Zaman keeps Pakistan alive at World Cup in rain-hit triumph
Set a mammoth 402-run target initially, Zaman lifted Pakistan to 160-1 after 21.3 overs before a 90-minute stoppage due to rain led to a revised target for Pakistan. After the resumption, Zaman kept up the tempo, hitting three sixes off spinner Ish Sodhi's 25th over as Pakistan went past the 200-mark. Zaman took the attack to the New Zealand bowlers, smashing four sixes and as many boundaries in his 39-ball fifty. He completed his 11th ODI hundred, and first in a World Cup, with a six and a single off Mitchell Santner. Wasim was the best Pakistan bowler with 3-60 but Shaheen Shah Afridi conceded 90 and Haris Rauf 85 respectively in their 10 overs -- the worst-ever figures by Pakistan bowlers in all World Cups.

Hasina urges calm as garment workers vandalise factories in deadly unrest for pay
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has urged garment workers to shun violence and return to work, suggesting that the BNP is behind violence during a campaign for a pay rise in the sector. Speaking at the launch of Dhaka Metro Rail’s Agargaon-Motijheel section on Saturday, Hasina said that during the BNP's rule from 1991 to 1996, the wage was only Tk 500 and the Awami League raised it when it came to power. She said that the BNP did not increase the wage at all after returning to power in 2001, and the Awami League raised the pay after 2009. Hasina called for patience among the RMG workers, noting that a wage board was working on their demands.

Khaled Mahmud sees no fighting spirit in Tigers
“I had said before coming to the World Cup that we would play in the semi-finals. The boys’ body language, playing style and everything made me believe Bangladesh would do very good in these conditions. We may not play the semis, or become the sixth, seventh or 10th team, but I didn’t see any fighting spirit,” Sujon said. Sujon, a former captain, also said he was not happy with the duties given to him by the Bangladesh Cricket Board. “I’m away from what I had done in the T20 World Cup.”
