Bangladesh vs Afghanistan, ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 Stats Review: Shakib continues to soar as records tumble in Tigers' win

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.
