Bangaladesh are really good on slow wickets

[deathmonger]

Their entire bowling is based on spin and Mustafizur. Close matches against India/Oz and now NZ. It's only when they face flat pitch (Pak in the first match) or green top (India asia cup) they are unable to bowl well. Mustafizur to Williamson was amazing.

Well there bowling is good, but batting is struggling on these slow wickets. 

Even against India, it was only Tamim 4 fours in one over after bumrah dropped a dolly of a catch, that gave them sniff of a chance.  

also, even on flat tracks, the current Bangla batsmen are not capable of scoring 200+ (critical in today's age).

Infact in super 10s, Afghans, Bangla, and Pakistan would all struggle to post 200+ scores on flat tracks. They all lack power hitters.

BD is never good at slow pitches. It's a myth. BD plays well in pacy wicket where their stroke makers can play freely. BD now heavily rely on pace bowlers. So, in slow and low pitches they don't perform well. BD played really well in 2015 WC in Aus where their bowlers got wickets and batters got runs. They also played well in Asia Cup on bouncy and pacy wicket where it helped both batsmen and bowlers.

Yeah great performance today

This Mustafuzur is an amazing bowler...I detect great things from him

BD is innovative .... it comes up with news ways to shock us 

1st,  it lost to Pak by 50 runs, which was surprising 

2nd, I still can't believe that it lost to Ind

3rd, now you would think how bad things could get. Well it lost to NZ by 75 runs

These sorts of results happen when a team is in growing stages specially in T20 games. BD is not a good T20 side tbh. They are ranked 10 (below Afg).

Great talent. Needs to remain fit.

Bangladesh is a country of 150 million people and they are crazy about the sport. They also get to host a lot of events at home. Sooner or later they'll start to unearth the talent at their disposal and start putting teams together and not half teams with passengers.
 

Although the results don't show it, watching them as a neutral I can say they're getting better and the players they're finding are of a higher quality than previous players. Tamim, Mahmadullah and Sakib are 3 very good players, they need 3 more like them and they'll be able to win ODIs and T20s more regularly. They are still a fair bit away from being a decent test side, they need 2 world class pace bowlers.
