Sports Live: Bangladesh T20 skipper Mahmudullah won the toss and elected to bat first against co-hosts Oman in their second game of Group B in the Twenty20 World Cup at Al Amerat Cricket Ground in Muscat on Tuesday.

The crucial game starts at 8 PM (Bangladesh Standard Time) and is being aired live on T Sports.

This second game was supposed to be Bangladesh's match to ensure their Super 12s berth with a match to spare but instead, they now face a battle of survival.

The shocking six-run defeat to Scotland in the first match put them in such a miserable situation and changed the whole equation. A defeat against Oman would almost shatter their dream to play the Super 12s.

Bangladesh met Oman just once in this format in a qualifying round match in the 2016 T20 World Cup and won that game comprehensively by 54 runs through the D/L method, thanks to a 63 ball-103 not out of Tamim Iqbal, who withdrew his name this time from the World Cup squad. That remains the only century for Bangladesh in this format.
