Bangladesh's victories over Test-playing nations in ICC tournaments

#6 2015 World Cup vs England, Adelaide

England were eliminated after losing to Bangladesh by 15 runs

With England suffering losses at the hands of all the sides bar Scotland, this match was their final hope to qualify for the quarters. Eoin Morgan’s men had Bangladesh at 8/2 before Soumya Sarkar and Mahmudullah Riyadh started the recovery. A fifth wicket partnership of 141 between veterans Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur Rahim led Bangladesh to a competitive total. The former smacked 103 while the latter bruised England with a quick 89 as Bangladesh got to 275/7.

England began their chase solidly in a must-win match with senior pro Ian Bell getting to a crucial 63. But 121/2 became 163/6 as Alex Hales and Joe Root threw away starts and Morgan and James Taylor never got one. Jos Buttler and Chris Woakes waged a valiant battle, but Taskin Ahmed accounted for Buttler and that sparked another collapse. The fast and accurate Rubel Hossain accounted for the final two wickets in the same over as Woakes remained stranded on 42.

England fell short by 15 runs to send the Bangladesh fans into a frenzy. Rubel got 4/53 and Mahmudullah was named the Man of the Match for a match-defining century.
