Bangladesh were starting off steadily after scoring 13 runs from the first four overs, but it was Zia-Ul-Haq from Pakistan who struck first taking the wicket of Shahriar Sumon, who departed only after scoring 1 run. Soon after, the new man in, Shanto was bowled after scoring 16 runs. From here on, Bangladesh had a very wayward innings. Opener, Islam, was just watching his partners on the other end show promise and then collapse. Islam scored an important 46 and the only other person with an innings worth mentioning was wicket keeper Jashimuddin with his half-century. Apart from these two, Bangladesh were strangled for a mere 192 from 44.1 overs.

10-192 Joyraz Sheik, 48.6 overs

With a small target to chase, Pakistan took their time about reaching this total. They had only scored 19 runs off the first 10 overs. But they quickly picked up the pace with Captain Sami Aslam and Imran Butt accelerating the innings to help them reach 80/0 after 25 overs. However, only three overs later, Imran Butt departed after scoring 34 runs. It was then Imam-Ul-Haq who provided the aggressive intent while the Captain made sure strike was rotating. However, Imam-Ul-Haq departed after a quick-fire 13. It was then the Captain and Hussain Talat, who wrapped up the show for Pakistan.
