Shakib Al Hasan is the new batsman in for Bangladesh. He has been top-performer for Bangladesh and will be looking to add for another impressive performance in his bag.
OUT! Mohammad Amir strikes. Soumya Sarkar hits it straight to Fakhar Zaman at cover-point. Superb catch by Fakhar there. Soumya Sarkar c Fakhar Zaman b Amir 22(22)
Mohammad Amir is bowling good and will be gutted by the drop catch off his bowling. Meanwhile, Bangladesh eye positive start here. So far, looks good for them.
Soumya Sarkar gets a life as Haris drops him at first slip. And meanwhile, Pakistan are officially out of World Cup 2019. New Zealand qualify as the fourth team.
So, that is the end of Pakistan innings. The Green Shirts end with 315 on board. A good effort in the end but not that good to help them qualify for the semi-finals. Imad Wasim scored 43 off 26 balls to hand Pakistan a much-needed impetus.
Had New Zealand defeated England in the previous match they met, this Pakistan vs Bangladesh would have been mighty important. England’s victory meant that the hosts qualify for semis and make Pakistan’s road to last four mighty unrealistic. New Zealand, however, were benefited even from defeat. Pakistan’s chances to qualify needs a miracle. Pakistan vs Bangladesh Cricket Score 43rd ODI Match in ICC Cricket World Cup, 2019.
Pakistan needs to beat Bangladesh by over a margin of 300 runs to qualify for the last four. And in case, Bangladesh bat first, Pakistan’s chances of beating New Zealand on Net Run RateNet Run Rate will vanish and that moment they will be eliminated from the World Cup.
This could well be the last World Cup outing for players like Mashrafe Mortaza and Mohammad Hafeez. Meanwhile, this is the second World Cup meeting between the two sides. Interestingly, Bangladesh emerged victorious in the last World Cup meeting between these two in 1999.
