Pakistan hammered Bangladesh by seven wickets on  Tuesday, October 31 in a match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 held at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Chasing 204 to win, they got a brilliant start courtesy of openers Fakhar Zaman (81) and Abdullah Shafique (68). Skipper Babar Azam (9) got out quickly, but Mohammad Rizwan and Iftikhar Ahmed made sure that there was no more damage as the Men in Green completed a victory after four consecutive losses. 

 

They won with 105 balls to spare which boosted their net-run rate and pushed them to the fifth position, keeping them alive in the race for the semi-finals. For Bangladesh, who are now eliminated, Mehidy Hasan Miraz took 3/60. 

 

Earlier Mohammad Wasim Junior and Shaheen Afridi combined to bowl out Bangladesh for a meagre 204 in 45.1 overs. They picked three wickets each while Haris Rauf took two and Usama Mir, and Iftikhar Ahmed had one each. For the Tigers, Mahmudullah tops-cored with 56 while Litton Das (45), Shakib Al Hasan (43) and Mehidy Miraz (25) also contributed towards the total and were the only other batters to reach double figures.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh LIVE SCORE | World Cup 2023 Updates | Pakistan win by 7 wickets

 

A quick single by Mohammad Rizwan would seal the deal for Pakistan here as they win the match by seven wickets with 105 balls to spare. This will certainly boost their net run rate. However, had they won against South Africa, they would have still been in the reckoning. The two matches against Australia and South Africa where they could have won, might just haunt them. Statistically though, Pakistan are still alive in the Semi-Finals race.
