Kenya beat bangladesh in 6 odi matches.
Kenya beat Zimbabwe in 5 odi matches.

I think, SRL beat IND in 1979 WC & Kenya best IND twice.

Out of Kenya’s 6 wins, I think most came before our Test status, therefore technically shouldn’t be listed here.

Kenya has also beaten zim and sl

Canada beat Bangaldesh during 2003 World Cup )))

 

[Chokli]

why is Netherland and Canada beating Bangladesh an upset ? aren't both minnows ?

 

[Abdullah Rabbani]

No Bangladesh is not minnow

 

[Chokli]

No Bangladesh is not minnow

winning at home, 100% losing elsewhere = minnow / home bullies

ps: the matches mentioned in OP are when they were truly minnows, sucked everywhere even at home

 

[ARK Rafay]

No Bangladesh is not minnow

Even during the early 2000s?

 

[Abdullah Rabbani]

Even during the early 2000s?

No i am talking about current which won series against Pakistan, Indian and South Africa...

 

[hafeezrocks]

Bangladesh was a Test Side, Netherlands and Canada were associates. Credit where it's due.

 

[hafeezrocks]

Even Afghanistan beat Bangladesh in ODI before Afghans got Test Status.

[aloo paratha]

No Bangladesh is not minnow

Bangladesh are still minnows today, they were on another planet in the early 2000s

 

[Abdullah Rabbani]

Like India in first 20 year's of tests

I think, list is about Test (status) team losing to no Test teams.

No, we are not losing 100% elsewhere. But, yes, home dominat.

I know, we managed to lose a T20 against HK as well. But 4 or 5 of Kenya’s 6 wins are before our Test status.

Bangladesh aren't "associates"

Thread is about associates not getting chances they deserve
ICC has made it tough for the associates to qualify for World Cup

More opportunities against full members & more funding to them would make them a better side

Even Bangladesh whom u still consider minnow have improved a lot since the previous decade

 

[ARK Rafay]

Bangladesh was a Test Side, Netherlands and Canada were associates. Credit where it's due.

So a test side is non-minnow? Afghanistan and Ireland are not minnows in any format by your logic.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

India losing to 2007 against Bangladesh, seriously man I lost money in that match I never thought a team with greats like Sachin, Sewag, Ganguly, MSD would lose to nobodies

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

So a test side is non-minnow? Afghanistan and Ireland are not minnows in any format by your logic.

Test side? Test is overrated and only enjoyed by the unemployed. Do you seriously have five days, 8 hours a day to watch cricket? Does wasting 5 days brings $$$ to your bank account? T20 is the real sport.

 

[Canford Cliffs]

Canada beat Bangaldesh during 2003 World Cup )))

Don't think its funnier than Hong Kong beating them at home in 2014 T20 WC.

There are no shortage of comedy if you follow certain teams.

Nearly same happen against india by kenya.

 

[Executioner]

Most of these upsets are in world cups

You need to have more associates in the world cup

 

[Abdullah Rabbani]

First 8 matches lose by test sides while chasing against associates.
