Asia Cup final: Pakistan restricted to 236-9 by Tigers

Pakistan were restricted by Bangladesh to 236 runs for nine wickets in 50 overs in the final of the Asia Cup one-day tournament here at the Shere Bangla National Stadium on Thursday.

After being put into bat by Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim, who always liked to chase throughout the tournament, Pakistan could not bat impressively against accurate bowling and alert fielding from the hosts.

Wicketkeeper-batsman Sarfraz Ahmed top scored with an unbeaten 46, followed by Mohammad Hafeez (40), Shahid Afridi (32), Umar Akmal (30) and Hammad Azam (30) as no other batsmen could reached double figures.
