Bangladesh qualify for Super Ten, will face Pakistan on March 15, Wednesday at Kolkata at 3:30pm local time after thrashing Oman by 54 runs at Dharamsala.
When the tournament's schedule was first announced, few would have given Oman a chance of qualifying ahead of Bangladesh and Ireland from their group. Having beaten Ireland in a last-over thriller, Oman, whose game against Netherlands was washed out, will head into their knockout clash against Bangladesh high on confidence. But confidence alone won't help them if the iffy Dharamsala weather intervenes. It has been raining for the last two days, and plenty more is forecast on match day. If there were to be another washout, Oman would endure heartbreak as Bangladesh are marginally ahead on net run rate.
An injury-plagued Bangladesh, confronted with the stigma of suspect bowling actions, will go into their second ICC World T20 qualifier against Ireland at Dharamsala Cricket Stadium today. The match will start at 8 pm BST.
Bangladesh launched their ICC World T20 campaign on the right track but not before a few goose-bumps against the spirited Netherlands, who almost ran down the Tigers' competitive 153 before falling eight runs short in their opening ICC World T20 qualifier at Dharamsala yesterday.
