Pakistan skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed won the toss against Bangladesh and decided to bat first in their last league stage game of the ongoing ICC World Cup at Lord’s in London on Friday.

Pakistan have to win this match at least by 311 runs to secure a place in the semifinals while lost their previous match to India, which ended their dream to reach the semifinals.

England’s win in their last league stage game over New Zealand made Pakistan’s way to the semifinals nearly impossible.

Bangladesh won three matches and lost four in the eight matches they have played earlier.

The other match was washed out due to rain. Tigers bagged only seven points from the eight games.
