Bangladesh : 115 (38.2 Ovs) & Pakistan: 116/0 (19.4 Ovs)
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.

A 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.
