if we are to win, this must be the XI

[al Furqaan]

in order to beat either India or SL, we have to exploit the power plays. so i feel that TI should play both matches against the big boys. his total runs scored may very well be less than what JO or rajin would provide, but he won't waste any balls (not a significant number anyways).

here is what our team should look like:

1 SN - he will be our Wall
2 TI - if he even hits 20 runs, we will be off to a flier and might rattle some bowlers too
3 Aftab - same role as TI
4 Saqib - the middle overs consolidator
5 Bashar - same as Saqib
6 Ash - same as Saqib and Bashar + end of innings slogger
7 Mortaza - slogger, should score big against india and SL
8 Rafique
9 Razzak
10 Rajib - depending on how he does against India, Rasel may/should come in for SL
11 Mushy - should be batting at 7, or wherever team management thinks is best

12th man - Rasel - tapash is proving to be a goner.
