Pakistan eke out Asia Cup triumph
CRICKET: Bangladesh came within a whisker of their first major trophy at the Asia Cup but were beaten by just two runs in the final against Pakistan. Fast-bowler Shahadat Hossain needed four off the last ball to hand the hosts an unlikely victory but earned only a leg-bye. Wicketkeeper Sarfraz Ahmed’s final-over 19 proved decisive as Pakistan made 236-9.
