And just like that Pakistan look much more formidable, and Bangladesh will have to regroup quickly. This group is a tricky group to be in. Will wait and watch.
The action now shifts to Group A where England take on West Indies in Mumbai.
Mortaza: "200 was always difficult. After six overs it became almost impossible. Shakib batted really well and we got 150, so not so bad. Bengaluru wicket is flat so the bowlers need to come up with plans. Mustafizur is getting better, hopefully he'll be back."
Afridi: "My performance always plays a key role but I haven't done well recently. It's a big event and I should take responsibility as captain. Spoke with the coach regarding the batting order today and he was happy with me promoting myself. From last two-three series, our batsmen have struggled to find runs. But today they did well. Likes of Mohammad Hafeez and Ahmed Shehzad. Openers play a very important role. Sharjeel is a good attacking cricketer too. If he gets going, he can score 60 runs in the first six overs. I expect good things from him. We don't want to live in past. Need to play good cricket against India."
Bangladesh came into the game as favourites in many ways, but Pakistan were switched on and they have thumped Bangladesh. Pakistan's Achilles heel that is their batting came good, bolstered by Shehzad and Hafeez and then Afridi, they set a target of 202 which was always going to be tough considering the potent bowling attack of Pakistan.
19.6 Wahab to Mashrafe, no run, yorker outside off and Mashrafe misses it. That should be it. Pakistan have bossed right from the toss and have shrugged off Bangladesh.
17.4 Irfan to Mithun, OUT, short on off and Mithun tried to ramp it to third-man, where Amir takes the catch. Checking for the no-ball, Irfan has got one spike behind the line, and the decision is upheld.
