Bottom Line
Bangladesh women's team has never advanced to the knockout round in the T20 World Cup tournament. The chances of the tigresses competing in the semifinals of the forthcoming ICC Women's Twenty20 World Cup 2023 are also extremely small. According to Bangladesh’s fixtures, they can start their campaign with a victory over Sri Lanka. However, their other competitors are far stronger and among the favourites to win the competition.
