T20 World Cup 2022: X-Factor player for each team in tournament
There are certain players who have the might to turn the game on its head in a matter of a few deliveries.
7. Bangladesh - Mehidy Hasan Miraz
Mehidy Hasan Miraz has been an exciting prospect in Bangladesh's cricketing circles. The 24-year-old has been a consistent performer in the Tests, picking 135 wickets in 35 games and recently the youngster has shown that he has the goods to deliver in the shortest format as well, especially with the bat.
Amid Bangladesh’s top-order corundum in T20Is, the think tank decided to open with Mehidy at the Asia Cup. He played an impactful innings straightaway scoring 38 runs off 26 balls against Sri Lanka giving his side a brisk start. In the T20I series against UAE, he faired decently, scoring 58 runs in two games at a strike rate of 113.72.
On the bowling front, Mehidy‘s skills have never been in question, even in the T20 format. In the five T20Is the Khulna-born played this year, he took four wickets at an impressive economy of 6.40. He being an off-spinner will form a good foil to Shakib Al Hasan at the T20 World Cup. Mehidy, with his all-round prowess, has provided a much-needed balance to the side and he can be the X-Factor for the Bangla Tigers at the global event.
