DHAKA: Bangladesh whitewashed Pakistan beating the visitors by eight wickets in 3rd and last match of ODI series in Dhaka Wednesday.

Bangladesh 251 for 2 (Sarkar 127*, Tamim 64, Mushfiqur 49*, Junaid 2-67) beat Pakistan 250 (Azhar 101, Haris 52, Shakib 2-34, Sunny 2-43, Mashrafe 2-44) by eight wickets.

Soumya Sarkar blasted a maiden ODI hundred and put on 145 with Tamim Iqbal as Bangladesh wrapped up a 3-0 series whitewash in emphatic fashion.

Tigers won by eight wickets, with more than 10 overs to spare, but such a margin was only possible because of a spectacular collapse from Pakistan.

Azhar Ali's 101, the first ODI century by a Pakistan captain in nearly five years, and his stands of 91 and 98 with Sami Aslam and Haris Sohail had taken Pakistan to 203 for 2 in the 39th over.

They looked all set for a dash to a 300-plus total, but they lost their last eight wickets for 47 runs and set a distinctly below-par target of 251.
