Afghanistan, with their fabulous net run rate, will replace Pakistan at the top of Group 2 with a win here

Batting has let West Indies down in both matches, while Bangladesh will need an all-round show to post victory

Australia are likely to be unchanged but Maheesh Theekshana could return for Sri Lanka if fit

Namibia have the edge having beaten Scotland in both their most-recent outings this month

Bangladesh may bring back Taskin, while England may not yet risk playing Wood after a niggle made him miss out against West Indies

Pakistan will have to quickly adjust from the highs of their historic win

It's too early for either team to panic but whoever loses will be in a difficult position for the rest of the group stages

Both teams come into the Super 12s on the back of impressive performances

Pakistan will have to overcome an opposition with better personnel, and with their own prep having been hit

Bangladesh, however, have the more reliable middle order, even if it hasn't quite clicked as they would have liked so far

In a group that also has Australia, Bangladesh, South Africa and, possibly, Sri Lanka, both teams would like to get on the board as soon as possible

Dinesh Chandimal's poor form might prompt Sri Lanka to bring in Charith Asalanka

Loser goes home in must-win clash for both sides, who have met only once before in a competitive fixture

Oman, Bangladesh and Scotland are bunched so closely together on NRR that nothing is certain till all the games get over

Inexperienced PNG will look to capitalise on Bangladesh's lack of run-scoring in the powerplay and at the death

Tricky challenge awaits the 2014 T20 World Cup champions against a side high on confidence

Namibia might stick with the XI that lost to Sri Lanka but Netherlands could bring in Stephan Myburgh and Timm van der Gugten

PNG, meanwhile, are a loss away from an early exit, less than 48 hours after their maiden T20 World Cup outing against Oman

Having failed to finish Scotland off after reducing them to 53 for 6, the Group B favourites must bring their A game against the hosts
