When a team loses wickets early in the game and their top and middle orders collapse, it's tough for them to survive since we can't anticipate much more from the batsman at number eight. Bangladesh has encountered this position several times in the T20 World Cup, therefore let's have a look at some of the 7th wicket partnerships in the T20 World Cup for Bangladesh.
