Highlight reel featuring Shakib's troops

Shanto plays his 'best' knock

Najmul Hossain Shanto made 47 per cent contribution to the Bangladesh total with his 55-ball 71, and the only teammate who surpassed his strike-rate was Afif Hossain. The left-hander had long been under severe scrutiny from the press and social media alike, but Shanto responded on the biggest stage with his maiden T20I fifty, which he termed as 'very special' after match.

Taskin's early strikes pivotal again

An ever-improving Taskin Ahmed once again turned out to be the key for Bangladesh pace attack, bagging three wickets for 19 runs to pick up his second player-of-the-match award in the ongoing T20 World Cup. His knack of scalping wickets in his first over continued as well as Taskin became the highest wicket-taker in the Super 12 stage with an impressive haul of eight wickets in three matches.

Fizz rekindles old flames

The bowling partnership is often overlooked in batter-friendly white-ball cricket. However, Bangladesh ace quick Mustafizur Rahman showed why it shouldn't be the case. While Taskin made the early inroads, Mustafizur Rahman removed two batters, including the prized wicket of Sikandar Raza, at his introduction in the last over of Powerplay. Fizz later made impact in his last two overs in the innings' back-end, conceding 10 runs in total while other Bangladesh bowlers were going for a beating.

Electric Shakib

Shakib Al Hasan's efforts in the field in that penultimate over was nothing short of electric. The Bangladesh skipper darted in the delivery, seeing the left-handed batter come down the track, and Sean Williams poked it towards the cover region hoping to get a crucial single. Shakib, however, showed cat-like athleticism, charging in full throttle and picking up the ball while turning 180 degrees before he produced a direct hit with Williams falling short of the mark at the non-striker's end. Shakib's heroic effort had come at the nick of time when Williams was looking ominous for the Tigers.

Sohan's glitch that got them back on the field again

Nurul Hasan Sohan took off the bails sharply but he had been too keen to do it as the Bangladesh team celebrating in the sidelines were asked to come back onto the field and bowl the last delivery again.

Sohan collected the delivery before it had passed the stumps, as TV replays showed, and the laws of the game dictated that a no-ball had to be given, which led to the final delivery having to be re-bowled.

Unfazed Mosaddek holds nerve

As the Bangladesh players and Zimbabwe batters were asked to return to field, the nerves that had been released seemed to have gotten a grip on the crowd and the players alike. Mosaddek Hossain – who earlier had struggled with the bat in death overs and fumbled in the outfield to concede a boundary -- was asked to do the job that he had already done once, which was to prevent a big hit. Eventually, Mosaddek held his nerves as Blessing Muzarabani failed to connect and before Sohan whipped the bails off, properly this time, as Bangladesh picked up a famous win.
