The Bangladesh national cricket team returned to the country today (September 16) after completing their Asia Cup mission.

Meanwhile, the Tigers secured two victories in the tournament-one against Afghanistan in the group phase and the last one against India in their last match of the Super Four phase.

Before that victory against India, Bangladesh was eliminated from the race of the final, following their seven-wicket and 21-run defeat to Pakistan and Sri Lanka respectively.

They stumbled at the very beginning when they suffered a five-wicket defeat to an injury-depleted Sri Lanka.

However, an 89-run win against Afghanistan paved their way to the Super Four.

Their performance in the first two matches in Super Four was below par but against India, they showed what they are capable of. Bangladesh came up with six changes in contrast of India's five changes in the match which went down to the wire.

Bangladesh held its nerve and showed the mental str ength to finally seal the deal by only six runs.
