Bangladesh failed to win a single match in the series, losing 2-0 in both the Twenty20 and one-day series.

Pakistan bowlers dominated the tourists, who elected to bat first for the first time in the tour. The match was held at the Southend Club Stadium in Karachi on Tuesday.

Bangladesh managed only 123 for 9 with Pakistan spinner Anam Amin and medium pacer Asmavia Iqbal leading the rout for the hosts.

Ayasha Rahman, with 39, scored the highest for Bangladesh, while Nigar Sultana snailed to 30 off 109 balls. 

Barring the two and Ritu Moni, who contributed with 28, no other Bangladesh batsman made it to double digits, while three of them returned for ducks.

Sultana and Moni paired for 47 only to help Bangladesh cross 100.

Anam took four wickets for just 7 runs in 10 overs that had five maidens. Asmavia caused the early damage and returned 3 for 28.

Pakistan breezed to the target in 38.3 overs, losing just four wickets.

Bismah Maroof impressed again, topscoring with 41 for Pakistan, while Marina Iqbal (31) and Nain Abidi (22) made useful contributions.

Nahida Akter took 2 for 22 for the hosts.
