While the Bangladesh men’s cricket team is struggling in World Cup 2023, the Bangladesh women’s cricket team made history by winning a T20 series against Pakistan at home. These young women might not get as much attention as the men’s cricket team, but they show incredible determination, strength, and skill. Even though they do not get the deserved recognition or pay, the Bangladesh women’s cricket team consistently make all-out efforts. Now, it is high time for Bangladesh to focus on women’s cricket too. Bangladesh Women’s Cricket: Performances in 2023 Bangladesh’s men’s cricket team had faced disappointment three times in the Asia Cup final; the women’s cricket team brought us a championship in the 2018 Asia Cup. Apart from this, Tigressed have other achievements too. Let’s dive deep. ODI This year, the Bangladesh Women’s team has played 5 ODIs and won one match against the India Women’s team. Indian team visited Bangladesh in July 2023 for a three-match ODI series. Tigress got their maiden win against India in the first match on July 16, 2023. Bangladesh Women’s team set a target of 152 for 9 in 43 overs, and India was all out for 113 and lost the match by 40 runs. However, Bangladesh lost the next game. Apart from this, Bangladesh also lost a match against Sri Lanka on May 4, 2023. Further, there was one no result against Sri Lanka, and one match was tied against India. 16 years ago, the women’s cricket team entered international cricket through a match against Thailand in Bangkok. After winning the first two matches, Tigresses took part in the ACC Women’s Tournament and won the title that year.  After that, the Bangladesh team led by Salma Khatun did not have to look back. However, in 2011, the Tigresses achieved an important milestone under coach Mamatha Maben. Despite finishing in 5th place in the Women’s World Cup Qualifier held on their own soil, the Bangladesh team won ODI status for the first time. The Bangladesh women’s cricket team, which entered the top ten in the global rankings, then played a total of 57 ODIs until October 31, 2023, including bilateral and trilateral series. Bangladesh women’s cricket team won 15 ODI matches so far; 5 matches remain without results and tied in one match. Bangladesh women’s team is now ranked eighth in ICC Women’s ODI Rankings. T20I The roar of the Tigresses has been felt in the shortest and most popular version of current cricket, T20. The statistics of 42 wins in 107 matches are not very surprising, but once the top position of the ICC T20 ranking was occupied by the Tigresses. Bangladesh women’s cricket team is now ranked ninth in ICC Women’s T20I Rankings. This year, Tigress played 15 T20I matches on home ground and abroad. But, the team could not get enough success at the beginning of this year. Most recently, they made history by winning a T20I series against Pakistan. Among the 15 T20I matches played this year, the Bangladesh women’s team won only five games. The Bangladesh women’s cricket team has not made it to the finals of the ODI World Cup yet, but they have already competed in three T20 World Cups. In this edition of the World Cup qualifiers, they have been champions twice. In addition, this year, the team led by Nigar Sultana and Jahanara has won three of their last five T20 matches. The Bangladesh women’s cricket team has also achieved significant success in the Asian Games, earning silver medals in both the 2010 and 2014 editions.

This victory ensured that Bangladesh would be among the top 6 teams in the tournament and be ranked in the top 10 globally, which was the condition for getting ODI status. In April 2021, the ICC granted permanent Test and One Day International (ODI) status to all full-member women’s teams. But Tigresses are yet to play their debut test match. Bangladesh won the 3-match T20I Series against Pakistan Recently, Bangladeshi women won a T20I series against Pakistan by 2-1, which took place from October 25 to October 29.

In September 2023, Tigresses won the bronze medal by defeating Pakistan in the Asian Games. And winning a series against Pakistan in Bangladesh is another achievement for confident Tigresses. Bangladesh made history by winning the series for the first time in T20I with one match in hand, defeating the Pakistani women by 20 runs in the second match.

Bangladesh cricket has had a difficult year in 2021. The Bangladesh national men's cricket team's disappointing performance in the absence of experienced players is one of the key indications of this. The performance of the men's cricket team provides strong evidence that the country's cricket pipeline is weak. On the other hand, the Bangladesh women's cricket team has had a successful year. The Tigresses confirmed their participation in the 50-over World Cup for the first time by competing in the ICC Women's World Cup qualifiers at the end of the year. This article analyzed the performance of Bangladesh's men's and women's national cricket teams in the year 2021. Performance of Bangladesh Cricket in 2021 The men's and women's teams of Bangladesh had significant achievements in 2021. However, there are a number of major failures. Let's take a look at Bangladesh's overall performance in cricket in the year 2021. Bangladesh Men’s National Cricket Team  Bangladesh Men’s cricket team played 7 Tests, 12 One-Day Internationals, and 24 Twenty-20 Internationals in 2021.

Read Traditional folk sports of rural Bangladesh: A look back Bangladesh played the most Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) in 2021, with 24. They won 11 T20Is and have lost 13. However, winning the home series against Australia and New Zealand were two of Bangladesh's finest achievements in 2021. Besides that, Bangladesh defeated Zimbabwe in a T20I series. However, they were hammered by New Zealand (3-0) and Pakistan (3-0), and their performance in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 was disastrous. Bangladesh's first international series after the covid-19 outbreak in March 2020 was a home series against the West Indies in January 2021. In that perspective, the series was crucial for Bangladesh. The Tamim Iqbal-led side had shown a lot of character throughout the series. Shakib Al Hasan has also returned to international cricket through this series after completing a one-year suspension imposed by the International Cricket Council. Here are the results of Bangladesh's men's cricket team's international matches in the year 2021.

It was Tamim Iqbal's debut match as permanent captain of Bangladesh's One-Day International team. Bangladesh vs West Indies (3-match ODI Series at home) Bangladesh faced the West Indies in a two-match Test series after sweeping the ODI series 3-0. However, the team tigers underperformed in the longer-version format. They were beaten 2-0 against a West Indian team that was pretty poor. The outcome of this series was one of Bangladesh's most embarrassing performances in 2021. Read Achievements of Bangladesh in sports in 50 years since independence New Zealand vs Bangladesh (3-match ODI Series, away) Expecting a win is far from realistic, given the fact that Bangladesh has never won a match in New Zealand. Bangladesh came near to winning the second One-Day International, which may be their most significant achievement in 2021. However, Bangladesh were defeated 3-0 by New Zealand in the series. New Zealand vs Bangladesh (3-match T20I Series, away) As predicted, Bangladesh lost all three T20I matches they played against New Zealand. More importantly, they were unable to put up a good fight against the host New Zealand. Bangladesh's disastrous trip to New Zealand came to an end with a series of defeats.

The Bangladesh team was competing in the qualifying phase for a spot in the limited-over Women's World Cup in New Zealand. They would have advanced to the Super Six round if the qualification round had not been called off on Saturday (November 27). The ICC had to act quickly after numerous members of the Sri Lankan team tested positive for covid19. Bangladesh, Pakistan, and the West Indies have qualified for the main event based on rankings. Let's have a look at five Bangladesh women cricketers who could make an impact in the ICC ODI World Cup 2022. ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2022: Five Bangladesh Players to watch The Bangladesh Women's team has produced some excellent players over the years. In addition, there are few seasoned players on the current team. Five players have been chosen from among them who can spark in the forthcoming event. Rumana Ahmed M: 42 | Runs: 893 | HS: 75 | Wkts: 45 | BBI: 4/20   Arguably Bangladesh's finest ever female cricketer Rumana Ahmed has been a member of the national team since 2011. She has been one of the Bangladesh Women's team's most consistent performers. All-rounder Rumana Ahmed is Bangladesh's top run-scorer and wicket-taker in one-day internationals. She will undoubtedly be the Tigresses' most important player at the ICC Women's ODI World Cup. Read Chattogram Test: Bangladesh set a target of 202 for Pakistan  Nigar Sultana Joty M: 23 | Runs: 376 | HS: 59*   The current captain of the Bangladesh Women's team Nigar Sultana has been a part of the national team since 2015. She has established herself as a key member of Bangladesh's women's senior team. The BCB named her as skipper of Bangladesh's limited-overs side due to her leadership abilities. Her captaincy role at the World Cup 2022 will be vital for Bangladesh. Fargana Haque M: 41 | Runs: 841 | HS: 69*  Fargana Haque is one of Bangladesh's best top-order batters. She has been a part of Bangladesh's national squad since 2011 and has had a big effect on the development of Bangladesh Women’s cricket. Fargana's primary role at the World Cup will be to anchor the innings from start to finish. The rest of the players will bat around her for a chase or a competitive total. So, this seasoned cricketer will be a valuable asset to the Bangladesh Women's team. Read: Bangladesh Women's Cricket: Success Stories and How can they Improve? Salma Khatun M: 37 | Runs: 397 | HS: 75* | Wkts: 41 | BBI: 3/6 Salma Khatun is Bangladesh's most experienced player and former captain. She has been a member of the national team for almost a decade. Salma has helped Bangladesh win many international matches, and her participation in the forthcoming event will undoubtedly make a difference. Jahanara Alam   M: 40 | Wkts: 38 | BBI: 3/18 Jahanara Alam is Bangladesh's best fast bowler. She has played franchise cricket in India and has had significant success there. Jahanara Alam is Bangladesh's fourth-highest wicket-taker in one-day internationals. She will lead the pace attack for the Tigresses in the ICC ODI World Cup 2022 in New Zealand. Read: Sharmin Akhter hits a century to make history in Bangladesh women’s cricket Bottom Line   Only the women's team has won the Asia Cup among Bangladesh's men's and women's cricket teams. Therefore, Bangladesh's biggest success on the international stage comes first from the national side of women. The Tigresses have made significant improvements in the last four years, and qualifying for the ICC ODI World Cup 2022 in New Zealand is part of that achievement. Expecting the Bangladesh Women's team to achieve great success in the upcoming event will be unreasonable. Because tigresses lack sufficient experience to compete in Oceania region. New Zealand wickets are ideal for pace bowlers, and dealing with the fastest bowlers on quick pitches is always a challenge. However, if the Bangladesh Women's team plays as a unit, they can put stronger opponents to the real test. Read BAN vs PAK 1st Test 2021: The fate of the match could decide on day four
