Bangladesh must win this!

[kkmix]

It will be a blessing in disguise for Pakistan. All is not well in the team right now with selection of the team. Less deserving players are getting picked over and over again. But their failures are overshadowed by the wins. I think this loss will serve the purpose of putting the team selection right, which is much needed because we are about to face one the toughest teams.

[violet_may]

Bangladesh won't win because our bowling will do the job.

I agree about the team selection issues though. Maybe this series was a way to weed out the less deserving players by giving them all the possible chances, so dey no complain later to the authorities ? *optimism*

I can see your logic no matter how much it hurts to see Pak lose - however, a loss would be glossed over with some bs and excuses - expect no change as higher corrupt forces will no doubt continue to choke this blossoming team with weeds like malik, farhat, tanvir, kami etc

[Ashraful_Rox]

Nah don't think Bangladesh will win it. Notable match winner is missing. 50 all out. You heard from me first

[abdulhafeez306]

I think if Bangladesh make an attempt to win the game they can win it.

can't remember the last time Ashraful scored. So really if he was playing you could hardly bank on him winning the match for Bangladesh.

Reckon Mahmudullah and possibly Shakib will do well on this pitch.

how has Pakistan losing a match ever been a blessing in disguise?

Haha. Bangladesh should pretend that Pakistan has scored 250+ and then aim for a respectable loss. This would allow them to accumulate somewhere in the 180-200 region which would mean victory for the Bangladeshis.

[liaqat]

definitely times time for shoaib malik to go and maybe even sohail tanveer,

middle order and the tail just folder to easily,

I agree entirely, it would ONLY be a "blessing" if we actually learn from losing - we all know there's no chance of that!!!

[akamaka]

Bangladesh have got this in the bag.

[IAJ]

Whenever Pakistan play, you pray for win, nothing else!

Besides nothing will change even if Pakistan lose to Bangladesh! And to make it even worse Pakistan have already won the series so they won't take any actions even if they lose a dead rubber.

So Pakistan will win InshaAllah! You can try to achieve your goal through other means if possible.

[Poison]

It's a fun dead rubber

I don't think the selection problems are that bad ... Malik has just been getting an extended run against a weak team to see if he's still up to it ... same with Tanvir.

[Ahson Afzal]

Hope we win by 2 runs or something like that then it will still be an eyeopener and we can celebrate a win

[AmmarAshraf]

And M Ilyas will select his son in law because he is not playing this match.

[JibranAnsari]

and pakistan will be down to 6 again?

[Areesh]

Pathetic play by Pakistan and BD deserve to win this. If they can....

[Desi_Joker]

No... Pakistan must still win, but make sure that the win doesn't cover up another pathetic display with the bat by Pakistan.

Some changes need to be ringed in the team in general, and in the batting order in particular.
