Shakib al Hasan plays a shot in their World Cup match against South Africa on Sunday at Oval. The Tigers made sure the world takes notice as they outshined the Proteas across all three departments. In the 2007 edition of the World Cup, Bangladesh stunned the world after they beat tournament favourites India comprehensively by five wickets in their opening match. In 2015, the ace all-rounder registered 63 against Afghanistan and now, the starlet has kept his record intact by scoring a comfortable 75 against South Africa on Sunday. If the stats were of any indication of Bangladesh’s performance in this year’s World Cup, their advancement to the next stage, the semi-finals seem to be on the cards.
