Bangladesh Cricket Team has won two out of the two One Day International matches

April 23, 2015

The Bangladesh Cricket Team has won two out of the two One Day International matches that they have played against Pakistan in the ongoing series and by doing so, they have taken an unbeatable lead of 2-0.

After the memorable World Cup that they had, the spirit of the Bangladeshi Cricketers has gone sky high and they are playing with a lot of confidence now.

Yes, you can say that this Pakistani team that they have beaten, it’s a new look side, but, that’s not Bangladesh’s fault.

They have confronted the team that is sent by Pakistan and have beaten them.

It would be a little unfair to talk about the inexperience of the Pakistani team and thus, undermine the achievement of Bangladesh.

The hero for Bangladesh in this series victory has been the left handed opener Tamim Iqbal who has scored hundred in both the matches.

The wicketkeeper Mushfiqur Rahim as well, he too has scored heavily, a hundred in the first game and a fifty in the second.

For Pakistan on the other hand, this is a little bit of an embarrassment despite the fact that they have a young team which is playing under a new captain.

Bangladesh never really cared about the low run rate. They had done their homework on the conditions. They knew the rate could be achieved later if there were wickets in the kitty and that’s what exactly happened.

Abdur Razzak not able to make in Bangladesh WC 2015 Squad

January 21, 2015

Abdur Razzak has not been able to make the cut as far as Bangladesh’s final squad for the World Cup is concerned.

Despite having played two World Cups, Razzak was not considered good enough to be picked.

The 32-year old had bowled well representing the Lions in the tournaments of 2007 as well as 2011.

But, the emergence of some good spinners off late prompted the selection committee to overlook the veteran this time around.

Razzak had not done wonders in the last season to make a case for himself. He played a few games, but, was just there and thereabouts.

The youngsters were certainly better than him and thus, it’s a fair call made by the Bangladesh Cricket Board one would believe.
