Pakistan Under-19s moved two points clear at the top of the Tri-Series table after Sami Aslam's century helped them to a convincing eight-wicket victory against Bangladesh.

The Pakistan captain's unbeaten 120 comfortably enabled his side to chase down Bangladesh's 192 all out, after electing to field in their third fixture of the competition.

Zia-ul-Haq removed Bangladesh opener Shahriar Sumon for one - the first of his three scalps.

Bangladesh were reduced to 55 for three before Sadman Islam and Jashimuddin doubled their side's score for the fourth wicket before the former was run out by Aslam.

Jashimuddin went on to a half-century before falling Zafar Gohar, and the remaining five wickets fell for 54 runs.

Pakistan were rarely troubled in their chase, with the opening partnership worth 107 when Imran Butt was run out for 34. 

Mehedy Hasan ousted Imam-ul-Haq for 13 but Hussain Talat stuck around until the end, offering support for his skipper who hit 17 fours and a six as he passed a hundred.

The two sides will square off again on Sunday, with England Under-19s next in action on Monday August 12 against Bangladesh.
