Who has had the most disappointing T20 World Cup
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

Bangladesh by a country mile, this poll cant even be a competition. We are the hosts with a point to prove to our ever present critics and haters, crowds turned up everyday in numbers at the stadium with colors and flags and millions of people infront of the television and all they got to see is their team losing to a semi professional cricket team with part time cricket players and rest of the matches without even showing a fight. No country can have a more disappointing tournament than this.

Our whole 2014 was very disapointment so far.
But T20? its a disapoinment to us, not the most.
Purely based on T20 and word "Most", I think Ireland, Zim, Eng and Aus are ahead of us.

England is more than capable of chasing big targets. They can also recovery from batting collapse. They were down 0/2 for Allah's sake man!!!! If that was Bangladesh then, well you know very well how it would go down.

Australia suffered to acclimatize in our scorching summer and weakened by the absence of Mitchel Johnson and James Faulkner. They were the biggest flop in this edition.
