Bangladesh needs a series played in Aus/NZ to acclimatize themselves in ODI WC. I saw what happened to India a few month back and BCB probably won't like it to be repeated for Bangladesh. Just before WC, England/AUS/India will play in a triangular ODI series in Australia. NZ will host SL. I believe SA will be familiar to the conditions in Aus and they will play WI in SA. So, everyone are eyeing WC 2015 except Bangladesh and Zimbabwe. How about converting the SL-NZ series to a triangular series involving BD?
Scotland-Bangladesh played in Nelson, NZ. This is a new venue and it helps swing bowlers early on. BD should field first if they win toss. Scots should be familiar with NZ conditions as they played well to qualify and the qualifier was held in NZ. Only match played at this venue :

Bangladesh-Afghanistan played in Manuka Oval, Canberra. This is a flat batting pitch and helps seam bowlers who can exploit extra bounce. This is the first match of Bangladesh and they would need a good start. This one Bangladesh should win fairly easily (my guess). Afghan batsmen will be vulnerable against pacers ... Example match :

Matches against SL and Eng - played in MCG and Adelaide Oval.

Mostly seaming wicket with extra bounce. Good for seam bowling, bad for spinners.
Adelaide Oval is considered very good for batting and generally good for subcontinent teams, but recently is becoming another seam-friendly wicket. If Bangladesh needs a win against an upper ranked team - I believe this is the match. England is a bit lower in confidence and the pitch is more like SC.

The other two matches against the hosts won't be easy. So, I am keeping them out.
