Bangladesh started their T20 journey with a win in 2006. They moved beyond the group phase in the inaugural edition of the World T20 in 2007. But they have had little to show in the shortest form of the game since then, reports bdnews24.com. They have managed to win just 15 of their 51 matches in total, with victories against Zimbabwe, West Indies and Pakistan among the Test-playing teams. Bangladesh lost two matches against Zimbabwe in a drawn series last month.
The Netherlands and Hong Kong too have beaten Bangladesh in the 20-over format. Mortaza and his men did not stand a chance against India in the Asia Cup opener on Wednesday. But the captain is unwilling to compare the 45-run defeat to Bangladesh’s past performances. “We are on the right path. T20 is not a game where you can do well everyday but we are improving. If we keep playing like this, I believe we can reach a good position.
