Bangladesh would have thought they were in a position to claw themselves back into Asia Cup 2014 final contention after posting an impressive 326 for three in their 50 overs - their highest ever ODI total.
But then, they did not expect Pakistan, with the somebody-stop-me Shahid Afridi, the man who won the game for his side against India on Sunday, yet again making the impossible seem simple, to pull off a sensational chase, and with it book a place in the final against Sri Lanka.
The win gave Pakistan their third win in four matches, taking them to the second position of the table with thirteen points. Sri Lanka are leading the list and still have two games in hand.
Here’s the updated points table and team standings for Asia Cup 2014 tournament:
