Bangladesh will sail into the Champions Trophy Cricket semifinals if they can beat New Zealand today and should Australia lose to hosts England tomorrow. The Bangladeshi players must think that the Kwiss are not invincible and they have no record of winning the trophy. What the team management from Asia consider that players selection must be neutral, while captain Mashrafee must be independent to take decision on the pitch.
But if both the matches are marred by rains, Australia will cruise into the last four as group runners-up and that will be a new history that a team without playing a full match has moved into the semifinals.
But what we think that Bangladesh must give stress on playing the best. In 2002 Asian Games basketball final, South Korea upset China. A reporter asked them how did they make it possible? A player said, “We wanted to play the best and did it without thinking of result.”
