his fifth one-day century and Rahim smashed 13 fours and two sixes after being dropped by Junaid Khan when he was on 35.
The match marked the start of a new era for Pakistan cricket following the one-day retirement of skipper Misbah-ul Haq and senior all-rounder Shahid Afridi after the World Cup.
The current team comprised just four players who took part in the World Cup, giving new ODI captain Azhar Ali a relatively inexperienced bunch of tourists.
Azhar led Pakistan’s batting charge with 72 off 73 runs after first two wickets had fallen for 59 runs.
Azhar shared a third-wicket stand of 89 runs with Haris Sohail to give Pakistan a glimmer of hope, before Taskin removed both batsmen.
Haris hit 51 off 64 balls, but after his departure only debutant Mohammad Rizwan defied the Bangladesh bowlers with a fluent 67.
The match swung decisively Bangladesh’s way when Sunny dismissed Fawad Alam (14) and debutant Saad Nasim in the 40th over.
Taskin finished with three for 42 and left-arm spinner Sunny took three for 47 runs.
Azhar promised a better outing in the next match.
“We made some mistakes in the field and dropped catches at the wrong time, but the credit goes to the Bangladesh batsmen,” he said. “I think we conceded 30 to 40 runs more than we should have.
“But there were some positives for us too. I thought Rizwan batted soundly in his first match. We will rectify our mistakes and come back strongly in the next game.” The second and third one-dayers will also be held at the same venue on April 17 and 22.
