Bangladesh recently lost a T20I series against the USA, but their middle-order batters and bowlers have kept them in a strong position in this tournament.
Nepal, on the other hand, is still reeling from a heartbreaking one-run loss to South Africa. They were in a strong position but faltered at the last moment. Nepal will be looking for their first win of the tournament.
Arnos Vale is a spin haven, as seen in the Nepal-South Africa match, which saw 12 wickets for spinners. Light rain is forecast for Sunday evening local time. If the match is washed out, Bangladesh will advance to the Super 8.
