Pakistan Shahid Afridi unleashed the kind of fury he is famous for after his openers Shahzaib Hasan and Imran Farhat built him a platform and launched Pakistan to their highest ODI score as they searched for their first victory in 2010.

Bangladesh however, belied a complete lack of purpose in both halves, as the match meandered to the kind of denouement that leaves the organisers concerned about the future of ODI cricket.

Match Summary:

Pakistan made - 385/7 in 50 overs (Afridi 124, Farhat 66, Islam 3-95)

Bangladesh made - 246/5 in 50 overs (Siddique 97, Kayes 66)

India vs Pakistan 4th Asia Cup Match Result - India won by 3 wickets

2010 Asia Cup Series, India beat Pakistan 4th Matches win 3 wickets, with 1 ball remaining, on Saturday, 19th June, 2010, at Dambulla. Pak made 267/all out; 49.3 overs while Ind made 271/7 in 49.5 overs. man of the Match is Gautam Gambhir who made 83 runs off 97 balls with 6 fours and 1 sixes.

Pakistan Their top three - Salman Butt, Imran Farhat and Shoaib Malik - had built a platform from where a total of 300 was probable, but a collapse eroded their position from 144 for 1 to 159 for 4. A regular fall of wickets thereafter, and especially the loss of Shahid Afridi and Adbul Razzaq before the batting Powerplay was underway, gave rise to the possibility of a total less than 250.

India needing three off two balls with tailenders batting - seemed improbable when Gautam Gambhir and MS Dhoni put on an exhibition of clinical accumulation during their partnership of 98, which left only 89 to get off the last 15 overs with eight wickets in hand. They ran hard, pierced gaps, and muscled pressure-relieving boundaries whenever the asking-rate crept over six an over.

Match Summary:

Pakistan made - 267/all out; 49.3 overs (Butt 74, Kamran 51, Kumar 3-53)

India made - 271/7 in 49.5 overs (Gambhir 83, Dhoni 56, Ajmal 3-56)

Toss - Pakistan, who chose to bat.

Man of the Match - Gautam Gambhir (India)

Result - India won by 3 wickets (with 1 ball remaining)
