Pakistan vs Bangladesh final

I wanted a Pakistan vs India final as well as a lot of other Pakistani fans but it just wasn't to be, we done our bit to get to the final so we should forget the past and focus on the final because it will be very tough as Bangladesh are looking dangerous, their beat New Zealand 4-0 in a ODI series, beat India and Sri Lanka in the previous match. The Bangladeshi players are finally coming off age, it will be a tough match by all means as the whole crowd will be behind Bangladesh but if we can put a good game then we can win it but will be a tight match though I reckon. We should look to bowl first, I know it's our weakness to chase but however, Bangladesh seem better at chasing as their chased scores against Sri Lanka and India so therefore, if we can bowl, cut them down to a low total which we can chase. However, if we do bat first then we will need to set a big score as Bangldesh look dangerous in the batting department, especially Shakib and Tamim Iqbal.

What should be team for the final?

Wahab Riaz, needs a run off games which we should give him in a series, maybe a test series so that he can build confidence then take it to the ODI'S and T20. I would drop him to bring back Sarfraz Ahmed simply because his the best wicket keeper we have in the squad, Umer looked rusty in the previous match. We should also have more faith in Hammad Azam by giving him the ball more to bowl.

1. Mohammad Hafeez
2. Nasir Jamshed
3. Younis Khan
4. Umer Akmal
5. Misbah-Ul-Haq (C)
6. Shahid Afridi
7. Hammad Azam
8. Sarfraz Ahmed (WK)
9. Umer Gul
10. Saeed Ajmal
11. Aizaz Cheema.

It will most definietly be a close game, whoever bats first will need to set a challenging total (260-280+). I am a Pakistan fan and by no means we have won this yet as Bangldesh have been looking lethal, so all Pakistan fans please humble yourselves and stop celebrating the asia cup win already.

Good Luck to both teams. I hope Pakistan wins. PAKISTAN ZINDABAD!

On a serious note (and to save me the trouble of google)...........what is the highest Pakistan has ever got since the rankings kicked off....

Sorry, have not been following rankings that closely.But they were the toughest competitor to Westindies during 86-91 ,that is under Imran's leardership.
