South Asian Business news and information

Are you a bit astonished about the title? Please, do not blame me. I am not astrologer but, for sure, I have seen the things happening in this way in the last three World Cup Cricket tournaments. Then why not this time as well?

Well, let me be first to explain the thing. Australia played in the last three world cup cricket finals and won last two times. If you can look at the last three world cup cricket finals, you can easily find three sub-continental (South Asian) teams playing against Australia. In 1996, Australia played against Sri Lanka but lost by 7 wickets. Then in 1999, Pakistan reached at the final with Australia but this time, Australia won their second world cup trophy beating Pakistan by 8 wickets. India played against Australia in the last world cup cricket 2003 final and lost by 125 runs making Australia the first team to win the world cup tournament for three times. So, the three South Asian countries played in the last three world cup cricket finals. Now this is the turn of Bangladesh to play in the final of this upcoming world cup cricket 2007 against Australia as Bangladesh is the only South Asian team left to be played in the World Cup final against Australia .

From another point of view, you can assume that Bangladesh will play in the final against Australia in World Cup Cricket 2007. This is S-P-I-B. Here, S for Sri Lanka, P for Pakistan, I for India and B for Bangladesh. First Sri Lanka played in the final in 1996, then Pakistan in 1999 and India in 2003. The letters S, P, I and B are alphabetically arranged. So, B for Bangladesh should be the ultimate finalist in the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup 2007.

As a Bangladeshi blogger, I really wish that it happened. Well, even the most optimistic Bangladeshi fan is not dreaming like me. On the other hand, Cricket is a game of uncertainty.
