Mahela Jayawardene hasn’t lost sleep ahead of clasha gainst Pakistan - Cricket News Roundup – Part 1 – March 15, 2012
Sir Lankan skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DPMD-Jayawardene-c1397, is not intimidated by the upcoming crucial Asia Cup 2012 match against Pakistan that could result in the ouster of his side from the final in case Pakistan wins today (Thursday) and India goes on to beat Bangladesh on Friday.
"It is (a do-or-die match), but we are used to that. In http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 we had quite a few of those. It's still in our control so we don't have to depend on anybody else,” said Jayawardene.
Pakistan humiliated Sri Lanka in November in a one-day series, played in the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758’s demise against Pakistan in their previous encounter the Lankan skipper said, “Ajmal has improved tremendously in the last year and it shows in his record. In Dubai when we played against him, we had good and bad times."
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Nasir-Hossain-c77146, the Bangladesh all-rounder hopes that his side would be able to restrict the belligerent Indian side on an achievable total in their upcoming Asia Cup clash on March 16, 2012.
"We are confident about the next game against India and we are looking forward to do something good. It would be good game if we can restrict India within 260 to 265 runs on this wicket and I'm confident that's possible for us," said http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nasir-c78728.
The clash would be a do-or-die match for the hosts which requires them to give a staggering performance to stay in the competition.
The all-rounder seemed unfazed by the possibility of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747 all-rounder reckoned that a good delivery would get any batsman out on a given day.
Indian supporters, who have been longing for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chinnadupargea-Sachin-c50607’s 100th international century, are hoping to see the little master achieve this honour in Friday’s contest.
