Bangladesh have stormed their way into the finals of the Asia Cup 2018

#2 The 'Fizz' factor

Australia v Bangladesh - ICC Champions Trophy
Rahman has made a strong comeback in this tournament

Bangladesh's most prized bowling asset, the fans' favourite 'cutter master' Mustafizur Rahman's dipping form was a worry for the team. However, he has overcome all injuries and obstacles and has made a grand comeback. With eight wickets in four games, he is not only Bangladesh's leading wicket-taker in this tournament but also the second highest wicket-taker, with Rashid Khan sitting comfortably at the top.

He has bowled 32 overs so far and has conceded only 147 runs at an impressive economy rate of less than five runs per over. While 'The Fizz' is the war general of their pace attack, Mehidy Hasan has done a commendable job with his cunning spin bowling. While he has not picked up many wickets, he has kept things in check by conceding runs at a magnificent economy rate of just over three runs per over.
