Career-Best Rating for Rishad; Tanzim Sakib's Big Leap in Rankings

One of the significant achievements for the Bangladesh team in the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup is the performance of Rishad Hossain. For the first time, a specialist leg-spinner is representing Bangladesh in a World Cup, and he has made a remarkable impact from the start. His performance on the field is also reflecting in the rankings.

In the 4 group stage matches so far, Rishad has bowled 90 deliveries, conceded 102 runs, and taken 7 wickets. He has an economy rate of 6.80 per over. By taking crucial wickets at important moments, scoring runs with the bat, and saving runs in the field, Rishad has been pivotal in advancing Bangladesh’s cause.

In the latest ICC rankings update, Rishad Hossain has climbed 3 places to reach the 27th position in the T20 bowlers' list, tied with Afghanistan's Mujeeb Ur Rahman. Rishad has achieved his career-best rating of 579 points.

Another Bangladeshi bowler, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, has also achieved a career-best rating. With 9 wickets in 4 matches, Tanzim has made a significant leap. After bowling 21 dot balls against Nepal, Tanzim has surged 28 places to 69th position, tied with New Zealand's Matt Henry.

Mustafizur Rahman, despite his impressive bowling, has slipped 1 position. With 632 rating points, he is now ranked 14th. Taskin Ahmed has fallen 5 places to 24th. They remain the top bowlers for Bangladesh. Shakib Al Hasan is holding the 36th position with 530 rating points. Shariful Islam, who has not played a match in the World Cup, has dropped 7 places to 58th.
