World T20 cricket: Pakistan beat Bangladesh to reach Super Eights



Pakistan easily chased down a daunting target to beat Bangladesh by eight wickets and surge into the Super Eights of the World Twenty20.
Needing a 36-run win to progress at Pakistan's expense, Bangladesh were given hope by Shakib Al Hasan's brilliant 84 in a total of 175-6.
But Imran Nazir (72) and Mohammad Hafeez (45) put on 124 for the first wicket to set Pakistan on their way.
Nasir Jamshed and Kamran Akmal wrapped up victory with eight balls to spare.
Pakistan's triumph rounded off the group stage of the tournament and booked them a spot in a Super Eight pool that also comprises fellow group winners Australia, India and South Africa.
England, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and West Indies make up the other group, with the top two teams in each progressing to the semi-finals.
