Crucial day for subcontinent teams

Its a crucial day at the worldcup for all the teams from subcontinent- Bangladesh,India, Pakistan and Srilanka.

After loosing to Ireland, Pakistan need a win against Zimbabwe to salvage some pride. Pakistan team has taken heavy blows both on and off the field. Captain Inzamam has already announced his retirement from LOI, the team will certainly miss its coach Bob Woolmer and the loss against Ireland is bound to haunt them for a while.

In another crucial game between Srilanka and Bangladesh, keen watcher of the game would be Indian team and Indian fans. A win for Bangladesh against Srilanka would book their tickets for the next round, which means the next game between India and Srilanka will be a do or die for both India and Srilanka. A win for Srilanka today and a loss against India on 23rd march would bring in net run rate into picture making the equation complex for both India and Srilanka. Such a scenario will provide a ready made target for Bangladesh when they play the last game of group B against Bermuda.

On one hand Pakistan is down and out, on the other hand 3 teams battle it out for 2 places in a bid to keeps their world cup hopes alive. Certainly an interesting day for the cricket fans at the world cup.
