Cricket – Shakib leads Bangladesh to series win

Shakib Al Hasan became only the third player in history to score a century and take 10 wickets in a match as Bangladesh whipped Zimbabwe by 162 runs in the second Test on Friday to win the series.
The left-arm spinner claimed five for 44 in Zimbabwe’s second innings as the tourists, set a victory target of 314, were bowled out for 151 after tea on the fifth and final day in Khulna.
Bangladesh, who won the first Test in Dhaka by three wickets, took an unbeatable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
Shakib’s 10-wicket haul in the Test — he took 5-80 in the first innings — followed a crafty 137 on the second day and deservedly won the man of the match award.
The 27-year-old joined Ian Botham of England and Imran Khan of Pakistan as the only cricketers to score a hundred and claim 10 wickets in a match.
