Tigers scored 127 in 20 overs losing 8 wickets.
The winner of the match will get the ticket of the semifinal straightway. The opportunity came for both of the teams after South Africa’s shocking 13-run defeat to Netherlands in the earlier game of this venue today.
In the crucial game, Bangladesh brought up three changes with Soumya Sarkar, Nasum Ahmed and Ebadot Hossain replacing Shoriful Islam, Yasir Ali Chowdhury and Hasan Mahmud.
