Bangladesh’s ODI World Cup history
Bangladesh first participated in the World Cup in 1999. In the five tournaments since then, they have only reached the finals once, in 2015, when they beat England comfortably to advance to the quarter-finals. In 2007, they defeated India to qualify for the Super Eight and achieved a good result.

He has become a certain person. He is one of only six players in the world to have scored more runs at a higher average since the 2019 World Cup, and his recent performances have been particularly impressive in Asia, with him scoring four out of five of his ODIs. We have achieved one goal.

He crossed fifty runs in seven out of eight innings, reached a century twice, and became the first cricketer to score 500 runs and take 10 wickets in a single ODI tournament at the highest level of ODI tournaments. Ta. In October of the same year, he led a players’ strike over pay and the structure of Bangladesh’s domestic system.
