Can Bangladesh Win the World Cup 2023?
Over the past 12 years, Bangladesh’s exceptional performance and high-quality cricket on the subcontinent wickets have earned them a place among the favorites. The team’s prowess and consistent display of skills have led to them being shortlisted as strong contenders for the World Cup 2023. The most surprising fact is that Bangladesh has whitewashed its opponents 10 times in the last 12 years in the ODI format. However, series wins are not counted in this list. From this, everyone understands how strong Bangladesh is in ODIs in subcontinental conditions. Ever since the T20 whitewash of England, the chances of Bangladesh winning the World Cup have become more obvious.
Bangladesh is gradually becoming a great team in batting, bowling, and fielding. One of the best bowlers like Mustafiz in this team now tends to lose his chance in the XI. Taskin-Hasan-Ebadot trio is considered one of the best-pacing trios.
Miraz’s pairing with Shakib Al Hasan in spin can be dangerous. If three pacers can do their job well, two spinners can destroy a team. But if the game is played on the spin pitch, who will be the third spinner along with Shakib and Miraz is still in question. However, the team is working on that. A leg spinner is being groomed with that in mind.
Besides Nasum, Taijul are also staying in the race for only one spot. It can be said that the Bangladesh team is almost confirmed for the World Cup. The batting order from 1-6 has also been fixed. Tamim, Litton, Shanto, Shakib, Towhid, and Mushfiq will bat from 1 to 6. But no. 7 is the main concern for the Bangladesh team because this position requires a finisher. Yasir Ali, Afif, Mahmudullah, and Mosaddek are the main contenders for batting at no 7.

Final Words
So far, we have discussed the scheldude of Bangladesh in the 2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup tournament. Bangladesh has a great possibility to proceed to the semifinal. In that case, we will get to see at least one more match. And if the Tigers reach the final, we will see them playing on November 19.
Labuschagne century resists England push for series-leveling Ashes win
England’s prospects of leveling the Ashes series were just about alive after Joe Root claimed the only wicket of a rain-ruined fourth day at Old Trafford on Saturday.
Just 30 overs were possible during a gloomy afternoon, with the morning and evening sessions wiped out by the weather, as Australia finished 61 runs behind on 214-5 in its second innings.

With the forecast dreadful again for the fifth and final day, England badly needed to make inroads but hit a brick wall as Marnus Labuschagne converted his overnight 44 into a vital 111.
Labuschagne has had a lean series by his own high standards but stepped up for his side to nudge them closer to the draw that would guarantee the urn joins them on the flight back to Australia.
At 2-1 down, England needs to find a way through the showers to square the ledger and force a decider at the Oval next week.
Also read: BCB Announces T20I Squad for Afghanistan Series
Labuschagne shared a 103-run stand with Mitch Marsh as the duo threatened to shut the door completely.
Root made the most of an unexpected role with the ball to land an important blow. England was using the part-time spinner only due to bad light, with the umpires deciding the visibility deteriorated too much for the seamers to operate. Root's unpredictable style added a new threat to an attack that had fallen flat in tricky conditions.
England's pace unit was neutralized by the damp outfield, which softened up the ball and wrecked its chances of getting it to swing.
With first-choice spinner Moeen Ali looking out of sorts as he struggled to find any rhythm, Root took it upon himself to press the issue.
Also read: BCB Announces Bangladesh ODI Squad for Afghanistan Series
He served up a variety of different deliveries, getting some to kick and holding others back to gain drift.
He almost had Labuschagne on 93 when he sent one down seam up and shaped it away, but a thick edge sailed hard and fast past Zak Crawley at slip.
Labuschagne landed blows of his own, launching Root for two consecutive sixes over wide long-on, and made his way to three figures for just the second time on foreign soil and the 11th time overall.
There were just four overs left when Labuschagne stepped back in his crease and shaped to cut Root on a tight line around off stump. Jonny Bairstow did well to hold the edge after juggling it. Labuschagne's unsuccessful review earned him an extra send-off from a crowd which waited all day for something to celebrate.
He left Marsh to carry on the fight with 31 from 107 deliveries, a watchful knock that saw him shelve his natural attacking instincts.
Root mustered a half-chance against the allrounder late on, but Harry Brook was unable to grab a fiercely tricky one-handed catch at short leg.
With Cameron Green joining Marsh at the crease, Australia will feel it has enough to withstand whatever England can throw at them on day five and perhaps creep into a lead of their own.
England’s seamers had a tough time of it, with the quartet of James Anderson, Chris Woakes, Mark Wood and Stuart Broad laboring without luck before being withdrawn by the officials.
With no real demons in the pitch, precious little sign of low bounce, and a ball that died a little every time it was stroked into the wet grass, it took Wood’s pace to conjure anything out of the ordinary.
He cranked it up to 93 mph (150 kph) in a bid to take conditions out of the equation, but the closest he came to making it tell was a nasty blow to Labuschagne's finger.
Fargana leads the way as Bangladesh and India tie 3rd ODI, also series
Bangladesh Women came close to registering their first-ever ODI series win against the star-studded India but fell just short. Nonetheless, they can take pride in not losing the series against a team considered much stronger than Bangladesh.
At the end of the match, Harmanpreet Kaur, the Indian captain, expressed her frustration with the umpiring in this series. She said, "I think therea are a lot for us to learn. We were very surprised by the umpiring in this series."
"The next time we come to Bangladesh, we will have to deal with this type of umpiring," she added.
Winning the toss and electing to bat first, Bangladesh got off to a solid start with opener Shamima Sultana scoring a patient half-century. However, it was Fargana Hoque who stole the show, crafting a brilliant 107 off 160 deliveries—marking the maiden ODI century by a Bangladeshi woman. Fargana hit seven boundaries in her innings and single-handedly held the Bangladesh innings together as wickets fell at regular intervals at the other end.
In the end, Bangladesh managed to post a competitive total of 225/4 in their 50 overs, thanks to Fargana's heroics. Sneh Rana was the pick of the bowlers for India, taking two wickets for 45 runs, while Devika Vaidya took the other wicket.
Chasing 226 for victory, India got off to a poor start, losing opener Shafali Verma in the second over. Yastika Bhatia also fell cheaply, leaving India in trouble at 32/2. However, Harleen Deol and Smriti Mandhana put on a crucial partnership to steady the innings. In the third-wicket stand, they added 107 runs to the board.
Deol played a brilliant knock of 77 off 108 deliveries, hitting nine boundaries in the process. She was involved in two important partnerships, first with Mandhana and then with Jemimah Rodrigues. Mandhana posted 59 off 85 balls, while Jemimah remained unbeaten on 33 off 45 balls.
However, India lost wickets at crucial junctures, including Deol, who was run out in the 42nd over, which kept the game in the balance.
With one over to go, India needed 3 runs to win. However, Bangladesh held their nerve and managed to tie the game, with India finishing on 225/10 in 49.3 overs.
Marufa conceded two runs off the first two balls of the last over, and on the third ball, she scalped the wicket of Meghna Singh, confirming India's inability to win this match. India lost the last five wickets for just 34 runs.
For Bangladesh, Nahida Akter picked up three wickets, and Marufa Akter scalped two, while Fahima Khatun and Sultana Khatun took a wicket each.
“We are looking forward to carrying this moment. As a batting unit, we collapse usually, but from here, we can have many takeaways moving forward,” Bangladesh captain Nigar Sultana said.
With this thrilling tie, Bangladesh managed to level the series. The Tigress had won the first match of the series, but India bounced back in the second match.
Fargana becomes first Bangladeshi to score a century in Women's ODIs
Right-handed opener Fargana Hoque Pinky made history on Saturday (July 22, 2023) by becoming the first Bangladeshi woman to score a hundred in women's ODI.
She achieved this milestone during the third match of the three-match ODI series against India at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka.
Prior to Fargana's century, the highest individual score by a Bangladeshi woman in ODIs was 75, achieved by former captain Salma Khatun against India in 2013.

Winning the toss in Saturday's match, Bangladesh chose to bat first and posted a total of 225 for four wickets in 50 overs.
