LONDON: Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza singled out batsman Shakib Al Hasan for praise after the side’s final match at the Cricket World Cup on Friday, a 94-run loss to Pakistan at Lord’s. That took his World Cup tally to a tournament-topping 606 runs – 62 more than second-placed Rohit Sharma of India who has played one fewer innings. I really feel sorry for him, not only the whole team,” Mashrafe told reporters. “The way he played, this team could have been in a different zone than where we are standing right now. To know our strengths, to know our weaknesses, and how can we improve our game going forward – it’s really a very exciting tournament,” Mashrafe said.
