Shahid Afridi took five wickets as Pakistan bundled out Bangladesh for 91 in 30.3 overs in the first one-day international at the Sher-e-Bangla stadium in Dhaka on Thursday.
Batting first after winning the toss, Bangladesh lost Tamim Iqbal in very first over, and never seem to have recovered from there, losing wickets at constant intervals.
Nasir Hossain, top scored for the hosts with 21 runs.
Pakistan were led by Shahid Afridi who took 5 wickets for 25 runs in 6.3 overs. All the other bowlers chipped in with one wicket each.
good to see Afridi taking wickets – coz he is now 9th highest wicket taker he should go fwd and fwd– and espically paki management should send him as an opner may be a 50 and 5 wickets again
Pakistan zindabad,
This is exactly what happens when you provide better work environments to people. They deliver good results.
The conviction of three Pakistan players has given the rest some focus. The team culture of rudeness and unprofessional behaviour should gradually reduce but continuous vigilance is required. It had to be a British Court to do this job for Pakistan. The players now know what can be the consequences
Sadly, Ambassador Hassan (Pakistan's Ambassador to UK Mr Wajid Shamas ul Hassan) gave foolish statements in favour of the players soon after the incident. It was in order for him to visit but to wade on the side of players accused of serious crimes was unwise. He has previously collected 11-12 cartons full of papers relegating to President Zardari and his late wife’s trial in Switzerland.
If Pakistan can take the bold step of securing conviction of its top men and women whether in Politics or Public service the culture of corruption will change.
MA BROOK MY CRICKET TEAM, ESPECIALLY SHAHED AFRIDI ON THIS CONTINUED VICTORY.KEEP IT UP INSHAHALLAH THE ICC MANAGEMENT WILL BE BOUND TO RE-CONSIDER TO RE-START CRICKET GAMES IN PAKISTAN.AS PAKISTANS ARE PEACE LOVING PEOPLE.WE ARE PROUD OF YOU.
