Bangladesh's hopes of making it to the Super 12 depend on putting together a comprehensive show against Papua New Guinea (PNG) at the Oman Cricket Academy Ground on Thursday.
Bangladesh had recently beaten Australia in T20 cricket this year But HAVE LOST TO SCOTLAND in their opening match of T20 world cup 2021.
Bangladesh go into the match third on the four-team table with two points, behind Oman on run-rate Even if they win on Thursday, Situation could arise with three teams on four points each. If they lose, they are out of the tournament.
PNG for their part are taking inspiration from Scotland, Two days ago, they came back from 35/5 to nearly chasing down 166. The World Cup debutants aren't mathematically out of the competition yet.
Allrounder Charles Amini from PNG Said "It will be history in the making to win at least a game in the World Cup," "So that would be the first thing. Whatever happens after that is not in our control. We'll try to do our best. If there's an opportunity in us qualifying for the next stage with the net run rate, we'll obviously try to work towards that."
The form of Shakib Al Hasan in the middle order is a positive, but they could use more hitting at the death. While they may not make changes to their XI, there may be a reshuffle in the batting order.
