KARACHI: Pakistan Shaheens tightened their grip on the first four-day match against Bangladesh A in Darwin, setting a mammoth target of 428 runs after a dominant day with both bat and ball.
Bangladesh A, resuming on 203-4, managed to add only 63 runs before being dismissed for 266. Khurram Shahzad was the wrecker-in-chief, claiming 6-72 with his express pace. Mohammad Ali took 2-64.
Needing quick runs, Pakistan Shaheens lost early wickets, but Omair Bin Yousuf (100*) and Mubasir Khan (95) steadied the ship. The duo stitched a crucial 170-run partnership, taking the score past 400. Omair notched his 11th first-class century. The declaration came soon after Omair’s ton, setting Bangladesh an improbable target.
