Cricket: Tasmania have beaten Queensland in the Marsh Cup in Hobart, despite a century for Ben McDermott.
Shaheen Shah Afridi grabbed three wickets while openers Fakhar Zaman and Abdullah Shafique cracked half-centuries as Pakistan stormed to a seven-wicket victory over Bangladesh on Tuesday to stay afloat in the race for a World Cup semi-final place.
They still need to win against New Zealand and England and also hope other results go their way if they are to stay in the tournament. “We know when Fahkar plays the way he can for 20-30 overs it is a different ball game. So we let him play his natural game and it is good to see.”Shafique hit nine boundaries and two sixes as he made his third half century in addition to a hundred in the tournament.Zaman, who recovered from a knee injury to replace Imam-ul-Haq in one of three changes for Pakistan, smashed seven sixes and three boundaries, his 16th ODI fifty, but first after 11 innings.
The first dismissal gave Shaheen his 100th wicket in his 51st one-day international, making him the 21st Pakistani bowler with a century of wickets.
