Cricket World Cup 2023: Ranking teams based on batting performances in third week
After the three weeks of the tournament, let's rate the batting performances of all teams.
8. Bangladesh- 5/10
Bangladesh are struggling to be among the victories in this competition. In their five matches, they have won one and lost four games in a row. The Bangla side kicked off their campaign with a victory against Afghanistan in Dharmshala, however, following that win, they received poundings from quality teams.
In Shakib Al Hasan’s absence, Najmul Hossain Shanto led the team against the hosts India in Pune but failed to win the contest for his side. Winning the toss, the Bangla team batted first and amassed 256 runs in their 50 overs. Openers Tanzid Hasan (51 runs off 43 deliveries) and Liton Das (66 runs off 82 balls) exuded confidence with their bats but their middle order failed to take the momentum ahead.
Mahmudullah scored 46 off 36 to help the team post a decent score on the board. After the India defeat, Bangladesh next faced positive South Africa at the Wankhded Stadium. The Proteas dominated the Bangla Tigers in this game and scored 382 runs in their 50-over quota. Bangladesh looked timid while pursuing the humongous target as they lost their six batters at a score of 81. Mahmudullah showed a fighting spirit with his bat, producing a solid 111-run knock off 111 deliveries. The veteran’s innings took Bangladesh to 233 runs.
