Danish XI cricket team in Bangladesh in 1989-90
Encyclopedia
A Danish cricket team visited Bangladesh in February 1990. They played a number of one day matches on the tour which helped the preparation of both countries for the ICC Trophy in 1990.
As reflected in the scores, the tourists struggled in almost all the matches. Their only victory came in the match played in matting wickets. The brightest point, from their point of view, was the batting of the two Jensens, John & Tim. Batting in the top 3, they scored regularly in the tour. John's best, 92, came against BCCB(White).Tim played his best knock (76)against Abahani. In the middle order, Aftab Ahmed played couple of good kncoks, but the rest of the batting was very disappointing. In the bowling department, medium pacer Styen Thomson ran riots in the match played in the matting wikcet. But, other than this, there was no venom in the Danish bowling.
As for the local side, VC minhajul Abedin
was in outstanding form, and topped the averages for both batting & bowling. Opening batsmen Zahid Razzak
& Harunur Rashid
Liton took good advantage of the lack of firepower in the oppostition pace attack. Akram Khan
played a cracking knock for Abahani, blasting 4 sixes on his way to 53. The all rounders, Aminul Islam
Bulbul & Enamul Haq Moni, had little opportunity to show their mettle as batters, but they dominated the opposition batsmen with their spin bowling. The medium pacers bowled accurately, although there was little help from the wickets for them.
