Asia Cup 2018: Super Four, Match - 6, Bangladesh vs Pakistan - Statistical Highlights

So, the winners of ICC Champions Trophy 2018, Pakistan were out of Asia Cup 2018, and it is once again India vs Bangladesh in the final of the tournament.

However, it was a disappointing performance by Pakistan cricket, who left the critical moments of the game for Bangladesh, eventually seeing themselves getting out of the Asia Cup 2018. Meanwhile, there are quite a few statistics registered during the game.

It was a top-notch effort from Mashrafe Mortaza-led side. Though they got initial jolts while batting first, Mushfiqur Rahim and Mohammed Mithun once again stood tall to put Bangladesh in the commanding position.

However, they lost their plot in the end, who set 240 runs as the target for Pakistan.
