Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan‘s tremendous bowling performance in the fifth T20I helped his team to clinch the five-match series 4-1 against Australia at Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka on Monday.

Defending a paltry total of 122, Bangladesh♕ displayed remarkable bowling to bundle out th🌟e visitors on their lowest ever score of 62 runs. Shakib was the chief architect behind the epic performance. He bagged a four-wicket haul for nine runs in 3.4 overs, including a maiden.

Shakib dismissed the likes of Matthew Wade (22), Ashton Turner (1), Nathan Ellis (1), and Adam Zampa (4). Wade was the top scorer for his sideꦫ and the only batter to cross the 20-run mark in the Austral༺ian innings.

Shakib also achieved a personal milestone as he became the first men’s T20I player to achieve the 100-wicket-1000-run-benchmark. The 34-year-old is the third overall player to achieve such a feat after Australia’s Ellyse Perry (1243 runs, 115 wickets) and Pakistan’s Nida Dar (1207 runs and 103 wickets).

Apart from Shakib, Mohammad Saifuddin bowled brilliantly and🌳 picked up three scalps for just 12 runs in 3 overs.

Earlier, the hosts made 122/8 in their allotted 20 overs, with opener Mohammad Naim scoring the maximum 23 runs off 23 balls, with the help of two boundaries, including a six. For the touring party, Nathan Ellis (2/16) and Daniel Christian (2/17) bagged a couple of wickets each.

“I am still enjoying my game. Thanks to my teammates, this achievement wouldn’t have been possible. The wicket was tough, but we held our nerves. All in all, a very good series for us. To be honest, if you look at the last game, we scored 104 or 105 and got momentum towards the defence of the chase. It wasn’t easy for the batters in this series, but the bowlers did well. We are trying to improve all our areas,” said Shakib while receiving the ‘Player of the Match and Series’ award.
