England's failure to make it to the knock-out stage was the serious talking point from the last World Cup. It was one of the poorest shows from England as they could only defeat Scotland and Afghanistan. In an all-important group match, Bangladesh had beaten England by 15 runs. Chasing a target of 276, England got all-out for 260 in 48.3 overs.

With this win, Bangladesh had ensured that England, alongside Scotland and Afghanistan, will be the third and last side to eliminate from pool A. Mahmudullah had scored a brilliant century for Bangladesh, while Rubel Hossain was the star with the ball, picking up four wickets.

It was the famous story from that tournament because it was also the first time when Bangladesh qualified for the knock-out stage at the World Cup. Though Bangladesh could not go much ahead as India defeated them easily in the quarter-final at Melbourne.
