Match Thread: Asia Cup 2012, India vs Pakistan, March 18, 2012 14:00 local time at SBNS, Mirpur

[TigerEz]

Pak all the way

[stuge]

I'm not worried this time .. India is going to beat Pakistan like never before :d

Pakistanis think this is world cup semis ROFL.Even 5 Asia cup matches can't be equivalent to WC semi's

[zsayeed]

We should name these matches with India Pakistan Classicos.

India under pressure in marquee clash

[KnightBD]

I don't remember I supported Pak to WIN against Ind.

Hope Pak wins by a big margin to knock out Ind from the tournament and make our job easier towards the final, inshallah.

Dear Helal bhaiyo, this is a beautiful match thread cover...I love the stained glass BD hosting Asia Cup 2012 and the Robot!!


In this match I take side with the country that Kapil Dev, Mohammad Azharuddin and Syed Kirmani come from!

Scenarios for Inclusion in Final

If India had beaten Bangladesh, their match against Pakistan would have been a preview to the final. Thanks to their inept bowling in the dying stages of their previous match, and some fearless Bangladesh batting, this tournament is still open.

No team has bowed out of the tournament yet, including Sri Lanka, who are yet to open their account.

A) If India and Bangladesh win their remaining games with bonus points, it will leave three teams tied on nine points, meaning the finalists will be decided on net run-rate.

B) If the same two teams win without bonus points, then Bangladesh will go through because they beat India in the head-to-head.

A win, tie, no-result, or even a loss without conceding a bonus point, for Pakistan tomorrow will guarantee them a place in the final.

The big match only a few hours away. For some reason I am really confident of our chances. Inshallah Pakistan wins.

Just checked the weather, it seems Dhaka might be getting some rain early in the morning. Any of you folks in Dhaka? How bad does it look right now.

weather forecast says no rain in dhaka for whole day so should be fine

[Jadukor]

Hard to pick a winner out of these two. India is certainly capable of batting pakistan out of this game. The main battle will be fought between indian middle order vs ajmal and afridi. Who ever wins that battle will probably take the game.

[Leafs PWN]

Hoping Pak gets the bonus point, and beats the living **** out of India.

I'm confident we will not get thrashed by SL. Max 4 wckt loss with 5 ovrs or below 40 runs.

[patriot]

Pakistan will be having the support of whole of genuine Bangladeshi fans for this game . I am more than sure Pakistan can do it . Their batting isnt that great , but given India's Mickey mouse bowlers , Pakistan should easily cross 250 . That should be more than enough to put pressure on India.

[Zeeshan]

Remember what Shakib -al- Hasan himself said: We don't like to depend on others.

[ransr5]

not a pak or india supporter , however for this match will support pak against india.
bc thats give a better stance for bangladesh to qualify for final.
however, at the end bang should make them qualify without depending neither pak or india. rather fight their way through final by beating SL.
so supportn pak but won't feel bad if india wins.


go bengali tigers...

But the thought of indians not being to handle two back to back loses, first from Bangladesh and then from Pakistan, I must say is very pleasing.
But won't be surprised if the pakistanis succumb to the honey trap.
Their final is more or less assured, barring improbables.

agreeddddddd.......

[ransr5]

i hate to see paki's winning the match against india but still supporting paki, lol.

[BANFAN]

Let Pakistan win to keep our chances alive and making the BD-SL match more interesting. I'm sure if India lose today, they will all be looking keenly at that match. What does boycott say about Asia Cup now?? Does anyone care?

[zinatf]

Pakistan...please WIN it for Bangladesh. So that it's easier for us to qualify in the final

[BANFAN]

Pak won toads and batting

[BANFAN]

Don't know if it was a good decision.... that suited india as well.

no its good decision, pakistan isnt good at chasing. Much better at defending
