After their moderate performance in their first appearance in World Cup and acquiring Test status in 2000, Bangladesh would have expected a better World Cup performance this year but they had a nightmare performance in this tournament losing 5 out of their group matches while one was washed out and were placed last in their group.

Bangladesh were placed in Group B with Sri Lanka, Kenya, New Zealand, South Africa, West Indies and Canada. In their first group match Bangladesh was upset by Canada, first time featuring in the World Cup. Though Canada could only manage 180 losing all wickets, Bangladesh had more worse performance being bundled out for just 120 and lost the match by 60 runs.[7] In their third match West Indies managed 244 batting first, in the second inning Bangladesh could bat only 8 overs and match washed away due to heavy rain.[8] In none of their group matches Bangladesh could breach the line of 200-run marks while the match against Caribbeans washed away. Their highest team total in the tournament was against New Zealand where they posted 198 losing 7 wickets but the latter successfully chased that down with 7 wickets in hand.[9] In their last group match they could not even chase 217 runs posted by Kenya and were folded in just 185 runs resulting in their 32-runs defeat and consequently Kenya progressed to the Super Six stage.[10]

This World Cup should have been so memorable to Bangladesh having the advantage of playing their all matches on home soil being the co-host along with India and Sri Lanka and having the much more balanced and experienced guys like Shakib Al Hasan, the skipper, Tamim Iqbal, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mahmudullah, Shahriar Nafees, Mohammad Ashraful and Abdur Razzak, but they failed to come up with the expectations. The opening ceremony was hosted at Bangabandhu National Stadium.[20][21]

The World Cup opened with a match between co-hosts Bangladesh and India. While India batting first posted a huge total of 370 for 4 courtesy of Virender Sehwag's 175 and a century from Virat Kohli who in the process became first batsman to score a century on World Cup debut. In reply, Bangladesh started off rapidly in their chase, getting 51 runs in the first five overs; but soon, their top order got out but and the run-rate slowed after that and they were not in the hunt, and at the end they got to 283/9 without challenging the Indian total.[22]

In their next match against Ireland, Bangladesh were all out scoring only 205 but in reply Ireland were folded out in 178 runs courtesy of Shafiul Islam's great bowling (4 wicket for 21 runs) who also recorded the best bowling figure by a Bangladeshi bowler.[23]

4 March 2011 14:30 (D/N) Scorecard

11 March 2011 14:30 (D/N) Scorecard

England  225 (49.4 overs)	v	Bangladesh 227/8 (49 overs)
Jonathan Trott 67 (99) Naeem Islam 2/29 (8 overs)		Imrul Kayes 60 (100) Ajmal Shahzad 3/43 (10 overs)

• Bangladesh won the toss and elected to field.

In the next match England could only manage 225 runs before being bowled out, Bangladesh's score, in reply, was at one point 169/8 but Mahmudullah with the tail ender Shafiul Islam made unbeaten 58 run partnership for the 8th wicket that brought victory for the team. This win also accounted as One of their Greatest Victories of World Cup history[25][26]

In the next match against Netherlands, Bangladesh reached the target of 161 runs so comfortably losing only 4 wickets with the courtesy of Imrul Kayes' fine half century and the tight bowling of Abdur Razzak in the first innings. Thus Bangladesh made record of winning all matches against the participating European teams (Ireland, England, Netherlands) in this World Cup.[27]

In their last group match against South Africa, Bangladesh yet again suffered a drastic batting collapse being bowled out for just 78 runs and eventually lost the match by 206 runs and their hope for qualifying for Quarter-final was also ended. Though their points was same as West Indies (6) but their negative run-rates due to having drastic losses against South Africa, West Indies and India, fetched them the rude reality of being disqualified for Quarter-finals while England and West Indies qualified from Quarter finals with 1 point difference and only positive net run-rates respectively.[28][29]

In their first group match Bangladesh pipped Afghanistan, appearing in the World Cup for the first time, comprehensively by 105 runs with the courtesy of Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim's half-century and a good spell of the skipper Mortaza. In this match Shakib also became first Bangladesh batsman to achieve 4000 ODI runs.[31] The clash between Australia and Bangladesh washed away for heavy rain and points were shared between two teams.[32] In their third group match, Bangladeshi bowlers were clueless in front of Sri Lankan Batsman and Sri Lanka reached to the peak of runs (332/1 in 50 overs) with a blistering knock of 162* from Tillakaratne Dilshan and a well composed century from Kumara Sangakkara. In reply Bangladesh could only manage 240 runs in 47 overs before being all out with some handy contributions from middle order but no one could stand up with a big knock like their counterparts and consequently Sri Lanka won by 92 runs.[33]
