Bangladesh’s Team Records: Result Records: narrowest loss margins (by runs)

Bangladesh cricket team, also known as the Tigers, has made significant progress in international cricket in recent years. Although the team’s overall record is not as impressive as some of the world’s top cricketing nations, the Tigers have produced some excellent performances, particularly in limited-overs cricket. One of the areas where Bangladesh has shown remarkable resilience is in its ability to lose matches by narrow margins.

In this article, we will take a look at Bangladesh’s team records, specifically focusing on their narrowest loss margins in terms of runs. Despite the heartbreak of losing by such small margins, it’s a testament to the team’s fighting spirit and determination to give their best until the very end.

Against India

One of the most memorable matches where Bangladesh lost by the narrowest margin was against India in the 2016 ICC World Twenty20. India had scored 146 runs in their allotted 20 overs, and Bangladesh seemed to be cruising towards the target with 2 overs remaining, requiring only 11 runs to win. However, they lost three quick wickets in the 19th over and then two more in the last over, eventually falling short of the target by just one run. The match was an emotional rollercoaster for both teams, and it was a tough pill to swallow for the Tigers as they came so close to pulling off a famous victory against their more illustrious neighbours

The match was played at The Oval in London, and New Zealand batted first, scoring 244 runs in their 50 overs. In reply, Bangladesh put up a valiant effort, with Shakib Al Hasan scoring a brilliant century, but it wasn’t enough to take the Tigers over the line. They eventually fell short by just 2 runs, despite a heroic effort from their top-order batsmen.

Against Australia

Bangladesh’s narrowest loss in terms of runs in Test cricket came against Australia in 2006. The match was played in Fatullah, and Bangladesh batted first, scoring 427 runs in their first innings. In reply, Australia scored a massive 581 runs, taking a lead of 154 runs. In their second innings, Bangladesh put up a much-improved performance, scoring 148 runs before being bowled out. Australia required just 307 runs to win the match, but the Tigers gave a tough fight, taking the match to the fifth day. However, they eventually lost the match by just three runs, with Australia’s Glenn McGrath taking the last wicket of the innings.

Against India

In another closely contested Test match, Bangladesh lost to India by just nine runs in 2017. The match was played in Hyderabad, and India batted first, scoring 687 runs in their first innings. In reply, Bangladesh scored a respectable 388 runs, but they were forced to follow on as they trailed India by 299 runs. In their second innings, Bangladesh produced a much-improved performance, scoring 250 runs, but they eventually fell short by just nine runs. The match was a tale of two halves, with India dominating the first innings and Bangladesh putting up a brave fight in the second innings.

Conclusion

Although Bangladesh’s team record may not be as impressive as some of the top cricketing nations, the Tigers have produced some excellent performances, particularly in limited-overs cricket. The fact that they have come so close to winning some matches against top teams is a testament to their fighting spirit and determination. The narrowest loss margins in terms of runs may have been heartbreaking for the team and their fans, but it shows that the Tigers can compete against some
