BAN vs IRE: Before the third T20I match against Ireland on Friday, March 31, at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram, Shakib Al Hasan, the captain of Bangladesh in both T20I and Test matches, received an Argentina National Cricket Team shirt. Hernan Fennell, the men’s captain of Argentina’s cricket team, and Alison Stocks, the women’s captain, sent the Bangladesh squad the shirt as a gift.
Bangladesh, spearheaded by Shakib, defeated Ireland in the first two T20I matches by scores of 22 and 77 runs, respectively, to win the series. The Bangladesh skipper was in outstanding form in the second T20I, and his team’s victory in the series was made possible by his all-around effort. He was rightfully named Player of the Match for his innings of 38*(24) and 5/22 (4 overs) with the ball.
Photographs of Shakib accepting the Argentina jersey from pundit Andrew Leonard, who brought it to Bangladesh, were posted by Bangladesh Cricket. “Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan receives an Argentina National Cricket Team shirt sent by Argentina men’s cricket captain Hernan Fennell and women’s cricket captain Alison Stocks with wishes for the Bangladesh squad,” was the caption used for the image. Andrew Leonard, a commentator, brought the shirt to Bangladesh.”
The 36-year-old also passed Tim Southee’s tally of 134 wickets in T20Is during the second T20I to become the most prolific wicket-taker in T20I history with 136 wickets in 114 games at an average of 20.78 and an economy rate of 6.80, with two five-wicket hauls to his credit.
In the third T20I, Ireland defeated Bangladesh by seven wickets.
With 301 wickets in ODIs and 231 wickets in Tests, respectively, Shakib Al Hasan leads the list of most wickets for his country. Moreover, the left-handed batsman leads his side in T20I run-scoring with 2345 runs at an average of 23.68 and a strike rate of 122.26 during his career, including 12 half-centuries.
Returning to the third T20I between Bangladesh and Ireland, the Irish squad shocked the hosts by defeating the opposition by a margin of seven wickets and preventing a rout. Bangladesh chose to bat first and was eventually bowled out for 124, with only Shamim Hossain getting a half-century with 51. (42). With the help of the captain of Ireland, Paul Stirling, who played an incredible inning of 77 off 41 balls, Ireland easily chased down the target in 14 overs.
