On Facebook, they have earned 14 million followers while on Twitter, 3.5 million people are following their page named Bangladesh Cricket. Along with these two social media platforms, they are famous on Instagram as well. On the 13-year-old social media site, the Bangla team has garnered 2.6 million supporters.

Since the 2012 Asia Cup, Bangladesh’s performance in white-ball cricket has witnessed a steep rise.

In the 2016 and 2018 installments of the tournament, they ended up as runners-up, losing to India both times.
