Bangladesh’s Shakib Al Hasan Shines in 100-ball Cricket Live with Match-Winning Performance

Veteran All-rounder Leads Bangladesh to Crucial Victory

In a crucial match against the Netherlands at the ongoing T20 World Cup, Bangladesh’s veteran all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan showcased his class, leading his team to a crucial victory. Wearing a neck brace during the warm-up session, Shakib dispelled any concerns about his fitness and went on to deliver a match-winning performance, crediting the bowling unit for the team’s success.

Shakib, who had struggled with his form in the earlier matches, found his rhythm in the game against the Netherlands. He stood tall at the crease, unleashing a range of shots, including a cover drive, a series of powerful boundaries, and an unfamiliar straight-bat shot through the midwicket region, demonstrating his adaptability to the demands of blind cricket and club cricket.

“Our bowling unit is doing well consistently for a while now, especially the pace bowlers. Rishad’s addition has also worked for me,” Shakib said, highlighting the team’s collective effort. “Everyone did their job responsibly. Mustafizur, Taskin [Ahmed] and Tanzim [Hasan] have all bowled well, so it helps the rest of the attack too.”

The experienced duo of Shakib and Mahmudullah kept Bangladesh on course for a strong total, with Shakib reaching his first T20I fifty since October 2022 and his first in a T20 World Cup since 2016. The all-rounder’s unbeaten 68 off 46 balls proved pivotal in Bangladesh’s 25-run triumph.

The impressive performances of Rishad Hossain (3 for 33) and Mustafizur Rahman (1-12) were instrumental in restricting the Netherlands and turning the match in Bangladesh’s favor. Shakib’s mature innings, coupled with the disciplined bowling, showcased Bangladesh’s depth and resilience in the 100-ball cricket live tournament. The victory has put them in a strong position to advance to the Super Eight stage, with Shakib’s all-round contribution proving pivotal.
