Bermuda vs Bangladesh ICC World Cup Cricket Match 2007
Group B, Match 6, BAN vs BER: Bangladesh beat Bermuda by 7 wickets
Mar 25, 2007
Bangladesh defeated Bermuda by seven wickets to march into the Super Eight stage of the 9th World Cup at Queens Park Oval, Trinidad on Sunday.
Requiring 96 to win in 21 overs, following a revised target on the D/L method, the Tigers made light work of the Bermuda total to seal a berth in the second round of the showpiece event, since making a Cup debut eight years ago.
The match, which saw several rain-stoppages during the first innings, finally produced uninterrupted play during the second half, as Bangladesh finally reached their summit after enduring early hiccups.
In the meanwhile, Sri Lanka topped Group B with six points while Bangladesh finished second with four points. They will enter the Super Eight stage, which kicks-off from Tuesday.
India and Bermuda are the teams knocked out of the group.
Bangladesh team: T Iqbal, S Nafees, M Rahim (wk), A Ahmed, S Hasan, H Bashar (c), M Ashraful, M Mortaza, M Rafique, A Razzak, S Rasel
Bermuda team: O Pitcher, S Outerbridge, D Borden, D Hemp, J Tucker, L Cann, I Romaine (c), D Minors (wk), D Leverock, K Hurdle, S Mukuddem
Group B, Match 6, Trinidad: Bangladesh 96 for 3 (17.3 overs) beat Bermuda 94 for 9 (21.0 overs) by 7 wickets
Group B, Match 6, BAN vs BER: Bangladesh needs to beat Bermuda to enter super eight
Mar 25, 2007
Bangladesh are all set to advance into the Super Eight stage of the World Cup, as all they need to do is beat Bermuda in the final Group match in Trinidad on Sunday.
Only a shock result on the morrow will prevent Bangladesh from progressing for the first time since making their World Cup debut eight years ago.
Bangladesh beat heavyweights India in their first group match but flattered to deceive when they lost to Sri Lanka in the next match.
Bermuda has 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.
However, a defeat to Bermuda may mean curtains for Bangladesh, as India would then gain a back door entry.
Hemp, who captains Glamorgan, is Bermuda's only professional player.
Bangladesh team (from): Habibul Bashar (captain), 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.
