Rawalpindi: Two teams – Pakistan and Bangladesh – There is no big stake in the ongoing Champions Trophy, today (Thursday) will be waiting for their first win at Pindi Stadium.
In addition to facing each other, the two teams will have a weather situation as the forecast is another rain day. After a full washout on Tuesday, where both South Africa and Australia got one point, there are fears that there may be another wet day on Thursday and around Rawalpindi and its surroundings.
Pakistan and Bangladesh have played two and have lost two, which has hardly given any impression on Group A – New Zealand and India’s strong teams. Thursday’s match for Pakistan will be played more to save some pride, which was run twice against New Zealand and India twice.
More importantly, these defeats were not the ones where the green shirts were seen in all departments. The fact of the matter is that the Pakistan team has not yet revealed its original substance as neither bowling nor batting has any effect. Bangladesh, on the other hand, was seen having some impact against India, especially in India, where they remained in the game for the closing over.
Even if the rainfall is far away, the two teams will be seen only regularly complete with a win or defeat, which has no effect on the group A standing. Unlike Group B, where the race for space in the knockout stage is underway, all of this has happened and Group A has dust where New Zealand and India marched in Sammy with two consecutive wins.
Pakistan team head coach Aqib Javed defended the team’s selection during a media talk a day before the match. It was the best possible squad for the Champions Trophy. Like every other cricket fan of Pakistan, the entire team is worried about the start out of the Champions Trophy. If you can’t play your best abilities, you will be the first guy to feel sad. Every member of the team is worried about the loss.
The AA Cab called the team’s inexperience the main reason for the defeat. “Comparatively, the Pakistan team lacks experience and exhibition and it proved to be a faulty show.” On the eve of the match against Bangladesh on Thursday, AA Cab said that every team that participated in the Champions Trophy is a problem.
“We cannot take the match against Bangladesh lightly,” he said. We have to play our best cricket to defeat Bangladesh. We are worth it. If the rain is far away, we will make every effort to put points on the board. “Bangladesh senior assistant coach Saladuddin demanded his top order players to perform well against Pakistan.
“We are fully focusing on the Pakistan match. Our upper and middle order is not getting runs. If the match goes ahead, they need to click on Thursday. If we are able to score a good tomorrow, we can put pressure on Pakistan.
Saludan was excited about the possibility of bowling. “Our new ball bowlers are good and we are confident that we can put pressure on Pakistan’s top order batsmen. However, it all depends on our upper and middle order to score runs.
He acknowledged not to play on the required standards in the Champions Trophy. “We are eligible to play better cricket. But once we go back to Bangladesh, we will discuss the performance of the Champions Trophy. At present we are fully focusing on the Pakistan match which is very important to us.
