Not exactly a day most Pakistanis would want to remember. For Bangladesh, there was all to play for and prove a point in their first ever world Cup outing.
Pakistan won the toss at Northampton and put Bangladesh into bat. Apart from Akram Khan and Shahriar Hossain, the Bangladeshi batsmen weren't able to build upon their innings. Highest scorer from Bangladesh was Akram Khan (42), with the second highest being the 'Extras' - tallying 40, which included 28 wides and 7 no-balls. As a result, Pakistan were fined 1 over for maintaing a slow over rate. From Pakistan's side, Saqlain Mushtaq was the main bowler who stood out from the rest, finishing with figures of 5/35. On the other hand, Azhar Mahmood conceded 56 runs from his 8 overs.
Chasing 224 in 49 overs, the Pakistan innings never got going. Half the side was back in the pavillion with score on 42. The lower order consisting of Azhar Mahmood, Wasim Akram, Moin Khan, and Saqlain Mushtaq did the bulk of the scoring as Pakistan fell short by a considerable margin of 62 runs, being bowled out for 161 in 44.3 overs. The crowd invaded the ground and the celebrations were on.
For Bangladesh and its fans this day has a special place in their cricket history - a day in which they beat a major cricketing country.
