Bangladesh's captain and coach, Shakib Al Hasan and Jamie Siddons, are targeting a victory against Pakistan in their opening game of the ICC World Twenty20 on May 1.
"I think there is a possibility for us to beat Pakistan because, at the moment, Pakistan cricket is unsettled with different kinds of crisis and injury problems," Shakib said in Mirpur, prior to the team's departure. "So we have to do something in the first match if we want to play the second round, but that doesn't mean we play bad cricket against other group opponents Australia."
Siddons also felt Pakistan was Bangladesh's best chance but said they would have to play sharp cricket nonetheless. "Both Pakistan and Australia are tough opponents but realistically we have a chance against Pakistan but in that case we need to play well," he said. "The preparation is good and I must say it was much better than the last occasion. The players got the opportunity to play two tournaments - PCL and NCL - recently, which is really good. Some players missed out on runs but I think the wicket was low and slow. But definitely the boys will get consistent pace while playing in Barbados."
Bangladesh had a poor World Twenty20 in England in 2009, getting eliminated in the first round after losing group matches to India and Ireland. Shakib, however, was also pleased with his team's preparation this time. "Nothing could have been better than playing matches before any tournament. I think our preparation is good this time and most importantly we have been playing good cricket for last few months and hope it will continue in West Indies and as well as in the England tour."

Posted by shan228 on (April 30, 2010, 5:22 GMT)Pakistan is the poor team in this tournament. I think Bangladesh will easily beat them.

Posted by realredbaron on (April 29, 2010, 21:01 GMT)Guess what all the Pakistanis commenting here with their bluffs, EVEN ZIMBABWE CAN BEAT PAKISTAN!
Posted byT-20 cricket is a game of luck, stamina and will.... any one can come out victorious, it all depends who can take most advantage of others weakness. Yet i think its already time for Bangladesh to stop telling who they want to beat instead go out to do so.............
Posted by Zee_Waqar_Sheikh on (April 28, 2010, 5:43 GMT)No doubts the Bangladesh is growing fast ans they playing good cricket. but its funny to read that they targeting Pakistan. Bangali guys first go, do it, then say if you have the capability to beat Pakistan. Remember if Pakistan bat first they gonna post 160+ and they wont let you chase this and if Bangladesh bat first they will allow to post near by 150.
Posted by Asad1214 on (April 28, 2010, 3:52 GMT)Pakistan Will beta every team q k ye mera game he (PAKISTAN) Stand up 4 da championnss.....

Posted byi would like to say something to the pakistani fans...guys, ofcourse pakistan is a strong team but just think about last year pakistan's performence.pakistan defeated by Australia with full of shame and your board was just like a joker to take their decisions.pakistan has been playing cricket since long time but Bangladesh still a kid in world cricket,but in this time Bangladesh Beat every test playing nations in ODIs except England.Do you guys think every win was a fluke of Bagladesh? we are not telling you that we will beat you but we are especting to beat you and even you guys know that young Bangladesh can do it.
Posted by@ Tufli Fur Rahman ..abt ur comment... you said that bangladesh was defeated by byu ireland in last t20 worldcup so how can they defeat pakistan? did u forget that pakistan was also defeated by ireland in 2007 worlcup and bangladesh defeated inida in 2007 worlcup.. bangladesh defeated westindies in the 1st t20 worldcup as well. this is cricket and whoever will play their best game will win the match..
