Cricket News : ICC T20 WORLD CUP 2021-BANGLADESH QUALIFY FOR SUPER-12s

Bangladesh confirm their place in the Super 12 stage of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2021 with a thumping 84-run win over Papua New Guinea. They lost their first match against Scotland and came back strongly with a 26-run win over Oman. Talisman all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan starred in both the victories for Bangladesh. Against Oman, he scored 42 off 29 balls before snapping up a 3-wicket haul; against Papua New Guinea, the left-hander seemed unplayable, returning with extraordinary figures of 4/9 after he had played a 37-ball 46-run knock, having come in to bat at the loss of the first wicket for no run. Skipper Mahmudullah, who failed to finish the chase versus Scotland, displayed his strength with a blazing innings of 50 runs in 28 balls against PNG.
