World Cup teams: Strengths and key players



Bangladesh: They shocked everybody in the 2007 World Cup by defeating India in the group stage and scalped South Africa in the second round. In the run-up to the World Cup they have been in great form, having just beaten New Zealand 4-0 and Zimbabwe 3-1 in their past two ODI series. On home pitches they can be dangerous with their spin-based attack.

Key men: Left-handed batsman Tamim Iqbal's pyrotechnics are well known. Chance for batsman Mohammad Ashraful to showcase his talent.

World Cup record: Played 20, Won 5, Lost 14, No result 1

Squad: Shakib Al Hasan (captain), Tamim Iqbal, Imrul Kayes, Junaid Siddique, Shahriar Nafees, Raqibul Hasan, Mohammad Ashraful, Mushfiqur Rahim, Naeem Islam, Mahmudullah, Abdur Razzak, Rubel Hossain, Shafiul Islam, Nazmul Hossain, Suhrawadi Shuvo. Coach: Jamie Siddons (Australia)
