Review of Bangladesh's Twenty20 World Cup in numbers
20 : Number of deliveries required by Mohammad Ashraful to reach the fastest fifty in Twenty20 international which is now superseded by a 12 ball 50 from Yuvraj Singh. Ashraful scored 87 runs in his 5 outings in the Twenty20 world cup.
4-1-10-1 : Most economical bowling spell in Twenty20 history. Syed Rasel produced the magical spell against West Indies.
162 : Most runs scored by an Asian batsman in Twenty20 world cup (before semifinal stage). Aftab Ahmed showed consistency in batting performance and averaged 40.50 with bat.
4/34 : Best bowling figure by any Bangladeshi in Twenty20 international. Shakib Al Hasan grabbed four-for against West Indies in the group stage match.
80.00 : Bowling average of Bangladesh pace spearhead Mashrafe Mortaza. He has the worst bowling average among regular bowlers and also the highest economy.
165/4 : Bangladesh's highest score in Twenty20 World Cup.
71 : Number of runs scored by young Junaid Siddique, who only got the opportunity to play after Bangladesh were out of the tournament, to secure the Man of the Match award against pakistan.
1 : Number of wins Bangladesh managed in the inaugural Twenty20 World Cup.
44.18 : Strike rate of Alok Kapali in the tournament. He managed 19 runs from 3 outings and only Abdur Razzak (S.R - 36.84) scored runs at a lesser pace.
5.87 : Best economy rate of a Bangladeshi bowler in the tournament. Surprisingly Mahmudullah who only played in the last two matches holds the record.
123/8 : The only instance when Bangladesh played their full 20 over quota in the Twenty20 world cup (against Australia) except their win against West Indies which came at the 18th over of the match.
7 : Number of dismissals made by young wicketkeeper Mushfiqur Rahim. He currently holds the record of most dismissals in Twenty20 internationals.
