Despite taking an unassailable 2-0 lead over Pakistan, Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza is not ready to take the third encounter lightly and is aiming for a series whitewash when the two teams lock horns in the three-match ODI series' final tie on Wednesday.
Bangladesh claimed their first-ever series win over Pakistan after beating the latter in the second ODI by seven wickets in Dhaka on Sunday.
Tamim Iqbal smacked his second consecutive century as he made an unbeaten 116 runs to steer home to an emphatic victory.
Reflecting on his team's performance, Mortaza said that although the boys are very happy, the job is not done yet as they have one more match to go, Sport24 reported.
The skipper said that it was almost a perfect match for them and they want to continue like this, adding that Tamim and Rahim have been brilliant with the bat in the series and Shakib has led from the front with the ball.
Pakistan will play a Twenty20 match and two Tests on their month-long tour of Bangladesh after the conclusion of the ODI series.
