Bangladesh Look to Make an Impact in the Big Stage

Bangladesh announced their arrival at the global stage by reaching the semi-final in the last edition of Champions Trophy in 2017, and will be eyeing to take that achievement as an inspiration ahead of the tournament. Captain Najmul Hossain has expressed his team's ambition to be the champions, but recent performances suggest a tough road ahead.

Challenges Ahead

Bangladesh's recent form has been underwhelming, with only three wins out of nine ODIs in 2024. They have also struggled to put over 300 runs on the board, providing limited runs for their bowling unit. The absence of Shakib al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal adds to their woes.
