Pakistan recovered from a top-order collapse to beat Bangladesh by four wickets in the first T20l of their three-match series in Dhaka on Friday. 

The visitors restricted Bangladesh to a measly 127-7 as the hosts won the toss and elected to bat. Fast bowler Hasan Ali picked up 3-22 and right-arm pacer Mohammad Wasim Jr 2-24 for the visitors as Afif Hossain top-scored with 36 off 34 balls for Bangladesh. But the tempting target looked challenging when Pakistan slumped to 24-4.
