History of Bangladesh Cricket In International Level


1999
Bangladesh beat Pakistan by 62 runs during the 1999 Cricket World Cup in the group match at Northampton. Bangladesh managed 223/9 from 50 overs. Pakistan could only manage 161 due to a few run-outs by wicketkeeper Khaled Mashud and some tight bowling by Khaled Mahmud, who took 3/31 from 10 overs. And Khaled Mahmud Sujan was judged man of the match. They did not qualify for the Super Six round after suffering defeats in most of their other matches. But that win over Pakistan, who also became the runners-up of that world cup, has helped Bangladesh to get the Test playing status one year later.
