BAN vs ENG T20 Series 2023: Bangladesh's historic records you need to know
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.

Bangladesh scored 158 runs in 20 overs, losing only two wickets, thanks to Litton Das's ninth T20 fifty and an impressive partnership of 84 runs between Litton and Najmul Hossain Shanto for the second wicket. There is no doubt that Litton and Najmul Hossain formed the cornerstone of the Bangladesh innings, with Litton scoring his first fifty of the series with 73 runs off 57 balls. His performance earned him the award of the Player of the Match. Najmul Hossain was also successful, registering the series-best performance of 144 runs in three matches with an unbeaten 47 off 36 balls. Najmul Hossain Shanto won the Player of the Series award.
Previously, Shakib’s team started the T20 series against England with a win at Chittagong. After winning the toss at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong, Shakib Al Hasan chose to bowl first. The opening pair of Philip Salt and captain Jos Buttler made a promising start, putting together 80 runs. Nasum Amed's efforts in the tenth over proved to be Bangladesh's first success as he picked Philip Salt’s wicket for 38 runs off 35 balls in the last ball of the over. Dawid Malan, who had been in impressive form in the ODI series, unfortunately, got out for a duck, being dismissed by Najmul Hasan Shanto off a ball from Shakib. Mustafizur then bowled Duckett for 20 runs off 13 balls. England collected 156 runs.

On the other hand, Litton Das was unable to have a big score. Nonetheless, he arrived at the crease and ultimately accumulated 12 runs from 10 deliveries. Meanwhile, Bangladesh's opening batsman Rony Talukdar managed 21 runs from 14 balls. Nevertheless, the home team's innings were put in a difficult situation, as they had lost two wickets for only 43 runs. Najmul Hossain Shanto and Towhid Hridoy then assumed control of the team, forming a formidable third-wicket partnership. Shanto boosted Bangladesh's innings with a personal tally of 51 runs from 30 balls, featuring 8 fours. Towhid, meanwhile, provided the only six of the innings, scoring 24 runs from 17 balls, including 2 fours and 1 six. Bangladesh suddenly went from 108 for 2 wickets to 112 for 4 wickets and was under some pressure again. This time the captain came as a savior. Shakib remained not out with 34 runs off 24 balls with 6 fours, while Afif Hossain scored 15 runs off 13 balls alongside Shakib.
Bangladesh’s performance was also great in the second T20I match in Dhaka. Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan won the toss and decided to bowl at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium. England could not stand in front of the bowling attack of Bangladesh. Jos Buttler's team was all out for 117 runs in 20 overs. Ben Duckett scored the highest 28 runs. Mehdy Hasan Miraz took 4 wickets for Bangladesh. With 11 balls to spare, Bangladesh managed to chase down the 118-run target on a slow-turner wicket, losing six wickets in the process. Najmul Hossain Shanto top-scored with 46 runs, while Miraz and Towhid Hridoy contributed 20 and 17 runs, respectively to the successful run chase.

The Fast Bowlers Were Great

Read More: BAN vs ENG Series 2023: Key ODI Records, Who Holds Advantage in Records So Far
Bangladesh Squad Analysis
BCB announced the 14-member squad for the first two matches of the ODI series, whereas a new face, Towhid Hridoy, who spread light with the bat in BPL, got a chance. Meanwhile, five cricketers have been dropped from the 16-member ODI squad played against India last December.
Wicketkeeper Nurul Hasan Sohan, pacer Shariful Islam, top order Anamul Haque Bijoy, left-arm spinner Nasum Ahmed, and middle-order batsman Yasir Ali Rabi lost their place in the team due to bad performance in this year's BPL.
However, Left-arm spinner Nasum Ahmed did well in the India series. But he was not kept in the England series. In this regard, the selectors said that they had kept him in consideration for another edition. He might get a call for T20 or the last ODI.
Tigers' regular ODI captain Tamim Iqbal has returned to the announced ODI squad against England. The team captain was not in the series against India due to injury. Taijul Islam is also back.

Bangladesh cricket team selectors' team selection always raises many questions. Let alone the upcoming England series, and it seemed only a matter of time before Towhid Hridoy got a call-up to the squad after performing brilliantly in the BPL. As expected, he got a call from the team. However, the reason for the questioning is that he performed well in T20 but has been called up to the ODI squad! Hence, everyone will have an eye on him.
Key Batters
One of the best batsmen of the Bangladesh senior cricket team is the left-handed opener, Tamim Iqbal. This experienced opener had to stay out of the team for a long time due to injury. Finally, he is going to return to the team. Tamim is one of the most successful batsmen who played against England. So far, he has played 14 matches and scored 488 runs against England. With a high score of 128, Tamim has two centuries against the English team. So, it is expected that he will give his best as Tamim is returning after a long time.
Towhid Hridoy’s first appearance will be a key moment in this one-day series. As he got a chance in the national team based on his BPL performance, fans will be waiting for his ODI performance. Hridoy has scored 403 runs with the bat in this year's BPL season. Right-handed top-order batsman Hridoy scored this run at a strike rate of 140 with five fifties. Previously he played 49 ODI matches for the Bangladesh U19 team and scored 1624 runs with 5 centuries and 10 half-centuries. So, it is time to see if this experience benefits the Bangladesh team against England.

Litton Das has been in good form recently. However, he has never played any ODI against England. So, we hope to enjoy his incredible batting against a new country. Recently he led Bangladesh against India last December. However, he did have the expected performance against India and scored only 77 runs in three ODIs. But he deserved praise because of his captaincy. He was successful in his first assignment as captain; Bangladesh won the series against India with one match in hand. Since he will not have extra pressure in this tournament, it is expected that Litton Das will be able to give his regular performance.

Further, he achieved a remarkable record on the third day of the match, becoming the youngest debutant to claim five wickets in a single innings in men’s Test cricket. Rehan’s chance in the ODI team will give him the opportunity to establish himself as the permanent spinner for England to replace Adil Rashid for the long term and to make a strong case for his selection for the ODI and T20 World Cups in 2023 and 2024.

Jofra Archer was also included in the T20 and ODI squad after his recent comeback against South Africa. Archer’s international debut was in May 2019 and he was also a part of the 2019 Cricket World Cup winning team.
After that, he made his Test debut in the following summer against Australia in the Ashes series 2019. Archer’s achievements were recognized in April 2020 when he was named one of the Wisden Cricketers of the Year.

Sam Curran will be a key player for the English team in the Bangladesh tour. He was the star of the 2022 T20 World Cup, taking the most wickets for England and being named Player of the Tournament. As a left-handed all-rounder, he bowls medium-fast and holds the English record for the best T20I figures of 5-10 against Afghanistan in 2022.

Bangladesh Team
Mushfiqur Rahim finally found his stride against Sri Lanka, which is a huge relief. Mushfiqur failed to contribute with the bat in the qualifying phase. Bangladesh struggled to keep the scoreboard moving in the middle overs as a result of this.

Opener Liton Das and all-rounder Mohammad Saifuddin were two major disappointments in the previous encounter. Liton scrambled with the bat once again and dropped two crucial catches. On the contrary, Mohammad Saifuddin gave up nearly 13 runs per over. As a top bowler, Saifuddin could have done a lot better with the ball.
Team management has a difficult job on their hands in terms of picking an ideal playing XI for the encounter against England. Not to mention, the experienced players and left-arm bowler Mustafizur Rahman would have to shoulder the major responsibilities if Bangladesh aims to win the match.

England Team
England thrashed West Indies in their World Cup opener. Therefore, the team spirit of the English campaign is extremely high. Each player is aware of his role in the squad besides realizing what the captain and coach expect of them. There are no injuries on the team, and all of the players are available for selection. England are unlikely to make any changes to their playing XI for the encounter against Bangladesh.
Three players to keep an eye on
Jos Buttler: T20I: 83 | Runs: 1,895 | HS: 83* | 50s: 14 | SR: 139.33

Verdict
Bangladesh are now in the second position in Group B, while England are in first place with two points. England are one of the favorites to win the seventh edition of the Twenty20 World Cup. The English team exhibited their ability during the encounter against the West Indies. They have a well-balanced squad with a notable number of game-winners. Bangladesh will face a difficult task in defeating England, but they must find a way to do it in order to earn a place in the semifinals.
Another important factor is that Bangladesh have never faced England in a T20 match. So, it will be exciting to see who wins the first match between these two teams.
