Mohammad Hafeez, Pakistan's newly appointed Twenty20 captain, has said that his side has missed out on the opportunity to enhance their skills by not being part of the IPL, but the team is focussed on their task in Sri Lanka

Virat Kohli's 183 off 148 balls led India to their highest-ever ODI run-chase, as they went past Pakistan's 329 in Mirpur

Misbah-ul-Haq says the pressure of a Pakistan-India clash also afforded players the opportunity to put in memorable performances

ESPNcricinfo looks back at the players who helped Pakistan to a famous whitewash over England with the spin bowlers and a fine captain to the fore

With little pace, little turn, little bounce and little chance of any reverse-swing, England's bowlers had to dry up runs to take wickets, and their patience went some way in making up for the first day's batting failure

On a pitch that, initially at least, offered little assistance to bowlers of any type, England's top order folded as meekly as a shy kitten in a room full of alligators

Mohammad Hafeez has predicted Pakistan's spinners can out-bowl their English counterparts and make the difference in the forthcoming Test series.

Spinners have played a much bigger role in ODIs than ever before, with teams using them successfully even in the early part of an innings

Bangladesh had an opportunity to end a losing streak against Pakistan that has lasted 12 years, but the visiting spinners were good enough to put the target of 178 far out of their reach

For the second time in two matches, Bangladesh's top-order batsmen collapsed quickly, this time playing rash shots on an easier pitch, and Pakistan secured the three-match series 2-0

At the interval, Bangladesh's spinners laid the groundwork for a confidence-building win at the start of the series, but those hopes fizzled out as Pakistan's varied attack proved far superior

Dinesh Chandimal has been fined 10% of his match fee, while Mohammad Hafeez has been reprimanded, both for showing dissent at the umpire's decision

For the second time in six days, a game was won and lost in the batting Powerplay, but this time Sri Lanka were at the receiving end
