Do Pakistan have a superior bowling lineup than Bangladesh?

[BDfanforever]

On paper, Pakistan bowling lineup appears to be much superior to Bangladesh. However, in practice the BAN bowling lineup is not that bad as people makes them out to be.

Robin Uthappa has claimed that there is simply too much of a gulf between the two sides bowling attack recently.

I have looked at the bowling stats in last two tournaments in Asia Cup 2018 and CWC 2019.



If we remove the captains i.e. Mashrafe Mortaza



So as you can see, Bangladesh bowling lineup does have much more potential. Hopefully, once dead woods like Mashrafe is removed we will see a much potent BD bowling attack.

BD's bowling attack is not suitable for English pitches. This same bowling attack will probably be good on turning BD pitches.

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan always had a much better bowling attack than BD. I don't think it is a matter of debate. Our main strength is batting.

 

[shah_1]

If Bangladesh's bowling was good then they would have easily qualified for semi final. I feel their batting has been on par with best teams in the WC but bowling has been extremely poor and ordinary.

 

[hur rizvi]

Potential wise Pakistan fast bowling is much better but as a unit they haven’t been performing still I wouldn’t want any bowler bar shakib from Bangladesh line up in Pakistan’s line up

 

[big_gamer007]

Bangladesh spin bowling is better because of shakib.

Pakistan pace bowling is better.

Overall Pakistani bowling is better because the gulf in pace bowling department is huge compared to difference in spin bowling.

 

[Hyperion66]

Yes much superior, no amount of stats and spreadsheets can undo that fact. BD has a much better batting though.

Batting - Bangladesh
Pacers - Pakistan
Spinners - 50:50

Problem is, we have two dead woods (Mashrafe and Rubel). Rubel cost BD so many games yet he keeps on getting selected. I hope Mashrafe will be gone after today.

What are the stats for this world cup? That’s all that matters. Not whether Faheem Ashraf was able to take wickets in Abu Dhabi.

 

[Virat_Kohli_fan]

Pakistan's stats look bad here because they couldn't buy a wicket against India to save their lives in Asia Cup, not saying that shouldn't be counted , but context is important.

 

[PCTPost2019]

Pak bowlers are better. Bd bowlers have conceded 380+ in this tournament. They're not good enough

Conceding 380 once or twice is not the issue. Even Aussies conceded 481 against England in one game.

Having said that, BD pace attack is pretty ordinary (except for Mustafiz).

 

[saeed5646]

i can pick random stats which can show pakistan bowling in top 3 .Selective stats have zero meaning

 

[Indiafan]

Bangladesh has the worst attack in test world cup, even worse than Afghanistan

 

[PCTPost2019]

I'm comparing this lineup to Pak's so them conceding 380+ twice is a valid reason to claim that they're no-where near pak's current bowling lineup

 

[Executioner]

Bangladesh has better soon attack but marginally while pakistan has better Pace attack.

Honestly our batting has been really good this world cup. Our batting has been nearly as good as India and Australia and comfortably Better than that of NZ, Pakistan, SA.

Our ground fielding has been terrible though and bowling suffered mainly because of Mash otherwise we'd have made it to the semis

Please someone open a thread with the title-Do Bangladesh have a superior batting lineup than Pakistan.

 

[Haripotter]

Gone are the days when Pak bowling was compared with Indian bowling and the latter was made fun of.
Now the Pak bowling is compared with semi-minnow teams

 

[aukhan]

On Paper yes but we will know today who is better.

 

[PCTPost2019]

There is no comparison.
Pak have a better bowling lineup. I can't believe I have to justify my claim to people.
I'm comparing the pak bowling lineup with bd not aus of the 90s.

 

[sweep_shot]

Even if BD wins today, I have to call Pakistani pace attack better. As a matter of fact, I say Pakistani pace attack is 5 times better than BD pace attack.

Pakistani spin used to be miles ahead but I think Shadab is no Ajmal. They probably have equal spin quality in ODI.

They have beaten us easily every time we have faced them since 2015 ODI Bangladesh series. Mustafizur and their spinners performed better than our overrated bowlers in Asia Cup.

Since?
They've played us only once SINCE 2015.
Our 2015 team was our worst ever.
Can't believe people keep bringing up a seires which was held 5 years ago considering only 3 people from that squad are still playing.
Are people that desperate to somehow prove bd are better than pak?

Pakistani bowling is similar to Pakistani batting... Mercurial. They have all the talent in the world but but need a push to get it going. While Bang and India may not be that talented (barring Jazzboom.. He is a one-in-literally-billion) but understand the need to work hard.


Classic tale of rabbit and tortoise. Rabbit may be flashy with the best action and speed, but tortoise will... Well you what happened.

 

[topspin]

Bangladesh spin bowling is better because of shakib.

Pakistan pace bowling is better.

I agree with this.

 

[Hawkeye]

The moment I looked at the thread title, I knew a BD bro would have pulled up some stats to prove his point.

Let it go, buddy.

There's no comparison. There's a reason why BD's bowling is the worst among ODI ranked nations, AFG's much better.

Though, AFG's batting is a joke.

Agree with the talent of Pakistani bowlers. Kuldeep, Chahal, and Shami are pure hard workers. When will we produce naturally talented bowlers like Hasnain and Shadab?

 

[Snatch]

I think their bowling attacks are even, and that Bangladesh have a slightly better batting lineup.
