World Cup 2023: Rating bowling performances of all teams in first week
After 11 days of the cricketing extravaganza, it's essential to rate the bowling displays of all 10 sides.
8. Bangladesh - 5/10
Bangladesh cricket team supporters are expecting their side to create problems for other quality teams in this World Cup, however, they failed to do wonders in the first week of the tournament. In their opening game against Afghanistan, their bowlers stepped up and delivered a heroic performance as a unit.
The Bangla bowlers folded Hashmatullah Shahidi and his boys on a mere 156. The low target made the batters’ job easy as Bangladesh eventually won the game comfortably by six wickets. After getting a fine start in the tournament, Shakib and his men got a crushing 137-run defeat at the hands of the defending champions England.
Winning the toss in the huge match, Shakib Al Hasan invited England to bat first. The Bangla skipper’s decision backfired as England batters came heavily on the bowlers and amassed 364 runs on the board. Mahedi Hasan took four wickets in the contest but also splurged 71 runs in his eight overs at an economy of 8.88.
