And the total that Bangladesh put on, was never going to be enough for them to actually defend. Pakistan had a very easy target in front of them and they did not fail to chase. By the way, is there any chance for Bangladesh to actually reach the next stage after this? They should be out, right?

Pakistan bowlers are bowling really well and Haris Rauf was their best bowler tonight as the Bangladesh batsman were struggling to face his pace and it is a cakewalk total for Pakistan to chase. Bangladesh is still having matches against Sri Lanka and India, but the most interesting match that is coming up is India and Pakistan and hopefully rain will not affect that match like the first one.

The bowling line-up from Pakistan is exceptional and it is known to the world. In today's match it was Harish Rauf (4/19) and Naseem Shah(3/34) who took the majority of the wickets. Bangladesh had a good partnership from the loss of early wickets 47/4 and a hundred runs partnership for the fifth wicket. When they've got more overs to go, Shakib Al Hasan could've played slowly than going for big shots. This is where the team once again started to loss wickets and ended the innings in less than 40 overs.

The Bangladesh team is far behind here because they could not play the whole match on their own due to the fall of wickets. ODI matches can be a competitive game if wickets are kept on the field for a long time. Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim batted well but the rest of the batsmen did not play well due to which the signs of Bangladesh's decline appeared. The Bangladesh team did not perform well in the bowling line, due to which the Pakistan team got the chance and secured the victory by losing only three wickets in 39.3 overs.
