5 biggest wins in Bangladesh's cricket history

#4 Bangladesh vs England, 2015 World Cup

Rubel Hossain bowled with great heart in the final stages to help Bangladesh beat England in a thriller

Bangladesh 275/7 in 50 overs beat England 260 all out by 15 runs

Bangladesh were making progress with every passing World Cup campaign as the 2007 World Cup was followed by its feat in the 2011 World Cup where they won three matches in the group stages, including one against England, and only managed to miss out on progressing to the quarter-finals on net run-rate behind West Indies.

Bangladesh would once again dash England’s World Cup hopes with a thrilling 15-run victory and the victory at the Adelaide Oval ranks superior to the one at Chittagong four years earlier due to the sheer emotions involved and how the Asian nation outplayed the English in conditions which were considered more favourable to Eoin Morgan’s side.

Batting first, Bangladesh scored 275 runs in their 50 overs with Mohammad Mohammadullah scoring Bangladesh’s first ever World Cup hundred and Mushfiqur Rahim scoring 89 runs off 77 balls. England started off well but three wickets with the addition of just 11 runs on the board saw them being reduced to 132/5 in the 30^th over.

Jos Buttler’s quick-fire half-century brought England back into the contest but a spirited bowling performance by Rubel Hossain meant England fell short by 15 runs with Chirs Woakes left stranded at one end on 40.
