But that does not mean teams including the national rival, will not lose a game or two if it brings embarrassment for Pakistan. But while Gulbadin cost his team a loss, Dhoni’s batting ensured a loss which India can afford. Whether Bangladesh has 7 or 9 points depends on how India behaves, hence Pakistan’s anxiety. One wonders why Pakistan’s attitude is like this as neither Bangladesh nor Pakistan seem to be particularly good teams. But if one accepts the Pakistani argument that India’s loss to New Zealand was deliberate, then only Australia and India seem unbeatable.
