The ongoing T20 World Cup has seen some brilliant bit of work on the field. We have seen some terrific catches taken, and the recently concluded game between Zimbabwe and Bangladesh witnessed a moment of magic from Shakib Al Hasan.

The game was one for the ages and there was high drama on offer. Chasing 151, Zimbabwe faltered in the chase, but the duo of Sean Williams and Ryan Burl brought their side back in the hunt. Bangladesh needed something special and their skipper Shakib produced a magical moment in the 19th over to turn the tides.

It was a full length delivery and Williams drove it to the right of the bowler and tried to sneak in a single. But Shakib showed his athleticism as he got across to his right, puts in a dive and turned around to throw down the stumps at the non strikers end. 

Williams, who was batting at 64 was well short of his crease and had to walk back to the pavilion. Shakib only had one stump to aim at and he did it to perfection.

Talking about the game, Bangladesh rode on Najmul Hossain Shanto's brilliant half-century (71) and posted a decent 150 on the board, which eventually proved to be enough as Zimbabwe could only manage 147 for the loss of 8 wickets.
