Mahedi asked Shakib to 'stay cool'

Allrounder Mahedi Hasan played an important role during a 37-run partnership with Shakib Al Hasan in Bangladesh's successful chase of a 122-run target against Australia in the second T20I of the five-match series.

Mahedi suggested Shakib to stay cool while he would take the chances. Their partnership set the tone for the Tigers' run-chase and helped them to win the match against the Aussies by five wickets.  

The 26-year-old focused on containing the run during the powerplay with the ball.
"Most batsmen want to take the chances to make the score big during powerplays. Hence, I always target on bowling as many dots as possible in powerplays," said Mahedi.

The alrounder also shared his experience of playing with Mustafizur Rahman from the age levels.
