Shakib, Liton the stars in Bangladesh's record chase

produced one of the great World Cup performances, stringing a domineering 124 not out to his two-wicket haul as he anchored Bangladesh's highest chase in an ODI. In the process, he reached 6000 ODI runs, became Bangladesh's highest run-scorer at a World Cup, the second after Mahmudullah to make two centuries for Bangladesh in the tournament, and added his name to yet another one of the six Bangladesh century stands in World Cups. That apart, he also took Bangladesh past West Indies' 321 with
Shakib came in, as he has done all tournament, at No. 3 despite Liton's inclusion in Bangladesh's XI. At 52 for 1, Tamim Iqbal and Soumya Sarkar had provided a start similar to the one during their win against South Africa; this held true both in terms of the scoring rate as well as the kind of new-ball bowling they had faced. Going in with five fast bowlers, West Indies were bowling decidedly short, with little to indicate a Plan B.
This played into Bangladesh's hands on a ground with short boundaries. Tamim led the initial attack, slashing and pulling boundaries, and occasionally jumping on top of the bounce to punch on the rise through the off side as West Indies counted on persistence rather than adaptability with their tactics. According to ESPNcricinfo's ball-by-ball data, 112 balls were short or short of a good length. Bangladesh made 177 runs against those deliveries and lost two wickets.
It took a sharp piece of fielding from Sheldon Cottrell in his bowling follow through to provide West Indies a half-chance, one that he took as he tore down the stumps at the striker's end even as Tamim fell short looking to dive back into his crease. It was about when rain made its first appearance, but not enough to force the players off. Shortly after, Bangladesh lost Mushfiqur Rahim caught down the leg side with an over left for the 20-over DLS cut-off. But as they navigated that situation, staying narrowly ahead of the DLS par score, the sun crept out. And with it came a step-up from Shakib.
It was not, strictly speaking, a silken innings. But that was down to West Indies' lengths. The pull was Shakib's staple, but not the high-scoring option that it usually is. It mostly helped him get off strike, off the toe and off the under-edge most often. But in the middle of this arduous accumulation, Shakib played some powerful cuts, and produced several brilliant punches down the ground to find boundaries. In all, six of his 16 boundaries came between wide mid-off and mid-on. In essence, he blunted West Indies' attack at his ribs, while staying prepared for scoring opportunities on the front foot. With the erratic spells Shannon Gabriel and Oshane Thomas bowled, the absence of a spinner, and a limping Andre Russell for fifth bowler, West Indies lost their grip through the middle overs.
