It was the partnership between Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim which really set the platform for Bangladesh's massive 330/6. The senior batting duo scored 142 runs amongst themselves. However, it was the late flourish by Mahmudullah and Mosaddek Hossain which fetched 54 runs for Bangladesh in the last four overs, which proved to be the difference in the match.
