Bangladesh would eye victory against a struggling Scotland to keep their quarterfinal hopes alive in the cricket World Cup when the two teams clash in a Pool A match here tomorrow.If Bangladesh defeat Scotland, who have lost all three matches so far,then the Asian minnows would be a win away from the quarterfinals.Bangladesh need to win two of their last three matches and their next opponents are England,who are languishing at number six having lost three matches out of four.
While Bangladesh have everything to play for,Scotland are looking to get their first win of the tournament.
Scotland lost a thriller against Afghanistan and tomorrow is probably their best chance to register a win as they next play former champions Sri Lanka and Australia.Bangladesh has three points from as many matches and currently sits third in the table,behind only New Zealand and Sri Lanka.However,by the time the match starts,Bangladesh will be fourth–with the winner of the Australia-Afghanistan match at the WACA on Wednesday going past.Scotland is at the bottom of the table,still chasing the dream of bagging an elusive first win in a World Cup match.
Preston Mommsen,the Scotland captain,said on match eve that his side was wary of Bangladesh’s spinners,and prepared to take them on.

Preston Mommsen,the Scotland captain,said on match eve that his side was wary of Bangladesh’s spinners,and prepared to take them on.
"We are expecting a full spin attack from the Bangladeshis or we're preparing for that at least," he said. "In the last 12 months we've spent a lot of time training in subcontinental conditions against spin. We had a 10-day batting camp with Matthew Maynard in Dubai where the main focus was playing against spin. We're fully prepared. We've ticked all the boxes we need to tick."
