Shakib, Mahmudullah lead historic win over Kiwis: 2017 CT BAN v NZL (Cardiff)

Mahmudullah and Shakib Al Hasan scored centuries during a match winning 224-run partnership to knock out New Zealand and enter the semi finals of the 2017 Champions Trophy. This is the first time that Bangladesh has entered the semi finals of a major ICC tournament.

Chasing 266, Bangladesh slumped to 33 for four but Mahmudullah and Shakib put together the first 200-run stand for Bangladesh in one-day internationals to secure the win a canter.

Earlier, Kane Williamson (57) and Ross Taylor added 83 runs for the third wicket until Bangladesh applied the brakes. Mosaddek Hossain (3/13) triggered the collapse towards the end as Bangladesh restricted the Kiwis to 265 for 8.

Bangladesh 268 for 5 (Shakib 114, Mahmudullah 102*, Southee 3-45) beat New Zealand 265 for 8 (Taylor 63, Williamson 57, Mosaddek 3-13) by five wickets.
