Bangladesh were reduced to 23/3 but a 79-run partnership between Liton Das (45) and Mahmudullah (56) kept them afloat before Iftikhar Ahmed dismissed the latter in the 21st over. Shaheen returned to clean the stumps of Mahmudullah, and Bangladesh lost the plot completely. Mohammad Wasim Jr picked three wickets towards the end.

In reply, Pakistan openers Abdullah Shafique (68) and Fakhar Zaman (81) came out all guns blazing. They forged a 128-run partnership off 127 runs. Babar Azam (9) but Mohammad Rizwan (26*) and Iftikhar Ahmed (17*) remained unbeaten to take Pakistan past the winning line.

Pakistan are back at fifth spot after the win. They can reach ten points if they beat New Zealand and England in their last two league stage matches.
