Bangladesh reach 175 at T20 World Cup

Bangladesh have set Pakistan a victory target of 176 runs in their T20 World Cup encounter in Pallekele this afternoon.

Shakib Al Hasan was the main run-scorer for Bangladesh as he made a brisk 84 from just 54 deliveries.

Mushfiqur Rahim (25) and Tamim Iqbal (24) also helped their side reach 175 runs for the loss of six wickets.

As a result, Pakistan need to make at least 140 runs from their 20 overs to ensure that their net run rate is good enough to progress through to the Super Eights at the expense of their opponents.
