Tigers to play against Australia today

Touring Bangladesh will play their 2nd match of the three-match Commonwealth Bank ODI series against world champions Australia today (Wednesday) at the TIO Stadium in Darwin with a hope to lift their confidence devastated with their batting debacle in the first match, reports UNB.brThe match will start at 930 am Darwin time and 600 am Bangladesh standard time.brThe Bengal Tigers who are suffering from an image crisis for their lowest ever ODI total of 74 runs to concede a humiliating 180-run defeat in the first ODI will play their 3rd and last ODI on Saturday.brThe Bangladesh team, divided into two groups, made their net practices at the TIO Stadium's nets and the Marrara Oval's centre wicket this afternoon.brBangladesh has made one change in their lineup as their reliable batsman Roqibul Hasan was ruled out of the final squad due to a thumb injury giving a chance to left-hand opener Zunaed Siddiqui. Zunaed will open the batting with Tamim Iqbal.brThe Bangladesh camp had remained quiet since the batting debacle in the first ODI that hurt the image of the team in Darwin and the players are determined to make a turnaround in the second match today, according to message received here.brWe'll have to play a much, much better game. Getting over 250 or even in the region of 220-230 could be said a good performance. That'd give us a chance, said captain Mohammad Ashraful.brThe challenge for the Tigers has been lifting the battered confidence and Coach Jamie Siddons spoke separately with the batsmen and the bowlers emphasizing the need for playing from the heart.
