Bangladesh ODI skipper Tamim Iqbal said that his side has the potential to be the best unit in the world after the Tigers’ sealed their maiden 10-wicket victory in ODIs in their final match against Ireland at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on Thursday. 

Bangladesh sealed their first-ever 10-wicket victory in ODIs when the Tamim Iqbal-led side thrashed Ireland in the final match of the three-game series at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on Thursday.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) did not include all-rounder Afif Hossain in the 14-member squad announced for the upcoming three-match T20I series against Ireland in Chattogram.

Bangladesh head coach Chandika Hathurusingha lauded the Tigers’ ODI and Test skipper Shakib Al Hasan for reaching the milestone of 7000 ODI runs in ODIs, saying that had the premier all-rounder played in conditions like England, Australia, or even India, he would have scored around 12,000 runs in the 50-over format.

Mushfiqur Rahim’s sleek carnage was a sight to behold for the plush crowd attending the game at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium today. The batter got 100 off 60 deliveries, the fastest ODI ton by a Bangladesh batter and it hooked Liton Das as well.

Towhid Hridoy was shaped by unfortunate long before his first international appearance for Bangladesh national team. In 2013, a ‘fake’ cricket academy in Banasree embezzled money from him deceitfully. His family suffered as they had to mortgage land for a young Hridoy to join that academy but his career faced early setback. Batting with the likes of Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim yesterday, Towhid showcased his own talent. He talked to The Daily Star’s Abdullah Al Mehdi on facing deceit when pursuing cricket, and support of his family through difficult times. He also talked about batting with Mushfiqur Rahim yesterday and gave his opinion on Mashrafe Bin Mortaza’s comment during the BPL regarding his national team call up.

After helping Bangladesh complete a series sweep over world champions England in the shortest format, top-order batter Najmul Hossain Shanto earned big gains in the T20I batting rankings.

England's 3-0 defeat in their Twenty20 series in Bangladesh was a real "eye-opener" for the world champions, white-ball coach Matthew Mott said.

From being a constant subject of ridicule on social media to becoming the toast of the town, Najmul Hossain Shanto has seen it all.

"To finish the way we did today will leave a bit of a sour taste in our mouths but it also should act as an eye-opener for us on where we need to improve," Mott said.

England’s World Cup-winning skipper Jos Buttler admitted that his side were ‘outplayed’ in the three-match T20I series, in which the visitors were whitewashed by hosts Bangladesh.   

Bangladesh T20I and Test skipper Shakib Al Hasan admitted that one particular over from Mustafizur Rahman ‘changed the game completely’ as he talked following the Tigers’ 16-run victory in the third T20I against England at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur today. 

The last time the current world champions suffered a series whitewash in this format were in 2014 when they lost 3-0 against Australia. Bangladesh, on the other hand, enjoyed a first three-match series sweep in this format for the first time since doing the same against Ireland in 2012. 

Opener Liton Das ended a lean patch with his career-best T20I score while Najmul Hossain Shanto continued his terrific form with yet another solid knock/ as Bangladesh amassed 158 for two wickets in the third and final T20I against England in Mirpur today. 

Opener Liton Das brought up his fifty as he and in-form batter Najmul Hossain Shanto kept the scoreboard moving at a decent pace after Bangladesh got off to a commanding start in the third and final T20I against England in Mirpur today. 

Thanks to openers Liton Das and Rony Talukdar, Bangladesh got off to a very commanding start in their third T20I against England in Mirpur today. 

England won the toss and elected to bowl against Bangladesh in the third T20I of the three-match series at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur today.

Skipper Shakib Al Hasan lauded the team's effort after Bangladesh registered a historic maiden T20I series win over the world champions England by beating the visitors by four wickets in the second of the three-match series at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur on Sunday. 

Bangladesh became the only team ever to have beaten a reigning world champion in their first assignment of that particular format since the World Cup as the Shakib Al Hasan-led side clinched the three-match T20I series, with a game in hand, against the ODI and T20 World Champions England on Sunday.

With the Sher-e-Bangla surface offering a lot of grip and turn for the slower bowlers, Mehedi Hasan Miraz, in for Shamim Patwary for this match, turned the screws on England with his best figures of four for 12.
