BIRMINGHAM: Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman is hoping his off-cutters, which are not working in England as much they used to at home, come good against India in the ICC Champions Trophy semi-final on Thursday.According to a report in Bangladesh newspaper Daily Star on Tuesday, the 21-year old left-arm fast bowler said he is ruffled a bit by the fact that his famed off-cutters are not coming good here and that he is working hard on it.It was Rahman's off-cutters that did the trick against India two years back when he bagged five-wicket hauls in two consecutive matches rattling the Indian batting order.Rahman has so far got only one wicket from three matches in the Champions Trophy . Meanwhile, Bangladesh players looked very relaxed on Monday ahead of their first semi-final in an ICC event.According to the paper, some headed for shopping while others returned after doing a gym session. It was an optional day for practice and only the bowlers turned up to have some fitness drills at the ground.At home in Dhaka, excitement is reaching a crescendo as fans have started planning where they will catch the action on Thursday and the city is also decking up for that.Bangladesh, led by Mashrafe Mortaza , defied all odds to make it to the last-four stage after beating New Zealand and then seeing England get past Australia in Group A.
