The last day match in the five-match ODI series kicks off at 10:30am (BST) with both Bangladesh Television and satellite channel Ten Sports providing live coverage.

Although the Tigers crashed to a 137-runs defeat in the first ODI at Multan, there was no lack of local interest as the match at the 22,000-capacity Iqbal Stadium is already a sell-out.

Pakistani fans have started to come out in numbers after seeing the tourists push the home side all the way in the three-match Test series.

But Bangladesh's dream of winning their first one-day match since their famous 62-run victory against the same opponents at the 1999 World Cup remains as distant as ever. They have lost 38 out of 40 matches since then with two being rained off.

Besides, the defeat in the first match without a fight showed that Khaled Mahmud's men still lack the maturity in the instant version of the game compared to their rapid improvement in the longer version.

"This time it won't happen. I can assure all that we are going to be more competitive tomorrow (Friday)," said Bangladesh captain Khaled Mahmud after the team's final practice yesterday.

Terming Pakistan as a strong batting side Mahmud said that he expected his opening bowlers to grab some wickets in the first 10 overs to at least slow the scoring.

"We have worked a lot on the Pakistani batsmen. Hopefully, our homework will do the trick this time," said Mahmud without elaborating.

He said that there would be one change from the team that played in Multan with experienced right-arm paceman Hasibul Hossain coming in for Sanwar Hossain.

Commenting on the wicket, the Bangladesh captain said that the pitch would be as batting-friendly as it was in Multan.

"Let's hope our batsmen put the runs on the board this time," said Mahmud, adding that there would be no change at the top provided that all-rounder Mushfiqur Rahman is fit enough to play.

"He (Mushfiq) has pulled a thigh muscle during the last match. And if he is not fit then Hannan Sarker will open with Ashraful with Bashar batting at his usual number three position," Mahmud said.

His Pakistan counterpart Inzamamul Haq once again reiterated his vow of completing a 5-0 whitewash. "We are aiming to be consistent in this series. We want to carry on with the performance we put up in Multan.

"Pakistan's main problem has been its consistency in this form of the game. I think, this series gives us a good opportunity to do be consistent in all departments of the game."
