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).
