It has been a woeful World Cup campaign so far for England. They have been hammered by Australia, New Zealand and Sri Lanka and they are on the brink of elimination. The clash against Bangladesh in Adelaide is crucial for England. A loss means that they will head back home while a win keeps their campaign afloat for another day.

Bangladesh, on the other hand, have benefited immensely from their wash-out against Australia in Brisbane. They are currently on five points and a win for them seals a quarter-final berth for them. They are on the brink of history and they will be desperate to capitalize on the moment.

Bangladesh are heading into this match with plenty of confidence. They chased down 318 against Scotland in Nelson, which was their highest successful chase in World Cups. They are also buoyed by their performance against England in 2011.

In the previous World Cup clash in Chittagong, Bangladesh won the match by two wickets when they chased down 227 against England. Many Bangladesh fans have not forgotten this fact and they have tweeted this fact before the start of the match.

We can do it. !

Mashrafe Mortaza: Mahmudullah was tremendous, he has shown he has guts, it's the first hundred for Bangladesh. And also I have to mention Mushfiqur, once again he was brilliant. I have to take Rubel's name, he is very happy now. he got 4 wickets and all were crucial wickets. This win is for the freedom fighters of Bangladesh and especially for all those people who are working hard. Still day in and day out they keep supporting us, doesn't matter whether we win or lose and I think this is for those guys.

Eoin Morgan: Pretty poor. Obviously to be knocked out the World Cup this early in unbelievably disappointing. I am gutted at the moment.

For England, the inquest will already begin. Their methods and their approach will be heavily criticised until the squad comes home. For Bangladesh, it is time to celebrate but they must build from this success.
