When Bangladesh lost to joint Nations in T20Is

On May 19, 2025, Bangladesh once again found against a common nation on the wrong side of a T20I result. Captain Muhammad Waseem’s record-breaking kick strengthened the United Arab Emirates, the highest T20i chases so far-and doing so, while doing so, Bangladesh’s Sharjah gave a stinging coup.

This was not stunned by Bangladesh for the first time by a lower rival competitor. Over the years, the tigers have experienced a handful of humility against common nations. Here is a look at the most remarkable look for these defeats.

UAE VS Bangladesh – Sharjah, 2025

Conclusion: BAE 2 Winned by Small Door
Match summary:

• Bangladesh: 205/5 (Tanzid Hasan 59, Towhid Hridoy 45*)
• UAE: 206/8 19.5 at sea (Waseem 82 closed 42)

The UAE’s 206 chase was the highest by a joint team against the full member in T20IS. After Waseem’s 82 and a stable hand from Zohaib Khan, he helped the late Kameos UAE’s finish line with a ball. It was the first victory of the UAE among the formats against Bangladesh and a turning point for a joint jack.

USA vs Bangladesh – Houston, 2024

Conclusion: USA won with 5 small doors
Match summary:

• Bangladesh: 153/6 (Towhid Hridoy 58, Mahmudullah 31)
• America: 156/5 19.3 Ovar (Harmeet Singh 33* Closed 13, Corey Anderson 34 closed 25)

Only days before the T20 World Cup, Bangladesh swung in Houston. International experience from Corey Anderson and the United States, which was increased with a Blitz from Harmeet Singh, easily overhauled the target. This was the US’s second T20I win against a testing country. The US defeated Bangladesh in a 3 -game T20i series after winning the first two games.

Hong Kong vs Bangladesh – Chattogram, 2014 T20 World Cup

Conclusion: Hong Kong won with 2 small doors
Match summary:

• Bangladesh: 108 All Out (Nadeem Ahmed 4/21, Nizakat Khan 3/19)
• Hong Kong: 19.4 at sea 114/8 (Munir Dar 36*, Irfan Ahmed 34)

It was the match that waved the foundations of the Bangladesh cricket. Bangladesh, who played at home, fell back to 108 with a sharp bowling from Nadeem and Nizakat. Despite some tense moments, Hong Kong held his nerves, closed the chase with two balls to back up the T20 World Cup 2014.

Scotland vs Bangladesh – Al Amerat, 2021 T20 World Cup

Conclusion: Scotland won 6 running
Match summary:

• Scotland: 140/9 (Greaves 45, Watt 22)
• Bangladesh: 134/7 (Mushfiqur 38, Shakib 20; Greaves 2/19)

Bangladesh seemed to be under control, but Chris Greaves changed the narrative. He turned the versatile brightness into his head. The ball scaled two important small gates (Shakib and Mushfiqur) and helped to limit the tigers of Scotland to a chase under six par. The defeat launched Bangladesh’s poor T20 World Cup 2021 campaign.

Bangladesh’s record of common countries in T20IS is more disturbing than an ordinary observer may suspect.

Nepal, PNG, Oman and Malaysia’s appreciation of some dominant trips, while the US, UAE, Hong Kong and Scotland Dent Bangladesh’s record is renewing.
