THE TEAM NEWS

BANGLADESH

• Bangladesh suffered defeat in their opening T20 World Cup match against Scotland and now face an uphill task to remain in the tournament with this game against Oman shaping as a pivotal clash.
• The Tigers fell six runs short with their scoring rate proving to be not good enough but ultimately, they will know it was their efforts with the ball that cost them the win having failed to capitalise on restricting the Scots to 53/6.

OMAN

• Oman produced a brilliant display to brush Papua New Guinea aside in their opening T20 World Cup clash and that ten-wicket success will give them plenty of confidence ahead of this contest with Bangladesh.
• Having limited PNG to 129/9, Oman responded without losing a wicket as Jatinder Singh and Aqib Ilyas combining for 131 and they will feel they have the quality with both bat and ball to pose Bangladesh some issues here.

THE PREDICTION

This has turned into a must-win game for Bangladesh after they suffered a shock loss to Scotland in their T20 World Cup opener. The pressure is now on and it will be intriguing to see how they handle it against a buoyant Oman side that come into this on the back of an outstanding win over Papua New Guinea. Oman made light work of their opponents, largely because of their efforts with the bat and will be full of confidence on the back of that. Bangladesh should win but it should be a very close game and Oman should be able to post over 120 runs if they are put into bat first with them setting the Tigers a tricky total to surpass.
