Today we saw a perfect Bangladesh team. Opener Liton Das made a remarkable start. Shakib's partnership with Liton was excellent. At the same time Mahmudullah played an extraordinary innings. As a finisher, Saifuddin has been able to fulfill his responsibilities properly. If they can make such a performance in the main stage of the World Cup, then maybe the matches in Bangladesh will be competitive.
Bangladesh is playing against associate teams and they lost one match against Scotland and the matches they won are against Oman and Papua New Guinea who is one of the weakest team in the tournament and they way in which they struggled against Scotland, i doubt they can be competitive against top teams like England, India, Australia or even South Africa in spinning wickets.
Bangladesh today won the match against Papua new guinea (PNG) one of the weakest team in the wc21. But totally Bangladesh become runners up and they will compete with England , Australia, south Africa and west indies... How they struggle the match between them??
I don't think Bangladesh would be able to go through semis, they already are in the group of death, they ended up on number 2 in their group and most probably Sri Lanka would end number 1 in it's group which means we will be having 6 teams from 10 in one group and 4 in one, so all 6 teams in that group would be good contenders of reaching into semis and if you look at performances WI and Bangladesh would be the least favourites out of all. The only match in which they performed fairly good was against PNG which is around 10 ranks lower than it.
Bangladesh does not have any ability and qualification to reach the semi-finals. The team’s top-order batsmen can’t perform regularly. Mohammad Naim and Liton Das are not very experienced. Shakib, Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur are experienced in the team. But Mushfiqur is not in form now. Now Bangladesh team has to rely on Shakib and Mahmudullah to win any match.
Today Mohammed naim Hassan flop of the day who pull a shot without any consideration. Only two men outside the 30 yards and caught out... What's an experienced player he is! I think top order Batsman should carefully play with consideration.
