Minnows on the world stage for so many years, Bangladesh has gradually formed into a legitimately competitive team, something which is evident in their impressive performance at recent World Cup tournaments.
The team has had a number of series wins recently, though they have tended to come against lower ranked teams. Will they be able to match it with the best in the world on the biggest stage?
ICC Cricket World Cup TV Preview – How far can Bangladesh go?
After a lot of work went into becoming a competitive side, Bangladesh has dropped back to the ninth ranked side in the world, comfortably below the West Indies in eighth. Getting a gauge on their ability, however, is difficult considering they don’t often play extended series’ against the top teams. A number of experienced players headline their squad, with all of Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah and Tamim Iqbal genuinely talented players.
Despite that talent, their most recent series wasn’t a good one – they were on the wrong end of three heavy defeats in a three-match series against New Zealand in February. Before that, however, they beat the West Indies 2-1 and Zimbabwe 3-0 in Bangladesh, and in perhaps the best indication of their form, made it to the final of the Asia Cup. This tournament included an impressive win against Sri Lanka and a defeat at the hands of India in the final which came down to the final delivery.
Bangladesh are always an intriguing side to watch, but unfortunately the ICC Cricket World Cup’s official free-to-air broadcaster in Australia, Channel Nine, will be airing just one of their Group Stage matches – that being the clash against Australia on June 20. In contrast, Kayo Sports will offer a significantly more comprehensive coverage of Bangladesh’s ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 campaign, airing every delivery of the tournament live and in High Definition, as well as on-demand for those who want to catch up at a later date. This includes Bangladesh vs India on July 2, a clash against one of their biggest rivals.

Bangladesh Match Previews
Bangladesh get their chance against the number one side in the world when they face England on the 8th of June. Their third match of the tournament, this clash could be Bangladesh’s biggest test at the ICC Cricket World Cup, and a win would be huge not only within the context of the tournament, but for cricket in Bangladesh in general.
Almost a month later, as the Group Stage begins to wind down, Bangladesh will play India in a match they would have circled on their calendar long ago. Against their biggest rival in world cricket, Bangladesh will be steeling themselves for an attempt to get revenge on the Asia Cup defeat India inflicted on them just a few months ago, so expect fireworks in this one.
Bangladesh’s ICC Cricket World Cup Results
Bangladesh’s history at the World Cup didn’t begin until 1999, after six editions of the tournament had already been played and won. It started off slowly – their first two tournaments ended in the Group Stage, and in 2003 they didn’t win a single match. In 2007, they had what was at the time the team’s best ever victory when they defeated India by five wickets, and as a result they advanced past the Group Stage for the first time, ultimately being bundled out in what was then known as the Super Eight.
| Year | Result |
| 1975 | DNP |
| 1979 | DNP |
| 1983 | DNP |
| 1987 | DNP |
| 1992 | DNP |
| 1996 | DNP |
| 1999 | Group Stage |
| 2003 | Group Stage |
| 2007 | Super Eight |
| 2011 | Group Stage |
| 2015 | Quarter Final |
| 2019 | ?? |
After another early exit in 2011, they again advanced past the first stage of the event in 2015 thanks in no small part to a 15 run victory over England. This enabled them to sneak into fourth place in their pool above the Poms, and set up a quarter-final showdown with India. Unfortunately, Bangladesh was comprehensively beaten, meaning the final eight remains their best ever result at the tournament.
