BCB president Nazmul Hassan has said Shahadat Hossain is likely to be kept out of cricket until a decision is reached on the Women and Children Repression Prevention Act case against him

ESPNcricinfo staff13-Sep-2015BCB president Nazmul Hassan has said fast bowler Shahadat Hossain is likely to be kept out of cricket until a decision is reached on the Women and Children Repression Prevention Act case against him. Hassan said Shahadat had come looking for him but he did not meet the fast bowler.ESPNcricinfo also learned from a BCB source that Shahadat had been temporarily suspended by the board.Hassan did not specify when or where Shahadat tried to meet him. Dhaka police have been looking for the fast bowler for the last five days but have not been able to find him. Shahadat and his wife are wanted on charges of allegedly assaulting their housemaid.”Unless the investigation ends or there is a decision on the matter, BCB doesn’t want to keep any attachment with him,” Hassan said. “We are quiet, and we will remain quiet. He is more than likely to stay outside cricket.”There is no reason to give Shahadat Hossain any leeway, it is quite clear. I don’t know whether you know this, but he came to see me. I didn’t meet him. What would I have told him? I don’t have anything to do. It is totally up to the law of the land.”

Gurinder Sandhu and Josh Hazlewood gave New South Wales a chance of reaching the Sheffield Shield final by routing South Australia’s batting to set up an eight-wicket victory

ESPNcricinfo staff16-Mar-2013
ScorecardGurinder Sandhu and Josh Hazlewood gave New South Wales a chance of reaching the Sheffield Shield final by routing South Australia’s batting to set up an eight-wicket victory for the Blues inside three days at the Sydney Cricket Ground.The result pushes the Blues momentarily to the top of the Shield table, but they may be passed by Victoria, Tasmania, Western Australia or Queensland pending the outcomes of the two remaining matches.SA resumed with six wickets in hand and a lead they hoped to build on, but the Redbacks were unable to organise any real resistance from the moment Jake Brown fell to Gurinder Sandhu without addition to his overnight score.The hosts were left with a mere 91 to get and marched to their target swiftly, aided by a flashy 41 from Nic Maddinson that featured five sixes. SA’s only consolation after losing their final two games outright to slip from contention was Chadd Sayers’ competition-leading tally of 48 wickets.

Trinidad & Tobago put in a clinical performance against Jamaica in the final to win their second consecutive Caribbean T20 title, and once again qualify for the lucrative Champions League T20

ESPNcricinfo staff23-Jan-2012Trinidad & Tobago put in a clinical performance against Jamaica in the final to win their second consecutive Caribbean T20 title, and once again qualify for the lucrative Champions League T20. Dwayne Bravo played a sensible innings to take T&T towards a decent total; Kieron Pollard, in one 26-run over, changed that from a decent total to a strong one; and then the miserly T&T spinners, along with Ravi Rampaul, choked Jamaica to make sure the victory was by a thumping margin.Dwayne Bravo’s innings was a crucial one, as it held together an innings that showed signs of falling apart. Lendl Simmons and Darren Bravo had both been dismissed by the seventh over: Simmons was beaten in the flight by legspinner Odean Brown and edged to the keeper, and Darren Bravo also edged, while poking at an Andre Russell delivery.Dwayne Bravo showed immediate intent by pulling Russell for four in the ninth over, but lost both Adrian Barath and Denesh Ramdin at the other end in quick succession. Barath was stumped, trying to loft Brown over long-off, and Ramdin, who replaced Daren Ganga as captain before the tournament, was bowled by a Brown flipper.At that stage, T&T were 65 for 4 in 11.1 overs and in trouble. Dwayne Bravo reacted by lofting Brown for six and then hitting another six off Nikita Miller two overs later. He mixed caution and aggression, rotating the strike in between the big shots and was helped by the fact that Sunil Narine, at the other end, was scoring at a quick rate. Narine rushed to 22 off 15 balls, hitting two sixes, both heaves to the leg side off David Bernard’s medium pace.Pollard, who was later named Man of the Series, was initially happy to play second fiddle to Dwayne Bravo. He was dropped in the 18th over, by Marlon Samuels off Krishmar Santokie. It was the second catch Jamaica had dropped – Shawn Findlay put down a sitter to let Dwayne Bravo off the hook when he was on just 20 – and they would regret them both. Santokie, who should have had Pollard’s wicket, was subjected to a mauling by him in the final over of the innings. The second ball was driven for four past cover, and the next three were bludgeoned for sixes: one over long-on, one over long-off and one to midwicket. By the end of it, Santokie, the leading wicket-taker in the tournament, had gone for 42 from his four overs.Chasing a big total, Jamaica had to get off to a quick start. Instead, they managed only five runs off the first two overs and lost a wicket in the most careless of manners in the third. Nkrumah Bonner, at the non-striker’s end, wanted a single when Danza Hyatt played the ball to Pollard in the circle, and could not get back in time when Hyatt declined the run. The next over, bowled by Ravi Rampaul, was a maiden, and the required run-rate had already shot up above 10 runs per over.Samuel Badree got rid of Marlon Samuels with a googly, he and Narine go through a few miserly overs, and when Dwayne Bravo had Hyatt caught in the deep in the eighth over, the match ended as a contest. Carlton Baugh played a few impressive strokes towards the end, including successive sixes off Rampaul to slightly spoil what would have been outstanding figures, but by that stage the required-rate had reached unachievable proportions.The margin in the end was an emphatic 63 runs, giving T&T revenge for their loss to Jamaica in final of the Regional Super50 tournament in October last year, and reinforcing their reputation as the best Twenty20 side in the Caribbean.”We have a great bunch of players in this team and a superb support staff and that is what did it for us. We are known as the Red Force and we showed we are a true force. We didn’t get it right in the first match, the Windwards gave us a kick up the backside, but we came back as a good strong force against Leewards and against Guyana as we found our range,” Denesh Ramdin said.”After that it was smooth sailing because we know we have match-winners in all departments. We actually thought that Jamaica would have been stronger in the final but our bowlers did a fantastic job in the first six overs and that squeezed them. After that we knew we had the trophy in our hands.”In the third-place playoff, Windward Islands thumped Barbados by seven wickets, with 13 balls to spare. Barbados chose to bat and were dealt severe blows in the second over, as Delorn Johnson knocked over three of their top four to reduce them to 4 for 3. Jonathan Carter and Alcindo Holder attempted to rebuild the innings with a steady stand of 68 from just under 12 overs. However another collapse ensued after Holder was run out and Barbados were bowled out for 101.Windward Islands lost Johnson Charles off the first ball of their chase, but Andre Fletcher and Devon Smith put them back on course with a 67-run partnership. After the pair was dismissed in quick succession, Miles Bascombe and Tade Carmichael steered them home without much drama.

ESPNcricinfo previews the sixth and final ODI between New Zealand and Pakistan in Auckland

Big Picture

Write off Pakistan’s World Cup chances at your own peril. Despite having setbacks hurled at them from every corner, they have managed to recreate the flair that epitomised their cricket in the 1990s and early 2000s. The manner in which they have won the series also highlights the depth and balance their squad possesses.The Christchurch win was old-school Pakistan: keep wickets in hand and explode in the slog overs. In Napier, Misbah-ul-Haq executed a perfectly calibrated run-chase, while in Hamilton, relentlessly attacking bowling in the middle overs and enterprising fielding won the game. The fast-bowling department is potent and full of variety and the openers are in good touch, with a century apiece in the last two games. Everything is falling into place, including Shoaib Akhtar’s perfect lengths while hitting speeds of 150 kph. There is a visible unity in the ranks that makes a mockery of the rumoured cliques within the set-up. And now they even know who will lead them in the World Cup.With the series in the bag, Pakistan may want to test their reserve strength in Auckland. New Zealand, on the other hand, don’t seem to have clarity on their first-choice XI. Tim Southee – the one bowler who has tormented Pakistan throughout the tour – was benched for the must-win game in Hamilton. The batsmen have hurtled along listlessly, expressing themselves more freely on Twitter than at the crease. Jesse Ryder has struggled with injury and off-field distractions, Jamie How has stuttered against pace and accuracy. Brendon McCullum’s push down the order has not yet worked, and Ross Taylor is taking time time to find his range. Can New Zealand stumble upon stability amidst this shambles?

Players to watch out for …

His pace may have gone down, but Jacob Oram has returned well as a bowler, following his troubles with a knee injury. His batting, however, is yet to make an impact in this series. His last half-century came in February last year, against Bangladesh. The last time he passed fifty against top opposition, though, was in June 2008 against England. Can he find his form ahead of the World Cup?Abdul Razzaq has made the new ball his own, allowing Pakistan to retain their express fast bowlers for the latter stages of the innings. He has whistled in at around 130 kph, kept them short of a length to deny scoring opportunities, and got the odd legcutter to nip away and create havoc. His batting, however, is yet to create the damage he is known for. If he finds his groove on Saturday, New Zealand’s bowlers could be in for some pain.

Team news

Mohammad Hafeez’s bowling exploits have rendered Saeed Ajmal redundant. Given Ajmal’s variations, he may have a bigger role to play in the World Cup, and could get a game here. Will Sohail Tanvir get another chance to rediscover his late swing?
Pakistan (probable): 1 Ahmed Shehzad, 2 Mohammad Hafeez, 3 Kamran Akmal (wk), 4 Younis Khan, 5 Misbah-ul-Haq, 6 Umar Akmal, 7 Shahid Afridi (capt), 8 Abdul Razzaq, 9 Wahab Riaz / Sohail Tanvir, 10 Umar Gul , 11 Shoaib Akhtar / Saeed Ajmal
New Zealand will hope for Daniel Vettori’s recovery in time for the match. Unless Southee is being kept fresh for the World Cup, he should figure in the starting XI.
New Zealand (probable): 1 Jesse Ryder, 2 Martin Guptill, 3 Jamie How, 4 Ross Taylor, 5 Scott Styris, 6 James Franklin, 7 Brendon McCullum (wk), 8 Daniel Vettori (capt) / Nathan McCullum, 9 Jacob Oram, 10 Tim Southee / Hamish Bennett, 11 Kyle Mills.

Stats and trivia

• This is Pakistan’s first bilateral ODI series win since November 2008. That series, against the West Indies, was also the last time Younis Khan scored a century
• Misbah-ul-Haq leads the run-charts for this series with 203 runs

Quotes

“It doesn’t make a difference whether Misbah leads the side or I lead the side because we both are playing for our country”

“I am not a fan of rotation. You try to pick your strongest side. It gives you the best chance of winning and getting some momentum going.”

These are the five innings that have made the ESPNcricinfo awards shortlist for ODI innings of 2009

Cricinfo staff17-Feb-2010A Sachin Tendulkar special, a century that nearly chased 414, a hundred in the Champions Trophy final, a ton despite pain but in vain, and a match-winning hand against the old enemy. These are the five innings that have made the ESPNcricinfo awards shortlist for ODI innings of 2009.Leading the list is Tendulkar’s 175 against Australia in Hyderabad, an innings that evoked memories of his more explosive years. He single-handedly kept India alive in their pursuit of 351 but his dismissal in the 48th over resulted in defeat. A few months later, Rajkot was witness to another unbelievable century during a chase. Tillakaratne Dilshan clobbered 160 off 124 balls as Sri Lanka got within three runs of India’s 414 but no further.The other three contenders for the awards are innings during the ICC Champions Trophy in South Africa: Shane Watson’s unbeaten 105 which led Australia to victory in the final against New Zealand, Graeme Smith’s desperate and cramp-ridden 141 against England in a failed attempt to keep South Africa’s campaign alive, and Shoaib Malik’s 128 which methodically dismantled the Indian attack.The top five were drawn on basis of votes from a 14-member jury that includes some of the leading cricket experts in the world and Cricinfo’s senior editors.A departure from the usual year-end awards looking at overall performances, ESPNCricinfo’s honours are in two categories: a jury-based award looking at the year’s best batting and bowling performances and a stats-based award using numbers from Cricinfo’s extensive database.The winners for all the awards will be announced on February 19.

Owen impressed on his T20I debut, taking a key wicket before clubbing 50 off 27 which included six sixes

Alex Malcolm20-Jul-2025A dream debut for Mitchell Owen with bat and ball alongside a stunning half-century from Cameron Green guided Australia to a three-wicket win over West Indies after a masterful death bowling display from Ben Dwarshuis and Nathan Ellis set the game up at Sabina Park.Owen took a key wicket before clubbing 50 off 27 to become the third Australian behind Ricky Ponting and David Warner to make a half-century on T20I debut and bag the Player-of-the-Match award. He smashed six sixes while Green thumped five and two boundaries in a 26-ball 51. The pair added 80 from 40 to rescue Australia from 78 for 4 and gun down the target of 190. Australia out-hit West Indies, smashing 17 sixes to just nine overall.Earlier, Dwarshuis took 4 for 36 including three in an over, as he and Ellis combined to take four wickets for just seven runs in the last 16 balls of West Indies innings to restrict them to 189 for 8 after half-centuries from Roston Chase and Shai Hope had threatened to set-up a huge total. Chase made 60 off 32 at No.3 while Hope made 55 from 39. Shimron Hetmyer also clubbed 38 from 19 but West Indies’ lower-order combined for 11 between them as they lost 6 for 30 in the final five overs.Chase-ing Hope earlyIn the absence of the injured Evin Lewis, West Indies new-look top three laid a superb platform. Brandon King made the switch from Test cricket to T20 mode look easy, thumping four boundaries in the first three overs as Australia’s quicks missed wide. The early introduction of spin halted momentum with Cooper Connolly bagging his first T20I wicket as King ran past one. Hope picked up the baton launching Connolly inside out over cover off the back foot.Roston Chase launches down the ground•Getty Images

Chase’s first 10 balls were very sluggish but he found his groove outside the powerplay. He launched Connolly and Adam Zampa in back-to-back overs before playing four superb strokes off Sean Abbott in the 10th to find the boundary four times. He first paddle-scooped fine, before showing power and touch to thread the same gap between short third and backward point before again paddling a predictable full and straight ball fine again. West Indies looked set for a huge score at 123 for 1 in the 13th over.Dwarshuis and Ellis death bowling masterclassDwarshuis started a West Indies collapse as Chase holed out to long-on trying to clear the rope again. Hope slowed down significantly before Owen made his first impact in T20I cricket with the ball, forcing a miscue from Hope with a wide slower ball. Either side of that though he conceded two sixes to Hetmyer.Ellis and Dwarshuis then put on a clinic. Hetmyer was threatening to push West Indies well over 200, smoking Ellis’ first two balls of the 18th over to the rope. But thereafter West Indies lost 4 for 7 off the last 16 balls of the innings. Ellis’ last four balls of the 18th over were a mixture of brilliant slower balls and yorkers. Dwarshuis took three wickets for one run in the 19th with three mishits caught in the deep. Ellis closed out the last thanks to some help from Green who denied Hetmyer a certain six at long-off with a stunning catch that no other Australian fielder could have caught at full stretch on the rope.Ben Dwarshuis bagged four wickets•Getty Images

Fraser-McGurk misfires yet againEyebrows were raised when Australia’s selectors recalled Fraser-McGurk in place of the injured Spencer Johnson as a reserve wicketkeeper for Josh Inglis, and they remained raised when he was selected in the XI to open in place of the injured Matt Short. But there was very little surprise when he struggled to 2 off 7 before miscuing Jason Holder to mid-off.Mitchell Marsh was in an all-or-nothing mood, mixing three monstrous sixes with seven dots in the powerplay before he got a thin edge to the extra pace of Alzarri Joseph. Green fought fire with fire. He got away with a top edge that flew for six over fine third before being pinned on the shoulder. He then deposited Joseph over fine leg twice to finish the powerplay.Australia looked in all sorts of trouble when Josh Inglis top-edged Akeal Hosein to short fine and Glenn Maxwell skied Motie straight up to end an indifferent innings of 11 off 10.Green and Owen power Australia home, justNeither man had much experience as middle-order finishers coming into the game but the pair showed extraordinary composure and power to rip the game away from West Indies. Owen was fearless, getting off the mark with a six off Andre Russell and launching another later in the over for good measure. He then deposited Hosein three times in the 12th over to dispel any concerns over his ability against spin in the middle overs. Green played really smartly at the other end knocking three twos to keep the board moving without risk after his fast start. He then took Holder and Motie down to blaze to 50 off 25 balls and get the target to just 32 off 31 balls. But he fell trying to hit Motie out of the ground again.Owen kept going, pounding Joseph into the stands to reach 50 off 26 but he too fell next ball trying to go again with Australia still needing 15 off 21. But Connolly, Dwarshuis and Abbott did just enough to steer the visitors home, but not without help from West Indies’ fielders. Substitute fielder Jewel Andrew dropped Abbott at fine leg off Holder with seven to win. He was almost run out too but they nurdled their way home with seven balls to spare.

Allrounder also available for two Championship fixtures after impressing in Big Bash

ESPNcricinfo staff07-Feb-2024Beau Webster, the Australia allrounder, has joined Gloucestershire for this year’s Vitality Blast.Webster, a right-handed bat who bowls both right-arm medium-pace and off-spin, will join up with his new teammates in Bristol in late May. He will be available for the entirety of Gloucestershire’s Blast campaign, as well as two County Championship fixtures against Yorkshire and Glamorgan in June.”I am really excited and very grateful for the opportunity to join Gloucestershire for the 2024 Vitality Blast campaign,” Webster said. “I’m looking forward to not only developing my game further in the UK but also to playing a part in helping the team win matches during my time here. I can’t wait to meet my teammates and get started.”Webster, 30, has played for Tasmania in Australia’s domestic competitions since 2014, and made 554 runs at 61.55 in this year’s Sheffield Shield, second only in the run-scoring charts to Cameron Bancroft. Using his 6’6” frame to good effect, he also took 13 wickets in seven appearances.He has previous experience of county cricket, having played for Essex in last year’s Metro Bank One Day Cup. He finished that campaign with 14 wickets at an economy of 5.47, and also scored 280 runs at 37.14.More recently, Webster impressed in this year’s Big Bash League, scoring 262 runs at 43.66 for Melbourne Stars.Mark Alleyne, Gloucestershire’s incoming head coach, said: “Beau is an incredibly well-rounded player who is experienced across all formats and offers a great option with both the bat and the ball.”He’s enjoyed a good season in the Big Bash League and will bring with him a lot of knowledge of playing in T20 franchise cricket, particularly in Australia. Beau is a tall, powerful player who can have a terrific impact on a game, and has I’m really excited to have Beau join us for the Vitality Blast and to see him help win cricket matches for Gloucestershire.”

The Australian captain stepped away after the Commonwealth Games earlier this year

ESPNcricinfo staff26-Sep-2022Australia captain Meg Lanning will miss the WBBL with Melbourne Stars as she continues her indefinite break from the game.Lanning stepped away following Australia’s Commonwealth Games gold-medal success in Birmingham and it remains unclear when, or if, she will return.”The club respects her decision and asks that her privacy continue to be respected,” a Stars statement said.Stars will need to find a new captain for their WBBL campaign which starts on October 15 against Brisbane Heat. Earlier this year Lanning had handed over the captaincy of Victoria to Sophie Molineux.With Lanning now ruled out of the WBBL it also increases the prospects of Australia needing a new captain for their tour of India in mid-December.When Shelley Nitschke was confirmed as the new permanent head coach last week she said that conversations about Lanning’s future had not yet taken place.”When the time is right we’ll have those conversations about whether she is back in December or whenever it might be,” she said.Previous vice-captain Rachael Haynes has retired from international and state cricket which means a new leadership team may need to come together but Nitschke was confident in the potential of the squad.”There are a good group of emerging leaders in our team that are going to have opportunities to stick their hands up,” Nitschke said. “We don’t have a designated leadership group but there are people amongst the team and group that are leaders on and off the field. Some girls lead in their states. They all have different strengths.”Lanning was named Australian captain when she was 21 and over the last few years has led the team to unprecedented success with the T20 and ODI World Cup titles, Commonwealth Games gold and multiple Ashes victories. She has also maintained her form as one of the leading batters in the world, averaging 53.53 in ODIs and 36.48 in T20Is.

Takes over from Kane Williamson, who dropped five ranking points after missing the second Test against England

ESPNcricinfo staff17-Jun-2021Australia batter Steven Smith has returned to the top of the Test batting rankings for the first time since the Boxing Day Test last year.Despite not having played a Test since January this year, Smith took over from Kane Williamson, who dropped five ranking points. Williamson scored 14 runs in the first Test against England at Lord’s before missing the second Test because of a persistent elbow injury. Williamson, now on 886 ranking points, is second in the rankings.Smith has now been at the top of the batting rankings for 167 Tests, according to an ICC statement, behind only Garry Sobers and Viv Richards, who were No. 1 for 189 and 179 Tests respectively.South Africa fast bowler Kagiso Rabada also gained two spots to move to seventh in the bowling rankings after a five-wicket haul in the second innings against West Indies in St Lucia in the first Test. Anrich Nortje’s seven-wicket match haul carried him into the top 30 for the first time in his career, while Quinton de Kock moved to 12th in the batting rankings, a position shared with Cheteshwar Pujara, after he was named player of the match for his unbeaten 141 in Gros Islet.England’s Test captain Joe Root dropped one spot, to fifth, after the series against New Zealand in which he scored just 97 runs in four innings. Root has still been England’s most prolific run-scorer in the last year, having totalled 1115 runs at an average of 50.68, close to double the next highest run-scorer, Dom Sibley (623 runs).

Their utter domination with the bat was followed up with the ball, with Nayeem picking wickets off successive balls in the very first over of Zimbabwe’s second innings

The Report by Liam Brickhill24-Feb-2020Stumps Mushfiqur Rahim’s third Test double hundred, alongside Mominul Haque’s first Test ton as captain, helped Bangladesh soar to 560 for 6 dec on day three in Mirpur and take control of the match.The pair added 222 for the fourth wicket against a wilting Zimbabwean attack, and after Mominul was eventually prised from the crease Mushfiqur batted on (and on) extending Bangladesh’s lead to a massive 295 before the declaration came. This is Bangladesh’s second-highest first-innings lead; the highest being 397 batting first against West Indies in October 2018. Their utter domination with the bat was followed up with the ball, and a double strike from Nayeem Hasan in the very first over of Zimbabwe’s second innings left the visitors staring at a potentially massive innings defeat.The signs were ominous for Zimbabwe when, having taken a couple of overs to settle themselves this morning, Mushfiqur and Mominul eased through the gears and peppered the boundary almost at will. Mushfiqur favoured the glide through gully as he found both the pace of Zimbabwe’s bowlers and the benign nature of the pitch very much to his liking.Displaying faultless judgment, he raised his 50, 100, 150 and 200 with boundaries, all of which were either slapped through point or guided through the gully, with the third man position left vacant for much of the day.Together the pair motored Bangladesh ahead of Zimbabwe’s first-innings effort with only three wickets down, and the arrival of the second new ball seemed only to galvanise their efforts. Mominul slotted the cleanest of drives through extra cover to raise his ninth Test ton, drawing level with Tamim Iqbal in that regard and also equalling Craig Ervine’s captain’s knock: this is the first time in Tests that two players have made their first hundreds as Test captains in the same game.Backed into a corner and out of options, Zimbabwe reverted to an extremely defensive mode of bowling in an effort to rein in the rampant batsmen. The seamers switched to an around-the-stumps angle, repeatedly pushing the ball across and well wide of Mushfiqur. His patience held firm, but the scoring rate dropped: having gone 30 overs without bowling a single maiden, Zimbabwe finally managed to string the dots together and add some frustration to proceedings.Aiming to break free with a lofted drive, Mominul didn’t get the elevation he wanted and left-arm spinner Ainsley Ndlovu stuck his hands up to hold a stinging return catch to dismiss him, finally, for 132.That was Ndlovu’s maiden Test wicket, and he soon had a second as Mohammad Mithun feathered an edge behind. But a focused Mushfiqur only dug in in response, extending Zimbabwe’s pain, and found an able partner in Liton Das, adding a further 111 for the sixth wicket.Having reached a composed fifty, Liton edged an attempted dab off Raza to present another chance, with wicketkeeper Regis Chakabva holding his fifth catch: the most by a wicketkeeper in a Test innings at this ground. Indeed, his performance behind the stumps was one of the few bright points for Zimbabwe.But still Mushfiqur wasn’t done, and while Taijul Islam had some fun with some big shots at the other end, he continued nervelessly to a record third double hundred, reaching the milestone with his 28th boundary and celebrating in emotive fashion. No-one has scored as many doubles for Bangladesh as him, and in the course of his knock he also became Bangladesh’s leading all-time run-scorer in this format, passing Tamim Iqbal.That brought the declaration, finally, but the nightmare was not yet over for Zimbabwe. Opening the bowling, Nayeem zipped his second ball straight through Prince Masvaure’s defences, and then found the edge of nightwatchman Tiripano’s bat immediately afterwards to find himself on a hat-trick. Brendan Taylor survived the hat-trick ball, but Bangladesh are now in complete control of the match.
