Mashud leads Bangladesh to victory

Khaled Mashud's unbeaten 37 led Bangladesh to a four-wicket victory over the Queensland Academy of Sport at Innisfail on Thursday. The visitors were also indebted to Alok Kapali (36) and Hannan Sarkar (35) as they made heavy weather of a modest target of 176.

Habibul Hossain, with 3 for 39, and Khaled Mahmud - 2 for 33 - were the stars with the ball as the Academy were kept to 175 for 7 earlier in the day. Bangladesh play the first of three one-day internationals against Australia at Cairns on Saturday.
