2015 World Cup Result | New Zealand fight to win by 3 wickets against Bangladesh

What a shot for 4, then takes a single this is good sensible innings by Bangladesh.
Its the best I have seen them play. I hope they don't lose the plot in the powerplay or look to over accelerate at the death.
Just bat the full 50 overs and you'll have more than a decent total.
I'm really enjoying this match.
Another 4, fantastic cricket

India will be too good for them, msd is a genius captain in odi cricket :msd
 
See off Southee he will only have 3 overs left after this.
This pitch is still swinging by the way. No ways chasing will be clear cut here
 
But he is a wicket taking bowler, they must be careful with him and not over commit.
Only put the bad ones away. Can't afford to give NZ a sniff

Yes he is a wicket taker and a slightly better version of Ryan McLaren (the bowler)

BD has only two seamers in this match. That's what commentators were saying.
 
Get to 200 in 40 overs without losing a wicket and we are up for a very good match with 290-300 on board
 
[MENTION=132982]soso_killer[/MENTION] really wants Bangladesh in the QFs :))
 
That wicket of sarkar was unnecessary, they should save wicket for the last 15 overs.

Lol, not really.
I want to see you guys chase a decent total even though the opposition is not ideal.
Australia, NZ and India have not chased anything against the good sides which has been a slight disappointment.
I'm still not sure were teams stand, Sri Lanka do look dangerous though and are not going away anytime soon. They have chased well.
 
Wasn't this Riaz guy a bowler who can bat when he arrived on international scene? now he looks like a specialist bat who can bowl a few overs

SL is probably the weakest bowling unit though. They gave 300+ against all non-minnows.

He was a hitter who could bowl every now and then. He has bowled well against Pakistan though

yes i remember that match Pakistan was dismissed at something like 170 he took 3/4 wickets and scored some runs too but we defended that total thanks to all the spinners lol not a single wicket for pacer all wickets were taken by hafeez/ajmal/abdur rehman and malik i think

That would be shocking and disappointing.
Against England Mortoza looked to attack with the spinners initially and looked bowl the quicks out. But when he saw the quicks were taking wickets he changed that strategy. So the quicks won them the match.
Why would he change that strategy? In NZ of all places (3 spinners)?
That's horrible,i might as well go to sleep

mortaza is injured today and sakib is the captain so one specialist pacer is missing
 
Very poor captaincy here , too many bowling changes.

Yeah, but we have a tendency of tightening up.
So chasing won't be easy even against a lolly-pop attack.
But I do fancy our chances against them. Ironically i wanted to play them than England to be honest.
I wanted a non bowling side to ease some of the pressure (on our batsmen) and break our hoodoo in KO' and they provide the best opportunity.
 
Powerplay taken early. I hope its a means of a double bluff to force McCullum to bowl his best bowlers out.
And not attack, but Shakib is attacking I'm not sure if that's clever with so many overs left.

If we win first knockout then I think freeze mentality may be over and we will go all the way. One thing going for SL is venue. Sydney is the best venue for the bowlers they have.
 
Shak gone. Bummer. Just when we should have taken control of the game...
 
Edge Shakib out. Very stupid.
Bangla will be bowled out know or won't have a platform to accelerate towards the back end. Very poor thinking
 
Shakib was doing an Akmal here. Trying to smack very ball to the boundary. Needed to at intelligently. Very poor shot. Ruined the PP as well.
 
Shakib proved he's nothing more than a hack, what a shameful shot and innings.

Still though Bangla

Yeah I know, and I think people are overrating this aspect IMO.
If the pitch assist spinners then Tahir has a bigger role to play and gives us an excuse to play JP who will be useful against Sanga should he look to over impose himself on what will be big grounds.
If the pitch is abrasive we might get a hint of reverse swing as well.


Anyway this game won't be played on a raging turner, this is not Asia.
 
Bangladesh have shown why they are minnows.
They are facing the best attack in this tournament, and they look to over impose with so many overs left?
They'll end up with 50+ shot had they played sensible cricket.
 
Lol at England fan in the crowd saying sorry dad i am supporting New Zealand haha feel bad for england fans
 
If this Mahmudullah goes, Bangladesh can forget winning about this match.

Still, didn't think they'd get this far.
 
300 runs already for Mahmudullah in this WC and guess what his best came against strong bowling attacks :bow:

It won't be a raging tuner but useless bowling will become less useless due to venue. I feel we should play JP for sure. Just an additional cover and he does sometime pick crucial wickets in middle. Not sure about opening here. I am all for giving chances but one opener with so low confidence in knockout looks bad to me.
 
barbie girl also takes a wicket so this afghan match is a good opporunity for barbie and clouderson to fix their numbers and data
 
Seems like Southee's bowling battery got expired after his 7-fer against the Out of form England. Recharging options too don't seems to work out :sree
 
Big Mac operates in just one gear; Aggression. Aggression isn't always the best policy.
 
seems like bangladesh has no answer for anderson. A bizzare match where corey anderson is much better than southee.
