Pakistan defeated Bangladesh on Tuesday with a 151-run margin in the latest match-up in the blind World T20 Championship 2017.

Pakistan, after winning the toss and batting first, posted a mammoth total of 295 runs for the loss of just two wickets.

Badar Munir and Riasat Khan put 147 runs for the opening stand and provided Pakistan a solid start.

Munir, however, lost his wicket just shy of a century on 93, but Khan went on to score a ton and remained not out till the end of the innings.

In reply, Bangladesh could only manage 144 for the loss of seven wickets in the prescribed 20 overs.

Abdul Malik was the highest scorer from the Bangladesh side with 61 runs.
