Ever since making its World Cup debut in 1999, Bangladesh has qualified for each of the six editions so far. Still, being the perennial underachiever it is, the Bangladesh team still enters the showpiece event with an intention of causing a few upsets rather than making a case for the crown.
The case will be no different in 2023, as Shakib Al Hasan’s Tigers will hope to improve on its eighth-place finish four years ago.
In none of the previous six editions has Bangladesh won more than three games. And that’s far fewer than the requisite number in order to qualify for the knockouts.
