Pakistan take on Bangladesh in their last group game of the ICC World Cup 2019 at Lord’s in Birmingham. Pakistan sit on fifth position on the points table with nine from eighth games and are virtually out of the race for a place in the final four. Bangladesh who sit on seventh, have been eliminated from the tournament. Two changes in the Bangladesh Playing XI for the clash against Pakistan at Lord’s.Mahmudullah and Mehidy Hasan Miraz come in the side replacing Sabbir Rahman and Rubel Hossain.#CWC19 #RiseOfTheTigers #BANvPAK #KhelbeTigerJitbeTiger pic.twitter.com/oUR4xcFu0n — Bangladesh Cricket (@BCBtigers) July 5, 2019 Pakistan won the toss and opted to bat first against Bangladesh. Pakistan is fielding an unchanged side, while Bangladesh brings in Mahmudullah and Mehidy Hasan in place of Sabbir Rahman and Rubel Hossain. Pakistan is not technically out of the Cricket World Cup, but they need a mathematical miracle against already eliminated Bangladesh to extend their stay at the tournament. Pakistan has won the toss to bat first – as they would not have been able to win if they had been put into bowl due the run rate calculations. “Obviously it’s a hard time for the team, but we want to finish on a good note” Wahab Riaz admits that the game against Bangladesh is a dead rubber but assures Pakistan will do all they can to entertain the crowd in #CWC19 today! pic.twitter.com/5ZIBe59UmR — Cricket World Cup (@cricketworldcup) July 5, 2019 They will still need to beat the world record ODI cricket win (290 runs) to go through to the World Cup semi-final. The full permutations are as follows: If Pakistan score 350, they must win by 311 runs. If Pakistan score 400, they must win by 316 runs. If Pakistan score 450, they must win by 321 runs. The good news is Pakistan has only lost five matches in 36 to the Tigers in One-Day Internationals. The bad news is the five games they lost against Bangladesh were the last five they’ve played. Last time the two sides met at a tournament, Pakistan were beaten by 37 runs in the Asia Cup last year, with the Bangladeshis progressing to the final against India.
