Welcome to Dawn.com's live coverage of the third One-Day International between Pakistan and Bangladesh.

After ending their 16-year wait, Bangladesh will come out all guns blazing to complete a rare whitewash against Pakistan by winning the third and the final one-day international today in Dhaka.

Bangladesh won their first ever one-day series against Pakistan with a seven-wicket victory on April 19 that gave the hosts a 2-0 lead in the three-match series.

Chasing Pakistan's 239 for six, Bangladesh rode on Tamim Iqbal's unbeaten 116 to cruise home in the 39th over at the Sher-e-Bangla stadium.

Bangladesh had also won the first match by 79 runs at the same venue on April 17.
