Troubled by their dismaying performances and the resultant backlash, Pakistan and Bangladesh will sincerely look for course correction in their World Cup engagement at the Eden Gardens here on Tuesday.
While Pakistan, which has suffered four consecutive losses still nurtures hopes for a semifinal berth against the odds, Bangladesh, having lost five in a row, knows that its last-four dream is practically over.
The biggest challenge for both sides would be to reboot psychologically in order to bounce back from a state of despair. Even as Pakistan still has some motivation left, Bangladesh needs to back itself to fight for the country’s pride in the remaining matches. It is easier said than done, though.
