Pakistan finished third in the five-team group with four points after losing to India and the United States, who progressed to the Super Eight stage.

At one end, there is captain Shanto, a smart leader who has been brave with his use of bowlers, excellent with his on-field decisions, has taken a number of gutsy calls, and almost all of his gambles have come off.

"Pakistani players think that if they don't perform well, the coaches will be sacked, and nothing will happen to them," former captain Wasim Akram said during a broadcast after the defeat to India.

Afridi said that Babar missed out on a chance to do the honourable thing when the selectors approached him to return as the white-ball captain ahead of the T20 World Cup.

Hazratullah, who has played 43 T20Is, was named as a replacement after Mujeeb was ruled out due to an injury to his right index finger.

Clear and concise, Bangladesh’s bowling unit has been decisive in their plans so far, which has put the team on course for a berth in the Super Eight.

The Tigers currently have four points in three matches, having beaten Sri Lanka earlier and then losing to South Africa. A victory or a washout against Nepal in their final group-stage match on June 17 will seal their spot in Super Eight.

West Indies posted 149-9, powered by a dynamic 39-ball 68 from Sherfane Rutherford, an innings that shaped the fate of the match.

“Definitely not,” Tamim told the ESPNCricinfo when asked if Shakib should be dropped from the XI in Bangladesh’s next match

“It was a poor decision, that was never hitting the stumps. And he threw his finger up so quickly, like a gun slinger,” Doull told Cricbuzz

“He knows many things and so do I, but we cannot talk openly. I will speak openly after the World Cup, our people themselves have spoiled this unit.”

“You are such an experienced player, you have been captain before, but your stats are such. You should feel ashamed of yourself and just declare that you are retiring from the T20 format.”

“I think it has to come from the top four,” Tamim told ESPNCricinfo yesterday.

The Babar Azam-led side will next face Canada and Ireland in the group stage, but even if they win both matches, they are not guaranteed a spot in the Super 8s.

India were bowled out for 119, their lowest ever score against Pakistan in a T20 game but won by six wickets after their rivals fell just short.

For Bangladesh head coach Chandika Hathurusingha, the lack of runs at the venue meant that both Bangladesh and South Africa have equal chances, going into the game on Monday.

"Cricket is finished for Pakistan," one spectator told his companions in the garrison city of Rawalpindi, among fans who abandoned a big-screen viewing event before the final ball was bowled.

The 34,000 seat temporary Nassau County Cricket Stadium built in Eisenhower Park, in East Meadow on Long Island, was a sell out with fans travelling from far and wide for the game.

“Someone sent me these photos. It’s midnight here right now, but I can’t get these photos out of my mind. I feel terrible thinking someone had to bleed because of me,” Hridoy wrote on social media.

On Saturday, 16 years, eight months and 27 days later after that win over the Caribbeans, Bangladesh have finally registered a win over a higher-ranked team, that too a former champions, in the mega event.
