Asia Cup 2022: Rating Teams based on performance in group stage

5. Bangladesh - 5/10

A team comprising veteran players and promising youngsters failed to put on a perfect game. They were good in patches but that did not prove to be enough. As a result, they suffered an early exit from the competition.

Mosaddek Hossain was the stand-out player for the Bangla Tigers and portrayed his finishing prowess. The likes of  Afif Hossain and Mehidy Hasan Miraz too played entertaining knocks. But their veteran trio of Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah, and Mushfiqur Rahim failed at the big stage denting Bangladesh’s chances. 

The bowling unit was good in phases but was unable to maintain constant pressure. They succumbed at crucial junctures and the mediocre performance from their pace-spearhead Mustafizur Rahman also did not help.
