Bangladesh’s success as a team in winning their maiden ODI series against Sri Lanka has helped layers individually as well. The biggest gainer has been Mehidy Hasan Mirza, jumping three places to reach his career-best ranking of number two in the latest release by the International Cricket Council.
Miraz’s figures of four for 30 and three for 28 in the two ODIs so far has been instrumental in the country’s victory alongside Mushfiqur Rahim’s 209 runs including a century. Rahim also reached his career-best batting ranking of 14th, moving four places ahead on the list. Rahim hit his career’s eighth ODI century in the second ODI to add to his unbeaten 84 in the first.
Mustafizur Rehman, the left-arm speedster also moved eight places to break into the top 10 of the ODI bowler’s ranking. The 25-year-old has picked up six wickets in the two ODIs, continuing from his great form in the IPL. The Fizz’s best-ever ranking however is five, achieved in 2018.
The rankings were compiled by considering the two ODIs between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka as well as the two-match series between Scotland and Netherlands.
