Best Batsmen:
For all latest news, follow The Daily Star's Google News channel. The ace all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has been the best batsman for Bangladesh in this mega-event so far. He has struck at least a fifty in each innings -- 75, 64 and 121 against South Africa, New Zealand and England respectively -- to become the highest run getter not only for the Tigers but also the whole tournament.

Best bowlers:
With Mostafizur Rahman not performing up to the high standards he set for himself, new comer Mohammad Shaifuddin has been amongst the wickets. He is the go to bowler for the captain Mashrafe Mortaza every time Bangladesh needs a wicket.
Having taken 3 wickets in three matches, Shakib also makes the top five bowlers list. As a result of his all-round performance, he is also the highest point getter in the ICC Fantasy League.
Other than that, Mehdi Hasan Miraj performed really well as he kept the batsmen at bay giving away the least runs among the Bangladesh bowlers.
