Nahida Akter: "Each and every bowler bowled really well. We just bowled to our plan. If we bat normally, we can easily achieve the target."

5.45pm Pakistan were hardly in the game this afternoon. Marufa shocked them with back-to-back blows in the very first over after they opted to bat, and it was only the 42-run stand for the third wicket when the Pakistan batters looked a little assured. Marufa was the only pace bowler Bangladesh used today, and the five spinners took the rest of the eight wickets between them. It's a big opportunity for Bangladesh to start their World Cup with a win - they have plenty of time to score just 130 - so join Shashwat for the chase soon.

Shorna Akter to Sadia Iqbal, OUT, gone!! Taken at mid-on. Sadia looks to go for the big hit, but perishes. Shorna has her third wicket, as she gives the ball some air, and gets it to dip on a full length wide-ish of off. Sadia went swinging at it, but only ballooned it as far as mid-on, where the fielder turned halfway to her right, and stretched her hands out to grab the ball

Marufa Akter to Diana Baig, 1 run, Baig skips down the pitch, and has a hoick at this length ball outside off. But it stays low and she gets a bottom edge. There's a fumble by the keeper, though, and Pakistan get a run

Marufa Akter to Sadia Iqbal, 3 runs, shorter side of a length just outside off, and punched to point. The batters push for a single, and there's a direct hit at the striker's end from the fielder. Bangladesh appeal for run-out even as the ball dribbles away to allow two extra runs as overthrow. The umpire rules it not out by herself, so there will be no need for the third umpire
