5 reasons Bangladesh is mighty at home

#3. A balanced team

In the last couple of years, on several occasions, Bangladesh have found themselves in a corner. The Bangladesh of the past would crumble in such situations, but the current Bangladesh team has somehow managed to escape and fight back.

Every time conditions became tough, a player rose and steered the team home. This arsenal of match-winners has made the Asian nation a formidable unit in home conditions.

In the first Test against Australia, when the visitors were on the brink of chasing the target, Shakib-ul-Hassan came to the fore and tore apart Australia's batting order. In the second Test against England Mehidy Hasan pulverized the English batsman with 12 wickets in the match.

The key reason behind the rise of match-winners is the balance of the team. Due to a settled team combination, every player knows what his role in the team is and this clarity allows them to express themselves better.

Bangladesh has two quality openers in their team who are followed by solid middle order batsmen. The bowling department consists of spinners that bring variety and there are pacers who can make the new ball talk and the old ball move dangerously.

Players like Nasir Hossain and Shakib bind the team effectively with their all-round abilities and thus the Asian nation has a team that is powerful in all departments and with no obvious flaws.
