This time there's no World Cup for us. The new schedule has reduced it to a 1 round quadrangular tournament for minnows.

Did BD gain something amazing by 10 wickets loss to WI just few weeks ago?
Those matches will destroy their confidence. At least from this series the team is gaining confidence and players are learing how to win from easy/tough situations. The win by 26 runs against ZIM was far more superior learning experience than that of the 10 wicket loss against WI.

Yes, we did. We learned that we are not going anywhere with playing these meaningless ODIs against Zimbabwe/Kenya. How can big matches destroy our confidence when we doesn't have any to begin with? Winning against Zim/Ken isn't sharpening our players neither in terms of ability nor mindset. In ICCCT, they went straight back to the age process of fighting for "honorable defeat". So far whatever progress we had since getting test status has come through playing against tough teams. Rembmber the ICC Trophy 97 to Test status days, when we used to play very few matches against big teams. Our progress was basically zero.
