During a rough run in the ICC World Cup that just ended, Bangladeshi players fell behind in most of the measures, but they were right up there in one area.
Bangladesh were second only to India when they challenged the ruling made by the on-field referee. Four of their eleven ruling Review System (DRS) appeals were successful, giving them a 36.36 percent success rate. The runner-up in the 2023 World Cup got six of their DRS calls right, which is 40% of the time.
It was hard for Bangladeshi hitters to let their willows grow during the game, but Bangladesh had the most successful requests, which means that judges had to change their choices. The batters for the Tigers were able to get three of the five DRS reviews right, giving them a 60% success rate. The batters for New Zealand came in second with a 50% success rate, meaning they got three of their six requests right.
But when it came to challenges to referee calls, Bangladesh was at the bottom of the list. They only did it 11 times, while South Africa had 23 challenges, making them the leaders. The Proteas failed 30.43 times out of 100, getting only seven of them right. They are in third place.
Sri Lanka came in fourth with a success rate of 30%, followed by New Zealand and Afghanistan, who tied for fifth with a success rate of 27.78%.

It was clear that Pakistan and the Netherlands were the worst at choosing which choices to review because they both got two of them right. The Netherlands got 21 reviews, while Pakistan only got 14.
