Predicted Bangladesh XI for the 2016 T20 World Cup
Bangladesh will be hoping to replicate their 50-over form in the upcoming T20 World CupAs the T20 World Cup fast approaches, teams are beginning to figure out their best combination. It is a smash and run format where quick thinking and adaptation could lead to glorious victories. However, for that to happen, a flexible all-round team is a must.Bangladesh have been on the rise this year. In the 50-overs format, of course. The Test and T20 teams still need a lot of work as they seem befuddled whenever they step onto the field, but the ODI performances this year have filled the hearts of the fans with hopes that their beloved nation can improvise in the shorter format.And they do have the players for that. Bangladesh are blessed with a superb core of talents that can, if they play up to their potential, rip to shreds any team in the world. Another thing it provides is a perfect combination for a T20 game, which we will enlist here:
#1 Tamim Iqbal
The obvious choice. Tamim Iqbal is the irreplaceable member of the team, even when he is not in form; so what to speak of when he is in? The Chittagongian man was once dropped from the team, which prompted his uncle Akram Khan to resign from his post which, in turn, impelled the Prime Minister of the country to ask the selectors to take him back in the team.
Anyway, without digressing any further, this man is in good form. Before the current glorious days, whenever Bangladesh had won a game, his contribution was the highest. He might not be among the most consistent players, but he is a match-winner – someone who can almost single-handedly win you games.
With an average of 26.40 and a strike-rate of 116.63, he has scored 2244 runs in 90 T20 innings, suggesting his fluency in the format.
