Bangladesh, which is at number four in the points table of the World Test Championship, is eyeing a place in the final match. To do this, Bangladesh will have to make it to the top 2 teams by the beginning of next year. Bangladesh’s spin bowling coach Mushtaq Ahmed says that his team can make it to the finals and has the ability to present a tough challenge to the opposition teams.
Bangladesh has recently performed brilliantly against Australia. This team had defeated Australia by entering its home. However, in the very next match, Australia counterattacked and registered a big win, but Bangladesh team remains in the race for the Test Championship final.
What are the equations for Bangladesh?
To play the final match of the World Test Championship 2027, Bangladesh will have to score 47 points in its remaining 6 matches. Winning a match gives 12 points. In such a situation, they will have to win both the series to be held on home soil. This series is with England and West Indies. Bangladesh team can win two matches against West Indies by making spin pitch, but it will not be easy to defeat England in both the matches. To secure a place, Bangladesh will have to win one of their remaining two matches.
The coach filled his heart
Bangladesh team’s spin-bowling coach Mushtaq said about playing the Test Championship final, we are in a very good position right now. If we play good cricket and maintain confidence, we can move forward. Matches at international level can be won only when you do not worry about losing. As coaches, we have to change this thinking. The credit for this goes to all the players, selectors and stakeholders, because they are on the same page and believe that now we can challenge any team.
