|| CF DESK ||
Despite Bangladesh's disappointing performance in the second game of the three-match T20I series, Shakib Al Hasan performed consistently, taking a wicket and scoring a half-century with the bat.
Shakib remained unbeaten with 68* off 52 balls and became the second Bangladeshi batter after Mahmudullah Riyad to score 2,000 T20I runs.
Shakib completed his 2,000 T20I runs in the match and became the first player in history to get 2k runs and grab 100 wickets in the format.
Only Pakistan's Mohammad Hafez has 2,000 runs and 50 wickets in the T20 format.
