only chance Bd has to upset Ind is if they can capitalise on their thin middle innings bowling. Khan and Munaf is a good opening ball attack. But they dont have much after that. Bd should ideally target to lose atmost 1 wicket by the end of 15 overs. having a strong middle order they can keep piling on after that. But they MUST NOT lose more wickets in the opening overs.if we can score enough runs, we can put them under pressure, besides it is the opening match , so nerves will be there.
But Bd probably has slightly more chance of upsetting Sl than Ind. if it becomes a do or die contest between Bd and Sl to get to next round, I think they will be nervous. And somehow Mr. Ash has his eid day (and tamim, aftab etc) we can very well send Srilanka packing.
