Chattogram, November 30

Opener Abid Ali missed out his second century of the match but Pakistan comfortably chased down a 202-run target to beat Bangladesh by eight wickets in the first cricket Test here today.

Abid and Abdullah Shafique put on a 151-run partnership for the first wicket, their second 100-plus stand in the match, to give Pakistan’s chase a winning start. Abid, who scored 133 in the first innings, struck 12 boundaries and scored 91 off 148 deliveries in the second. Resuming Day 5 at 109 without loss, only 93 runs away from victory, Pakistan’s openers appeared to be in full control until off-spinner Mehidy Hasan struck. Shafique followed his first-innings half-century to reach 73 before Mehidy (1/59) trapped him lbw. Seven overs later, left-arm spinner Taijul Islam had Abid out. — PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
