Bangladesh opt out. Are Pakistan next?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/art ... e18j2xlqjo

Scotland are in as a result.

Embarrassing situation about Bangladesh ICC(India) should hang their heads in shame and I make Pakistan right in kicking up a stink over it...someone has to stand up to Jay Shah and BCCI

Pakistan making hard work of beating Netherlands. Going to be a close finish.

Palistan 98-2 off 11 chasing 148 are now 115-7. Going to mess this up as only Pakistan (or South Africa) can.

Agreed!

Pakistan beat the Netherlands by three wickets.

Three balls to spare! But putting their fans though the wringer.

Hetmyer half century off just 22 balls!

Hope chewed up a lot of deliveries though. Seems an odd selection.

Hat trick for Shepherd

and a 4th two balls later as Scotland fall apart

Not the best prep for Scotland I suppose. But outclassed anywaay.

West Indies win by 35 runs.

Iffy start for India! All tournaments need an early shock...

77-6!

What will the response be if India lose to the USA?

still time to post a 120 to 140 score and spin the USA out for not very many, so I'm almost certainly being a little presumptuous
