On pen and paper, our team is has less experience... so we are the underdogs here. There is nothing to be ashamed of a loss as long as we fight till the very end.

[Imtiazk]

I am slightly concerned about the 4th and 5th bowler slots. I hope the Management are keeping options open for Riyad [ if he is playing ] or Nadif [ in case he plays ] and, even Aftab or Alok. I do not know the size of the ground but Ashraful and Reza could come in for some major league hammering.

Having said that, anyone could.

By the way, I do support Ashraful bowling otherwise. It adds a dimension to our bowling [ even sporadically ] which in Bashar and Dav's formulaic times was totally ignored. He is a reasonable bowler and can only get better with real time practice. After all, in tests, he will have many opportunities with scores at 450/3.

Pakistan looks like had a great form against lowly rated Uganda. Let's see what happens today. Our biggest problem is lack of confidence. BD Army gave them the booster dose this time. I am hopefull they will give them a good fight. In 20/20 matches the outcome is either win or loose. I am hoping win will be ours this time. I will get up at 4 am tomorrow with this hope. I know you all are with me. So, is God.

[Ehsan]

Will be a good contest. But looking at Pak's recent form, will be tough match for BD. Good luck tigers.

[One World]

For some strange reason I feel like that BD is going to win.

[Rommel]

Some short term goals:
1. If batting first, lose less than 3 wickets by the end of the first 10 overs. If bowling first, try to get 4 or more wickets by the first 10 overs.
2. When batting, try to get a good steady opening partnership going. Dot balls are okay in the beginning.
3. Fielders cannot drop ANY catches.
4. When Afridi is batting, let him have the singles but try to limit the boundaries.

Looking at the Pakistan team from yesterday, they are a formidable side who seem a touch too good for Bangladesh right now. But it is 20/20, and we are playing against the very unpredictable Pakistan side who can screw up at any moment. So keep your hopes up ladies and gentlemen.....just not too up....

[bobistuta]

Have been waiting for this match for some time. Best of luck tigers!

People are too lazy.

7:00 am EST Time. This time actually should have been provided by the thread starter, as that has always been the tradition here in BanglaCricket. I urge anyone who opens a thread to provide atleast BDT and EST time along with the GMT. So, I guess laziness was just not the only factor.

What about PST? That way you will cover the highly populated Bangladeshi community in the USA- NY and Los Angeles. I envy you New Yorkers, I have to get up at 4 in the morning.
