It is still early days at this world cup and we passed the phase when only few players are assigned as light strikers and act like jetty for the team as in this world we can see that teams are adopting the old strategies of keeping the wicket in hands and are intrigued to score at the end of the innings. This strategy has definitely become the pattern for Pakistan in this world cup.

The first match of quarterfinals is between Pakistan and West Indies at Sher-e-Bangla Cricket Stadium located in Mirpur near Dhaka.

Pitch Report-
A good pitch for spinners as the wicket will stay low and spinners could take the advantage of this. The pitch is dark in colour with few big cracks on it.

Possibilities—
Now in their do-or-die match both the teams will try to hid their worries behind the air of insouciance and give their best shots to reach the semi-finals.

For West Indies they not need hunk all rounder’s but hoon batsmen who are able grasp the condition and then play according to it and these batsmen should built a strategy to play on these Subcontinent Pitches and get used these spinning pitches.

As for the Pakistan who had rubber stamp their place in quarterfinals beating Australia would make a tough competition for West Indies with their superfast bowlers as they have thrived many times in the helping conditions. The opening pair of Umar gul and Abdul Razzaq can make West Indies bowlers hooligan for wickets. Pakistan with its openers and middle order batsmen can build a good score to challenge West Indies in the quarterfinals.

On the other hand West Indies with lost in its confidence have big work load ahead in this game at knockout stage. Chris Gayle and K. Pollarad need to build a challenging total for Pakistani’s to chase down or achieve the target.

At the end no matters who win a loose cricket fans for confirm will get to see a competitive match.
