CHITTAGONG - Bangali Tigers stunned England by two wickets on Friday to keep alive their World Cup quarter-final hopes and set-up a nail-biting race to qualify from Group B.
On a rollercoaster night Bangladesh, chasing just 226 to win, were cruising at 155-3 when opener Imrul Kayes, on 60, attempted a second run off Paul Collingwood but was beaten by a flat, sharp throw from Ajmal Shahzad.
That stimulated a crumple to 169-8 before brave rescue expedition started by tail-enders Shafiul Islam (24) and Mohammad Mahmudullah (21) put on 58 for the ninth wicket to win with six balls to spare.
If England had won, they would have gone into the last eight along with group leaders India.
