Can Bangladesh Play Like They Did in Asia Cup When Hosting World T20?

The World T20 is a terrific opportunity for Bangladesh to show how far they have come. If the crowds at the 1998 ICC Knock Out Trophy are anything to go by, we should see some packed stadiums and that was a world event held in Bangladesh without the hosting nation even playing! Personally, I can see them defeating the bigger teams and even getting as far as the semi finals and beyond. Such is the nature of the format and such has been their progress and form at home. Underestimate them at your peril.
