ODI World Cup: Top 10 performances by Bangladesh Cricketers in ICC tournament

8. Mashrafe Mortaza (19 wickets in 24 innings)

Mashrafe Bin Mortaza, fondly called as Mash, has been one of the longest-serving warriors of Bangladesh Cricket. Having made his debut early in 2001, he sparked enthusiasm with his fast bowling, slamming sixes, and agile fielding. Mortaza used to share the new ball, he had the knack of getting the ball nip back. 

He started his World Cup journey way back in 2003, he got two matches there. Then came the 2007 West Indies World Cup. Bangladesh started off with a thumping victory over India when Mashrafe produced a match-winning figure of 4 for 38. But sadly due to a knee injury, he missed the home World Cup in 2011. He would like to continue from where he left in the Caribbean four years back. 

Then making a comeback in the 2015 World Cup, the experienced campaigner led Bangladesh to their best World Cup campaign to date.  But in the 2019 World Cup, with his struggling form he couldn't help Bangladesh qualify for the Semifinals despite Shakib Al Hasan's heroics. Even, to date, he regrets his performance had let his team down. But for his teammates, he's still their dear leader, their 'Mash Bhai'.
