The 19-year-old became the youngest bowler to take six wickets in the history of the tournament, and gave up just 35 runs in the process - the best figures for a Pakistan bowler in the competition. Mustafizur went on to claim five Pakistan wickets for 75 runs. If we stepped up, the tournament could've been different," Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza told reporters. Based on their own score, Pakistan would have had to bowl out Bangladesh for no more than seven runs in order to do that.
