Pakistan’s baseball team began their West Asia Cup title defense with an impressive 10-6 victory over Bangladesh in Iran on Friday.

Despite an early setback due to fielding errors, the team made a strong comeback. Pakistan dominated the first inning, scoring six quick runs, but Bangladesh countered with five runs, putting pressure on the defending champions.

The game’s turning point came with an exceptional performance from bowler Syed Muhib Shah, who stabilized Pakistan’s play by allowing just one run over nearly six innings. His efforts paved the way for the team’s win.

Batting contributions from Abdul Raziq, Aashir Abbas, and Muhammad Rehan further strengthened Pakistan’s position, showcasing their resilience and determination.

With Bangladesh losing both of their matches, Pakistan has already secured a spot in the semi-finals. Their upcoming clash against Iran will determine their final group ranking and their opponent in the next stage.
