Yousuf Youhana hit a sparkling 106 for Pakistan to pave the way for a crushing 74-run victory over Bangladesh in the second one-day international on Friday.

Youhana's ninth one-day century lifted Pakistan to a respectable 243 for eight before Bangladesh were bowled out for 169 in 42.1 overs, losing their last seven wickets for just 41 runs at the Iqbal stadium.

Pakistan lead the five-match series 2-0 after winning the opener in Multan by 137 runs.

Rajin Saleh (64) and Habibul Bashar (25) had given Bangladesh a glimmer of hope in their reply with a second-wicket stand of 82 before Umar Gul, Abdul Razzaq and Shoaib Malik regained control for Pakistan.

Gul and Razzaq picked up two wickets apiece and Malik finished with figures of three for 34 before 19-year-old Junaid Zia, in his second one-day international, cleaned up the tail with three for 21 in 4.1 overs.

Earlier, Pakistan, who won the toss for the second game in a row, were initially kept in check by the Bangladesh bowlers before Youhana and captain Inzamam-ul-Haq, with 41, stamped their authority.

Youhana, the last man out in the final over, barely broke sweat in a 127-ball knock that included seven fours and two sixes, despite the regular fall of wickets around him in front of a noisy capacity crowd.

PAKISTAN ROCKED

Bangladesh medium-pacer Mushfiqur Rahman rocked Pakistan in his first over, the innings' 10th, when he bowled Yasir Hameed for 15 with his second ball.

Two balls later, Mushfiqur had the other opener, Mohammad Hafeez, caught behind by wicketkeeper Khaled Mashud off a wide delivery to leave them struggling at 46 for two.

But Youhana and Inzamam than steadied the innings with a third-wicket partnership of 87 in 110 balls.

Both looked to up the rate after Pakistan passed the 100 mark, Inzamam hitting out after a quiet start as he whipped Rahman to square leg and then drove left-arm spinner Mohammad Rafique for another four before he was bowled by Rafique in the 29th over.

Youhana was then unable to cement any partnerships as part-time off-spinner Rajin Saleh picked up Younis Khan and Malik in successive overs before Razzaq also fell cheaply as Pakistan collapsed from 158 for three to 177 for six.

However, Youhana combined with wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal in a brisk 53-run stand before he was caught in the deep in the final over.
