Pakistan lost their wicket in an unfortunate manner and all hopes of victory disappeared as quickly as they came into view. Pakistan required 81 runs from their final six overs but could only manage 72.

Bangladesh had come close to victory in the final over, only for Tanzim Hasan to edge a ball to backward point fielder and send them packing.
