The final match of the group stage was a stop-start affair, thanks to plenty of rain in Port of Spain, and was eventually reduced to a 21-overs per side slogfest. Bangladesh won the toss and elected to field, knowing that a win would secure their own place in the Super Eight and secure an early flight home for the Indians, and within the first over the wickets began to fall. Dean Minors top-scored for Bermuda with 23, as their usual mainstay David Hemp went for a 4th-ball duck. To their credit, Bermuda's final total of 94/9 was reasonable in the conditions, and when Saleem Mukuddem secured 3 early wickets it looked like the upset may have been on the cards. The arrival of Mohammad Ashraful at the crease signalled the end of the Bermudan dream, though, and Ashraful and Saqibul Hasan steading the Bangladeshi innings and saw their side home.
