Shoriful Islam has played a great role in Bangladesh staging a comeback in the ongoing match 7 of the ICC World Cup 2023. The game is taking place at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala, where both teams have displayed a high brand of cricket.
After a carnage by England???s top order, the onus was on the power hitters to take them past 400 runs. However, that wasn???t possible as Bangladesh bowlers in particular Shoriful Islam bowled magnificently well and put pressure on the defending champions.
Of all the wickets he took, the scalp of Liam Livingstone was one to praise as he used his mind well. Shoriful Islam deceived Liam Livingstone with a slower. The batter had no clue to it and saw his stumps getting shattered.
Shoriful Islam bowled a cutter that angeled in after pitching. Liam Livingstone played for a straighter line and missed it. The ball went past his bat and went on to uproot the off stump. Here???s the video:

England were asked to bat first and they had a fiery start with the bat. Jonny Bairstow (52) and Dawid Malan (140) took bowlers to the cleaners and smashed them all over the park. After the wicket of Bairstow, Joe Root (82) asserted his authority.
But in search of quick runs, England lost wickets in clusters and Bangladesh were back in the game. Captain Jos Buttler (20) and Harry Brook (20) played shots but couldn???t carry on. Small contributions from the lower order powered them to a total of 364 runs.
Shoriful Islam picked three wickets whereas Mahedi Hasan was the pick of the bowlers as he bagged a four-wicket haul. Taskin Ahmed and skipper Shakib Al Hasan also picked one wicket each.
