KINGSTOWN: Bangladesh pacer Tanzim Hasan Sakib set a unique record during his side’s 21-run victory over Nepal in a low-scoring ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 clash here at Arnos Vale Ground on Sunday.

Sakib played an important role in Bangladesh’s victory and earned the man of the match award for his brilliant bowling figures of 4-7.

During this fiery four-over spell, he bowled 21 dot balls, which is the most by any bowler in a T20 World Cup game.

The previous record for the most dot balls bowled in a T20 World Cup match was jointly held by seven bowlers, all of whom bowled 20 dot balls, including New Zealand’s Trent Boult and South Africa’s Ottneil Baartman in the ongoing edition.

Tanzim Hasan Sakib, while defending a modest total of 106, provided the breakthrough with the new ball, dismissing Kushal Bhurtel (4) and Anil Shah (0) in the third over with nine runs on the board.

He added two more wickets to his tally, while Mustafizur Rahman also contributed with a wicket to reduce Nepal to 26-5 in seven overs.

Kushal Malla and Dipendra Singh Airee then knitted a cautious 52-run partnership to force Nepal’s comeback, however, Rahman removed Malla to break the partnership.

Malla top-scored for Nepal with a scratchy 27-run knock from 40 balls, which featured one four and one six.

Meanwhile, Airee scored 25 off 31 with the help of two boundaries and one six before falling prey to Rahman in the next over.

Shakib Al Hasan bowled the last over, taking two wickets in two balls to close Nepal’s innings at 85.

This victory propelled Bangladesh to become the second team from Group D to qualify for the Super 8 stage of the tournament alongside South Africa.

NEW YORK: Heinrich Klaasen’s 46-run knock, followed by Keshav Maharaj’s last-over heroice helped South Africa register a narrow four-run victory over Bangladesh in a thrilling ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 clash here on Monday.

With this victory, South Africa booked their place in the Super Eight stage of the T20 World Cup 2024, having six points from three games.

Chasing a modest target of 114, Bangladesh managed only 109 courtesy of Maharaj’s double-wicket last over.

Bangladesh lost the opening batter Tanzid Hasan in the second over with nine runs on the board.

Najmul Hossain Shanto then added 20 runs from 25 balls with Litton Das (9) for the second wicket before Maharaj struck to remove the latter.

Meanwhile, Anrich Nortje dismissed Shakib Al Hasan (3) and Shanto in consecutive overs to reduce Bangladesh to 50-4 in 9.5 overs. Shanto scored a scratchy 23-ball 14.

Towhid Hridoy and Mahmdullah then attempted to bring Bangladesh back into the match with a 44-run partnership from 45 balls.

With 20 required off 18 balls, Bangladesh looked like favourites to win the game, however, South African bowlers pulled things to clinch a thrilling victory.

Kagiso Rabada dismissed Hridoy on the first ball of the 18th over and gave away only two runs in the over, leaving Bangladesh to chase 18 off 12.

Hridoy top-scored for Bangladesh with a 37-run knock from 34 balls, laced with two boundaries and two sixes.

Ottneil Baartman gave seven runs in the penultimate over and left 11 runs to defend in the last over.

Maharaj brilliantly defended the target, giving away only six runs and taking two wickets to steer his side to the Super Eight stage of the tournament.

The left-arm spinner topped the bowling chart for South Africa with figures of 3-27, while Rabada and Nortje claimed two wickets.

South Africa opted to bat first, however, the decision backfired as Bangladesh reduced the batting side to 23-4 in the fifth over, with pacer Tanzim Hasan Sakib taking three early wickets.

Klaasen and David Miller (29) then joined hands to help South Africa recover with a 79-run stand for the fifth wicket.

Klaasen played a gritty knock of 46 runs from 44 balls with the help of three sixes and two boundaries before Taskin Ahmed castled him in the 18th over.

Except for Klaasen, Miller, and Quinton de Kock (18), no other batter managed to reach double figures as South Africa set Bangladesh to chase 114.

Sakib led the bowling charts for Bangladesh with figures of 3-18, while Ahmed took two wickets.

Bangladesh pace spearhead Shoriful Islam is a doubt for the team’s first match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 after he split the webbing between his index and middle finger while fielding a warm-up in New York on Saturday.

The injury to the left-armer’s bowling hand needed stitches and leaves him racing against time to make Bangladesh’s opening match against Sri Lanka on Friday in Dallas.

“He’s got six stitches,” Bangladesh Cricket Board physician Debashis Chowdhury said in a video message on Sunday.

“Considering his importance, we are trying to give our best so that he can come back quickly,” Chowhdury said.

The left-armer paceman tried to stop a drive from Hardik Pandya in the final over of India’s innings and was hit on his bowling hand. He was taken from the field for treatment.

Struggling Bangladesh, who lost the match by 60 runs, are also battling to get fellow pace bowler Taskin Ahmed fit for the Sri Lanka clash.

Taskin missed the recent three-match series against the United States, which Bangladesh lost 2-1.

Bangladesh have never qualified for the knockout phase of the T20 World Cup and are drawn in a tough Group D against Sri Lanka, South Africa, the Netherlands and Nepal.

HOUSTON: Veteran Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan opened up about the reasons for his side’s shocking series loss against the United States of America (USA) on Thursday.

The USA defeated Bangladesh in the second T20I of the three-match series at the Prairie View Cricket Complex to register their first T20I series win over a Test-playing nation.

Shakib Al Hasan, while talking to the media after the match, stated that the team could not get enough practice due to rain and limited facilities at the venue.

“If we take this as a preparation series for the World Cup, in that case, we should have a lot more batting and bowling sessions and there should have been more facilities that we didn’t get at all,” said the former captain.

“For one day there was rain and we could not do anything on that day, while there are four grounds but we could train on only three pitches which I don’t think is ideal. And I think these things could have been better.”

However, Shakib praised the USA team for their efforts and expressed disappointment over the crushing series loss.

“Certainly it is disappointing and we didn’t expect it but we must give credit to the US team for the way they have played,” he added.

The all-rounder admitted that the Bangladesh side did not play at their best and termed the series loss against the USA a wake-up call ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024.

“I think no one expected that we would lose two games. Any match you lose as a team is disappointing. But having said that we have to play the World Cup and this series might be a wake-up call for us as we haven’t played the way we want to play,” Shakib concluded.
