50-over contest in Mirpur to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.\n\nOpener Tanzid Hasan hammered an unbeaten 67 off 42 balls and put on a second-wicket partnership of 82 with Najmul Hossain Shanto, who made 27, in a statement win.\n\nSaif Hassan fell early for four, while Litton Das remained unbeaten on three with Tanzid.\n\nEarlier, Nahid laid the platform for victory with his outstanding spell in his seven overs to bowl out Pakistan for their lowest ODI total against Bangladesh, eclipsing the previous 161 during the 1999 World Cup.\n\nThe 23-year-old Nahid ripped through Pakistan’s top order, becoming the first Bangladeshi bowler to dismiss the opposition’s top five batters in an ODI innings.\n\nNahid removed Sahibzada Farhan (27), Shamyl Hussain (4), Maaz Sadaqat (18), Mohammad Rizwan (10) and Salman Agha (5) as Pakistan slumped to 69-5.\n\nHe was ably supported by captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who took 3-29 with his off-spin.\n\nSenior quicks Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman took one wicket each.\n\nNumber eight Faheem Ashraf offered brief resistance with his 37 before being dismissed by Mustafizur as Pakistan were eventually bowled out in 30.4 overs.\n\nThe performance marked a breakthrough in Nahid’s young ODI career since his debut in 2024.\n\nHe had taken only five wickets in his first five matches before producing the five-wicket haul in his sixth appearance.\n\nNahid is now only the second Bangladeshi bowler to take a five-wicket haul against Pakistan in ODIs after Mustafizur’s 5-75 during the 2019 World Cup.",
