Tigers, Aussies vie for a win today

This is Australia's best chance to register their first win of the competition. Equally, it is also Bangladesh's best chance of breaking a depressing sequence at home and arresting a losing streak that stands at four.
The two teams will play at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur, today (Tuesday) at 3.30PM.
Australia came into the tournament as one of the overwhelming favourites, their recent T20 International form encouraging enough for them to strongly believe that they had what it takes to go all the way in the one competition they have failed to crack thus far. Having soundly beaten England at home, they then overpowered South Africa in their own backyard earlier this month, bringing with them bundles of confidence to go with plenty of runs and wickets, report agencies.
Where Australia's implosion has been unexpected, Bangladesh's hasn't been quite so. They haven't won a game in the World T20 since the inaugural competition in 2007, their form coming in to this tournament was underwhelming but, even so, no one expected them to perform as poorly as they have done in their own backyard.
Bangladeshi fans, eternally optimistic and largely forgiving, haven't even had the energy to summon up anger or outrage despite the horribly sub-par performances of their Tigers. Mushfiqur Rahim's side has been beaten by 73 runs, eight wickets and 50 runs in its three Super 10 games.
In another match Pakistan will play West Indies at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur at 7.30PM today (Tuesday).
It is a knockout scenario for both teams, with the winner going through to the semi-finals. They have the same number of wins (two) and points (four) but the defending champions West Indies enjoy a higher net run-rate, +1.223, against Pakistan's +0.893. In the event of a washout West Indies will go through on their higher net run-rate, but the forecast is for clear weather.
