Just before the battle at the field, the fight with the words have started between players of Pakistan and Bangladesh as Wahab Riaz and Shakib Al Hasan shared their attitude for the game. The clash of ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 will see both the teams playing last group match today at Lord’s in London. With a highly unlikely victory benchmark for Sarfaraz led-side over Bangladesh, the match has become one of the most exciting matches of the group stage. Pakistan vs Bangladesh Cricket Score 43th ODI Match. 

As winning by over 300 runs looks too impossible for the Asian neighbour Pakistan, they aim to keep their winning momentum on in the tournament with the victory over Bangladesh today. This was clearly mentioned by senior player Wahab Riaz, who was quoted by ICC as saying, “We have played good cricket in the last three games and we hope to keep that momentum going." Ahead of Pakistan vs Bangladesh CWC 2019 Tie, Players of Both Teams Sweat Under The Sun at Lord's in London (View Pics). 

Words in action!

After their loss to India in CWC 2019, Pakistan went on a winning streak, winning three back-to-back matches against South Africa, Afghanistan and New Zealand. On the other hand, Bangladesh’s Shakib Al-Hasan is perceiving this match like every other game of the tournament. "For me, there's no difference between the first and last ODIs of the tournament," the all-rounder told ICC. This clearly reveals that the Bengal Tigers are not feared of the Pak’s rising form in the tournament, and are equally confident to defeat their Asian rival, whom they defeated in previous four ODI encounters.

The criteria of semis qualification of World Cup 2019 is out of reach for the champions of 1992 World Cup. Pakistan, with NRR of -0.972 at present, will have to bat first and defeat Mashrafe Mortaza led-side by 311 runs after scoring 350 in the match, a result which looks highly impossible.  If Mortaza wins the toss and elects to bat first, Pakistan will be out of semis race even before the start of the match. The match will be played at Lord’s and start from 3 PM IST.
