Sunday, 23 September 2007


After taking part in the preparatory four-nation tournament in Kenya and then the ICC World Twenty20 in South Africa, Bangladesh national cricket team returns home tonight (Sunday), reports UNB.
Bangladesh, which was placed in strong group A of the ICC World Twenty20 along with West Indies and hosts South Africa, earlier made their Super Eights entrance eliminating West Indies by six wickets in their inaugural match at Johannesburg on September 13.
Then they were handed a seven-wicket defeat by hosts South Africa in their 2nd group match in Cape Town on September 15.
In the Super Eights, the Bengal Tigers suffered a nine-wicket defeat against the World Champions Australia on September 16 in Cape Town and a 64-run defeat against Sri Lanka in Johannesburg on September 18.
Later, they ended their Twnety20 mission with a disappointing note conceding a four-wicket defeat to strong Pakistan at Newlands in Cape Town on September 20.
