Easy win for Pakistan

MULTAN: Pakistan marched to an easy seven-wicket win against Bangladesh in the fourth one-day international Wednesday and stretched its lead to 4-0 in the five-match series.

Pakistan’s in-form top order batting lineup — led by left-hander Salman Butt (74) — scored 212 for three in 44.3 overs after a gutsy century by left-hander Shakib Al Hasan (108) had lifted Bangladesh from a precarious 109 for eight to a modest 210 all out.

Bazid Khan (51) also scored a half century and featured in an 82-run stand with Mohammad Yousuf, who remained unbeaten on 37. Yousuf scored the winning runs when he swept left-arm spinner Abdur Razzak for a boundary.

Earlier, the left-handed Hasan defied Pakistan with 108 off 120 balls and rescued Bangladesh with a record-breaking 97-run ninth wicket stand with Mashrafe Mortaza (38). Hasan, who went in to bat in the third over at 16 for three, completed his half century off 64 balls before he reached his hundred in the 47th over off 115 deliveries with eight fours. Mortaza departed in the next over, holing out in the deep in paceman Mohammad Asif’s return spell. — AP
