India likely will now play Bangladesh (5/12/2009)
--K. Arumugam
India was supposed to start the campaign with a match against Bangaldesh. It was changed a week before the tournament, as Sri Lanka pulled out.

Don't bother. The same will happen now India will any case meet Bangladesh on Thursday

As per the draw, the third ranked team of Pool A will meet fourth ranked team of other pool.

Having lost already two matches, against the hosts and Japan, Bangladesh is finishing fourth in Pool B.

Therefore it is certain India-Bangla match on Thursday. Winner of this match will play for the 5th and six ranking match on Friday.

Interesting in the Bangladesh match is, Banglaesh team is now coached by the former Indian coach Gerrard Rach. Whom present Indian team manager Dhanraj Pillay termed not at all a good coach in a television interview post Athens. As a quirk of fate would have it, his team will now play Rach's team. Losing crucial match is cruel. One can say so.
