Bangladesh were put into bat, after Nepal captain Rohit Paudel won the toss and opted to bowl, in their vital, final Group D game in the T20 World Cup.
A victory for Bangladesh would earn them the final spot in the Super Eights stage, in Group 1 along with Afghanistan, Australia and India.
A defeat would open the door to the Netherlands who face Sri Lanka in St.Lucia later on Sunday.
If Bangladesh lose and the Netherlands win, the Dutch would go through only if they can also improve their run-rate over the Bangladeshis.
