Bangladesh T20 World Cup 2026 Exit Group c Impact: ICC T20 World Cup Group C may get disturbed due to Bangladesh’s exit from the tournament. Bangladesh is such a team, which creates problems for big countries and brings excitement in the tournament. Group C was created in such a way that the competition was balanced – two veteran teams, a strong challenger and two emerging teams who could change the course of the tournament on any one night.
Now two situations can arise. First- bangladesh Some other team should be included in its place. Second- Bangladesh’s matches should be directly forfeited.
‘If a new team is included in place of Bangladesh’
If a new team comes in place of Bangladesh, then the tournament will definitely continue, but the competition will not be as tough. It will be easier for big teams like England and West Indies to qualify. Nepal and Italy will get a chance to win, but the chance of a ‘memorable win’ by defeating a bigger team will be reduced.
The path for the top two teams will be relatively easy and the competition may be more based on net run rate. While defeating Bangladesh could change the narrative of the tournament, a win over a replacement team would be limited to just collecting points.
‘If Bangladesh’s matches are directly forfeited’
Direct forfeiture of Bangladesh’s matches means that the teams will get points without even playing. This will make the group less cricket and more mathematics. Some teams will move ahead, some will suffer losses, and the fun of the competition will be lost. This will be the biggest loss for small teams, because only the opportunity to play against big countries in the World Cup takes them forward. If they get a walkover, their experience will also be taken away.
The simple fact is that Bangladesh’s exit will not only change who will advance, but will also change whether Group C will be a real competition or just a race on paper. This will be the biggest loss for small teams. The opportunity to play against big opponents in the World Cup is the real asset for their development, and a walkover will snatch away that opportunity.
