Bangladesh have set Pakistan a target of 330 in the first ODI against Pakistan at Mirpur.
A 178 run-partnership between Tamim Iqbal and Mushfiqur Rahim helped Bangladesh reach the huge total and a lot remains on Pakistan's batsmen if they are to win this game. Tamim scored a 135-ball 132 while Mushfiqur hit 106 off 77 balls, and carted the Pakistan bowlers all around the ground.
Wahab Riaz's 4 for 59 was the highlight of Pakistan's bowling and apart from the pacer, the rest of the bowlers let a lot to be desired. Saeed Ajmal was hammered the most as he finished with figures of 0 for 74 and had an off-day. At the time of print, Pakistan were 53 for 1 after 10.2 overs after losing the wicket of Sarfraz Ahmed (24).
Azhar Ali (25*) and Mohammad Hafeez (0*) were the two batsmen at crease.
