This is best performance we have had in T20 WCs: Bangladesh skipper Shakib after loss to Pakistan

Adelaide [Australia], November 6 : After their five-wicket loss to Pakistan in their final ICC T20 World Cup Super 12 match, Bangladesh skipper Shakib al Hasan termed his side's performance in this tournament as "best" across all editions of T20 WCs.
Pakistan held nerves to clinch a five-wicket win over Bangladesh in their final Super 12, Group 2 clash of the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup at Adelaide, thus marching into the semifinal from their group.
"At the halfway stage, we were 70/1. Wanted to get somewhere around 145-150 - would have been a reasonable total on that pitch. Knew it was going to be difficult for the new batters so wanted set batters to carry through to the end which did not happen. In terms of results, this is the best performance we had in T20 World Cups. Could have done better. But having said that, with the new guys coming in, with the changes, this is the best we could expect. On my own performance - I could have done better. As long as I am fit and performing, I would love to play," said Shakib in a post-match presentation.
Pakistan is currently at the top of the Group 2 table with six points and three wins in five matches and India is at the second with six points and three wins in four matches. India is playing Zimbabwe at Melbourne on Sunday. Both of these teams have qualified for semifinal.
