Al Jazeera
Pakistan bowled out for the lowest total in a match against Bangladesh as the latter claim 8-wicket win to open series.
Bangladesh pace sensation Nahid Rana claimed his first five-wicket haul in one-day internationals to lead his team to a crushing eight-wicket win over Pakistan in the opening match of their bilateral series.
Rana returned figures of 5-24 to skittle out Pakistan for 114, a total Bangladesh overhauled in 15.1 overs of Wednesday’s 50-over contest in Mirpur to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
Opener Tanzid Hasan hammered an unbeaten 67 off 42 balls and put on a second-wicket partnership of 82 with Najmul Hossain Shanto, who made 27, in a statement win.
Saif Hassan fell early for four, while Litton Das remained unbeaten on three with Tanzid.
Earlier, Nahid laid the platform for victory with his outstanding spell in his seven overs to bowl out Pakistan for their lowest ODI total against Bangladesh, eclipsing the previous 161 during the 1999 World Cup.
