Bangladesh wins series 2-1 with 11-run win over Pakistan in 3rd ODI

Dhaka: Bangladesh sealed the one-day international series 2-1 after edging a new-look Pakistan side by 11 runs in the decisive third match on Tuesday.

Salman Ali Agha kept Pakistan’s hopes alive with a fluent 106 off 98 balls, but his dismissal in the 48th over left the visitors short of the target and handed the hosts both the match and the series.

The victory caps a hard-fought contest that saw the sides trade wins in the opening two games, setting up a winner-takes-all finale. Bangladesh held their nerve in the closing stages to restrict Pakistan and claim the trophy in front of a jubilant home crowd.
