In the match against India, Shakib Al Hasan who had figures of 66(76 Balls 4x6and 1/41(10 Overs)etched his name into the record books, becoming the first player ever to score 500 runs and take 5 wickets in the CWC
He has been in excellent touch in this tournament and has scored 542 runs and has taken 11 wickets in the 7 matches he has played so far.
In the match against India on Tuesday July 02,2019, Shakib took one wicket and got the required 24 runs, becoming the first player in the history of the World Cup to score 500 runs and take five wickets. He has been on a roll in this tournament and has been clinical in many of Bangladesh’s victories.
His most impactful knock came against the West Indies, where he scored 104 runs not out, helping his side chase the mammoth total of 322 in just 41.3 overs. Shakib had an injury prior to the game against the Windies and his absence would have meant a big jolt to Bangladesh’s chances.
With a huge total of 315 runs set by the Indians for the Bangladeshis to chase, Shakib would have surely looked to hang around till the end and see his side through. But, he was dismissed off a slower delivery by Hardik Pandya in the 34th over. He scored a gritty half-century, trying his best to see his side through, but it was not his day today.
