- Target The Out Of Form Shakib Al Hasan:
Shakib Al Hasan might be the number one ranked all-rounder in the ICC rankings, but the last few months haven’t been good for him.
Known to always chip in with the bat and strike at crucial junctures, the southpaw has been undergoing a poor run of form, of late, something which came to the fore even during his innings against India, yesterday.
Since the start of 2017, Shakib’s batting average has been down at 33, slightly below his career batting average. But the bigger worry has been his bowling since he averages a dismal 65.5 with the ball this year in seven ODI’s, having picked up just four wickets.
The conditions in England on top of that won’t assist him to a great extent and this is England’s best opportunity in further denting the confidence of Bangladesh’s greatest match winner ever.
