Maaz Sadaqat<\/a> starred for Pakistan in the second ODI of their three-match series against Bangladesh. Who is the 20-year-old all-rounder?<\/p>\n Sadaqat made his ODI debut in the first match of the series against Bangladesh, along with three other Pakistan teammates<\/a>, including his opening partner Sahibzada Farhan. The southpaw could only score a 28-ball 18 as his side fell to an eight-wicket defeat.<\/p>\n But he proved why his all-round skills were so highly rated in the second game, hitting a 46-ball 75 before picking up three wickets for 23 runs with his left-arm spin to help Pakistan level the series with a 128-run win (DLS method) after some controversy<\/a> where Salman Ali Agha was run out in bizarre circumstances. Sadaqat was named the Player of the Match.<\/p>\n Also read: Pakistan star fumes at bizarre run out after trying to pick up ball in Bangladesh ODI<\/a><\/p>\n Who is Maaz Sadaqat, the Pakistan all-rounder? <\/p>\n Sadaqat comes with a rich domestic background, having played 25 first-class, 30 List A and 33 T20 games across competitions.
