Alfaaz – The Words Exclusive

Srinagar: Pakistan Cricket team which is unlikely to make it to Semis’ is nonetheless expected to make three changes in its final XI against Bangladesh.

The match is being played at Eden Gardens Kolkata and scheduled to start at 2:00 PM (Toss at 1:30 PM).

The expected changes by Green Shirts include; Fakhar Zaman, Usama Mir and Salman Agha. The players likely to be rested include Imam-ul-Haq, Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz.

While Pakistan has currently 4 points, it can have a maximum of 10 points.

Pakistan need at least two wins from their final three games, but that requires Australia and New Zealand to lose their remaining matches and them to improve their net run-rate.

The Green Shirts would realistically need others to implode and a specific combination of results.

On the other hand, Bangladesh currently has 2 points while it can have a maximum of 8 points.

To reach the semi-finals Bangladesh need three wins from their remaining three matches while significantly improving their net run-rate and hoping for a freakish set of results elsewhere.
