June 2008 is not a good time for cricket in South Asia. Rain fall most of the part in South Asia. So, the much thrill match can wash out any time. If it happens then Tri-nation tournament will fail to thrill the viewers. So, not only cricketers but also viewers hope to see a shiny day.
As I am Bangladeshi so I should support my own team if they defeat. With my deep soul I expect to see a victory. I hope nothing is impossible for young tigers. You know that they can do anything possible in their day. Today may be their day where you can see some big and peculiar shot from Mohammad Ashraful.
What do you think who will win in this match?
I would like to beat with Bangladesh team. So, let see who will win.
