Match 4, Group A – Bangladesh v Pakistan
Time – 17:30 GMT, 23:00 IST
May 1, 2010
Venue: Beausejour Stadium, Gros Islet, St Lucia
In match 4 of ICC T20 World Cup, Bangladesh will take on defending champions Pakistan today at Beausejour Stadium. Though Bangladesh are considered minnows but they are still capable of doing an upset as they did in last World cup of 50 overs. Pakistan would never take them for granted and would be looking for an excellent start for the quest to save the title.
Pakistan is depending on his strong batting line up and would wish that this match provides them a momentum in this championship. Afridi in an interview said that missing IPL has actually given them time for some practice and now is the time that they have to deliver. On the other hand, Bangladesh who have lost 10 Twenty20 internationals in a row would wish to get back on the track and again cause a major upset.
