Bangladesh’s performances in the Super Eights of the T20 World Cup showed that team is lacking in many crucial aspects. But lack of courage was again evident, especially in how Bangladesh threw in the towel thinking they would not be able to chase down Afghanistan’s total in 12.1 overs in the th
Bangladesh were the inferior side on display throughout the match and unsurprisingly suffered a 50-run drubbing.
South Africa virtually clinched a place in the Super Eight stage as spinner Keshav Maharaj defended 11 runs off the final over to help secure a nail-biting four-run victory over Bangladesh in a low-scoring Group D clash on Monday.

Thousands of Bangladesh supporters flocked to the Grand Prairie Cricket Stadium in Dallas, Texas to enjoy the Tigers’ opening match of the T20 World Cup against Sri Lanka today.
If there was one department of the game where the Bangladesh team hoped to shine in the showpiece event, it was in the bowling department, and the Tigers bowlers gave every evidence of their potential.
Bangladesh will take on the USA in their first World Cup warm-up match at Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas on Tuesday, hoping for a drastic turnaround in form following their series loss against the same opposition in Houston.

The Tigers do not have happy memories of hosting Afghanistan in lone Tests. Afghanistan had won by a mammoth 224 runs the maiden Test between the two countries in Chattogram as Bangladesh’s plans backfired.
"I'm still not an all-rounder but Tamim probably now believes I can bowl," Shanto, who was adjudged man-of-the-series, said during a post-match presentation.
“If I tell you we had the belief we'd win, I'd be lying. But cricket is a funny game, wickets fall and scoreboard pressure is bad to have. When the Fizz got two wickets, we thought we had a chance,” skipper Tamim Iqbal conceded at post-match ceremony and that is how close it was.

Shanto's maiden ton, Towhid Hridoy’s vital 68 and Mushfiqur Rahim's sensible finish helped Bangladesh pull off their second-highest chase in the fifty-over format
Although the first of the three-match ODI series against Ireland was abandoned due to rain, a common feature of Bangladesh’s stint in Chelmsford,
It wasn't quite the obvious reason – the players—but the conditions in England-- a neutral venue for Ireland's home series against Bangladesh—that bothered the Sri Lankan coach as his plans for preparation were somewhat hampered due to rain.
“I don’t want to use the word favourites a lot,” Bangladesh ODI captain Tamim told reporters at the Cambridge University’s Fenner’s ground yesterday.
