BAN vs PAK 3rd ODI Highlights: Bangladesh scripted a thrilling 11-run win over Pakistan in the third ODI at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium in Dhaka to seal the series 2-1.
Bangladesh posted a total of 290/5 from 50 overs after being asked to bat by Pakistan in the third ODI in Dhaka on Sunday. Pakistan need 291 runs to win.
Tanzid Hasan Tamim was Bangladesh's top-scorer with a run-a-ball knock of 107. This is his maiden ODI century.
Apart from Tanzid, Litton Das (41) and Towhid Hridoy (48*) also made crucial contributions with the bat.
For Pakistan, Haris Rauf was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 3/52. Shaheen Afridi picked figures of 1/55 whereas Abrar Ahmed registered figures of 1/49.
In their reply, Pakistan got off to a terrible start and they were restricted to 17/3 at one stage. They were further restricted to 82/5 in the 18th over, but that is where the game changed.
Salman Ali Agha (106) and Saad Masood (38) forged an imporrtant 79-run stand for the sixth wicket, but the Tigers were right back in the game following the dismissal of the latter.
The partnerships kept coming, with Salman and Faheem Ashraf forging 48 runs and then Salman forging another 52-run stand with Shaheen Afridi.
The complexion of the match changed when Salman was dismissed in the 48th over. That left Pakistan in trouble at 261/8, and even though Shaheen kept producing the runs, lack of support from his partner in Haris Rauf hurt the visitors.
Pakistan needed 14 runs to win from the last six balls, but without Salman, the pressure was clearly on Shaheen. All Shaheen could collect were a couple of runs, which meant that Pakistan needed 12 runs to win from the last ball.
In the last ball, Shaheen stepped out of the crease after he looked to heave but missed. Once Shaheen stepped out of the crease, wicketkeeper Litton Das wasted no time in stumping him.
