Pakistan's clean sweep

Published December 7, 2011

In the first ODI, Shahid Afridi grabbed five wickets for 23 runs and then kept his cool in a batting crisis as Pakistan overcame Bangladesh by five wickets in the first one-day international. The leg-spinner ripped through the Bangladesh line-up as the hosts were bowled out for 91 after electing to bat at the Sher-e-Bangla stadium — with seven batsmen failing to reach double figures.

Ruthless Pakistan drubbed Bangladesh by 76 runs in the second one-day international in Dhaka on Saturday to take a decisive 2-0 lead in the three-match series.

Pakistan’s spinners revelled in helpful conditions to crush Bangladesh by 58 runs in the third and final one-day international to win the series 3-0.
