Trading in ducks destroyed Bahrain

Bangladesh Vs Bahrain

The match commenced at the National Bank Ltd. Ground in Karachi. The manner in which the Bahrain's team showed its incompetence and lack of courage to face the Bangladesh bowling indicated it to be a one sided affair. To the horror of cricket fans the match designed to last 90 overs finished in less than 20 overs, with Bangladesh defeating Bahrain by 10 runs.

The Bahrain's innings was a touch and go affair. They had more ducks in the team than players, letting 6 of them loose to walk about in the field and search for a pond to dip in.

Except for Haroon Naseer who was run out after playing a thrilling knock of 35 in 29 balls, the remaining players fell like the autumn leaves. The second highest being Asif Siddique with 5 runs. The whole side crumbled for 52 in 13.4 overs. Sharif ul Islam grabbed 4 wickets for only 2 runs while Talha Jubair clinched 3 for 25.

A victory target of 53 being peanuts for Bangladesh, they achieved it in 6 overs without losing a wicket. The two openers Nafees Iqbal (32) and Mohammad Ashraful (12) plus 9 extras made up the target to bring a glorious victory to Bangladesh.
