Hangzhou: After being eliminated from the Asia Cup without reaching the finals, the Pakistan cricket team returned empty-handed in the Asian Games cricket. The Pakistan team lost to Afghanistan in the semi-finals yesterday and failed to reach the final and lost to Bangladesh in the bronze medal match. With this, Pakistan team is returning from China empty-handed without any medals in cricket.
Today’s battle for third place was delayed due to rain. The match was later reduced to five overs each. Batting first, Pakistan scored 48 runs for the loss of one wicket in five overs. Bangladesh’s target was revised to 65 runs in five overs as rain came once more following Pakistan’s innings.
After losing two wickets in the first over, Bangladesh scored 45 runs for the loss of three wickets in the first four overs and needed 20 runs in the last over and four runs in the last ball to win. Bangladesh player Yasil Ali gave hope as he hit the first ball of the last over bowled by Sufiyan McWeem for a six. Yasir scored two runs off the second ball and hit the third ball once more for a six.
If Shubman Gill is the opener, the Aussies will be afraid, but if Ishan Kishan is the opener, the former Aussies captain says that there is no need to be afraid.
They scored two runs in the fourth ball but with Yasir Ali out in the fifth ball, Bangladesh needed four runs to win off the last ball. Rakibul Hasan, who came to the crease in place of Yasir Ali, hit a boundary on the very first ball he faced to give Bangladesh a memorable win and the bronze medal. India and Afghanistan will face each other in today’s gold medal match.
