"It would mean everything to beat Bangladesh," said Johnston, whose side have been outclassed in the Super Eights following their stunning win against Pakistan and draw with Zimbabwe that enabled them to qualify.

"We have come here to put Irish cricket on the map and this is a huge game for us. This is the one we had marked down as the one we could win."

Ireland are likely to be boosted by the return of Andre Botham, whose accurate medium-pace bowling and middle-order batting have been sorely missed in crushing defeats against New Zealand and Australia.
