Bangladesh post 181/7 on the board: Opting to bat, Bangladesh did not get off to an ideal start as they lost the opener, Mohammad Naim, in the very first over. Kabua Morea dismissed M Naim for a duck. Liton Das and Shakib Al Hasan then managed a 50 runs partnership for the second wicket when PNG bounced back in the contest by taking wickets of Liton (29) and Mushfiqur Rahim (5) in quick succession. By the 12th over, The Bangla Tigers were reduced to 72/3.
Shakib continued to play and fell short of just four runs from a well-deserved fifty, eventually being dismissed at 46 runs by PNG skipper Asad Vala in the 14th over.
Mahmudullah hits fastest fifty of the edition: After Shakib Al Hasan’s departure, Bangladesh skipper Mahmudullah ensured not to lose momentum and slammed a 27-ball 50 – the fastest of the ongoing edition. Bangladesh added 68 runs in the final four overs and posted a daunting total of 181/7 on the back of Mohammad Saifuddin’s little cameo of 19 off 6 deliveries.
