Earlier, Bangladesh rode on the debutant opener Siddique's magnificent half century to post 140.
Junaid blitzed his way to a 49-ball 71 which included six boundaries and three sixes. But he did not get able support at the other end with Bangladesh’s next highest scorer Aftab Ahmed managing just 15.
19-year-old left-hander Junaid was fortunate early in his innings to get a life when Misbah-ul-Haq failed to grab his miscued pull shot.
Iqbal was the first wicket to fall through a superb pick-and-throw from Hafeez running in from point.
That did deter Junaid from playing his shots as he hit some exquisite strokes off the Pakistani new-ball bowlers. Junaid had another reprieve when a hoick off Tanvir flied just above Imran Nazir's hands at deep midwicket.
Afridi was blasted for two boundaries down the ground as Junaid reached his 50 in 35 balls. Ahmed on the other end scored in singles and the duo added 63 runs for the second wicket.
But once Aftab was stumped by Kamran Akmal off Hafeez (2/27), wickets tumbled at regular intervals. Hafeez also got rid of Saqibul Hasan while skipper Mohammad Ashraful was trapped in front by Afridi.
Hafeez came in for some harsh treatment from Junaid who hit him for two sixes. Pakistan skipper Malik (2/15) finally got the crucial wicket of Junaid who went for one big hit too many. |
