Bangladeshi right-arm medium-fast bowler Tanzim Hasan Sakib took 3 wickets in his debut match against Sri Lanka in the World Cup. In this match, he took 3 wickets for a total of 80 runs per over and gave away 80 runs in 10 overs. His eye-catching bowling in this match impressed everyone.
Although the average run rate was not good in the debut match, Shakib put Sri Lanka in danger by taking 3 important wickets. He took the first wicket of his career in the World Cup, Sri Lankan batsman Pathum Nissanka.
Then, towards the end of the match, Asalanka, who scored 108 runs, took the wicket, but Sri Lanka could not give the target above 280 runs. If Shakib had not taken this wicket, Sri Lanka might have given a target of around 300 runs.
Tanzim Hasan made his debut in ODI cricket against India on 15 September 2023 through the Asia Cup.
His performance against a team like India in his debut match caught the attention of the world. In this match, Shakib bowled 7.5 overs and gave away 32 runs to Rohit Sharma and Tilak Verma (total 2 wickets).
His performance in this one match earned him a chance to play in the Bangladesh national team for the World Cup. Although 14 out of the 15 players in the team got a chance to play in the first 7 matches of the World Cup, Shakib was the only one who did not get a chance to play any match.
Finally, after Bangladesh lost one match after another, he got a place in the team in the 8th match against Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka set a target of 280 runs in this match, but Bangladesh won the match by 3 wickets after playing 41.1 overs.
If Bangladesh lost this match, Team Bangladesh would have been eliminated from the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy. Tanzim Hasan Sakib played his last ODI match against New Zealand.
