| A resounding win for the Pakistanis in this dead rubber. It all went according to plan for them, wonder what they would have done after winning the toss. A good toss to lose indeed, they bowled in overcast conditions and the Bangladeshis helped them by throwing their wickets away. A paltry total to chase down and it was just a formality for the Pakistanis, the openers batted aggressively to seal a fantastic win. The Bangladeshis would be very disappointed with the way they played their last game, a lot of homework to be done to come back hard in their forthcoming outings. The Pakistanis would be happy to exit on a brighter note. We'll take a day off now and will be back with the high voltage Finals between India and Sri Lanka. Do join us then. Till then from all of us here in the comm box, Adios... |
