However, the Bangladesh Cricket Team had to wait for almost 4 years to record its first ever victory in Test cricket, which came against Zimbabwe on 10 January 2005 at Chittagong. This match was a part of a two match series against Zimbabwe and also the first one to be won by Bangladesh.

Bangladesh had started off with their One Day International cricket matches in 1986, when they played the 1985-86 Asia Cup. The first match of Bangladesh in the One Day International format came against Pakistan on 31 March 1986 at Moratuwa which was won by Pakistan by a margin of 7 wickets.

Bangladesh had to wait for almost 12 years to record their first victory in limited overs cricket. They won their first One Day International match against Kenya by a margin of 6 wickets on 17 May 1998 at Hyderabad in the Coca Cola Triangular Series that also included Indian cricket team, apart from Kenya and Bangladesh.

Bangladesh played its first ever T20I match against Zimbabwe on 28 November 2006 at Khulna and won it by a 43 run margin. It was one of the few countries to have won its first T20I match.

Fan Following

The Bangladesh Cricket Team has a good fan base, at least in South Asia. The fans are mainly Bangladeshi nationals because the players have shown a not so good behaviour with the other teams on field. They have 2.3 million followers on Twitter and 12 million followers on Facebook.

Outside the Bangladesh territory, the team hardly receives any support due to the insulting nature of the fans as well as the players. The team players and fans are also known for mocking their opponents using a popular Naagin Dance step, on and off the field.
