Pakistan vs Bangladesh, Cricket World Cup 2019 LIVE score
Venue: Lord's
Date: Friday, July 5, 2019
Start: 10:30am BST
Pakistan coasted to a 94-run World Cup victory over Bangladesh at Lord's - but bow out of the competition after failing to produce the unlikely margin of victory needed to claim a semi-final spot.
Captain Sarfaraz Ahmed had admitted Pakistan would need a "miracle" to pull off the minimum 316-run victory required to leapfrog New Zealand and into the last four.
And so it proved, as Pakistan could only muster 315 for nine with the bat from their full 50 overs.
Imam-Ul-Haq hit exactly 100, while Babar Azam punched his way to 96.
Shaheen Afridi plundered six wickets for 35 runs as Bangladesh's lower-order were blown away, with Shadab Khan taking two for 59 too.

What they said
Pakistan coach Mickey Arthur
"I would have liked the ICC to consider head to head because tonight we would be in the semi-final.
"It is disappointing, and it just goes back to the first game against the West Indies.
"And we had an opportunity to beat Australia, and we didn't take that. Those are the two nightmares I'm going to have.
"What the system has done to us is that one very poor game and you really battle to recover again.
"So it's a very disappointed dressing room, no congratulations going on because we haven't qualified."
