It may rain at the Gabba for Tigers

Fresh from a massive win against Afghanistan, Bangladesh would now be looking forward to their match against Australia on Saturday at the Gabba in Brisbane. However, their momentum may be hindered by rain as a tropical storm is approaching Brisbane fast. A forecast of 80 per cent chance of rain with thunderstorms is on for Saturday, putting the game at risk of being washed-out. While this may dampen some spirits, it is a good chance for Bangladesh to salvage two valuable points from a devastating Aussie side, without doing any heavy lifting. However, if the game is abadoned, then Michael Clarke, who was scheduled to play in this game, will have to wait till the third game against New Zealand to finally play. The two points would put Tigers at a total of six, and make their qualification into the next phase much more likely. So instead of hoping for a miracle against the Aussies, perhaps the touring players should do a rain-dance in their next training session.
