DHAKA: Pakistani spinner Abdur Rehman was stopped from bowling during Pakistan’s Asia Cup match against Bangladesh for bowling three consecutive ‘beamers.’
The Pakistani spinner came to bowl in the 11th over of the match and delivered three consecutive no-balls which were higher than the batsmen waist. The umpire stopped Rehman from bowling the rest of his over.
Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim won the toss and decided to bat in a must-win Asia Cup match. Behind brilliant batting Bangladesh set a 327 run target for Pakistan.
Bangladesh have lost both their matches so far -- against India and Afghanistan -- and made five team changes in their bid to remain in the tournament.
Pakistan, who need to win to meet Sri Lanka in Saturday´s final, were forced to replace injured opener Sharjeel Khan with middle-order batsman Fawad Alam in their line-up which beat India by one wicket on Sunday.
