Lahore: Pakistan put in an all-around effort to defeat Bangladesh by seven wickets in the Super 4 match at the Asia Cup in Lahore on Wednesday.
Imam-ul-Haq and Mohammad Rizwan starred with the bat as Pakistan chased down the 194-run target in 39.3 overs, with the latter returning unbeaten on 63(79). Imam, on the other hand, scored 78(84) and stitched a decisive 74-run third-wicket stand with Rizwan.
Pakistan skipper Babar Azam, however, couldn't do much with the bat as he was cleaned up for 17(22) by Taskin Ahmed.
Earlier, Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah produced a clinical show as Pakistan folded Bangladesh for 193 in 38.4 overs. Rauf emerged as the standout bowler from the Pakistan camp, scalping four wickets in six overs.
Naseem was not far behind as he picked three wickets in the 5.4 overs. Barring Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim no other Bangladesh batters could resist the fiery pace of Pakistan.
The pair added 100 runs for the fifth wicket and both slammed their respective half-centuries. Shakib was dismissed for 53(57), while Mushfiqur was caught-behind for 64(87).
