3Coming to Bangladesh's performance in the T20 World Cup over the years, they have never managed to make their way to the semi-final stage or beyond. Speaking of the past three installments, they have made it out of the league phase on every occasion.
The Tigers will aim to better their performance and potentially give it their all to go all the way this time around.
