The 2024 ICC Women's T20 World Cup marks a significant moment for Bangladesh, as the team aims to break a decade-long winless streak in the tournament.
Scheduled to take place from October 3 to October 20 in the UAE, this edition is particularly crucial for Bangladesh, who last celebrated a victory in the World Cup back in 2014 against Ireland.
Since then, they have participated in four subsequent tournaments without securing a win, losing all 16 matches played during this span.
Under the leadership of captain Nigar Sultana Joty, who has been part of the team since their last win, there is a renewed sense of determination.
With aspirations to advance beyond the group stage, Bangladesh's performance in this World Cup will be closely watched as they strive to rewrite their narrative in women's cricket on an international stage.
