What are your expectations for the upcoming T20 World Cup?

Hey folks, I was wondering what are you expectations for Bangladesh for the upcoming T20 World Cup in Sri Lanka? I'm asking for both results and in general.

Batting wise, we seem to be an improved side. Tamim and Mushfiq have shown positive signs in the SLPL. We also seem to have a better game plan when it comes to our batting. I think the contribution for the middle and lower order will play a huge part in setting either a modest target or a threatening one.

Bowling wise, I'd like to see a better collective effort. We know what our spinners are capable of doing; restricting runs and taking wickets. But we also know that the wickets in Sri Lanka are changing, becoming friendlier to pace. We need our pacers to step up big, taking a few early wickets so our spinners can really turn on the pressure in the middle overs.

Fielding wise, other than the occasional brain fart, we are a good fielding side, probably the best in the sub continent. We must do everything to restrict 15-20 runs on the field and take advantage of the run out and catch opportunities. If we do so, we will restrict teams to modest totals.

Overall, I expect Bangladesh to advance to the QF and put on the good show during the World Cup. Most cricket followers know that we are no longer an easy target and at the end of this World Cup, I want them know that Bangladesh cricket is here to stay and do damage
