Bangladesh beat Afghanistan by 62 runs

23:08 (IST)

Bangladesh stay alive in the World Cup with a big win over Afghanistan! And the credit for the win largely belongs to Shakib Al Hasan. Others also pitched in with runs and wicket, especially Msuhfiqur Rahim's 83 helped Bangladesh reach 262 on a difficult pitch batting first. But Shakib will dominate the headlines tomorrow. He continued his good form with the bat as he scored 51 and then returned to take five wickets. Second player to do so in a World Cup match after Yuvraj Singh. 

We have a great game coming up tomorrow. England will face arch-rivals Australia. So, it's time for us to leave. Good night! 

23:01 (IST)

Mortaza: The crowd has been fantastic. He (Shakib) has been fantastic throughout the tournament. He has been phenomenal. The partnership between Mushy and Shakib was important, as the track wasn't easy to bat on. Tamim batted well in the top order. We still have a week's time so hopefully he (Mahmudullah) will be fit by then.

22:59 (IST)

Gulabdin Naib, Afghanistan captain: Today we were not good in the field and we gave away 30-40 runs. The wicket was slow but got easy to bat on in second innings. But all the credit to Shakib. The plan to send Ikram ahead of Najibullah was to keep the scoreboard ticking. We wanted to hold him back because he is a good hitter. We have done a lot of good things in the tournament. To do well in such a tournament, you need to prepare well.

22:52 (IST)

Shakib: It's been great throughout this World Cup. We started well so the fans have been behind us. I think the five wickets gave me more pleasure. I had to work really hard for the fifty. Mushfiq played an important knock, without him we wouldn't have got to 262. We knew it was going to be tough with their three spinners, so it needed a team effort. I did work really hard before the tournament, I was well prepared.

22:50 (IST)

Shakib Al Hasan is the Man of the Match for his knock of 51 and bowling figures of 5/29

22:48 (IST)

A comfortable victory for Bangladesh. They live to fight for another day. Currently they have climbed to the fifth position at the point's table thanks to this 'Shakib's special'.

Bangladesh vs Afghanistan LIVE SCORE, ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 Match: Bangladesh beat Afghanistan by 62 runs! Saifuddin completes the formality by rattling the stumps of Mujeeb. Afghanistan have been bowled out for 200. Bangladesh stay alive in the tournament.

Preview: Mashrafe Mortaza-led Bangladesh will look to inch closer to the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 semi-finals when they face an already-eliminated Afghanistan side on Monday.

The Tigers have had an up and down tournament so far, having beaten only South Africa and West Indies despite showcasing some spirited performances.

And without a doubt, all eyes will be on Shakib Al Hasan, who has scored 425 runs in five matches and sit second in the leading run-scorers’ list.
Afghanistan, meanwhile, went down fighting to favourites India on Saturday, as they failed to chase down a target of 225, falling short by 11 runs.

Their flexibility of the batting order remains a question, with the Afghans going down to 213 all out from 64-2.

Mohammad Nabi was the standout performer for the Afghans with the bat, scoring 52 runs. He, along with captain Gulbadin Naib, picked two wickets each on Saturday.
