Bangladesh set out with limited ambition.
(From Agence France Presse)
Bangladesh are not even dreaming of winning the World Cup in South Africa, just aiming for a couple of victories to end a long run of dismal and disappointing performances.
Bangladesh, who have won just three of their 61 one-dayers, are searching for their first success since the 1999 World Cup in England after suffering a record 26 consecutive defeats.
"Our prime target is to win against Kenya and Canada as we are aware of the realities," conceded Bangladesh captain Khaled Mashud.
"We'll also try to win against any of the other four teams in the group. I think, on a given day, we can make things difficult for fancied sides."
Bangladesh are grouped with South Africa, the West Indies, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and non-Test playing nations Kenya and Canada in the preliminary league. The top three teams advance to the Super Six.
"The dream of going to the World Cup is over because we are making our second appearance in the big event. We are also under no illusions about our chances," said Mashud.
