CHRISTCHURCH: Skipper Shakib Al Hasan and Litton Das scored magnificent half-centries as they stormed through the Pakistani bowling attack with a valiant 88-run partnership for the fourth wicket to help Bangladesh set a massive 174-run target in the penultimate game of the Tri-series, here on Thursday.
Das starred with 69 off 42 while Shakib scored 68 off 42 as the pair anchored Bangladesh’s batting after they slipped to 41/2 in the 6th over.
Opting to bat after winning the toss, Bangladesh had a dismal start to their innings as opener Soumya Sarkar fell cheaply in the third over by pacer Naseem Shah.
