Ashraful eyes repeat performance
Bangladesh batsman Mohammad Ashraful is looking to repeat his World Cup heroics against South Africa when they take on England on Wednesday.

Ashraful made 87 off 83 balls in their 67-run win over South Africa.

"If all the players remain fit for the game in Barbados and give the same sort of performance, I'm sure Bangladesh will have a very good chance.

"If we have a good match against England, we would have a good chance of going to the semis," he said.

"Our victory on Saturday has thrown the Cup race wide open and now many teams have a chance to go forward."

Ashraful told the BBC Urdu Service Bangladesh exceeded their expectations against South Africa.

They had begun the game with the strategy of trying to reach 220 or 230 by saving wickets early in the innings and accelerating from the 35-over mark.
