2007
Bangladesh prepared for the World Cup with three series wins, defeating Zimbabwe 5-0 at home and 3-1 in Zimbabwe. They then played a series of matches against non-Test playing nations, defeating Scotland 2-0 at home and winning a tri-series undefeated against Canada and Bermuda.
On 17 March, in their first match of the 2007 Cricket World Cup, Bangladesh stunned India, a former world cup champion, with a five wicket victory in Port of Spain, Trinidad. Bangladesh scored 195/5 in reply to India's 191 all out. On 21 March, though, they lost to Sri Lanka 318/4 to 112 all out, Bangladesh losing by 198 runs. However, on 25 March, Bangladesh recouped its loss 96/3 to 94/9 win against Bermuda, advancing to the Super 8 round and cementing India's first-round elimination in the tournament. Bangladesh lost to Australia on 31 March and Ireland in that tournament and also to New Zealand on 2 April. On 7 April they won an outstanding game against South Africa by 67 runs.
