Bangladesh batsmen are facing Oman bowlers in their second game of the Group B in the Twenty20 World Cup at Al Amerat Cricket Ground in Muscat on Tuesday.

Earlier, Bangladesh T20 skipper Mahmudullah won the toss and elected to bat first against co-hosts Oman. 

This match is crucial for Bangladesh to ensure their Super 12s berth with a match to spare but instead, they now face a battle of survival.

After losing their first match unexpectedly against associate member Scotland by 6-runs, the equation for Bangladesh has become tough. Now Bangladesh not only have to win but have to win big making sure that they stay above Scotland and Oman in run rates. 

Bangladesh met Oman just once in this format in qualifying round match in 2016 T20 World Cup and won that game comprehensively by 54 runs through D/L method, thanks to a 63 ball-103 not out of Tamim Iqbal, who withdrew his name this time from the World Cup squad. That remains the only century for Bangladesh in this format.
