Bangladesh v Scotland Preview, Match 27, Nelson

 

 

A win against Scotland would catapault Bangladesh back into the top half of the Pool A points table.

 Between them, the two sides locking horns in the 27th match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 have played a combined total of just 39 matches on cricket’s biggest stage.

 When Bangladesh and Scotland face off in Nelson on Thursday (March 5) though, none of them will be worrying too much about relative amounts of big-match experience. The points table in Pool A is such that Bangladesh has a tangible shot at making the quarterfinals, while Scotland will be very eager to translate spunky performances into points.
Bangladesh has three points from as many matches and currently sits third in the table, behind only New Zealand and Sri Lanka. However, by the time the match starts, Bangladesh will be fourth – with the winner of the Australia-Afghanistan match at the WACA on Wednesday going past. Scotland is at the bottom of the table, still chasing the dream of bagging an elusive first win in a World Cup match.
