Bangladesh set for Super 8s place
World Cup group B, Trinidad: Bangladesh v Bermuda
Match starts 1430 BST

Bangladesh v Bermuda
Bangladesh will go through to the second stage of the World Cup, the Super 8s, if they beat Bermuda in the final Group match on Sunday.

Only a shock result will prevent them from progressing for the first time since making their World Cup debut eight years ago.

Bangladesh beat one of the favourites India in their first group match but then lost to Sri Lanka.

Bermuda have lost both matches and only David Hemp has scored a half-century.

India lost to Sri Lanka by 69 runs on Friday to put Bangladesh in charge of their own destiny.

Bangladesh captain Habibul Bashar said: "Defeating Bermuda is all that we're thinking of right now, but we do realise that this will take us into the next round."

Bermuda, the smallest country ever to qualify for the World Cup, has had massive defeats in both matches. Sri Lanka outplayed them by 243 runs and India then defeated Bermuda by a limited-overs record margin of 257 runs.

Hemp, who captains Glamorgan, is Bermuda's only professional player.

Bangladesh (from): Habibul Bashar (capt), Shahriar Nafees, Tamim Iqbal, Aftab Ahmed, Saqibul Hasan, Mohammad Ashraful, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mohammad Rafique, Abdur Razzak, Mashrafe Mortaza, Shahadat Hossain, Tapash Baisya, Syed Rasel, Rajin Saleh, Javed Omar.

Bermuda (from): Irvine Romaine (capt), Dean Minors, Delyone Borden, Lionel Cann, David Hemp, Kevin Hurdle, Malachi Jones, Stefan Kelly, Dwayne Leverock, Saleem Mukuddem, Stephen Outerbridge, Oliver Pitcher, Clay Smith, Janeiro Tucker, Kwame Tucker.

Umpires: Steve Davis (AUS) and Ian Howell (RSA)
