In the majority of their stunning wins against giant teams, their bowlers have been efficient and complemented their batters well.

Here are some majestic spells by Bangladesh bowlers in ODIs:

5. Khaled Mahmud’s 3-35 vs Pakistan, 1999 World Cup

Bangladesh made their World Cup debut in the 1999 World Cup and in the tournament, they defeated Pakistan by 62 runs in one of the games. Before the game, no one had expected the inexperienced Bangladesh team to shake the formidable Pakistan side which included batting maestros such as Saeed Anwar, Ijaz Ahmed, Inzamam-ul-Haq, and Saleem Malik among others.&nbsp;

But in the game, it was Khaled Mahmud who did wonders with the ball for the Bangla Tigers by bagging three wickets and giving away just 31 runs. With his impressive bowling, he put pressure on Pakistan by dismissing big names such as <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/our-grounds-were-turned-into-wedding-halls-shahid-afridi-recalls-sorry-state-of-pakistan-cricket-after-2009-sri-lankan-team-bus-attack/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shahid Afridi</a>, Inzamam-ul-Haq, and Saleem Malik.

His wicket-taking bowling helped Bangladesh to fold their innings at the score of 161. His performance in the game helped Bangladesh to clinch a historic victory over the Men in Green and also made him the Player of the Match.

4. Abdur Razzak’s 3-35 against South Africa in the World Cup 2007

The 2007 World Cup in the West Indies fared well for Bangladesh as with the minnows tag, they humiliated heavyweights India by defeating them in the group stage and advanced to the Super Eight round. The victory against the Men in Blue emboldened them and in the next round, they performed another upset by pummeling South Africa by 67 runs, riding on Abdur Razzak’s heroic spell.

In the victory, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/abdur-razzak/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Razzak</a> had a major contribution with the ball as he bagged a three-fer while conceding just 25 runs in 9.4 overs. The bowler with his disciplined bowling removed Ab de Villiers early which was a big setback for the Proteas.

Chasing the target of 252, the early blows endured by the Proteas caused damage to their innings and on the other hand, Razzak’s tight bowling in the middle overs put immense pressure on other batters. In the end, the spinner restricted the South African innings to 184 and scripted a comprehensive victory for Bangladesh.

3. Rubel Hossain’s 4-53 against England, 2015 World Cup

Bangladesh were playing their last group game in the 2015 World Cup against England and to qualify for the knockouts, they had to win against Eoin Morgan and co. On paper, the English side looked superior to the Bangla Tigers, but Bangladesh's <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/rubel-hossain/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rubel Hossain</a> had some other plans that day.

With standout performances from both Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur Rahim in batting, Bangladesh set a total of 276 for England. Morgan and his boys were cruising smoothly towards the target with Ian Bell’s steady innings but Rubel, who was too hot to handle that day, created a ruckus in the English side by dismissing both Bell and the England skipper on spectacular deliveries.

With pressure built by Rubel’s incredible bowling, England showed discomfort as they failed to rack up runs quickly and faltered. In the end, the pacer scripted a historical win and paved the way for Bangladesh to the knockout stage by dismissing both Stuart Broad and James Anderson on back-to-back deliveries. His amazing spell of 9.3-0-53-4 is still considered one of the best for Bangladesh in ODIs.

2. Mashrafe Mortaza 4-38 against India, 2007 50-Overs World Cup

Bangladesh, in the 2007 50-overs World Cup were facing India in their first match. With a star-studded Indian team, everyone was expecting India to register an easy victory over the Bangla Tigers and go to the next level of the competition but it was the indomitable spirit of Mashrafe Mortaza that spoiled India’s plans to have an easy cakewalk.

Spearheading the bowling attack, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/mashrafe-mortaza/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mortaza</a> provided an early breakthrough to the team by dismissing Virender Sehwag with an impressive inswinger. Later, he also got rid of Robin Uthappa on a swinging delivery outside off stump. By virtue of his amazing start other Bangladesh bowlers got a chance to take advantage of the situation and create more pressure on India.

With his magnificent bowling effort, the Bangla Tigers wrapped up India’s innings for a score of 191. Mortaza by clinching the wickets of Ajit Agarkar and Munaf Patel became the highest wicket-taker for his team in the match with the figures of 4-38 in 9.3 overs. His scintillating performance in the game not only won him the Player of the Match award but also helped Bangladesh to register a memorable win.

Mustafizur Rahman made a dream ODI debut against India in 2015 in a three-match ODI series at home by scalping five wickets in his first match. In the second game, the team was looking for another standout bowling display from him to win the series and he didn't disappoint.

Rahman, in the second game of the series, delivered again by wreaking havoc on the Indian batting line-up and clinched six wickets. His lethal bowling made a huge difference between the two teams in the game. On his second delivery of the contest, he sent <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/i-dont-see-rohit-sharma-playing-in-the-next-t20-world-cup-wasim-jaffer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rohit Sharma</a> back to the pavilion.

In the crucial moments of the match, he showcased his bowling ability by bringing Bangladesh back to the game while getting rid of experienced batters like Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni, and Ravindra Jadeja.
