Bangladesh Women’s Cricket Team is keen to break the trend of perpetual failure in the cricket’s biggest event as they set their target to win at least two matches in the upcoming World T20, to be held in Australia in 2020.

The Women’s team so far took part in the World T20 three times in 2014, 2016 and 2018 but came up with abysmal performance with one victory to show In these three tournaments.

Specially in the last tournament in 2018, Bangladesh’s female cricketer’s performance disappointed the fans. Considering the fact that the Women’s team came to play the 2018 World T20 by winning the Asia Cup, beating team like India twice in group phase and final, the expectation was high.

But Bangladesh lost all the four matches in the group phase to end the tournament quite frustratingly and that’s something which still haunted them.

However this time they are confident to break the trend to show the world that Bangladesh’s women’s cricket improved much.

“We are quite determined that at any cost, we have to win some matches in the World T20,” Bangladesh pacer Jahanara Alam said here on Friday.

But the Women’s team would have to overcome the qualifying round first. The qualifier for the 2020 World T20 would be held in Scotland in next September, for which Bangladesh is now preparing themselves. Last time Bangladesh qualified for the 2018 World T20 after being champions in the qualifying tournament.

“We are hopeful that we can do well in qualifying round and would qualify to the World Cup. And in World Cup T20 we want to win at least two matches first,” Jahanara revealed.

“Victory against big teams would help us to move into the top 8 team of ICC in the rankings. When we can move into eighth position, we will get enough matches to play. And the more you will play, the more you will be experienced. So the target is to do well in World T20,” she added.
