Bangladesh will face Pakistan in their last match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup tomorrow in Adelaide. This is a very important match for both teams to keep their semifinal hope alive. Both teams have won two matches and lost two matches till now in the tournament.

Before the match, Bangladesh technical consultant Sridharan Sriram talks about the opportunities of the semifinal and Pakistan match. He believes Bangladesh can beat Pakistan. “We believe we can beat Pakistan but qualifying for the semifinals is not in our hands, unfortunately,” Sriram said.

Recently, Bangladesh and Pakistan faced each other in a tri-series in New Zealand. There, they played two matches and Pakistan won both matches. But Bangladesh showed fighting intent in the last match. “They [Pakistan] are a very good side. We had opportunities in both games that we played against them in New Zealand. So, we are aware of their strengths, and they are aware of our strengths. So, it will be a great contest tomorrow,” Sriram added.

“We’re aware of what challenges Pakistan presently. We played them in New Zealand just recently and we have high respect for that team. So, we got to turn up and be at our best on that day.”

The hopes for the semifinals of Bangladesh and Pakistan are largely dependent on the South Africa-Netherlands and India-Zimbabwe matches.
