Bangladesh asked to chase 239 by Pakistan

Mirpur- Saad Nasim's maiden ODI half-century and a late blitz from Wahab Riaz lifted Pakistan to a fighting total after Bangladesh had reduced them to 77 for 5. Nasim, who had made a duck on his debut on Friday, scored an unbeaten 96-ball 77, and rebuilt Pakistan's innings with a 77-run sixth-wicket partnership with Haris Sohail before finishing the innings explosively in Wahab's company.

Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat. Wahab dominated their stand of 85 off 66 balls, and finished not out on 51 off 40. He turned the momentum as soon as he walked in to bat in the 39th over. Pakistan scored 90 runs in their last 12 overs, and 49 in their last five.
