Naim and Litton are living up to the "super four" tag of this game. 

Boundary after boundary after boundary in the second overs delivered by Naseem and Shaheen. Naim hacks boundaries on both sides of the boundary but Litton does what he‍‍`s become famous for, smacking those exquisite cover drives that sound oh-so-sweet, writes ESPN Cricinfo.

However, Litton who is replaced by last match century maker Najmul Hossain Shanto,  got down after adding 16 to scoreboard in 13 balls against Pakistan in the first match of super four round. 

Bangladesh lost wickets of Mohammad Naim, Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Towhid Hridoy as well. 

After 10 overs, Bangladesh collected 49 runs, loosing 4 wickets, at 4.9.

Skipper Shakib Al Hasan and wicketkeeper Mushfiqur Rahim were in crease.

Bangladesh have won the toss and opted to bat first in their first Super Four match of the Asia Cup against Pakistan in Lahore.
