Shakib bowled 18 overs in two innings in the ongoing ODI series against South Africa so far and took only two wickets conceding 108 runs. Shakib scored 29 and 4 in the first two ODIs. Shakib passed a decent year with the bat in 2017 as he scored 367 in 11 innings this year with an average of 33.36. But with the ball his performance is below-par as he took only 6 wickets in 11 innings this year. Despite losing the top all-rounder spot, the left-arm spinner advanced to the 19^th spot in the ICC bowler rankings. Fellow compatriot pacer Rubel Hossain has climbed seven ranks to the 61^st spot. AB de Villiers claimed the top spot in the batsmen rankings after his explosive 176 runs from 104 balls in the second ODI against the tigers. He hit seven six and fifteen fours.
