PAK vs BAN, 3rd T20I: Mohammad Haris hits maiden hundred as Pakistan whitewashes Bangladesh
Mohammad Haris hit a swashbuckling maiden international century to guide Pakistan to a 3-0 clean sweep of Bangladesh with a seven-wicket win in the third and final Twenty20 International in Lahore on Sunday.
Haris, playing in his 17th T20I, carted seven sixes and eight boundaries in his 107 off just 46 balls as Pakistan chased down a challenging 197-run target in 17.2 overs for its first home T20I series win in three-and-a-half years.
Pakistan won the first two matches by 37 and 57 runs at the same venue.
Parvez Hossain smashed four sixes and seven boundaries in his solid 34-ball 66 to lift Bangladesh to 196 for six in its 20 overs.
Pakistan lost Sahibzada Farhan for one in the first over but Haris, whose hundred came up off 45 balls, added 92 for the second wicket with Saim Ayub and an unbroken 60 for the fourth with Salman Agha, who made 15 not out.
Ayub hit four sixes and two boundaries in his 29-ball 45 while Hasan Nawaz scored a 13-ball 26 as the home batters enthralled a near-capacity 30,000 crowd at Gaddafi Stadium.
Earlier, Parvez shared a 110-run opening stand with Tanzid Hasan (32-ball 42 with three sixes and as many boundaries) after the tourists were sent in to bat.
The Parvez-Tanzid stand gave Bangladesh an ideal start for its highest T20I total against Pakistan, beating the 175 for six it made against it at Pallekele in 2012.
Towhid Hridoy, who scored 25 from 18 balls with a six and two boundaries, then added 49 for the third wicket with Litton Das, who made 22.
Fast bowlers Abbas Afridi (2-26) and Hasan Ali (2-38) were the pick of the home bowlers.

England team beat London traffic 'in style' as West Indies get caught in chaos; arrive at The Oval on cycles
The third and final ODI between England and the West Indies at The Oval witnessed a delay in the toss owing to a bizarre reason. The Shai Hope-led squad had apparently reached the venue late as they were stuck in heavy traffic in London, resulting in a considerable delay. However, as the development went viral on social media, England Cricket's social media page revealed how their players beat the traffic to reach the venue on time. In the 23-second clip captioned, "Arriving at the ground in style. Only one way to beat the road closures in London," England cricket showed that the players managed to negate the heavy traffic by arriving at the stadium on cycles. "We were on the bus for a while and then we all decided to get off and get on some lime bikes in. We were in a little bit earlier than the West Indies boys, but we are here now ready to go," England captain Harry Brook later said at the time of the toss. West Indies players were late to the venue by almost 15 minutes, which resulted in the toss being delayed by 40 minutes. However, no overs were lost. England opted to bowl first in the final game of the series, with Brook making no changes to the playing XI. "We haven't had a chat yet but it's going to be 'let's try to be as dominant as possible.' We have got an opportunity here to try and win the series 3-0 and we're going to giving it our best crack. There was one area - Root's big score - something we didn't have in the first game which is really nice to see. Hopefully a few other lads can have that as well today. I quite like the balance that we've got, we've got a lot of depth with the bat and that gives us opportunities to chase scores like that down the other day where we had a tough start. We've got a good bowling unit as well," he said. West Indies made two changes with Evin Lewis and Shamar Joseph coming in. "We were a lot more competitive (in the previous game), the chats that we had before the game, we definitely executed a lot better with both bat and ball. I just want to see the same again today and hopefully we get a win today. A bit more clinical with our tactics, taking each moment as they come, executing those plans and make sure that we have that positive mindset that we always speak about and be as consistent as possible," Hope said. West Indies, who lost both the first two matches, are aiming for a consolation win in London, before the proceedings head to the T20I series, which will also comprise three matches.
