The Tigers swept England in the T20 series, showing their strength, while they failed in the ODI series. Nevertheless, Bangladesh was strongest in ODI, and fans had an expectation to win the one-day series. Last November, England secured the T20 World Cup title in Australia, firmly establishing their reputation as a formidable opponent in this format of cricket. Despite this, Bangladesh was able to whitewash England in the 2023 BAN vs ENG T20 series, leaving the question if anyone had predicted such an outcome prior to the start of the series. Overall Performance of Bangladesh Team in T20 Series Against England After losing the first two T20 matches, England tried hard in the third match to avoid the whitewash. And England had been performing well until the fourteenth over.. David Malan was caught behind the wicket after being unable to handle Mustafiz's outswing and extra bounce, earning Mustafiz his hundredth wicket in a T20 International match. This signaled the start of England's downfall, as Jos Buttler was run out on the very next ball. The first two balls of the 14th over had the audience on the edge of their seats, turning the T20 into an intense and suspenseful thriller. At the end of 13 overs, with England needing 159 runs to win and being 100/1, who could have predicted that their dream of victory would fall down at 142/6? Did the world champions sense their world would soon become gray as five wickets fell for 28 runs in five overs, sending their required run rate rocketing from 8 to 12 per over? Malan and Buttler's partnership of 95 runs for the second wicket kept England's hopes of avoiding a washout alive as long as they stayed at the crease. However, Mustafiz's intervention caused England's innings to smash.

And players also gave their best yesterday. Here are the five factors that boosted the team’s win. The Fast Bowlers Were Great At 24 years of age, Hasan Mahmood's Yorker to Jos Buttler should be incredibly hard for any batter to stay on the field. The Bangladesh Bowler was the star of the first match, showing he could handle himself in front of a hard hitter such as Buttler. Hasan has now taken the wicket of Jos in two consecutive matches. He only gave away four runs in his first over.

In BPL, he scored 403 runs with a strike rate of 140 and five fifties. Overall, he played 49 T20 matches for the Bangladesh U19 team and scored 1126 runs with five 85 highest scores. It is now up to him to show what he can bring to the Bangladesh team for their match against England. Litton Das Litton Das has been in outstanding form lately. Although he only played one T20 against England, we are eager to see his incredible batting. With 379 runs, Litton is the fourth top scorer in BPL 2023. Apart from this, in his career from 2015-2022, Litton played 65 T20 matches for Bangladesh and scored 1388. However, he only scored 9 runs in his only T20 against England in 2021. So, it is expected that Litton will continue his incredible T20 performance and help Bangladesh in the T20 series.

In his 15 BPL matches, Shanto has amassed 516 runs at an impressive average of 39.69. He has batted in all 15 innings, remaining not out twice, and has the highest score of 89. Additionally, his BPL 2023 strike rate of 116.74 showcases his ability to score quickly and efficiently. With such impressive stats, Shanto is definitely a cricketer to watch out for against England. Key Bowlers in Bangladesh Team in 2023 BAN v ENG Series  Mehidy Hasan Miraz Since his white ball debut against England on October 20, 2016, Mehidy Hasan Miraz has been showing his excellence with the ball. The English batsmen were completely taken aback by the power of his delivery, as he took six wickets in the first innings in his debut test. However, Miraz is yet to play any T20 against England. In his last two ODI matches with England, Miraz took 4 wickets, which indicates that he understood the English batsmen’s tactics. So, going up against England in the T20 will surely motivate Miraz to perform to the best of his abilities. Read More: Bangladesh secures spot in 2024 Women's T20 World Cup as hosts Taskin Ahmed We must now look ahead to Taskin Ahmed's performance following Miraz, who is evidently a very committed bowler for Bangladesh. Taskin was invited to play three games in the ongoing PSL but declined the offer as he was more eager to take on England. Up to now, he has got four wickets in two matches in this ongoing ODI series. So, he will surely give his best in the bilateral T20 series against the English. Key Bangladeshi Allrounder in BAN v ENG T20 Series  Shakib Al Hasan Regarded as the greatest cricketer of all time in Bangladesh, Shakib Al Hasan is capable of altering the course of any match at any time. We eagerly await his batting and bowling prowess in the T20 series. However, he didn’t have an excellent performance in the ongoing ODI series. He scored 66 runs and took 2 wickets in two matches. Shakib played only one T20 against England and scored only 4 runs. Further, he is yet to get any wickets against England in T20. So, the upcoming series will be Shakib’s chance to show his class. Read More: Tamim-Shakib Clash: How ready Bangladesh are to face England Final Words Bangladesh's T20 team is not as organized as ODIs. There is much room for change and development. Najmul Hossain Shanto’s opening pair has scope for change. Sylhet Strikers opener Tawhid Hridoy batted very well in the BPL. So, he might get a chance in the starting eleven. Since Bangladesh is moving forward with a long-term plan for the T20 team, we might see some changes in three matches of the BAN vs ENG T20 series 2023.
