After navigating through the group stage games in different possible ways, it’s time to get ready for the closing stage of the tournament. The group stage had been quite successful for our community,  which is second in the League of the leagues.

Let’s take a quick look at Bangladesh and India, the teams in the remaining semi-final, following England’s loss to Pakistan yesterday.

Bangladesh

The minnows of world Cricket have reached their first semi finals in an ICC tournament and have played some good Cricket throughout.

Key Players: Shakib AL Hasan(189), Mahmadullah (142), Tamim Iqbal(169),Mushfiqar Rahim(128), M.Hossain(98) and M. Rahman(62).

Differentials: Shabbir Rahman and Mortaza.

India

The defending champions managed to qualify for the playoffs after suffering a shock defeat in the hands of Sri Lanka.

Key Players: Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya and Yuvraj Singh.
Differentials: R. Ashwin and Kedar Jadhav.

And here’s a look at the Pakistan side that one of them will face.

Pakistan

The most unpredictable side have done the unpredictable yet again by qualifying ahead of more fancied sides like South Africa and Australia for the semi-final, and then progressing to the final.

Key Players: Hasan Ali(233), Junaid Khan(146), Sarfaraz Ahmed (141), Azhar Ali(125), Fakhar Zaman(123).

Differentials: Shoaib Malik and Imad Wasim.

Dreams Can captain goalkeepers at will.

    Pakistan vs India in the final ... How lovely 😀

    We'll probably get spanked, but atmosphere will be rocking!

    Smallest of greens despite scoring 350+ points above average. Only had the popular choices so kind of expected. I've got a sneaky feeling IND will be heavily backed by most so going down that route won't make much difference on OR.

    Kohli (C) - Jadhav - Babar - Malik - Fakhar
    Sarfraz
    Jadeja - Yuvraj - Hafeez
    Hasan - Junaid

    So I'm hoping IND openers for once get cleaned up early on, then the middle order scoring the runs. 7 PAK probably a bit overkill but finding any IND differentials is hard. Thoughts?

      I guess ignoring Kolhi and captaining someone else is the ultimate differential but I think we all know he is nailed on to score most and win MOTM.

      Either want Pak to win or lose by miles. Sounds strange but having a small to big chance to win and then losing hurts even more.

      Can we skip the game and let Kohli lift the cup already?

      Babar not exactly killing his doubters here. Really slowing the big score down.

      Don't understand the selection of Ashwin, Kohli said before first game that he didn't play Ashwin against Pakistan coz they play spin well.
