Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan said before the match against South Africa, “Don’t be disappointed now, after the World Cup will be as disappointed as you want”.
Five matches are over, literally the World Cup is half over.in such a situation, Bangladesh has 1 win and 4 losses.
Starting with a win against Afghanistan, but the pattern of losses in the next four matches, it seems that worse performance is not possible.
Former Indian cricketer and current cricket analyst Akash Chopra says, “Bangladesh is one of the worst performing teams in the World Cup”.
Akash Chopra calls Bangladesh’s performance as ‘boring’.
Twenty days ago, if such a statement came, the supporters of Bangladesh would have erupted in violent protest. As read against AB de Villiers, when he told Bangladesh in Afghanistan, Netherlands in Qatar on his YouTube channel.
But now Bangladesh is lower than Afghanistan or Netherlands in the World Cup points table.
Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan said before the match against South Africa, “Don’t be disappointed now, after the World Cup will be as disappointed as you want”.
But the situation is such that it will not be surprising if Bangladesh loses against Netherlands too.
Because Netherlands is now clashing with every team and Bangladesh is losing by a big margin.Bangladesh lost by two runs – against England by 137 runs, against South Africa by 149 runs.
Bangladesh lost by two wickets – against New Zealand by 8 wickets and against India by 7 wickets.
Batting first or later, Bangladesh is not able to take advantage in any way, or even throw any kind of question for the opponent.
Let’s start with Shakib Al Hasan. Yesterday he bowled his most expensive over in World Cup history, conceding 22 runs in one over.But the question is, even as a Bahati spinner, why will he come to bowl in the 44th over in front of an informed and set Bahati batter?
A failure as a bowler as well as a captain.
The ball that Shakib Lizard got out to Williams, the commentators were saying that the ball had bounce but was not a wicket-taking ball.
Shakib played neither cover drive nor square cut, felt the need to bat and continued to bat, thus the commentators could not contain their surprise.
Nazmul Hossain Shanto is out in a similar way, but he bats on the leg side, touches the leg ball and sends it to the keeper.He is getting out in the same way against England and also against New Zealand.
Some in the gallery sat with their hands on their heads at the ability of a supposedly reliable Bangladeshi batsman to give away wickets on seemingly innocuous deliveries.
From ‘Bengal Tiger’ to ‘Bengal Kitten’
When Bangladesh’s defeat was certain, a supporter’s placard in Mumbai’s gallery was seen with ‘Tigers’ cut out of ‘Bengali Tigers’ and ‘Kittens’ written on it.
Behind this transformation from ‘Bengal Tiger’ to ‘Bengal Kitten’ was a haphazard batting display by the middle order.
For example, Tanjid Tamim, Nazmul Hossain Shanto and Shakib Al Hasan were dismissed in just 13 balls.Shanto scored zero with one ball, i.e. golden duck, Shakib scored 1 run then Mushfiqur Rahim scored 8 runs.
In other words, chasing South Africa’s 382 runs, only 9 runs came from Bangladesh’s experienced top middle order, they played 22 balls.
Earlier against India in Pune, Bangladesh’s number three, four and five batsmen scored 8, 3 and 16 runs respectively.Shant, Miraj and Hridoy played 55 balls to get these 27 runs.Against New Zealand the conditions were not so bad but not great either. Miraj, Shanto and Shakib scored 70 runs off 105 balls.
Shantar’s golden duck, Shakib’s 9-ball 1 run and Mehdi Hasan Miraj’s 7-ball 8 was the beginning of this failed journey against England.That is, the three batsmen of Bangladesh who are playing in the top order have returned to the pavilion after playing 18 balls and picking up 9 runs while the team’s target is 365 runs.
Akash Chopra called this performance ‘boring’.
Bangladeshi cricket fans give regular status on social media about cricket
He wrote on social media, “Every time this team absolutely destroys me.Such a disappointing performance of Bangladesh.
In a discussion on the popular cricket portal ESPN Cricinfo, Indian cricketer Cheteshwar Pujara feels that the biggest problem in Bangladesh’s batting is the lack of stability.
He says, “Bangladesh could have done better at home with the cricket they are playing at home. But a stable batting line-up is needed outside the country”.
Pujara says that Bangladesh is losing 3-4 wickets in the first 20 overs, Bangladesh’s middle order is fragile with the new ball, which can be understood by looking at the statistics of the last four matches.
It has been said jokingly in the discussion that the kind of plan that Bangladesh is going with, it seems that Mahmudullah will be given the opener in the next match.
Former New Zealand cricketer Shane Bond feels that Bangladesh mightBangladesh the first team to be knocked out of the World Cup.
