The Tale of The Decision for Shakib to Bat at No 3 in The WC 2019
Mashrafe was rewarded back beautifully for his decision as Shakib created an excellent game, reaching 606 runs in eight games, including two hundred and five-fifties. Former Bangladesh ODI captain Mashrafe bin Mortaza disclosed heading against all odds to support all-rounder Shakib al Hasan to battle No 3 at the 2019 World Cup in England and Wales. Mashrafe made the disclosure on facebook Monday during a live chat session with the current Bangladesh ODI skipper Tamim Iqbal.
Mashrafe said that a lot of comment he has received for Shakib to bat No 3 in the World Cup. However, he believes that Shakib was confident to handle the situation and if he failed in two matches nobody will be more concerned than Shakib himself. He backed him fully because he thinks that Shakib will have maximum impact at No 3 as he told Tamim during the live chat session on Facebook.
Mashrafe was paid back beautifully for his decision as Shakib created an excellent game, reaching 606 runs in eight games, including two hundred and five-fifties. The left-handed batsman finished up with a score of 86.57 and a strike rate of 96.03.
