Wasim Akram picked up 4 wickets against Bangladesh in their maiden ODI match

Wasim Akram was the chief destroyer of the Bangladesh cricket team in their first ever ODI appearance. The year was 1986 and Bangladesh took on a strong Pakistan team at Moratuwa in an Asia Cup match. Akram picked up 4 wickets for 19 runs in his 9 overs and Bangladesh were bundled out for just 94 runs in 34.3 overs.

Pakistan chased down the target with ease in 32.1 overs and with 7 wickets remaining. It was a difficult beginning for Bangladesh in international cricket.
