I would like to see BD beat SA, regardless of what happens in ENG vs WI game. Being 3rd or 2nd in the group would greatly help us in QF (and even later on). 4th place might be really bad...

as long as we are not facing Srilanka we have home ground advantage going to QF. Finishing 3rd most probably have to play Srilanka.

Au contraire. We haven't done much choking at all - we have won many close games recently where the team pulled deep and came through. The WI thing has nothing to do with choking - that was swallowing a whole bottle of Vicodin.

Yes, in our cricket history we have very few choking loss compared to joking loss. I vaguely remember just one match where we had Taposh leaking runs that cost us the game.

Hmm, face Australia at home, or face Sri Lanka in India... tough call, considering we were bowled out for 58 last time on our home ground...

Now that IRE is out of the way, we have WI, BD and Eng fighting for the last 2 positions.
With the ceiling high NRR that WI has, we have no chance competing against them with 6 points (if they lose both the games). Either they win against Eng or we beat SA.
So, basically, it is a race between us and Eng for the QF.

Srilanka will play at their home ground. I wouldn't even prefer to play on moon surface instead of Mirpur. Thats our only chance to go to semi by playing into slow and low pitch in home ground. Australian fiery pace attack will be least effective in our condition and they virtually dont have spin attck.
I can see the light.

We should send more flowers and gifts to WI players as a token of appreciation if they beat Eng..

WI lose to England
WI lose to India
Bangladesh win against SA
Bangladesh and England go to QF
i would say its still 3 way fight.
and if something very bad doesnt happen India should go though.

Cool, so that's step 1. Hoping for an English loss now.

Glad that Ireland has been knocked out. Porterfield talks too big for his own good.
Still, I must say that Ireland is a good team and ICC should see that they develop more and play against stronger teams.
