Pakistan Beats Bangladesh By 5 Wickets In 1st ODI

Dhaka, Dec 1: Shahid Afridi took five wickets and was unbeaten on 24 as Pakistan sealed a five-wicket win over Bangladesh despite a nervous run chase in the first one-day international on Thursday.

Afridi helped Pakistan bowl out the hosts for a paltry 91 and after his side was reduced to 63-5, the former captain partnered current skipper Misbah-ul-Haq (16 not out) to take Pakistan past the winning target in 25.4 overs.

Pakistan's spin attack combined to wreck Bangladesh's batting effort. While Afridi took the headlines with his 5-23, Mohammad Hafeez, Shoaib Malik and Saeed Ajmal took a wicket each.

Quick bowlers Umar Gul and Aizaz Cheema also struck to make sure all six Pakistan bowlers finished with a wicket.
