Netherlands, Hong Kong and Nepal have capped off a wonderful tournament for themselves given their rank and expectations. Even though two of SL/NZ/WI/PAK will be disappointed to not make the semis with their strong line up, this tournament will still not be something for them to hang their head in shame for.

On the other hand, obvious reasons for us BD fans to feel disappointed. But do other fans have a right to feel even more disappointed?

Bangladesh:
• Embarassing loss to Hong Kong
• Blown away with no fight whatsoever vs. IND, PAK, WI (home conditions)
• Team looked lost and cohesiveness
• Poor fielding, batting, bowling, keeping, captaincy
• Bright Spots : Qualified to main draw, beat AFG and NEP handily

Afghanistan:
• Toothless loss to BD after high expectation set with Asia cup win
• Loss to Nepal

England:
• Quick elimination before final match
• Loss to Netherlands in embarrassing fashion
• Bright Spot : Beat SL chasing 190

Australia:
• Entered tournament with one of the strongest teams on paper and lost all 3 matches, 2 from winning positions

Ireland:
• Blowout loss to Netherlands after beating ZIM and looking like the team to beat in their group
• Expectations as dominant Associate nation
• Warm up loss to Bangladesh
• Bright Spot : ZIM win

Zimbabwe:
• Only Test team left out of main draw
• Loss to Ireland and barely defeating NED (last ball results)
• Heartbreaking elimination by Netherlands magic against IRE
• Warm Up Loss to Associates
