Star bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi returns career-best figures of 4-22 to lead Pakistani cricket team into the Twenty20 World Cup semi-finals with a five-wicket win over Bangladesh

Pakistan bounced back from opening defeat against India and a shock loss to Zimbabwe to outplay South Africa last week.

Najmul Hossain Shanto capitalised on a reprieve when the usually safe Shadab Khan dropped the left-handed batsman on 11 at short extra. The opener went on to top-score with 54 for Bangladesh. But the third umpire upheld the on-field call as Shakib looked stunned, waved his hands and didn't want to walk off.Shakib's wicket seemed to affect the Bangladesh batsmen, who suddenly looked out of sorts and managed a below-par total despite an unbeaten 24 from Afif.

Mohammad Rizwan, who made 32 after he survived a dropped catch on nought, and Babar Azam, who scored 25, launched the chase in an opening stand of 57 but Pakistan seemed to lose their way in the middle.
