Bangladesh historic series win in South Africa

Bangladesh has created history by winning the first-ever series across any format in South Africa. Bangladesh played very well throughout the series and was deserved, winners as their experienced players stepped up and lead from the front to guide them to victory.

Bangladesh is a very strong ODI side and one day cricket is their strongest format. The team is improving as a test side. Their T20 cricket is a bit of a concern as that is the format they are struggling with the most. As an ODI side, they are very dangerous and I'm sure they will be one of the top sides from the subcontinent that will be favourite to make it to the semifinals at next year's world cup in India.

I would like to congratulate the Bangladesh team on a historic series victory you were the better team in this series.

South Africa should take this as a wake-up call and look to rethink their approach to ODI cricket and also how they structure their team as they look to refresh and start an important phase where they play England, Australia and India in the ODI super league with crucial points on the line and also opportunity to qualify directly for the world cup.

SA need to look at players in red hot form in the domestic circuit and use them while they are still firing and not wait and play them when they are lacking game time due to sitting on the Proteas bench. Change is needed by the SA ODI team and it needs to be done fast.

All the best to the Proteas hope you can turn this around and get back to winning consistently in ODIs like you have in test and T20.

Good luck with the test series to both teams and may the team that plays the best cricket win. Hope to see Proteas players who are given the opportunity during this series grab it with open hands and perform to the best of their ability.
