The Asia Cup match against Bangladesh in Mirpur is slipping away from the hands of Pakistan. Chasing a mammoth 327 run target, Pakistan were 296 for 6 in 47 overs when reports last came in. For Pakistan, Shehzad Ahmed waged a lone battle with his century as Pakistan lost its top order. Earlier, batting first after winning the toss, Bangladesh piled up their highest-ever ODI total of 326 for three in a must-win game. For Bangladesh, opener Anamul Haque built the foundation with a patient 100 off 132 balls. Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib al Hasan finished Bangla Desh's innings with a smashing 77-run partnership in only 5.3 overs.A win for Bangladesh would boost India's hopes as they would have to win against Afghanistan by a bonus point tomorrow. Should there be a tie in the points tally net run rate would come into play.
