Pakistan win the toss and decide to bat 1st.
2 changes for Bangladesh with Imrul Kayes coming in for Naeem Islam and Elias Sunny replacing Farhad Reza. 1 change for Pakistan with Sohail Tanvir coming in for Aizaz Cheema.
Imrul Kayes & Tamim Iqbal have forged a good opening partnership for Bangladesh in the past. With Imrul playing a patient, watchful innings and allowing Tamim to go with his attacking instincts. In my eyes a good change as Naeem wasn't great as an opener. However, I would not have dropped him totally, he could have played better coming in at number 6 or 7 and is always handy with the ball. Elias Sunny for Farhad Reza also a good change. Didnt understand why Farhad Reza was even in the team for the last match. Never seen anything from him to suggest he could mix it in world cricket! Have seen little of Elias Sunny, but have heard good things. Looking forward to seeing him play today.

. To be fair to the beast, he was rotating strike well. 250 minimum from here.

Afridi has probably just won Pakistan the match with his knock of 42 off 27 balls! Umar Akmal also played a great half-century better than a run a ball.
Pakistan 262/7 off their 50 overs
Tough ask for Bangladesh! Gonna need a good start from Tamim & Imrul.

This is why we always lose!! Go out to unnecessary shots. Dont play with their heads! We only require 5.5 an over and hes gone after a ball like that!!

Like I said... Bangladesh could do well to learn from how Pakistan rebuilt their innings after losing an early wicket. No need to go mad, pick up singles on offer and keep wickets in hand. Bat the 50 overs and give yourselves half a chance!

English will be biting their nail.This is the most potent spin attack ever and Pakistani bowlers will make them dance in the desert.
