ICC World Twenty20 Cricket: Bangladesh face Pakistan today

Bangladesh Cricket team will face reigning champions Pakistan Cricket team today in their first Group A match of the World Twenty20 Cricket at the Saint Lucia in West Indies. The Twenty20 Cricket match starts at 11.30 PM BST (Bangladesh Standard Time).

The other team of the Group A is mighty Australia.

Before taking part in the World Twenty20 Cricket against Pakistan, Bangladesh played two Twenty20 warm-up matches in the Caribbean Islands.

Bangladesh beat Barbados by 36 runs in the first Twenty20 warm-up match on May 27.

Later, Bangladesh lost to England by seven wickets in the last Twenty20 warm-up match on May 28.

On the other hand, defending champions Pakistan tasted a 12-run defeat in their last Twenty20 warm-up match against Zimbabwe.

Before leaving the country to take part in the third edition of the World Twenty20 Cricket, skipper of Bangladesh team Shakib Al Hasan said they had been passing good time over the last six months and their preparation for the World Twenty20 Cricket was satisfactory.

Shakib added that they would focus on winning the first Group A match against Pakistan.

It is mentionable that Twenty20 match is anybody's game.

So the cricket lovers of the country hope their team will earn a win against Pakistan.

[SSGPA1]

I have been saying that NZL is the team to watch out for. What a game!!

 

[Awesome]

Bohot aala yaar... SL was dominating the entire game, just how quickly things turned.

But man look at the calculation on the part of vettori.

He wanted to give N. Mcullum the strike so he ran to the other side fully knowing he'd be run out. His calculation was spot on. I think amongst the captains hes the smartest one out there these days. Does his calculations and does them quickly.
