LESSON-4 Your Favorite game

About Shakib Al Hasan, also known as Saqibul

Hasan, (Bengali: সািকব আল হাসান) (born 24

March 1987 in Magura) is a Bangladeshi

cricketer who made his One Day

International debut against Zimbabwe in

August 2006.

Description:

Shakib Al Hasan is a left-arm spinner and

talented batsman, who ensured his place in

the Bangladesh squad for the U-19 World

Cup in Sri Lanka with a blistering

performance in the final of the tri-nations

U-19 ODI tournament in Bangladesh.

Firstly, he took 3 for 39 in the Sri Lankan

innings and then scored 100 to guide

Bangladesh to victory. Although primarily selected for his bowling, he has shown great potential

with the bat. As well as the century, he has scored two half-centuries and has an Afridi-style strike

rate of more than 106. Hasan made his one-day debut in the final match against Zimbabwe in July

2006. He scored an unbeaten 30 and helped steer Bangladesh to victory. Since then Hasan has

proved to be an asset to his team. He scored his maiden ODI hundred, against Canada in a tri-

series before the 2007 World Cup and a year later hit his first against a better attack - Pakistan's.

His bowling has been penetrative and economical and his partnership with fellow left-armer

Abdur Razzak has been a bonus for Bangladesh. Shakib rattled New Zealand with 7 for 36 in the

2008 Chittagong Test, which till date are the best figures by a Bangladesh bowler in an innings.

His sensational batting took Bangladesh to their first ever tri-series final, against Sri Lanka, the

following year. He's one of the most valuable and consistent performers in the team.

Name of the Topic:

Bangladesh Women secured one-day international status for the first time with a nine-wicket

victory over USA Women in a low-scoring game in Savar. USA won the toss and chose to bat

but were bowled out for 78. Thanks to Khadiza Tul Kubra for beautiful bowling 4 from 20.

Bangladesh then took just 18.5 overs to reach their target with Suktara Rahaman top scoring an

unbeaten 29.

Bangladesh captain, Salma Khatun, was delighted with her side's achievement. "It feels fantastic

to have gained ODI status and it means a lot for Bangladesh women's cricket, things can only

get better from here." Tigress started the scoring slowly but ended it quickly.
