As Pakistan enters the Shere Bangla stadium to pay their second game in the Asia up there is a lot of things they should keep in mind. Though it is said that one should not over think on little things too much before the game, but in Pakistan’s case, these little things are no longer little.
Pakistan will have to win their remaining three games including this one against UAE. Any defeat would make them fewer favorites for the finals. Bangladesh has won their important game against Sri Lanka last night and this has put them on the second spot on the table.
Pakistan have three games left, this one against UAE then Bangladesh and Sri Lanka and if they won all three then they will get to 6 points and they chances to make it to the final becomes strong. However Bangladesh has played well in their first 3 games and they are favorites for the finals with India.
Pakistan will face pressure. It is good for them that after India they are playing against a less tough team. UAE has not performed well in the cup so far and hence Pakistan has a chance here. A win in this one will give them a lot of confidence.
Shahid Afridi and his men will have to bat with reasoning and self-belief. They did not do well in the first game and performed underrated. They will have to bat with confidence no matter they bat first or bowl. It will be Pakistan bowling that can bring a change.
Taking a look at the way Amir bowled today, it looks unreal. In a T20 game, he has finished up wit figures of 4-1-6-2. Amir was as qualitative as always. He swung the ball both ways and he was right on the money each time he bowled. Amir was hit for a boundary as well so this makes this spell even more special.
