Pakistan haven't had the rub of the green on the field lately, losing a nail-biting thriller against South Africa on Friday, to suffer their fourth defeat on the trot.

Their qualification for the semifinals hangs in the balance and they have win all their remaining games against Bangladesh at the majestic Eden Gardens in Kolkata (October 31), against New Zealand in Bengaluru (November 4) and the defending champions England at the Eden Gardens again (November 11).
