At
first it was 5 for 2 then there was a resuscitation-work from Imrul Kayes and
Raqibul Hasan but then it was 71 for 4. The situation was not looking good and Bangladesh
needed something from their captain to get them out of this rut. As usual
Shakib didn’t dissatisfy us. He shone for Bangladesh
with the bat this time around.
Shakib
Al Hasan took little time to settle and started to play his shots in a carefree
manner and with the little Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib scripted a polished
partnership of 116 runs for the fifth wicket. The partnership was more about
well-timed singles, nudges and working the ball here and there with more brains
rather than rush of bloods. Shakib scored 73, while Rahim made 63.
The
foundation of a fighting total was made and the Bangladeshi lower order did
blazed to swell the Bangladeshi total and later on, the Zimbabweans just could
not cope against the guile of Abdur Razzak and Shafiul Islam.
Again,
it was that man Shakib Al Hasan.
Thank
You
