Best T20 XI for all the teams since the first ever T20 international

9. Bangladesh

Bangladesh, in their first ever T20 international, emerged victorious over Zimbabwe by 33 runs. Since then, Bangladesh have triumphed in 25 out of 55 of their T20Is and are currently ranked 10th in the ICC rankings. More notably, they have been having really mouth-watering encounters with their Asian counterparts including India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Afghanistan and have been springing out some really good performances.

The majority of their wins have been deprived because of pre-mature celebrations, however, players like Tamim Iqbal, Mashrafe Mortaza, Mahmudullah, Shakib Al-Hasan and Mustafizur Rehman have shown the path on how to secure excellence and we are confident of the fact that they are not too far from conquering their demons.

Let's take a look at how their best T20 XI would line-up.

Tamim Iqbal
Soumya Sarkar
Mohammad Ashraful
Shakib Al-Hasan
Mushfiqur Rahim (wk)
Sabbir Rahman
Naeem Islam
Mashrafe Mortaza (c)
Mustafizur Rahman
Abdur Razzak
