As against their more accomplished men's counterparts, the Bangladesh women's cricket team has not performed the way it would have liked to at the 20-over showpiece, over the years. They have been winless at the event for 16 straight games and four editions, and the last time they tasted victory was all the way back in 2014, versus Ireland.

Their skipper Nigar Joty Sultana was part of all four previous fruitless campaigns, and wants to buck the trend this time around. They have a good chance of doing that in the very first game, which also happens to be the tournament opener, against Scotland. Bangladesh have won all four of their encounters against Scotland so far and would be eyeing a fifth straight triumph.

A total of 10 teams are participating in the event, that was supposed to take place in Bangladesh but was shifted to United Arab Emirates after political turmoil in the sub-continental country.

Bangladesh will play south Asian rivals Sri Lanka and Pakistan in their two warm-up outings before opening their T20 World Cup campaign on October 3. Here is everything you need to know about Team Bangladesh at ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024.
