Despite all Bangladesh fans’ frustration, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) have shown satisfaction with Bangladesh’s performance in the 2024 T20 World Cup (WC).
The team successfully navigated the initial stages to qualify for the Super Eight. They nearly reached the semifinals, but their inability to chase 116 runs in 12.1 overs in the final Super Eight match against Afghanistan resulted in their elimination.
Statistically, it was Bangladesh’s best T20 World Cup, with three wins, but a more aggressive approach could have secured them a place in the semifinals.
“Our target for the T20 World Cup was to play the Super Eight. We have achieved our target. That’s why we all are happy.” BCB cricket operations department chairman Jalal Yunus told reporters on Saturday.
Yunus admitted that Bangladesh’s batting performance left a lot to be desired. “We couldn’t do well because the top order failed. We never saw the batting unit fail this way. We need to find out the weaknesses and work on them,” he added.
