Woeful batting from Bangladesh A side’s top-order during the 3-match unofficial ODI series against India A underlined the differences between two teams.

Take a look at the various teams in the National Cricket League 2015-16 vying for the top prize in Bangladesh cricket’s domestic competition.

Mominul Haque will lead a strong Bangladesh A team for their tour to India later this month.

Bangladesh will hope to build on the advantage they wrested during the Chittagong draw to end the recent string of successful results at home with another unprecedented outcome.

Bangladesh will rely on the experience of Mushfiqur, Tamim and Shakib and hope they combine effectively with the youth of Mominul and Soumya to counter a dangerous Proteas bowling attack.

Bangladesh continues its recent fine run of form in ODI cricket with an inaugural home series victory over South Africa on July 15 to make it four successive home series wins.

Distinctly charismatic and undeniably courageous, Soumya Sarkar is making headlines and heads turn with his unforgettable knocks, only in 16 matches of his ODI career.

The 154-run opening stand between Tamim and Soumya takes Bangladesh to victory in the 3rd ODI at Chittagong by nine wickets and secures the first ever series win over South Africa.

Two one-sided matches, with the teams batting first folding for identical scores and losing by big margins, have given the third ODI at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium the status of a final.

Mahmudullah returns back to form in the 2nd ODI against South Africa playing a good hand in the record 135-run stand with Soumya Sarkar for the third wicket.

July 12, 2015 will be etched in Bangladesh’s cricket history as the day when Tigers outplayed South Africa in all departments to win the 2nd ODI at Mirpur by seven wickets.

Bangladesh opener Soumya Sarkar and middle order batsman Mahmudullah Riyad hit record partnership against South Africa to bag a huge 7-wicket victory.

All in all, Bangladeshi cricketers need to pull up their socks and execute their plans effectively if they are to win against a confident Proteas team.

South Africa lead the 3-match ODI series 1-0 after comfortably defeating Bangladesh in the opening game at Mirpur by 8 wickets today.

This match will be played under the new ODI rules, in which there need not be compulsory fielders in the 15-yard circle.

South Africa will test Bangladesh's upward trajectory across formats, but given how they brushed aside India and Pakistan, there's no reason to believe they can't scalp another high-ranked side at home.

Bangladesh's maiden series win over India is loaded with unforgettable moments of action and packed with high-voltage cricketing drama of the highest caliber.

Bangladesh look to drive home the advantage against India during the third and final match of the series at Mirpur Stadium on June 24 with two emphatic wins behind them.

The world will sit up and notice, if Bangladesh manage to whitewash India by winning the 3rd game of the series on June 24. India will be desperate to avoid being blanked 3-0.

As India prepare to face Bangladesh for the second game of the 3-match ODI series at Mirpur, they know quite well that their pride and series are on the line.
