T20 World Cup 2021: Bangladesh’s strongest predicted playing XI for the tournament

11. Mustafizur Rahman

The final name in this side is left-arm pacer, Mustafizur Rahman. Rahman is a bowler who can bowl yorkers with precision, has a sharp bouncer in his arsenal, and can also fox the batsmen with clever changes in pace as well.

‘Fizz’, as he is fondly called in the cricketing world, is the second-highest wicket-taker for the Bangladesh side in the T20I format of the game. Rahman has played 48 matches and has picked up 68 wickets at an excellent strike rate of just 15.40.

He has also picked up a four-wicket and a five-wicket haul in his career as well. Rahman has been in excellent form with the ball in T20Is played in 2021. In the 7 matches that he has played this year, the left-arm pacer has scalped 10 wickets, at an average of just 13.90.

He has also conceded runs at a miserly economy rate of just 5.56 this year. Batsmen will surely find it a challenge to face up to Rahman this year in the T20 World Cup.
