Unsung Heroes in Bangladesh’s Triumph Over Afghanistan

Centuries and Record-breaking Batting

In a remarkable display of batting prowess, Bangladesh witnessed twin centuries from Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mehedi Hasan Miraz during the Asia Cup, marking only the fifth time such an occurrence has transpired in ODIs. These centuries propelled the Tigers to achieve their highest-ever ODI total in the Asia Cup, laying a solid foundation for a resounding victory. However, what may have gone unnoticed amid the batting brilliance was the indispensable contribution of the Tigers’ bowling unit, led by Taskin Ahmed and his compatriots.

The Bowlers' Unheralded Impact

In a must-win game for Bangladesh, the challenge of not only securing victory but also improving the net run rate loomed large, making it an even more daunting task for the bowlers. They had to dismiss the opposition swiftly while maintaining a significant margin of runs on a batsman-friendly pitch at the Gaddafi Stadium.

Adding to the pressure was the decision by the team management to rely on five specialist bowlers, reducing skipper Shakib Al Hasan’s options should any of the frontline bowlers falter. However, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, and Hasan Mahmud, collectively hailed as one of the nation’s finest pace bowling units, rose to the occasion.

Pace Bowling Trio's Brilliance

The trio of pacers combined forces to claim eight wickets, effectively dismantling the Afghan batting lineup, which was restricted to a total of 245. Taskin Ahmed led the charge with four wickets, Shoriful Islam contributed three crucial breakthroughs, and Hasan Mahmud added one more scalp. Their performance showcased strategic excellence and adaptability on a pitch known for favoring batsmen.

A Mentor's Perspective

Taskin Ahmed’s mentor and local pace bowling coach, Mahbub Ali Zaki, commended the pacers’ resilience in challenging conditions. He acknowledged the demanding nature of the task on a batting-friendly surface but highlighted the pacers’ consistent and well-paced bowling as the key to their success.

Shakib's Trust in the Pace Unit

Zaki pointed out that Shakib Al Hasan’s decision to field five specialist bowlers was a testament to his confidence in the pace attack. The organized and disciplined approach displayed by the pacers in recent times reinforced Shakib’s trust in their abilities.

Strength in Diversity

Looking ahead to future challenges in the Asia Cup, Zaki emphasized the diversity within the pace unit. Taskin’s aggressive style, Mahmud’s reliance on variations, and Shoriful’s ability to swing the ball provide a well-rounded arsenal. Zaki believes that harnessing their strengths will enable this pace unit to excel and achieve remarkable feats for Bangladesh in the days to come.

Bangladesh all-rounders Mehedi Hasan Miraz and Taijul Islam have improved their latest Test rankings by the International Cricket Council (ICC).

The ICC released the weekly rankings of cricketers on Wednesday. Miraz and Taijul have advanced to the list of ICC’s top bowlers. These two spinners of Bangladesh have gone one step ahead. Miraz has come from 26 to 25. And Taijul has risen from 25 to 24. Shakib Al Hasan is at number 28.

There has been no change in the top three in the all-rounder rankings. Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin are number one and two respectively. The two Indian spinning all-rounders are doing well in the ongoing Border Gavaskar Trophy. Shakib is in third place.

James Anderson is now the top bowler ahead of Pat Cummins. He bowled brilliantly in the first Test against New Zealand at Mount Maunganui at the Bay Oval, which ended a few days ago. He took 7 wickets at an average of 7.71 in the Mount Maunganui Test.

Anderson has set a record by rising to the top. At the age of 40 years and 207 days, the English pacer has become the top bowler in white clothes.

Anderson’s previous record was in 1936. In 1936, Australian leg-spinner Clarrie Grimmett became the top bowler in Tests at the age of 44 years and 2 months. Anderson also set a record by teaming up with Stuart Broad. The Anderson-Broad pair played 133 Tests and took 1009 wickets. Glenn McGrath and Shane Warne have taken 1,001 wickets in 104 Tests.
