In the match to avoid a whitewash, Shakib’s impeccable performance with the bat won the Tigers by 50 runs against the English in Chittagong. After this great victory, Bangladesh has advanced two steps in the points list of the ICC ODI Super League. The Tigers have risen from six to four with 130 points in 21 matches with 13 wins and 8 losses. And this is why Pakistan and Australia have burned their foreheads. Babar Azmra, who has equal points with Bangladesh, has dropped one step as he lags in net run rate. And Warner-Smith has dropped to sixth with 120 points in 18 matches with 12 wins and 6 losses.

It should be noted that the top seven teams in the points table of the ICC ODI Super League by next May will have the opportunity to play in the 2023 ODI World Cup directly. England, New Zealand, Pakistan, Australia, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan are already on the list. West Indies, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and Ireland are in the running.
