<div style="text-align: justify; "><span style="font-size: 1rem;"><b>Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat first against Pakistan in their final game of Super 12s at Adelaide Oval on Sunday.</b></span><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Bangladesh and Pakistan are fighting it out for the final spot in the last four.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify; ">The Tigers so far won two matches against Netherlands and Zimbabwe, giving the country a best ever T20 World Cup campaign but a victory against a top flight nation still eluded them. They tasted a huge 104-run margin defeat against South Africa but came close to beat India in the last game.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;However, panic and lack of experience got the better of them as they lost the match by five runs. But there is a lot to take from the game, which gave the confidence to beat Pakistan.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In the inaugural T20 world Cup in 2007, Bangladesh beat West Indies and that remained their only victory against a top team in this event.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Bangladesh then beat some big teams in bilateral series and other tournaments, albeit not more often. However, since the 2021 World Cup, they couldn't beat any top teams, which marked their vulnerability in this format further.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Overall Bangladesh played 143 T20 Internationals and while they won 49 matches, they had lost 91 matches. Three other matches ended in no result. So a victory against India would help them complete a half-century of T20 victory.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify; ">bnbd24/kh</div>
