Bangladesh may have started slowly upon their entry into the cricketing world towards the end of the last century, but it has been on the rise in the last decade or so, especially in limited-overs cricket.
They have earned some key victories in this phase against the top sides of the world, more so in their home conditions. And they are turning out to be a force to be reckoned with in the Asian subcontinent.
Their spin bowling attack is a real threat and not that easy to put away, as is Bangladesh’s ever-improving pace arsenal. So there is always a challenge for batters to put up runs against Bangladesh, and we will see the players who have overcome those and come out with flying colours.
