Bangladesh are currently sixth in the table and three points behind fourth-placed England, meaning a defeat would end their semi-final chances ahead of the final round of games. India, who sit second, can confirm a semi-final place of their own with a win.

“I am not surprised we are still in it.바카라 웹사이트바카라 웹사이트We have two matches and we have to play our best. If we manage to win it will be great but both teams are very strong,” he said.
“India is very strong in this World Cup and it is not going to be easy but we have to play hard and be at 100 per cent in every area.
“Are we going to still be in it? Maybe, maybe not. Let라이브 바카라 see but we have to play better than what we have done so far.
“Every time we have played India, they have mostly been better. The current side is very strong too. But we go to play at our best but you never know. If we reach 100 per cent then you never know.
“In sport, anyone can beat anyone. It will be very hard but we have to be at our best.”
England라이브 바카라 win against India was built on the opening partnership between Jason Roy (66) and Jonny Bairstow (111).
The pair – who put on a tournament-high 160 for the first wicket – found joy from attacking India라이브 바카라 spinners but Mortaza is hesitant to employ a similar tactic.
Instead, he라이브 바카라 hoping his own spin king Shakib Al Hasan – who has delivered two centuries and three fifties with the bat as well as ten wickets with the ball – is the match-winner.
“Shakib has been doing whatever he can do. He has been doing everything in batting, bowling and fielding. For me, he has been the best performer at this World Cup,” he said.
“There is much left and hopefully he can do whatever he has done and finish on a good level.
“We can’t think, just because England did it, we will and get success against their spinners. Our batting has been very good and we will stick to the plan.
“England stuck to their plan, we stuck to ours.”
