It’s do-or-die for Pakistan

Kolkata, Oct 30: All but out of semifinal race, Pakistan would be desperate to snap their four-match losing streak and add some semblance of respect to their floundering campaign when they take on an equally struggling Bangladesh in their do-or-die World Cup match here on Tuesday.
Pakistan have just four points in their kitty and they can add a maximum of six more to touch 10 by the end of league stage.
Three teams are already above Pakistan and it would be a miracle of sorts if they make it to the knockout stage. The multiple favourable results are highly unlikely given the fact that Australia have regained their form and New Zealand have also emerged as one of the toughest sides to beat in this tournament.
A defeat against Bangladesh will certainly knock the 1992 champions out of the showpiece. (PTI)
