Shakib Al Hasan impressed with his all-round show once again as Bangladesh beat Afghanistan to keep their semi-final hopes alive. Here's a look at statistical highlights from the match.
Led by Shakib Al Hasan's all-round brilliance, Bangladesh comfortably beat Afghanistan at The Rose Bowl in Southampton on Monday. Asked to bat first in overcast conditions, Bangladesh scored 262/7 in their 50 overs, with Shakib and Mushfiqur Rahim slamming important half-centuries.
In reply, Afghanistan's promising start was undone by Shakib — this time with the ball — as he ran through the opposition's top-order with his intelligent variations of length and pace. He finished with a well-deserved five-wicket haul and Bangladesh lived to fight another day for a semi-final spot.
