Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto believes that his team can pull out some "special things" against Pakistan in the two-match Test series and change their dismal record against the opponents. Bangladesh have never defeated Pakistan in a Test match. In the 13 Tests against Pakistan, the visitors have drawn one and lost 12. In the World Test Championship standings, Bangladesh are currently in the eighth position.
Afghanistan scripted history by beating Bangladesh to reach the T20 World Cup 2024 semi-finals on Tuesday. The Rashid Khan-led side emerged victorious in a thrilling encounter and this was the first time ever that they ever reached the semi-finals of an International Cricket Council (ICC) competition. However, the victory was not without its fair share of controversies as Gulbadin Naib was accused of 'faking an injury'. During the 12th over of the Bangladesh innings, Naib fell to the ground holding his hamstring right after head coach Jonathan Trott was seen signaling to the players to slow the game down. Afghanistan were 2 runs ahead on DLS method with the game hanging by a thread.
The India vs Bangladesh T20 World Cup encounter, which the Rohit Sharma and co. won by 50 runs, was interesting in many ways. Apart from the cricket action, emotion seemed like running high. It all started when Bangladesh's Tanzim Hasan Sakib gave a fiery send-off to Virat Kohli. Then Rohit Sharma celebrated aggressively after Litton Das was out. Even, Kuldeep Yadav sledged Bangladesh batter Tanzid Hasan. Kuldeep gesture went viral.
Veteran Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan hit out at the Tigers' lack of "fight" after a 50-run rout by India effectively ended their T20 World Cup dreams. Saturday's mauling was Bangladesh's second defeat in the Super Eights after an opening loss to Australia. "We were always thinking that we came to do something good and we will do it," said former skipper Shakib who was playing in his 128th T20 international. "But if you look at the result or the performance on the ground, actually we couldn't show any fight in that way. It's disappointing."
India vs Bangladesh rivalry is one in cricket which is fast gaining the reputation of one of most intensely fought and followed contests. Over the years, emotions have run high from both sides whenever the two teams clash against each other. The same was the case during the T20 World Cup Super 8 match in Antigua on Saturday. There were aggressive reactions throughout the game. The first prominent one being when Bangladesh's Tanzim Hasan Sakib kept on staring aggressively at Virat Kohli after getting the India star out for 37. The fiery send-off soon became viral on social media.
Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto acknowledged that his batters have been underperforming in the T20 World Cup but promised better showings with the bat in their remaining Super Eights matches including the next one against India. Bangladesh produced their best-ever showing at the T20 World Cup as they won three matches in the group stage to qualify for the Super Eights. But the Tigers were handed a 28-run DLS defeat by Australia in their opening Super Eight fixture. They take on India next.
Premier pacer Pat Cummins grabbed the tournament's first hat-trick and spinner Adam Zampa showcased his artistry to fashion Australia's 28-run win over Bangladesh via the Duckworth Lewis (DLS) method in their Super Eights fixture of the T20 World Cup in Antigua. If Zampa (2/24) operated with precision in the middle overs, Cummins (3/29) claimed three wickets off successive balls at the back end, as Australia restricted Bangladesh to 140 for eight after Mitchell Marsh opted to bowl first in the rain-interrupted game.
Delighted that his team is through to the Super Eights but disappointed by its batting performance so far, Bangladesh skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto said he is yet to figure out why his batters have not been up to the mark in the ongoing T20 World Cup. Bangladesh managed to trump Nepal by 21 runs to seal their place in the Super Eights. However, getting shot out for 106 put them in a spot of bother before their bowlers managed to get the job done.
