Bangladesh team holds the record for the most successive Test match defeats corresponding record in one-day internationals? Bangladesh lost 21 successive Test matches (12 by an innings) between November 2001 and February 2004, the run being ended by a draw against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo. Zimbabwe themselves lost nine successive Tests between December 2001 and October 2003. Bangladesh also had a poor spell of 9 successive Test defeats, and two runs of eight. South Africa lost their first eight Test matches, all in the 19th century; England lost eight Tests running to Australia in 1920-21 and 1921; and West Indies lost eight in a row in 2005 and 2006. Therefore; turning to the one-day international, Bangladesh lost 23 ODIs in a row between October 1999 and October 2002, which broke their own record of 22 (March 1986 to May 1998). Actually that run of 23 was only ended by a no-result: Bangladesh actually went 47 successive ODIs (45 defeats and two no results) without winning one between October 1999 and November 2003. Next come Zimbabwe (18 successive defeats between June 1983 and March 1992) and Bangladesh again (18 during 2003).
