Welcome to Dawn.com's live coverage. The equation is pretty simple for Pakistan: win two matches and secure a semi-finals berth. Pakistan captain Mohammad Hafeez said he is pleased archrival India has secured a semifinal berth at the World Twenty20 because it gives other teams a clear scenario of what's needed to join them in the next stage. "There's no chance of making any mistakes and we're ready for that," Hafeez said. "Our guys showed great character in the last game and we've really trained hard over the last six days and worked on our weaknesses. I feel the building up for the crucial stage of the tournament has gone off very well." For hosts Bangladesh, who have lost both matches so far, they will still believe they can make a mark in the tournament.
