Shakib in elite club

Despite Bangladesh's defeat yesterday there were a couple of landmarks worth mentioning that were aced during the match.

Ace all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan, who had finished with figures of three for 32, took his 400th international wicket during the game. His 400th victim was Richmond Mutumbami whom he dismissed in the ninth over. He now has a total of 402 wickets, a tally that includes wickets taken in all the three formats.

Having surpassed the 400-wicket barrier, he has become only the sixth player to score more than 8000 runs and scalp 400 wickets in international cricket.

He joins a club that includes Jacques Kallis, Sanath Jayasuriya, Shahid Afridi, Kapil Dev and Chris Cairns.

Kallis tops the list with more than 25,000 runs and 577 wickets, followed by Jayasuriya's 21032 runs and 440 wickets. However, Shakib's next target would be overcoming Chris Cairns who has 8273 runs and 420 wickets.

The other achievement belonged to Sabbir Rahman. Sabbir has scored 139 runs in the three matches of this series and averages 69.50 at the moment. He has now scored the highest number of runs in a T20I bilateral series for Bangladesh.

He needs to score 48 more runs in the next match to be Bangladesh's highest run-getter in any T20I tournament. That's a record which currently Shakib holds. He scored 186 runs in seven matches during the ICC World Twenty 20 in Bangladesh back in 2014.

The final T20I will take place tomorrow.
