Analysis of the Bangladesh Squad for ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024
Bangladesh have been quite late to announce the squad compared to the other teams. It implies that the selectors had some doubts over 2-3 players for this time.
Bangladesh would be very dependent on the bowling unit this time as they are the most in-form department in the team. Taskin Ahmed, with his new vice-captain duty, is supposed to lead the attack along with Shoriful Islam and Mustafizur Rahman. The inclusion of Tanzim Hasan gives new dynamics to the pace attack. It is reported that there was a competition between him and Mohammad Saifuddin in the team for a spot. However, the long break from international cricket and the last game against Zimbabwe didn’t help Saifuddin’s cause for breaking into the World Cup squad this time.
The spin attack would be led by Shakib Al Hasan who showed his guile in the last two games against Zimbabwe. Along with him Mahedi Hasan, Rishad Hossain, and Tanvir Islam were selected making the most dynamic spin attack Bangladesh ever had. This unit comprises all of the Left-arm orthodox, Right-arm off-spinner, and Right-arm leg-spinner. Mahmudullah Riyad can do a good job as a part-timer too.
As the top order is not very dependable, the Bangladesh team would mostly depend on the middle order for runs. This unit consists of the vast experience of Shakib Al Hasan and Mahmudullah Riyad. At the same time, it consists of fresh bloods like Tawhid Hridoy and Jaker Ali Anik. It makes an interesting combination of the calm and bold batters for a middle-order.
The top-order is the most worrisome part in this squad with batters misfiring quite often. Tanzid Tamim has scored two half-centuries in his first 5 matches which is a breath of fresh air. But Litton Das, Soumya Sarkar, and skipper Nazmul Hossain Shanto are struggling for runs. This is especially concerning considering Litton and Shanto were the best performers from Bangladesh’s last ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.

Key Players for Bangladesh Squad
Shakib Al Hasan
Shakib Al Hasan will always be the most important player for Bangladesh cricket as long as he stays. He is the highest wicket-taker and 8th-highest run-scorer in the history of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. He has been the most key player for Bangladesh whenever the team plays and he will be this time sure. Although his batting is a concern, fans can hope for him to figure it out.
Mahmudullah Riyad
A rejuvenated Mahmudullah Riyad will be the key player to hold the batting unit together this time. He is one of the most in-form batters for Bangladesh right now scoring two half-centuries this year with an average of 71.5. He has reshaped the middle-order for the Bangladesh team and the team will expect him to play a big role this time.
Taskin Ahmed
The new vice-captain of Bangladesh cricket will lead the bowling attack, especially the pace attack of the team. He was the player of the series in Bangladesh’s recent series against Zimbabwe where he picked 8 wickets. He has an injury problem which might see him on the sidelines for some games. But whenever he is on the field, he is the biggest asset for the team.
Nazmul Hossain Shanto
The misfiring skipper has a huge role of leading the team from the front. He could only score 81 runs in the series against Zimbabwe which is not a good sign. However, Bangladesh won two games in the last ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. Shanto scored 71(55) and 25(20) in those games. Also, he scored half-centuries in both the wins of Bangladesh at the ICC ODI World Cup 2023. It shows that he has to play a big role for Bangladesh to win. This time is not supposed to be any different either.

Verdict
Bangladesh have picked up a quite dynamic bowling unit for both the pace and spin department. They have a good combination of youth and experience in the middle order as well. However, the top order does not convince most of the fans. It would be interesting to see how far the Tigers go being in the group of the death in ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024.

Out of the 16 teams, 12 teams qualified for the next stages. These 12 teams are divided into two groups. And they will fight to proceed to the semifinals. The article will provide the Women’s Under-19 World Cup 2023’s super six-stage preview.
ICC U-19 Women’s T20 World Cup: Super Six Stage Group 1 Preview
The top three point holders of Group A and Group D will compete for the semifinal in Super Six group 1. The six teams are India, Bangladesh, Australia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and the United Arab Emirates. All the Group 1 matches will start at 1:45 PM local time in South Africa or 5:45 PM in Bangladesh time.
India vs Australia: January 21
The teams will meet on January 21 at North-West University No1 Ground, Potchefstroom, for the first Super Six match. It will take place at 5:45 PM Bangladesh time. The Indian under-19 Women’s national cricket team began their World Cup campaign on a strong note, successfully navigating the group stage without a single defeat. They emerged at the top of Group D’s standings, earning six points and boasting a net run rate of +4.039.

On the other hand, The Australian team faced a surprising defeat against Bangladesh in the tournament’s opening match. However, they quickly rebounded by winning consecutive games, earning second place in the standings with four points and a net run rate of +3.015. They now face a challenging task as they go up against a well-performed Indian squad in their first match of the Super Six stage. But, the match will surely be competitive as both teams have some talented batters and bowlers.
Bangladesh vs South Africa: January 21
Bangladesh entered the Super Six after beating Australia, Sri Lanka, and the United States with a burst of self-confidence in batting, bowling, fielding, and body language. The next opponent today is South Africa. The game will start at 5:45 PM Bangladesh time at Senwes Park, Potchefstroom. If Bangladesh defeats the hosts today, then surely there will be no more difficult obstacles to reaching the semifinals.
South Africa, on the other hand, lost one group-stage match against India. Apart from this, they had a great overall performance. But, they might fall behind in front of Bangladesh’s confidence. South Africa has a strong bowling lineup as they have stopped UAE and Scotland under 70 runs. Hence, Bangladesh might have to be careful against South Africa.

India vs Sri Lanka: January 22
This match will take place on January 22 at 5:45 PM Bangladesh time at Senwes Park, Potchefstroom. India is a top favorite of this Women’s U19 World Cup. As per their group stage performance, it is expected that they will reach the semifinal without any obstacles. India’s tremendous batting and bowling lineup have the capability to beat Sri Lanka.
However, Sri Lanka’s batting lineup is comparatively weaker than India’s. Out of their three-group stage matches, Sri Lanka has won only one match, that too against the USA. So, there is a great chance that India’s U 19 Women will dominate over Sri Lanka.
United Arab Emirates vs Australia: January 23
UAE and Australia will meet on January 23 at Senwes Park. Comparing their recent performance, Australia won three matches in the last five matches. On the other hand, UAE won only one match, which was their first World Cup match against Scotland. So, it is predictable that UAE has little chance of beating Australia.

Australia has been having a good run in the World Cup except for the only loss against Bangladesh. Other than that, Australia has a good bowling lineup. As we have seen, they destroyed Sri Lanka and all out in 51 runs. Also, they stopped the USA in 64 runs. So, Australia will surely beat the UAE.
South Africa vs Sri Lanka: January 24
This will be the second match for both teams. Regardless of their Super Six’s first-match performance, it can be said that South Africa’s winning chance is great here. South African bowlers such as Miane Smit and Madison Landsman may make it difficult for Sri Lanka to have a big score.
United Arab Emirates vs Bangladesh: January 25
UAE reached the Super Six stage with a win against Scotland. And the team has lost the other two matches against India and South Africa. As per the recent performance in the Women’s U19 T20 World Cup, the Bangladesh cricket team is way stronger than the Arab Emirates. Hence, Bangladesh’s chance to win the game is huge. On top of that, Bangladesh’s strong bowling and batting lineup will surely dominate UAE.

Women’s Under-19 T20 World Cup: Super Six Stage Group 2 Preview
The top three teams of Group B and Group C will compete for the semifinal in Super Six group 1. The six teams are New Zealand, England, Pakistan, West Indies, Ireland, and Rwanda. All the Group 2 matches will start at 1:45 PM local time in South Africa except the January 21 matches. The Group 2 matches on January 21 will begin at 10 AM local time in South Africa or 2 PM Bangladesh time.
Rwanda vs New Zealand: January 21
As expected, New Zealand has stopped Rwanda from under a hundred runs. Rwanda scored 96 runs in 20 overs, losing 7 wickets. On the other hand, New Zealand scored 99 runs in 16.1 overs and with the match by f wickets. So, it is an easy win for New Zealand.
Ireland vs England: January 21
While writing this article, Ireland vs England match was underway. And England earned a big score of 207 runs by losing only two wickets. Grace Scrivens scored 93 runs in 56 balls. It was expected that England would win the match with a big difference. The English team won the match by 121 runs as they stopped Ireland by 86 runs.
Read More: BCB announces new national contract for 2023
West Indies vs Rwanda: January 22
In their group stage, West Indies had some big innings against Ireland and Indonesia. However, they had a poor performance against New Zealand, and West Indies became all out in 19.2 overs and scored 68 runs only.
So, given the fact that the West Indies can perform well against a weaker team. Hence, They have a huge chance to win with a big difference against Rwanda.
Pakistan vs Ireland: January 23
Pakistan reached the Super Six by winning two games in their group stage. On the other hand, Ireland was in third place in group C. Pakistan’s only loss came against England. But they got an easy win against Zimbabwe and a competitive win against Rwanda.

Oh, the other hand, Ireland’s only win came against Indonesia. And it has been seen that Ireland could not perform well against a strong team. Hence, Pakistan’s winning probability is higher here.
New Zealand vs Pakistan: January 24
There is no doubt that the match will be highly competitive as both teams have a strong batting and bowling lineup. Pakistani batters such as Eyman Fatima and Syeda Aroob Shah can make a difference, while bowlers such as Anosha Nasir will surely put her maximum effort.
On the other hand, Anna Browning might hit a big score for New Zealand. New Zealand is unbeaten so far in the tournament. And they were consistent in the group stage. It is expected that New Zealand will reach the final with an unbeaten streak.

England vs West Indies: January 25
This is the last match of Super Six group 2. After a big win against Ireland, England’s net run rate is 4.775, which will surely help them to reach the semifinal. However, a win against West Indies will certainly lead them to the Semifinal.
Comparing their past performance, England is clearly ahead of the West Indies. English has an incredible batting lineup, while West Indies contains an average lineup. Hence, Liberty Heap, Niamh Holland, and Grace Scrivens will surely help England to have a big score. Given the fact of both teams’ performances, England will surely win the match.
How Will the Teams Go to The Semifinals?
The top two teams from each group will go to the semifinals by combining the points from the group stage and the points from the Super Six stage. However, if more than one team is tied on points in the Super Six phase, the highest number of wins in this group will be considered first. In that case, teams like Bangladesh and India, which have two wins in the group stage, will have an added advantage.
Read More: BPL 2023: Comilla continue on winning run
However, the situation is such that two teams cannot be separated by the number of wins alone in most cases. In that case, the net run rate will be considered.
Final Words
The top team from one group of the super six will face the runners-up of the other group in the semifinals. So, it is predicted that India, Australia, New Zealand, and England will proceed from the ICC Under-19 Women’s T20 World Cup's Super Six round to the semifinal round. However, cricket is a game of uncertainty. Hence, we will have to wait until January 25 and wait for the last match of Super Six.

Pakistan knocked New Zealand out of the T20 World Cup and marched to the final on Wednesday.
In the first semifinal of the event, Pakistan beat New Zealand by seven wickets at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
It’s the third time Pakistan booked a place in the T20 World Cup final. They appeared in a final for the first time in 2007 when they lost the final to India. But in 2009, they won the final beating Sri Lanka at Lord’s.
While chasing a fighting total of 152, both Pakistani openers — Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan — hit a fifty each and laid down an opening stand of more than 100 runs that eventually set the foundation for Pakistan to seal the match.
While Rizwan posted 57, Babar scored 53. After their departure, it was Mohammad Haris who kept the scorecard of Pakistan going. He scored 30 off 26 balls before falling prey to Mitchell Santner in the last ball of the 19th over.
Eventually, Pakistan reached the target of 153 for three in the 19.1 over and marched to the final that will be played on November 13 at Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne.

T20 World Cup: Passionate New Zealand or fortunate Pakistan, who will march to final?
New Zealand and Pakistan are all set to take on each other in the first semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2022 tomorrow at the famed Sydney Cricket Ground.
New Zealand has demonstrated their passion throughout the tournament whereas Pakistan mostly rode on their fortune.
New Zealand marched to the semi as the champions of Group 1 in the Super 12 stage where they beat Australia, Sri Lanka and Ireland, and lost to England. The other match against Afghanistan ended with no result due to bad weather.

And Pakistan, on the other hand, experienced a dramatic run in the Super 12 stage. They lost close matches to India and Zimbabwe and were on the verge of elimination. But the Netherlands had created a great opportunity for them by beating South Africa.
That historic win of the Netherlands transformed the Super 12 clash between Bangladesh and Pakistan into a virtual quarter-final in which Pakistan defeated the Bangladesh team, and progressed to the semi-final.
Now, the South Asian giants are eager to pass the New Zealand challenge to advance to the final of T20 World Cup 2022.
The semi-final came as a golden chance for New Zealand as well. Who have played three World Cup finals before and failed to win any of them. Now, once again, they are upbeat to book a final berth and clinch the title.
