I'm not putting Bermuda down in any way, but realistically speaking, they are the weaker team compared to Bangladesh. However, India's last hope of getting into the Super Eights is if Bangladesh lose. It doesn't seem possible, but can Bermuda pull it off?

they do have the skill but B'desh have better skill.
its gonna b interesting but i hope that B'desh win. it would do them a world of good if they go to the super 8. they would then have the confidence that they can win matches.

I dont think Bermuda can win against Bangladesh tomorrow. And if they win by chance then India surely qualify for super 8. Let's hope for the best. But India had a very good chance yesterday if they had defeated sri lanka, when they themselves didn't do anything to get into super 8 then how we can depend on other countries and hope Bermuda should win and India will get a chance ? Shame on India, they got so many great players who are holding good records and couldn't chase a total of 254

sorry, but there is no chance that Bermuda will beat Bangladesh. Ireland beat Pakistan becuse of the Irish swing bowling attack and Bermuda's only threat with the ball is Dwane Leverock who is a spinner. the Bangladesh batsmen bat also well against spin, their bad against extreme pace and Bermuda don't have any of that.

Practically speaking, the chances are very less. But anything can happen in cricket. You never know.

I think your question does carry some meat in the context of the way things are going till date.
Accident can happen with the best of the top-teams in crickets, even unlike that much we can see in football.
We have seen Pakistan booted out of the WC and India is about to be on their way home (provided accident does not happen tomorrow, like BD gets defeated by Bermuda).
However, all the parameters indicate that Bangladesh would get berth in the Super-8 safely and Indians may get early vacation (lol).
Good Luck Bangladesh!

Bangladesh in Super Eights, AFP
Bangladesh made history when they qualified for the ICC Cricket World Cup second round with a seven-wicket victory over debutants Bermuda on Sunday and eliminated India in the process.
It was Bangladesh's best-ever performance in the tournament since making their Cup debut in England in 1999. They failed to go beyond the first round in England and then again in the next edition in 2003 in South Africa.
Bangladesh's second win in the four-team Group B also knocked former champions India out of the tournament. Sri Lanka have already advanced to the Super Eights with an all-win record.
India had already finished their group campaign with one win and two defeats and their slim hopes rested on an unlikely Bermudian win. The Cup debutants lost of their three matches.
Bangladesh had to face many anxious moments chasing a rain-revised target of 96 in the 21-overs-a-side game before entering the next round.
They survived a three-wicket burst from new-ball bowler Saleem Mukuddem before man-of-the-match Mohammad Ashraful (29 not out) and teenager Saqibul Hasan (26 not out) completed the job in semi-darkness at the Queen's Park Oval.
"We were a little bit nervous chasing the target as it was a very important match for us. Then, Ashraful and Saqibul batted very well," said Bangladesh skipper Habibul Bashar.
"I am delighted as the boys showed a positive approach. I hope we continue to perform in the next round. We have been playing good cricket in the tournament. The win has given us confidence to do well in the Super Eights."
Ashraful admitted it had been a challenging run chase.
"It was very difficult to bat as the ball was moving around a lot," said Ashraful.
"But I knew that if I stayed at the wicket and could score 30 runs that we would win."
Mukuddem grabbed three wickets in his lively opening spell to send Bangladesh reeling at 37-3 in the pressure game, but he lacked support from the other end.
Saqibul sparked celebrations in the Bangladeshi camp when he lofted left-arm spinner Dwayne Leverock over mid-on for the winning four. He put on 59 for the unfinished fourth-wicket stand with Ashraful.
Left-arm spinner Abdur Razzak earlier bagged three wickets to raise Bangladesh's hopes of posting a crucial win. He finished with 3-20 to help his team restrict Bermuda to a modest total.
Fast bowler Mashrafe Mortaza and left-arm spinner Saqibul each took two wickets to provide valuable support.
Dean Minors top-scored for Bermuda with 23. Opener Oliver Pitcher made 22 and Lionel Cann smashed 16 off just six balls with one six and two fours. Pitcher was later stretchered off the field while attempting to take a catch.
Bashar won a good toss in overcast conditions and had no hesitation in putting Bermuda in to bat. The move clicked as Mortaza grabbed two early wickets to put the opposition in a spot.
Mortaza struck in his opening over when he had Stephen Outerbridge caught by Mohammad Rafique at fine-leg before accounting for Delyone Borden, who was held by Bashar at mid-off.
Bermuda suffered a big setback when they lost David Hemp (naught), the only professional in their ranks. Hemp, who cracked a half-century against India, was caught at Aftab Ahmed at point off left-arm seamer Syed Rasel.
The debutants were reduced to 35-4 in the 11th over when Razzak trapped skipper Irvine Romaine leg-before for 11.
