Pakistan team and media are too busy boosting up the ind-pak thriller. But they should more concentrate on what comes tomorrow...

May the best team win. Expecting this game very entertaining and joyful. But as a bengali I wish BD to win. Most of the bengalis in West Bengal both muslims and hindus have soft corner for BD. Best wishes to the both sides.

I think Pakistan can go in the match with 4 spinners, Imad , Nawaz ,Shoib Malik and afridi.....two pacers in Irfan and aamir....sarfraz, hafeez, akmal, sharjeel, shazad....with batting line upto 9 and six bowlers......But all depends on the pitch conditions as the ball is already spinning in WC.....will be a good balanced team selection....it is tie between Nawaz and Wahab will depend on condition of pitch....Bangladesh can also pitch four spinners in Arafat sunny, Shakib, Nasir and Muhammad Ullah.....It seems to be a 50-50 contest
