Rakibul’s last-ball four seals bronze medal for Bangladesh in Asian Games

Cricket

Arshad Iqbal‘s double-wicket jolt in the opening over of Bangladesh’s innings had given Pakistan the early advantage in the chase, but Afif Hossain‘s 11-ball 20 and Yasir Ali‘s 16-ball 38 brought Bangladesh back. Yasir very nearly took Bangladesh home himself, but his dismissal in the penultimate ball of the game made it a do-or-die final delivery for the incoming batter Rakibul. But Sufiyan Muqeem failed to defend 20 off the last over, with Yasir scoring 16 runs – including two sixes – off the first four balls, and Rakibul then finishing it off with a boundary.
