Bangladesh face an uphill task against the rampaging South Africans.


In a desperate battle for survival, Bangladesh face an uphill task against the rampaging South Africans in their final group match here tomorrow to have any chance of making the World Cup quarterfinals. Bangladesh's chances of making the knockout stage of the mega-event were dented when England clinched a 18-run win against the West Indies in Chennai yesterday. And now the Tigers face an uphill task of beating the strong Protean side in order to have any hopes of advancing further in the event. With eight points from five games, South Africa are the only team from Group B to have qualified for the quarterfinals. Otherwise the group is wide open with four teams -- India, West Indies, Bangladesh and England -- fighting for the rest of the three spots.
