I don’t know why we are even talking about the Second round. We all know, luck plays a big part in Twenty20 and there is a decent chance Bangladesh can beat Aus. If they beat Aus by more than 7 runs or chase the target within 19 overs we are OUT. (this is not confirmed)

My point is where was the think tank from the coaching staff? they should have sent the message to the batsmen to try to stay and play full 20 overs to improve their net run rate instead of trying to reach an impossible target in the last 3 overs. This is where I think Waqar failed, a good smart professional coach wouldn’t have missed such a simple concept of net run rate.

You are right that BD can still qualify and Pakistan can still be knocled out but they did play the full 20 overs and there is nothing much they could have done with the final total even if they would have tried to improve their NRR infact some hitting by Misbah and Fawad actually did improve our NRR.
