Pakistan defeat Bangladesh
Related Articles
20 January 2007
Shoaib Malik's team completed a clean sweep of Group F, having previously seen off Sri Lanka and Australia, and will now face the second-placed team of Group E - either South Africa, India or New Zealand.
Shahid Afridi charged Pakistan towards their modest 141-run victory target with a typically pugnacious 39, off only 15 deliveries.
Earlier, Bangladesh's teenage opener Junaid Siddique revelled on his international debut but there was little in support of a fine 71, from only 49 deliveries.
The left-hander struck six fours and three sixes but his 10 colleagues managed just one other boundary between them as Pakistan's spinners suffocated the scoring with regular wickets.
Aftab Ahmed was second top scorer with 15, one of only three other Bangladesh players to reach double figures but it was never going to be enough against a Pakistan side now brimming with confidence.
