Asia Cup 2016 | Bangladesh beat UAE by 51 runs

Mustafiz bowls his cutters very subtly.

It's very hard to detect it from his action. Kinda like Malinga's slower variation from his stock delivery.
 
Pakistan A has a good bowling but on batting the need to work alot, i would loved to have Afghanistan or even Nepal instead of them.

Usually mystery bowlers tend to do well against minnows....Mendis,Afridi etc wreck havoc against smaller teams.....even Malinga with his unorthodox action,but once the bigger teams get hold of them they are pretty harmless
 
Because Afghanistan are rubbish at everything in cricket.

still better than UAE.

Afghans are improving but I don't like their arrogance though. But they have a high ceiling, definitely higher than UAE or other associates. Afghans have a good bowling attack and fielding is half decent, batting has only explosive batsman no proper batsman but that will develop with time
 
I am always a biased person but our keeper is downright ridiculous, will make a far better actor than SRK

WTH....hit wicket

Agreed.

When did Lala become a mystery bowler btw:misbah

Their bowling has pace but little else and they bat terribly. Will remain minnows for a long time imo. No temperament for batting :afridi
 
Mohd Aamir gets banana swing even in the driest of conditions.....I can't even describe the fruit for the swing he will get in these conditions :amir

Irfan gets bounce on any surface....and on this surface it is game over.

Indian fans no point watching the game tommorow....forgone conclusion

Bangladesh giving a preview of what they'll do to the real Pakistan team by giving a demonstration against the Pakistan 'A' team.

Thats what people said about BD and BD had neither batting nor bowling. But Afghans are serious about the sport and like BD have a lot of talent. Eventually they will come good. So will Nepal.
 
I guess if Afghanistan would have qualified these games should have been more competitive. UAE is so minnow in their batting can play 20 overs normally

Looking at this wicket, I want to be honest and say that Wahab is Pakistan's only hope.

Things you have to realize is that the pitch isn't as difficult to bat on. Mithun and Riad showed that if you stay in the wicket you will score runs.

Same wicket where Riad, Shabbir, Mithun, Rohit(83!), Patil, Chandimal all looked really good once set. Take your time and win. Pakistan DON'T have that kind of a batsman barring Hafeez, who generally struggles against swing

BD had a huge population which was cricket crazy and had talented young batsmen . Just lacking direction nothing more. I think atleast in LOIs you will be very very competitive by 2023. Afghans simply don't have the infrastructure to develop batsmen.
 
Big hearted batsmen showing great heart in a chase [MENTION=139353]ChachaCricket[/MENTION]:afridi
 
Bangladesh will take the confidence from this victory in to the T20 qualifiers.....hopefully no more hiccups for them in the qualifiers

Afghans have tremendous bowling talent. They have some batting talent too. Afghans are naturally very athletic, they will make up whatever they lack in numbers. Afghans are making their base at India or UAE so will have access to facilities.

And this is based on what theory exactly???
 
:)))

I am sorry to say this that we batted crap, but our batting looks legendary if you compare to UAE :)))

Afghans are strong people but not necessarily athletic
 
Why on Earth the commentators keep whining about how well UAE bowled well. On this pitch 120 is a good score.

As i speak, rubbish ball from Shakib
 
Bangladesh has looked better than Sri Lanka so far. Should be confident of beating them provided they can keep Mathews and Malinga at bay.
 
Oh leave him . Fact is without Patil's batting UAE are beyond rubbish. :srini

Shaiman was a beast at the world cup, but he seems to be in terrible form. I don't reckon this batting unit can manage >110-120 on these pitches vs these bowling attacks.
 
Athar ali Khan saying that it's important for Usman bhai to take as much strike as possible for UAE to win.

Seriously bangla fans shouldn't complain about commentators, forgot the excuses they were making when they lost to India :facepalm:

I don't think they can either. These wickets are quite hard for most batting sides let alone associates.
 
UAE has scored almost half as much run as BD!

Its very important Bangladesh win this convincingly because we lack the confidence and if you win by 50+ runs it boosts you a lot. Having said that, Bangladesh probably start as favourites against SL. Against Pak it will be even stevens.
 
I think ICC should ban team like UAE who does not have any native players. If a sport is not played by natives, that sport will never be popular in that country.
All their players are either Pakistani or Indian. Afghanistan deserves to be here, not UAE.

Not really.....If anything this should give confidence for Bangladesh heading into the T20 qualifiers...You guys need to show that you won't slip against minnows anymore like most big teams

Good point. I'm not sure I would back the likes of Hafeez, Khurram, Sarfaraz, etc. to do much on these pitches. Strange times... Test wickets in T20s and vice versa in Tests. :)) :)))

Slight edge to Pakistan if the pitch is bowler friendly -Aamir/Wahab can be a handful of theres bounce.
 
Taskin is so unlucky. But someone (read Heath Streak/Mashrafe) needs to talk to him and tell him to bowl fuller and stop bowling short so much.
 
Batting was a disgrace, Shakib has lost his mojo, bowled quite poorly, picked up tailender wickets and got smacked for a six of a terrible ball. His batting was quite foolish. Getting out of a full toss.
