They won, their match 8 was their last league match and was against an unbeaten NZ

 

[NUFAN]

Ok cool, so they win against Afghanistan a team searching for their first win.

Smali, who is this tournaments Imran?

Sarfaraz definitely doesn't look the part

This tournament's Imran might be Kohli, or Finch

 

[aussie tragic]

Regardless of any other result, a win to Pakistan here puts them 4th on the table knocking England out of top 4 (albeit with Eng having a game in hand)

Mashrafe Mortaza is playing his last World Cup as a captain. He is a pace bowler whose pace has dropped significantly compared to his peak. They are in a situation where they need to win all the remaining matches to win the World Cup. Nobody is giving them a chance to win the cup etc etc...

Not technically. They could qualify for the semi with just one more win.

Ok. Here is one more - the young left-arm pacer in his team has not had the best of tournaments so far but the captain is backing him.

And that win should come against Pakistan.

Mashrafe to bat #3 in the next game.

 

[Daemon]

Haha Mash is a politician as well

 

[weldone]

Ok here is another similarity with Pakistan 1992 - Bangladesh cricket team symbol is tiger.

 

[Borges]

I suppose the whole thing is going to be decided on points; with better weather the net run rate has become quite irrelevant now.
Pakistan should concentrate on doing just enough to win this game, without taking unnecessary risks.

No he must wait till the semis

 

[aussie tragic]

Can't wait to see a Pak win that drops England out of top 4

So Sabbir Rahman to strike a 37 ball 60 in semis before being run out by a superb throw from Maxwell in the covers.

Finch after scoring a glorious 90 watches helplessly from the dressing room.

 

[nightprowler10]

Fully expect Pakistan to win this, beat Bangladesh, but miss out on semis because they lost big to Afghanistan.

Just FYI

 

[smash84]

Pakistan chasing any total does make me nervous
