ICC World Cup 2011-India versus Bangladesh-player to watch out
The curtain raiser of the ICC World Cup 2011, between two subcontinent teams Bangladesh and India gets underway on February 19. There is much hype about the batting line-ups of both teams.
Bangladesh should take heart from their 2007’s victory over India, and that will boost their morale going into the match. In the previous version of Cricket’s mega event, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 were knocked out of the tournament in the first round, losing to the Bengali
tigers by a significant margin of six wickets.
On the contrary, India will look to turn the tables by avoiding an upset. The loss at Port of Spain will still fresh in their minds. So this is a chance for the subcontinent giants to redeem themselves.
In anticipation, Bettor.com takes a look at some of the crucial players, who will make an impact in the match at Sher e Bangla Stadium, Mirpur.
Tamim Iqbal
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Tamim-Iqbal-c2640, the left-hand batsmen, became superstar in that World Cup victory over India, scoring a superb half-century to set up a crucial five-wicket win.
Tamim has suffered wrist injuries in 2010; however, it has also been his most successful year with the bat, scoring 776 runs at an average of 34. His tally of runs includes a brilliant 125 against England.
The dashing opener did not take part in his team’s 4-0 victory over http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zimbabwe-c3045, amassing 162 runs at 40 with a best of 95.
In addition, he is aiming to be the top-run getter in cricket’s extravaganza, as he has been in supreme form. The home side will look up to their premier opener to provide them an electrifying start, in order to put the opposition under pressure.
Mushfiqur Rahim
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747, is a vital cog in the lower-order. He can play solid knocks, and can easily raise the tempo of his innings by scoring runs quickly.
Rahim has been a very effective wicket-keeper, as he hardly misses a chance behind the stumps. In addition, he has rescued his team several times from early hiccups by playing resolute knocks.
He has a decent record against India, scoring 163 runs at an impressive average of 27. In his hunt for runs, he hammered a solid 56* against them to earn his team a place in the second round of the previous edition of cricket’s showpiece event.
Sachin Tendulkar
Sachin Tendulkar, the most prolific run-scorer of all-times, though has not scored an ODI century against Bangladesh. This might be the right time to register a ton against them.
However, Sachin has been productive against them, scoring 354 runs at 44, including a best of 82 not out. The little Master will be keen to make an impact on the tournament straight away with a sparkling century.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Virender-Sehwag-c95429
From the previous World Cup match against the hosts, Sehwag is one of the survivors. The destructive opening batsman, who scored two runs in that game, will look to make a better impression with the bat when his team faces Bangladesh.
His record against the home team is far from impressive, scoring 328 runs at an average of 29. However, he will look to improve on his record against them. A World Cup century might be round the corner, and the opposition will be well aware of a potential
Sehwag blitz.
