Rating Test teams of this decade

9. Bangladesh – 3.5/10

Bangladesh has completed another decade in Test cricket but the results haven’t been really encouraging. The team has failed to maintain consistency and even had to make a transition during this decade. In total, they played 56 games in these 10 years and won only 10. They lost 36 while 10 matches finished in a draw.

Bangladesh’s average score per wicket in this decade was just 29 which is considerably less than some of the other teams. At the start of the decade, Bangladesh lost 9 series in a row which included one against Zimbabwe. After drawing a couple of series after that, they lost two more series against Sri Lanka and West Indies in 2014. Nearly five years into this decade, they finally registered their first series win against Zimbabwe in 2014.

Again, there were a few losses and draws and the trot and the team had to wait for over four years to register another series win in this decade. In 2018, they won a couple of matches against West Indies. The team’s big wins in this decade came against Australia and England against whom they won one match each.
