In the practice match Bangladesh Cricket Board eleven has won against Pakistan and this win will surely boost up the confidence of Mashrafee and Co in the upcoming one-day and Test match series. Bangladesh has already sent a signal to the visiting team that the upcoming matches will not be a cakewalk for the visitors. So far the Tigers' records against Pakistan have not been encouraging as they have won only one one-day international against Pakistan in the 1999 World Cup and after that they have not won a single match to the utter frustration of Bangladeshi cricket fans. Sabbir Ahmed scored a brilliant 123 from 99 balls that brought BCB XI back to the game when it was slipping away from its grip.
The defeat has definitely given a jolt to the visiting team and now they will try to come back hard on the hosts. Although it was a mere practice match for both teams, the outcome will greatly boost the morale of the Bangladeshi national team. The victory which was a close one has made the cricket lovers happy. I hope the cricket fans will throng in the stadium in great numbers and cheer up their team and inspire them to perform their best.
