KOLKATA: Pakistan's Mohammad Hafeez and Ahmed Shehzad struck half centuries and skipper Shahid Afridi came up with a breezy cameo to propel their team to 201-5 against Bangladesh in a Group Two Super 10 stage match at the World Twenty20 on Wednesday.

Opting to bat first, Pakistan lost opener Sharjeel Khan (18) cheaply but Hafeez (64) and Shehzad (52) added 95 runs to lay the foundation for a 200-plus total.

Shahid Afridi (49) promoted himself up the batting order to number four and clobbered four sixes in his 19-ball innings before falling in the final over.

Bangladesh's left-arm spinner Arafat Sunny, who was reported for a suspect bowling action earlier in the tournament, claimed 2-34 but it was otherwise a forgettable outing for their bowling attack.
