Their lone home victory came against New Zealand in December 2023.
In contrast, Bangladesh had only managed a single win across the previous two WTC editions — a historic triumph over New Zealand at Mount Maunganui in the 2021–2023 cycle, after going winless in their debut campaign from 2019 to 2021.
As for the WTC Final, which will take place at Lord’s from June 11 to 15 between Australia and South Africa, the winners are set to receive a record $3.6 million — more than double the prize money awarded to New Zealand in 2021 and Australia in 2023.
