Did the England team, which won the World Cup just four months ago, think in a nightmare that they would have to come back to Bangladesh and be whitewashed? But that’s what actually happened. Bangladesh won all the three-match T20 series and left the world champions. In the last match of the series in Mirpur, the home of Bangladesh cricket, Team Tiger won by 16 runs.

England was hit in the third ball of the innings in the run chase at Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla. Liton Das stumped Phil Salt (0) off the bowling of anointed spinner Tanvir Islam. In the next over, Taskin gave lbw to Dawid Malan but he survived with a review. His partnership with captain Jos Buttler was frozen. 47 runs came in the Powerplay. England took control of the match. Mustafizur Rahman broke the partnership of 95 runs off 76 balls by catching Dawid Malan in the gloves of Liton Das, who scored 53 off 47 balls. This is his 100th wicket in T20Is. In the next ball, Butler, who scored 40 runs in 31 balls, was run out by Miraj’s great throw.

Bangladesh returned to the match. England needed 51 runs in the last five overs. Taskin returned to Moin Ali, who scored 9 runs in the 17th over with a six. Miraz took the catch at the boundary. In the last ball of the same over, the star pacer bowled Ben Duckett (11) in a great delivery. I want 36 runs off 18 balls. In the 19th over, Shakib caught Sam Curran (4) in Tanvir’s palm. The sixth wicket fell for 128 runs. In the last over, 27 runs were needed. Chris Woakes hit a boundary in the first two balls of Tanvir. But up to that point. England could not score more than 142 runs. Bangladesh won the match by 16 runs.

Earlier on Tuesday, Bangladesh scored 158 runs for 2 wickets after losing the toss in the third and final match of the series. Liton Das and Rony Talukdar gave a great start by making an opening partnership of 55 runs. Rony Talukdar, who scored 3 fours and 24 off 22 balls, was cut and bowled by Adil Rashid but Liton went on to score big today. He picked up the ninth fifty of his career in 41 balls. His pair with Nazmul Hossain Shanto was frozen. Liton, who survived with an easy catch after the fifty, became even more destructive. At one time, his century did not seem impossible.

However, Liton’s innings of 73 off 57 balls with 10 fours and a six was stopped by Chris Jordan’s ball to Phil Salt. This is the best innings of his career in T20. The pace of scoring runs slowed down as Shanto broke the 84-run partnership in 58 balls. Captain Shakib came to the wicket. The umpire lbw to Shanto for a personal 40 runs but he survived with a review. There were not many runs in the end. Although 8 wickets in hand, only 27 runs came in the last 5 overs! Bangladesh scored 158 runs for 2 wickets. Shanto remained unbeaten on 47 off 36 balls with 1 four and 2 sixes and Shakib remained unbeaten on 4 off 6 balls.

This is the first time Bangladesh has won a series against a strong England. That too in T20. This time the opportunity has come to whitewash the world champions. To that end, let’s take a look at the possible XI of Bangladesh.

Bangladesh will take on England in a T20I match at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur at 3:00 pm on Tuesday. The red-green team is leading 2-0 in the three-match series.

There is no sign of any change in Bangladesh’s opening in the last match. Rony Talukdar and Liton Das can still be seen there. Najumal Hossain Shanto and Towhid Hridoy are almost certain in the top order.

Nurul Hasan Sohan can also get a place in place of Afif Hossain today. Apart from this, there may not be much change in the bowling end. However, it is not surprising that Tanvir Islam’s call in place of Nasum Ahmed is not surprising. Tanvir, the highest wicket-taker in the ninth edition of the BPL, can make his debut.

On the other hand, captain Shakib Al Hasan is quite successful with the youth-based team. Shamim Patwari was kept in the XI in the first match, but he was dropped in the second match. He is unlikely to return in this match. Mehedi Hasan Miraz, who got a chance in the team in his place, became the man of the match. So Miraz will play in the last match, that’s for sure.

Bangladesh’s possible XI: Shakib Al Hasan (captain), Rony Talukdar, Liton Das, Nazmul Hossain Shanto, Towhid Hridoy, Nurul Hasan Sohan, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Tanvir Islam, Mustafizur Rahman, Taskin Ahmed, Hasan Mahmud.

The Gallery of Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla roared as Chris Jordan’s ball went toward the boundary by touching Taskin’s bat. The excitement of the match took the form of victory. A new history has been written in the history of cricket. Bangladesh won the T20 series against world champions England! Again in T20, the format in which Bangladesh is the weakest. Shakib-Hatura forces made history at the beginning of the new path of T20 by making huge changes in the team. With a 4-wicket win, they won the series for the first time in any format against world champions England.

Liton Das opened the account of runs by hitting a boundary in the chasing. But he couldn’t go very far. Sam Curran was caught in the boundary by Phil Salt for 9 runs. The run was slow. Bangladesh lost Rony Talukdar (9) in the first ball of the sixth over. Hunter Jofra Archer. No 2 wickets for 27 runs. 32 runs came in the powerplay. After that, Nazmul Hossain Shanto and Touhid Hridoy were batting. Hridoy, who hit two spectacular boundaries, was dismissed for 17 off 18 balls. He was playing calmly, there was no pressure to score runs. Shanto survived the leg before in the umpires’ call for 22 runs. A ball later, Adil Rashid got out of the boundary. Shanto’s partner Miraj came down to five. In this pair, Bangladesh came close to winning.

However, Miraj, who scored 20 runs in 16 balls with 2 sixes, and captain Shakib returned to zero runs in the match. With 13 runs away from victory, a ball of 148 kilometers from Jofra Archer almost came close to the boundary by uprooting the stumps of Afif (2). There was a cloud of fear in the Bangladesh camp. Won’t you come to the shore and drown? Taskin came to the wicket. Chris Jordan removed all the pressure with a great boundary. In the same over, a boundary came from Taskin’s bat. In the next ball, Tasikon hit another boundary to take the team to the port of victory. 7 balls and 4 wickets in hand. Shanto remained unbeaten on 47 balls playing a crucial inning of 46 runs with 3 fours. Taskin, who played the winning shot, scored an unbeaten 8 runs in 3 balls with 2 fours. Jofra Archer took 3 wickets for 13 runs.

Earlier, England lost the toss and batted first and was bundled out for 117 runs. Taskin gave the breakthrough for 16 runs in the third over. Dawid Malan (5) returned to Hasan Mahmud’s palm. Moeen Ali was dropped to three instead of the batting line-up. 50 runs came in the Powerplay. Captain Shakib came to bowl in the seventh over. Success in the third ball. The Bangladesh captain sent back Phil Salt, who scored 25 runs off 19 balls in a great return catch. Then Hasan Mahmud came on stage. This young pacer still bowled England captain Jos Buttler (4). The English did not benefit from reducing Moin Ali to three. Mehedi Miraj, who got a chance in the XI, returned the all-rounder who scored 15 runs in 17 balls.

In the 15th over, the spinner hit the pair. Sam Curran (12) and Chris Woakes (0) returned to the second and fourth balls of the over. Wicketkeeper Liton Das shared a big achievement by stumping both of them. No 6 wickets for 91 runs! Miraz’s fourth victim is Chris Jordan (3). Mustafizur Rahman returned Ben Duckett (28) in the last over. Nazmul Hossain Shanto came running a lot and took a catch in a great dive. Rehan Ahmed (11) was run out in the fourth ball. Jofra Archer (0) was run out in the last ball and England was bundled out for 117 runs. Miraz took 4 wickets for just 12 runs in 4 overs. Taskin, Mustafiz, Shakib, and Hasan Mahmud took one wicket each.

The series loss against England has interrupted the Tigers’ streak of six and a half consecutive ODI series wins at home. After losing the series against the English in 2016, Bangladesh won seven consecutive series. Although expectations were not met in the ODI series, Bangladesh snatched the victory by showing dominance in the first T20I. Shakib Al Hasan’s team has a chance to win the series against the world champions at the home of cricket in Mirpur.

Chittagong’s Sagarika is known as the Tigers’ lucky venue. However, the Tigers lost here in the last match of the ODI series against India. On the other hand, Liton Das’s team won both matches in the India series in Mirpur. Opposite picture in England series. After Tamim Iqbal retook charge, Bangladesh lost two consecutive matches against world champions England in Mirpur. However, the shame of whitewash prevented the British from being easily captured in Chittagong. After losing the ODI series, the Bangladesh team may not have dreamed of losing the English in T20. But the bowling department of the Tigers was able to limit the great batting order of the Englishmen in Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium with few runs. After that, Bangladesh got an unforgettable victory with the bat of Shanto-Sakib-Roni. It was the Tigers’ first win against the English in this format.

Along with that, the Chittagong phase ended with a hundred percent victory for the red and green jersey holders. Bangladesh is now standing in front of the possibility of winning the series in Mirpur. A win can only float away the joy of a series win against the world champions. Bangladesh has yet to bask in the joy of winning a series in any format against this only country in Test cricket. Shakib Al Hasan’s team is entering the field to secure a series win against England on Sunday (March 12). The unexpected win will give the Tigers extra confidence. However, Jos Buttler’s team will also try to return to the series after defeat. So it will not be easy for the Tigers to achieve their goals. In this case, the biggest challenge can be the wicket of their own country. Despite a bad start with the ball in Chittagong, the pacers made a great comeback and tied England within the limits of the Tiger batsmen’s ability. But can Hasan Mahmud-Mustafizur Rahman-Taskin Ahmed burn in the same way on Mirpur’s wicket? That is the question. Mirpur’s slow-spinning wicket did more harm than good for Bangladesh in the ODI series. Bangladesh batsmen suffered from Adil Rashid’s leg spin.

So how can the Tigers plan to kill the English in Mirpur? Breaking the winning eleven will come to change the team? – The possibility cannot be completely ruled out. Bangladesh played three pacers and two spinners on the Chittagong wicket. Bangladesh team management may not show more courage to play three pacers on the spinning wicket of Mirpur. In that case, right-arm spinner Mehdi Hasan Miraj can be included as the third spinner along with Shakib Al Hasan and Nasum Ahmed. In that case, Mirage’s batting skills can also come into consideration. When three spinners play, the winning eleven has to change. Whose forehead will burn in that case? Any one of the pacers can burn foreheads. The tigers can play two pacers with three spinners. Hasan Mahmud, who bowled well in the previous match, can retain his place in this match. In that case, either Taskin or Mustafiz can be excluded. Taskin will be slightly ahead due to the recent form. However, Mustafiz’s effectiveness on Mirpur’s wicket can also be decisive in this case. Shamim Patwari, who was in the eleven in the last match, did not get a chance in either the batting or bowling corner. The sword can fall on him too. You can also get another game. The TTigers’management, which is in a crisis of power hitters, may also check his batting ability.

Bangladesh team is full of confidence after playing two matches in Chittagong. After defeating England in the third ODI, the Tigers also won the first T20I. Which has increased the anxiety of the party. On Sunday (March 12), Bangladesh has a chance to make history by defeating England at the home of cricket in Dhaka.

Bangladesh is now standing in front of the possibility of winning the T20 series in Mirpur. A win can only float away the joy of a series win against the world champions. Bangladesh has yet to bask in the satisfaction of winning a series in any format against this only country in Test cricket. Bangladesh has changed under the leadership of Chandika Hathurusinghe and Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan. Under Hathurusingha, Bangladesh had a golden period from 2015 to 2017. There is no doubt that his arrival has brought about a change in the national team. And what can I say about Shakib? A new Bangladesh has started with that captaincy. An unexpected win against England in the first T20I will give the Tigers extra confidence. However, Jos Buttler’s team will also try to return to the series after defeat. So it will not be easy for the Tigers to achieve their goals.

In this case, the biggest challenge can be the wicket of their own country. Despite a bad start with the ball in Chittagong, the pacers made a great comeback and tied England within the limits of the Tiger batsmen’s ability. But can Hasan Mahmud-Mustafizur Rahman-Taskin Ahmed burn in the same way on Mirpur’s wicket? That is the question. Mirpur’s slow-spinning wicket did more harm than good for Bangladesh in the ODI series. Bangladesh batsmen suffered from Adil Rashid’s leg spin. So maybe Bangladesh can bring a change in the second match. Generally, Bangladesh does not want to change the winning combination. But, if there is a change in the team then an additional spinner can be played.

In that case, two left-handers Shakib Al Hasan and Nasum Ahmed, and off-spinner Mehdi Hasan will likely get a place in Miraj’s team. And if Miraz gets a chance, then Taskin or Mustafiz can be dropped from the teamIt is assumed that Bangladesh will keep the XI. However, there may be changes in the English team after the first match loss. England may play one more spinner in the XI today to take advantage of the pitch.

The series loss against England has interrupted the Tigers’ streak of six and a half consecutive ODI series wins at home. After losing the series against the English in 2016, the Tigers won seven consecutive series. However, even though expectations were not met in the ODI series, Bangladesh snatched victory by showing dominance in the first T20I. Shakib Al Hasan’s team has a chance to win the series against the world champions at the home of cricket in Mirpur.

Bangladesh won both matches after playing two games in Chittagong; In addition to one ODI, T20I also won the first match. This is the first T20 win against England. After the victory in the first T20 against England, it is believed that the Tigers will enter the field with the same eleven. Because Bangladesh usually does not want to change the winning combination. But, if there is a team change, who will be left out and who will Bangladesh take?

Generally, the Mirpur pitch is a slower and low bounce than the Chittagong pitch. So extra spinners can be played here. In that case, two left-handers Shakib Al Hasan and Nasum Ahmed along with off-spinner Mehdi Hasan are likely to get a place in Miraj’s team. And if Miraz gets a chance, then Taskin or Mustafiz can be dropped from the team. It is assumed that Bangladesh will keep the XI. However, there may be changes in the English team after the first match loss. England may play one more spinner in the XI today to take advantage of the pitch.

Possible XI of Bangladesh
Rony Talukder, Liton Das, Nazmul Hossain Shanto, Shakib Al Hasan (captain), Shamim Hossain, Tauhid Hriday, Afif Hossain, Nasum Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman/Taskeen Ahmed, Mehdi Hasan Miraj and Hasan Mahmud.

England’s probable XI
Jos Buttler (captain), Phil Salt, David Malan, Ben Duckett, Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, Chris Woakes, Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid, Jofra Archer, and Mark Wood.

The Tigers won a dream victory against T20 world champion England by playing well in batting and bowling. Batting first, England collected 156 runs at Zahoor Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong. The Tigers lost 4 wickets and reached the target with two overs in hand.

After losing the match, English batter Salt said that the match turned around with Shanto’s bat. In the post-match press conference, opener Salt said, ‘We know, we could have finished the innings better. Losing two wickets in a row in T20 always hurts. After that, the game is very difficult for the two new batters. But that’s part of the game. On another day we might have finished with 180 runs. That didn’t happen today.’

Salt thinks Shanto’s bat turned the match around, “He played very well in the run chase. I think that’s when the match turned. Their openers also got off to a good start. The middle overs have also been good. Whoever came in saw boundaries regularly at the start of the over. Singles-doubles are also good. I think they are now sitting in the dressing room thinking, in such conditions, this is the perfect run chase, which they want.”

Salt claims that it is very difficult to play without knowing the conditions of Bangladesh in advance, “Of course, the beginning was slow. Later on, we felt the speed increase a lot during our bowling. And they used that speed very well. They also used their condition. It is difficult to play here without understanding the conditions.”
