How much ever one desires not to call Bangladesh a minnow any more, the
Asian country's performance is such that it invariably gets them that
tag, especially in the 20 over editions of the World Cup.
Over the four editions of the World Cup, including the ongoing one, Bangladesh have not really made their presence felt, accumulating numbers only in their losses column. In fact, they have such a bad record in the 20-over version of the world event that they have now registered 10 consecutive losses over the 4 editions put together, including the losses to New Zealand and Pakistan in World T20 2012.
Even when Bangladesh's performance in World T20s is put to comparison with some of the minnow nations, the Asian team fare quite poorly. Barring a win against West Indies in their opening match of the World T20 in 2007, Bangladesh have been disappointing as they have suffered only losses since that game - 10 as mentioned in the paragraph above.
Below is the table of teams listed by the worst loss ratio in World T20s and in this, Bangladesh are only slightly better than Afghanistan and Kenya, who have lost all their matches in the World events till date.
