Shuvo was the star performer to give Bangladesh a second consecutive win in four matches as he smashed an unbeaten 62-ball 67, after claiming four wickets for 52 in his 10-over spell. Bangladesh put an end to their two-match losing streak after outplaying Zimbabwe by nine wickets on Tuesday.

Opener Tamim Iqbal, the younger brother of national opener Nafees Iqbal, laid the foundation with his back-to-back half-century as Bangladesh coasted to 255-9 in 47.4 overs, in reply to Pakistan's 252 all out in 49.1 overs.

The left-handed batsman smote 11 fours and a six in his 63-ball innings while Mehdi Hasan contributed 36 runs.

The match went down to the wire when Dollar Mahmud returned to the pavilion as a ninth batsman, with seven runs still needed for Bangladesh to snatch a victory. Nabil Samad had successfully negotiated the final scene with Shuvo, to stun their Pakistani counterparts.

Earlier Pakistan rode on a 75-run knock by Ali Khan to set a challenging total of 252, after being put into bat first by Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim.

Occasional left-arm spinner Mehrab Hossain was the other successful Bangladesh bowler taking three wickets for 27 runs in 2.4 overs.

Chief selector Faruque Ahmed, who is now with the team as manager, was excited by the youngsters' performances in the match, especially the way they chased a huge total.

"It was not easy to chase a huge total on the low-bouncing wicket but the young guys showed unbelievable temperament, which is not common in our cricket," excited Faruque told the Daily Star Sport over the telephone.

The former national captain heaped much praised on young opener Tamim. "It was a fantastic experience for me to watch such brilliant batting from a young Bangladeshi batsman (Tamim). I tell you he could be a dangerous batsman because he has the potential," he said.

"Shuvo also did a brilliant job to turn the match in our favour. I was pleasantly surprised by his attitude during the game. The way he kept his nerve in the middle was unbelievable," he added.

Faruque, however, was a little bit frustrated with the fact that Bangladesh has no chance to qualify for the final despite the two consecutive wins, as India and Sri Lanka are already set for a November 27 final.

"But we will try to win our last match against a very strong South Africa because it will help us in the coming triangular series at home," said Faruque, adding that the Under-19 team for the tri-nation series will be finalised today.
