All-rounder Shakib Al Hasan decimated minnows Papua New Guinea with a superb all-round performance as Bangladesh qualified for the `Super 12s` of the T20 World Cup with a crushing 84-run victory.
Bangladesh, with a net run rate of +1.733 and four points in the kitty, ensured a place among the elite teams after a shocking opening game defeat against Scotland. The `Tigers` first posted an imposing 181/7, as they rode on skipper Mahmudullah`s blazing 50 off 28 balls and Shakib`s aggressive 46 off 37 balls.
Shakib then showed why he is Bangladesh`s greatest ever cricketer with a brilliant spell of 4/9 in his four-over spell as Papua New Guinea were all-out for 97 in 19.3 overs.
