Another day, another record for Shakib who is now the joint-highest wicket-taker in T20 World Cups

After a solid knock of 46 off 37, Shakib Al Hasan registered a four-wicket haul against Papua New Guinea at Al Amerat on Thursday.

Shakib was at 30 wickets before the start of the tournament and took only three matches to equal Shahid Afridi's tally of 39 wickets. That means Shakib is now the joint highest wicket-taker in the history of the T20 World Cup.

Shakib returned four for nine in his four overs against Papua New Guinea. It was his third best bowling figures in T20Is.
