Wasim Akram picked up 4 wickets against Bangladesh in their maiden ODI match
Wasim Akram was the chief destroyer of the Bangladesh cricket team in their first ever ODI appearance. The year was 1986 and Bangladesh took on a strong Pakistan team at Moratuwa in an Asia Cup match. Akram picked up 4 wickets for 19 runs in his 9 overs and Bangladesh were bundled out for just 94 runs in 34.3 overs.
Pakistan chased down the target with ease in 32.1 overs and with 7 wickets remaining. It was a difficult beginning for Bangladesh in international cricket.

A passionate fan of Team India, Cricket has a special place in his heart owing to the way the sport has continued to evolve over the years. He is also thrilled by the competitiveness on display across all formats in the sport. His favorite cricketer is Sachin Tendulkar and reckons that his childhood idol's dominance over world-class bowlers in the 1990s speaks volumes about his skills and achievements.
Meit has had the privilege of interviewing Indian speedster Ishant Sharma and India Women's legend Mithali Raj so far in his professional career.
If he ever laid his hands on a time machine, Meit would love to witness the 2023 ICC World Cup final between India and Australia and believes that ODIs should never be completely replaced by T20Is owing to the format's popularity.
