: Welcome to 'Wicket Cricket', the show exclusively for this edition of the ICC World Twenty20. I'm Shonali Nagrani and along with me is Wasim Akram. Welcome Wasim...
: My pleasure, Shonali.
: We're into match number 4, Pakistan Vs. Bangladesh which is coming up in sometime. Let us ask Wasim about what he thinks of Pakistan first in this tournament.
: As a Pakistani, I'd definitely like to see them performing well. In the past two editions, they have been the most consistent unit and are the Defending Champions. There will be pressure on them for sure but, how they cope with it will be interesting to look at.
: Any particular players you're looking forward to watch?
: In the Pak team?
: Yes-Yes.
: There are a lot of talented boys in this team actually. I'm really impressed with young Aamer. Umar Akmal is also a very good player and then we have our captain, Boom Boom who is a treat to watch when he gets going.
: Boom Boom Afridi is my favorite as well. Here, I'd like to inform our viewers that we have some very exciting competitions for you all. Just wait till they get underway.
Wasim, what do you think about the Bangladeshis?
: Bangladesh side is a very young side. We have always been speaking about how much talent they have but, they haven't stood up so far. I think they depend a bit too much on Tamim Iqbal. If he fires, they have a chance if not then they seem to be in all sorts of troubles. I don't see them going anywhere if everyone don't start contributing.
: While we're getting ready for the toss, you agree with Mohd. Ashraful being included in the side?
: Yeah, I mean with whom they will replace him? He's not got the runs recently but, they just have to hope he does. He is also a very talented and an experienced campaigner and has to step up sooner rather than later. Why not now?
: We're ready for the toss. Let's go straight to Sunny Gavaskar then...
: Its the toss time here and I have along with me the two captains, Shahid Afridi for Pakistan and Shakib-Al-Hasan for Bangladesh. Shakib to toss...
: Heads!
: Its gone for a walk! Well, it is Heads. Pakistan have won the toss. What are you gonna do?
: We will have a bat first, Sunny. Pitch looks good for batting early on and we would like to put a big score on the board.
: Defending Champions, any extra pressure by that?
: Yeah, it is. We just need to focus on each match and hopefully we will do good in this World Cup as well.
: Good Luck for the match!
: Thanks, thanks a lot Sunny Bhai!
: Shakib, happy to bowl first?
: I'd have selected to bat first too. But, now we have to bowl and we are ready for it.
: You are probably in one of the toughest groups if not the most, looking for any upsets?
: Yes, Pakistan and Australia are very good teams. We are going to try our best!
: Good Luck to you as well, Shakib.
: Thanks, Sunny!
: So, the news is Pakistan have won the toss and they will bat first. See you right after the short break!
