Bangladesh set 128-run target for Pakistan in crucial bout for semi-final spot 

Adelaide: Bangladesh has set a 128-run target for Pakistan in crucial quarterfinal of the World Cup event. The must-win game for both teams is being played at Adelaide. 

Bangladesh were restricted after losing eight wickets. South Africa's defeat to the Netherlands earlier in the day has made this match a virtual quarter-final. 

Notably, green shirts bounced back brilliantly by recording back to back wins against Netherlands and South Africa, after losing two close encounters against India and Zimbabwe. However, to qualify for the next round, Pakistan needs to win their game.
