Is Bangladesh going to be a threat in the world cup?

Bangladesh has recently shocked New Zealand in the warm-up game. The bad news is Bangladesh is in the same group as India and Sri Lanka. Will this make Bangaldesh a real contender? Will they make India and Sri Lanka run for their points?

Yes, Bangla won their second warm-up game against Scotland quite comfortably with more than 15 overs to spare.

I think you are underestimating the power of dark horses.

I for one never underestimated Bangladesh as they have beaten top sides like India, pakistan, australia in the past so they are quite capable of upsetting top teams if the top teams don't perform at their best. Like what happened to India against Zimbabwe in the first match in 1999 world cup. But i don't overestimate them too. As it was only a warmup game and not real ODImatch and kiwis were not at their best and they had a poor game. But India and sri lanka will be weary of them as bangladesh has nothing to lose and everything to gain. So India will have to play at their best if they want to defeat bangladesh comfortably.

Great response. Thanks. Yes, you are right. I think Bangladesh have some good players in Mortaza, Habibul Bashar, Ashraful and so on. Yes, most of the times they don't perform collectively. If they start doing that, then they will become a good competitive team.
