Pakistan beat Bangladesh by 88 runs in the World Cup warm-up match on Tuesday.
Bangladesh, chasing the 286-run target set by Pakistan, were bowled out for 196 in the 42nd over at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur.
Teenage opener Ahmed Shehzad and Test skipper Misbahul Haq both smashed centuries as Pakistan piled up 285-9 in the first innings to set up the win.
All-rounder Abdul Razzaq was the leading wicket-taker for Pakistan with three wickets for 31 runs while Mohammad Hafeez took two wickets for 41 runs and left arm spinner Abdur Rehman took two for 21.
Captain Shahid Afridi and Wahab Riaz also took one wicket each.
Shehzad, just 19, top-scored with 103 off 122 balls with nine fours and one six while Misbah cracked a run-a-ball century with eight boundaries and four giant sixes.
Despite the pair’s pyrotechnics, Pakistan’s other batsmen failed to fire with the next best score being a modest 21 from opener Mohammad Hafeez.
Bangladesh used nine bowlers with skipper and slow left-armer Shakib Al Hasan taking 3-49 off his 10 overs.
Seamer Rubel Hossain also claimed three wickets, but his 10 overs cost 73 runs.
