#3 Hungry to make a mark

Bangladesh players are desperate to win something big.

In recent years, Bangladesh have registered some famous wins but could not actually achieve what they would have loved to. They played three finals against India at Asia Cup 2016, Nidahas Cup 2018, and Asia Cup 2018 respectively, but could not go on to clinch the title. They were just short of a perfect finish as a stage like the final was alien for them. They were on a learning curve.

The notable thing is that they contested India well in those finals and only lost by close margins. Bangladesh would have learnt some tough lessons from these defeats which could come in handy at the World Cup.

The experience of Mortaza, Shakib, Tamim, and Rahim, aided by their hunger for a recognized laurel can well bring fruition for them at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.
