Pakistan end campaign with a resounding win

resounding win for the Pakistanis in this dead rubber. It all went according to plan for them, wonder what they would have done after winning the toss. A good toss to lose indeed, they bowled in overcast conditions and the Bangladeshis helped them by throwing their wickets away. A paltry total to chase down and it was just a formality for the Pakistanis, the openers batted aggressively to seal a fantastic win. The Bangladeshis would be very disappointed with the way they played their last game, a lot of homework to be done to come back hard in their forthcoming outings. The Pakistanis would be happy to exit on a brighter note. We'll take a day off now and will be back with the high voltage Finals between India and Sri Lanka. Do join us then. Till then from all of us here in the comm box, Adios...
Abdur Rauf is the Man of the Match for his outstanding bowling figures of 3 for 24 which rattled the Bangladeshi top order to cause the early problems.
This is Pakistan's first ever 10 wicket victory in an Asia Cup game.
