Cricket-Wonderkid Shaheen bowls Pakistan to victory over Bangladesh

Teenage fast bowler Shaheen Afridi took six cheap wickets as Pakistan beat Bangladesh by 94 runs at Lord's on Friday, clocking up their fourth World Cup win in a row but narrowly missing out on the semi-final stage of the tournament. The 19-year-old became the youngest bowler to take six wickets at the tournament and gave up just 36 runs in the process - the best figures for a Pakistan bowler in the competition's history.

Earlier in the day Pakistan's opener Imam-ul-Haq made a run-a-ball century and Babar Azam scored 96 as they set the Bangladeshis a target of 316 runs. Bangladesh's Shakib scored his seventh half-century of the tournament, equalling Sachin Tendulkar's record of 2003, before slashing wildly at a ball from Shaheen and being caught out behind for 66.

That knock made Shakib the highest-scoring batsman of the tournament with 606 runs, but Bangladesh's other wickets fell regularly as the side were skittled out in 44 overs.
