After winning the T20 series against England, the Bangladesh team has regained some of its old power. Almost everyone in the cricket world now knows how much they can roar on their own ground. A big win for Bangladesh against Ireland yesterday naturally signals that Bangladesh will dominate the upcoming matches. If the cricketers of Bangladesh can show such performance outside the home field then they will be able to show a very respectable game in the upcoming World Cup. Ireland's tour of Bangladesh will end with 3 ODIs and 3 T20 series in this tour.
There is no doubt that Bangladesh has always been a strong team in ODI cricket. Since 2015, Bangladesh's ODI cricket has started to improve till now, Bangladesh has continued that improvement trend. But recently, Bangladesh's performance is truly remarkable. Especially in the England series and Ireland series, their performance is truly remarkable. They got a huge 188-run win against Ireland in Sylhet. We all know that ODI World Cup is going to be held in India this year. If Bangladesh can perform like this then Bangladesh will have a chance to win the World Cup.
Bangladesh got a good win against Ireland. Bangladesh has won the highest number of runs against Ireland in ODI cricket. They defeated Ireland by 183 runs in this match. After winning the toss against Bangladesh, the captain of the Ireland team decided to bowl first. When Bangladesh batted against Ireland, Tamim got out early. After Tamim's dismissal, Debutant Tawheed Hriday 92(45), and Shakib Al Hasan 93(89) led the team. Both of them narrowly failed to bring up their century. Shakib Al Hasan Tawheed Hriday and Mushfiqur Rahim's storming innings saw Bangladesh's score reach 338. When Ireland came to bat against Bangladesh with a target of 339 runs, the Bangladeshi bowlers put a lot of pressure from the beginning. However, Ibadat Hossain (4 wickets), Nasum Ahmed (3 wickets), and Taskin Ahmed (2 wickets), with their superb bowling skills, gave Bangladesh a huge victory by 128 runs. Congratulations to Team Tigers.
There are several reasons behind this remarkable performance of Bangladesh. Earlier, Bangladesh used to rely on the selected few players, if any of the selected players did badly, Bangladesh could not come back in that match, but now Bangladesh can rely on all the players. And the mentality of every player is made in such a way that anyone can take out the match if they want. Bangladesh needed this mindset. Hope to perform well regularly from now on.
