Bangladesh is showing a different picture of playing in their own ground. They have repeatedly beaten strong cricket teams like India in ODI matches. Miraz and Mahmudullah are the keys to win the 2nd ODI for Bangladesh Against India . Both of them played very well and both of them scored 177 runs . Which gives Bangladesh another opportunity to beat India in 2nd ODI match

Not only just this time they are playing good at their home ground I saw their previous match on their home play ground and what I've seen is that they've consistently done well in those matches except some few match. And I think with that consistency they were able to beat India and take the series in their favour. I also thought that they also hold the ability to win 3rd ODI and make whitewash India.

I saw statistics in the match which showed that Bangladesh are actually the best-performing team on their home ground and they have outperformed all the other top teams in this. It's quite strange how a team performs so well on their home pitches and suddenly don't perform that well on foreign pitches may it be on the sub-continent pitches which are pretty same to their own pitches only. Maybe it's the factor of the support they get which keeps them going in these matches. Whatever it is this is actually a great defeat for India this time. Getting beaten by Bangladesh is embarrassing that also when you are sending your A-teams for foreign tours and they still manage to win but your Tier-1 team lost here.

This makes bangbros the underdog in the WC as it's in India.

Would be great if they win the tournament but i guess I'm expecting and might exaggerating a bit too much but hey they won closer encounters against India in 2 consecutive matches and it was their Achilles heel for a very long time.

I also want some underdog team to win the world cup or some other big ICC tournament, really FED up of the top 6 teams always being at the top in such tournaments, cricket would be so much interesting if there are 15-20 countries who played at almost the same level as of each other. But yes as you said too early and exaggerating to say this right now. Moreover worst part about them is their inconsistency and arrogance, the moment they start to wina few matches they become arrogant and then start to lose a lot of matches as well, not a sign of a great team.
