Tigers have won the ODI series against India. After winning the first two of the three one-day matches, they confirmed the series with one match to spare. In their first match, Bangladesh stopped India, the big power of cricket, before 200 runs. They batted first in the second match and scored close to 300 runs. Moreover, in the last 10 years, the Tigers have won 42 of the 62 ODI matches played on Asian soil. Statistically, they are ahead in ODIs compared to the other two formats. Dinesh Karthik commented that if Bangladesh could not reach the semi-finals in India’s upcoming ODI World Cup, it would be a disappointment.
The Tigers should shine a little more at home. A packed audience supports the gallery. But this is not always seen outside the country. There is no gallery support. Karthik said, “Bangladesh are doing pretty well at the moment. As an Asian team playing in Asia, I will be very disappointed if they don’t make the semi-finals. Especially with the way they have played recently, they will definitely want to do very well in the upcoming ODI World Cup.”
In the first ODI against India, they made a great start, but at times they made the target difficult. Later, however, Bangladesh won the miracle of Mirage. In the second match as well, the failure of the top order to bat first caused concern at first, but later Bangladesh got through with Mirage’s batting. Mirage also has a great performance in bowling. He took two wickets. Shakib Al Hasan was also on fire. In the end, the hosts secured the series by winning two matches.
The One Day World Cup will be held on Indian soil in 2023. As hosts, India will look to retain the title. Meanwhile, according to statistics, Bangladesh is also in good form in ODI cricket. So many people are seeing the potential of Bangladesh. BCB President Nazmul Hasan Papon is optimistic that Bangladesh will play well in the next World Cup.
