Beyond the numbers
209 ODI wickets at an economy of 5.08
Mortaza's primary format is the One-Day International, where he has played 175 matches for Bangladesh Cricket. His economy of 5.08 in ODIs sits comfortably below his overall career rate of 5.17, reflecting consistent pressure across his longest body of work.
88 wickets in the BPL at a bowling average of 26.11
In the Bangladesh Premier League, Mortaza has been sharper with the ball than in any other format. His BPL bowling average of 26.11 across 95 matches is significantly better than his ODI mark of 34.61, making the T20 franchise competition his most productive hunting ground by average.
40 wickets against Sri Lanka at an economy of 4.90
Mortaza's best opponent record belongs against Sri Lanka Cricket, whom he has faced 24 times and dismissed 40 batters at an economy of just 4.90. That wicket tally is his highest against any single nation and illustrates a consistent pattern of success in that particular fixture.
148 wickets at Sher-e-Bangla across 88 matches
No venue has seen more of Mortaza than Sher-e-Bangla in Dhaka, where he has appeared 88 times and taken 148 wickets. His economy there of 5.40 reflects the workload of a front-line bowler used heavily at his home ground across multiple competitions and formats.
371 career wickets across four competition types
Spanning Tests, ODIs, T20 Internationals and the BPL, Mortaza has accumulated 371 wickets from 336 matches. His career bowling average of 34.04 and economy of 5.17 place him among the most used Bangladesh bowlers across the modern era of the country's cricket.
