Shakib Al Hasan has been brilliant for his side as he has amassed 542 runs in the tournament – as he is the second highest run-getter of the tournament. Furthermore, he has scalped 11 wickets in the seven innings of the tournament.

Meanwhile, one good news for Bangladesh is Mahmudullah’s recovery. The right-hander is on the right path to recovery as he had suffered a calf injury against Afghanistan and could not play in the must-win match against India. The right-hander has been a pivotal cog in Bangladesh’s wheel as he can provide the finishing touches to the team.
