Taskin Ahmed has been one of the finest pacers for Bangladesh in the last decade and has delivered plenty of match-winning spells. His ability to make the ball talk is one of the best in Bangladesh, and now in a crucial Asia Cup encounter against Pakistan, the pacer has reached 100 T20I wickets.
Taskin Ahmed Strikes In First Over For Bangladesh
He has reached the landmark in his 82nd T20I and is now just the third Bangladesh pacer to reach the landmark. His 100th wicket turned out to be Pakistan opener Sahibzada Farhan, who was dismissed in the very first over.
It was a crucial early breakthrough for Bangladesh in a high-pressure match, and Taskin Ahmed has once again shown his new-ball skills. Overall, Taskin has picked up his 100 wickets at an average of 21.75 and a strike-rate of 17.17.
His economy rate in T20Is is 7.60 and has been a great servant of Bangladesh cricket despite constant battle with injuries. He was rested for the last game against India but has already delivered some strong performances in this Asia Cup. Overall, Mustafizur Rahman is at the top of the charts for Bangladesh in T20Is with 150 wickets at an average of 20.65, while Shakib Al Hasan retired with 149 T20I wickets. Mustafizur Rahman is also third in the list of most wickets in T20Is.
