Bangladesh vs England is an uncommon contest in women’s cricket. In fact, neither team has even played against each other outside ICC tournaments. And they also faced each other for the first time not too long ago. Bangladesh and England faced off in women’s cricket for the first time in 2014. It was a T20 World Cup fixture, which England won, though not without some hiccups. Bangladesh’s controlled bowling attack kept England below 140. Although Bangladesh couldn’t chase the total, it showed their potential. And Bangladesh will get another chance to display their potential in full force against England in…

Jaker Ali’s stocks are rising in Bangladesh cricket. What makes him a hot commodity is his aggressive batting style.

Here you can find Jaker Ali’s captaincy record in international cricket. Jaker Ali Captaincy Record in…

South Africa thrashed New Zealand in the 2022 ODI World Cup fixture in their backyard. Then a year later, South Africa put a spanner in New Zealand’s Women’s T20 World Cup plans. But the White Ferns gave it back when it mattered the most.…
