Shakib again nominated for 'Player of the Month' award
He has already won the ICC's 'Player of the Month' award. This is the second time that the world's best all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has been nominated for the award.
Shakib was nominated for the second time in October due to his great performance in the first round of the World Cup. His other two rivals are Pakistan's Asif Ali and Namibia's David Weiss.
Zimbabwe's Marie Ann Musonda and Ireland's Laura Delaney and Gabby Lewis have also been nominated for the Women's Player of the Month in October.
Shakib won the best player award for the first time last July. Earlier, experienced batsman Mushfiqur Rahim became the first Bangladeshi player to win the award in May.
This time, thanks to his all-around performance in the World Cup, Shakib raised the possibility of being the Player of the Month once again. He played six T20I matches in October, taking 131 runs with the bat and 11 wickets at an economy rate of just 5.59.
David Weiss, who is playing his first World Cup for Namibia between his two rivals, has averaged 162 runs at an average of 28 and 132 strikeouts, as well as six wickets at an economy rate of just 6.23.
Pakistan's Asif Ali, on the other hand, won the toss and elected to bat against New Zealand. In the next match against Afghanistan, he hit four sixes in the 19th over to win the team and was nominated for the best player of the month award.
Pakistan is flying, Shoaib fears otherwise
In the 1999 World Cup, Pakistan, which was running at a fast pace, was pushed to the final. In the title fight, Australia blew away Wasim Akram's team. Shoaib Akhtar remembers seeing Pakistan in the 2021 Twenty20 World Cup 22 years ago.
Shoaib's 'fear' history does not repeat itself. The former Pakistan fast bowler also warned Babar Azam for this.
Pakistan has secured the semi-finals by defeating India, New Zealand, Afghanistan, and Namibia in this year's World Cup under Babar. Batting, bowling, fielding - Pakistani cricketers are showing their dominance in all three categories. Yet Shoaib is not dispelling that fear 22 years ago.
Warning the Babar's, the legendary Pakistani pacer said on his YouTube channel, "The way you are going, I am reminded of the Pakistan team in the 99th World Cup." Be careful that this World Cup does not slip out of our hands. Anyway, we want the trophy. '
So far, Shoaib is very satisfied with the performance of the Pakistan team. Seeing Babur-Afridi running on the field, Rawalpindi Express said, 'The team is moving in the right direction this time. Pakistan should go to the final undefeated and we will lift the title.
Losing two matches didn't turn out to be a bad team overnight: Rohit
After losing by 10 wickets to arch-rivals Pakistan, the Indian cricket team also lost by a huge margin of 6 wickets against New Zealand. These two defeats almost ended India's dream of playing in the semifinals. But on paper, there are possibilities.
To use this, Virat Kohli's team had to win by a big margin in the remaining three matches. In the first of these, India lost to Afghanistan by 7 runs on Wednesday night. Which has raised new hopes for India to play in the semis. Their remaining two matches are against Scotland and Namibia.
After losing the first two matches by a wide margin, the Indian cricket team has come under fire from all quarters. Joy needed to turn around. They batted first against Afghanistan and scored 210 runs. He then stopped the Afghans by 144 runs, winning the match by 6 runs.
After this victory, India's star opener Rohit Sharma got a chance to respond to the critics. From whose bat came eight fours and three sixes in an innings of 74 runs off 46 balls. Rohit said bluntly, India did not become a bad team after losing the first two matches.
At the end of the match, the right-handed batsman said, "It did not (win) in the first two matches, it does not mean that we have become a bad team overnight. Just because you have two bad matches doesn't mean that all the players on the team are bad. You see the mistakes and turn around. As we did in this match.
Despite losing to Afghanistan and opening the scoring, the equation of playing in the semi-finals is still quite complicated for India. They don't have to win the remaining two matches by a big margin, they have to wait for at least one defeat for New Zealand. At the same time, they have to pray that Afghanistan does not win by a large margin.
Instead of getting bogged down in such a complicated situation, Rohit gave the message of playing brave cricket, 'In this situation, we have to be fearless and fearless, no matter what is going on around us. We are a good team. However, I could not play much against Pakistan and New Zealand. But after today's (Wednesday) match, it is clear what we can do if we play brave cricket.
