That's it from this game then! Bangladesh do what not lot expected them to, they have taken an unassailable lead in the series. The next game is a must win for Pakistan. That game begins on the 30th of August (5.00 AM GMT). Till then, goodbye and take care!
Najmul Hossain Shanto says it was a very special win. Adds they have never won here and he is pleased they could do it. Mentions they had believe in themselves. Further says they have worked really hard. Credits the bowlers for the way they bowled. Appreciates the batters for the way they played. Ends by saying he hopes they can continue this form.
Shan Masood says the wicket didn't play as they thought it would. Admits they made a lot of mistakes and they need to correct it. Mentions they need to do a lot better going ahead and they got the weather forecast wrong too. Adds they bowled well and the cracks did open up and Bangladesh took advantage.
Mushfiqur Rahim says this is one their finest win. Credit goes to all the players and how they prepared themselves. Mentions they trained a lot when they had a gap and it was very benicifical for them. Ends by saying he always tries to give his 100 percent and he wants to do his best for his side.
Heading into Day 4, a Draw looked the likeliest result but Bangladesh had different ideas. Their bowlers rose to the occasion and delivered. The likes of Rana, Hasan, Mehidy and Shakib made quick work of the Bangladesh batting line up. They bowled them out in under two sessions and chased down a very small score with relative ease.
In reply, Bangladesh also enjoyed the placid conditions out there and they ended up taking a lead of over 100. For them it was more like a combined effort by their batters, however, the star of the show was Rahim who played one of the finest knocks by a Bangladesh player.
This game just came to life on the last day! Till then, it was moving along at a very slow pace. It was Pakistan who were inserted and they put up a really good score despite being in trouble early on. Shakeel and Rizwan were the stars.
What a win! What a present for Shanto on his birthday! He couldn't not have asked for anything better from his team. Absolutely brilliant. End of an outstanding performance. They are the first team to beat Pakistan in Pakistan by 10 wickets. Sensational stuff.
