5 reasons Bangladesh is mighty at home

#1. World-class spinners

Shakib has done wonders with the ball'Spin to win' is the mantra for success in the sub-continent. On most occasions, the match-winners on such pitches are the spinners as they are the chief destroyers and the most potent weapons.

Fortunately for Bangladesh, there is no dearth of spinners. In fact, they have in their ranks, some of the finest spinners of the current era. Shakib's ability to turn the game on its head has been reflected on several occasions.

The left-arm spinner has impeccable accuracy, while his pace variations prove too hot to handle for batsmen. His persistence and skills add fuel to fire and make him a spin bowler of the highest quality.

The emergence of Mehidy Hasan has increased the Asian nation's might. The 19-year-old bowler with his off-breaks add variety and is capable of tying down left-handers. Taijul Islam too has proved his mettle, by registering the best bowling figures by a Bangladeshi player in Tests. His spell of 8 for 39 against Zimbabwe was simply sensational.

Courtesy these spinners, Bangladesh has tormented the visiting teams and has been successful in stamping their dominance.
