England lifted their maiden World Cup after a great performance in the finals.

#6 Bangladesh

Rating:4.5/10

Bangladesh have grown leaps and bounds over the years

Bangladesh was a real surprise package in this World Cup. They have improved a lot over the last decade. Players like Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim scored the bulk of Bangladesh’s runs while Mustafizur Rahman was their standout bowler. They started the tournament on a good note after defeating South Africa in their opening game. A few games later, they pulled off an impressive win when they chased down West Indies’ target of 321 runs in just 42 overs.

Shakib Al Hasan had a stellar World Cup as he shattered records to score over 600 runs as an all rounder this year. Bangladesh fought hard and stayed in contention for a semi-final spot until the end of the tournament. They needed to win their last two games to make the top four. However, they failed to deliver when it mattered the most. In the end, Bangladesh finished in 8th place with three wins from their five games.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker.
