)
Shan Masood gets a couple on the first ball of the penultimate over to take Pakistan home. They have won this one by 5 wickets and have registered a place in the semis
Pakistan had got two boundaries in that one but have now lost a wicket. Haris wanted to go over covers as he danced down the track but didn’t time his stroke well and was caught by Nasum Ahmed for 31 off 18
Haris makes most of that free hit as he hammers that fuller one, way outside off to the square leg boundary for a maximum
After 14 overs,Pakistan 89/2 ( Mohammad Nawaz 3 , Mohammad Haris 19)
PAK vs BAN LIVE SCORE
Pakistan got some important runs in that over. Haris has hit a boundary and a maximum in that one bringing down the equation to 39 needed off final six overs
That’s another one. Pakistan have lost both their openers now. Width on offer from Ebadot Hossain to Rizwan as he tries to slash that over point region but ends up giving a straight forward catch to Shanto. He is gone for 32 off 32
Bangladesh have the breakthrough after the break. Babar Azam tries to go for the slog sweep on a tossed up delivery from Nasum Ahmed but only manages to get the leading edge and is caught by Mustafizur at short third man for 25 off 33
After 10 overs,Pakistan 56/0 ( Mohammad Rizwan (W) 31 , Babar Azam (C) 25)
PAK vs BAN LIVE
Rizwan and Babar Azam have given a steady start to Pakistan in this run chase. While Rizwan is scoring runs quickly, Babar has been cautious so far
Two boundaries in a row. Rizwan has started to open up now. That dropped catch is hurting Bangladesh. The right-handed batter slog sweeps that one for a boundary on the on side
Now that’s disappointing for Taskin. He could have had Rizwan’s wicket on the previous delivery but the wicket-keeper dropped a regulation catch and now the right-handed batter has hit the bowler for a maximum. Taskin bowls it short and Rizwan goes for the pull. It takes the top edge and flies over the boundary rope for a maximum
A clinical bowling performance from Pakistan in the final 10 overs has restricted Bangladesh to 127/8 in 20 overs. Pakistan now need 128 to make a place in the semis
Shaheen Afridi continues to pick wickets. Taskin Ahmed tries to go for the big hit but miscues it completely and is caught by Babar Azam at mid off for 1
Shaheen Afridi comes round the wicket to Mosaddek Hossain, bowls a perfect yorker and cleans him up for 5 off 11. Bangladesh are tumbling here now. They have lost wickets in quick succession
After 15 overs,Bangladesh 99/4 ( Afif Hossain 7 , Mosaddek Hossain 4)
Bangladesh were off to a steady start but Pakistan spinners have pulled things back as they picked up three wickets in quick succession
Bangladesh have lost two wickets in quick succession after the break. First, Soumya Sarkar got caught at point for 20 off 17 and now Shakib has been trapped in front of the stumps for 0
After 10 overs,Bangladesh 70/1 ( Najmul Hossain Shanto 41 , Soumya Sarkar 18)
Bangladesh lost Litton Das early but Shanto and Sarkar have been cautious in their approach. The running between the wickets has been brilliant so far
After 7 overs,Bangladesh 49/1 ( Najmul Hossain Shanto 30 , Soumya Sarkar 8)
Bangladesh lost an early wicket but they have been scoring runs at a decent pace. Shanto and Sarkar have been watchful so far
Commentator’s curse! Litton Das departs! Shaheen bowls that length ball, offers some width on it as the batter tries to cut that one away but plays it straight to Shan Masood stationed at backward point. He goes for 10
Oh that’s a good shot. Litton Das pulls that short one from Shaheen for a maximum to the square leg boundary. He was brilliant against India in the last game and just needs to carry his form here
Touch back of the length from Naseem Shah and SHanto cuts that one away through the off side for a boundary
The players are out in the middle. Litton Das and Shanto will open the innings. Shaheen Afridi will bowl the first over

So, again, we can’t look behind or too far ahead. What’s important is what we have realized through some harsh lessons that we can only do what’s in our control,” said Shan Masood
