Asia Cup 2016 | Match 1 | India beat Bangladesh by 45 runs

[Nikhil_cric]

Dhini not planning on bowling jaddu at all?

 

[octavian]

Was Tamim injured for this match?

 

[Fact]

Is having balli normal and acceptable for boys in India? In Pakistan some burgers have it but it is seriously looked down upon

It is not usual, some boys do wear it to look cool etc, not looked down or anything but most people don't prefer it.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Sabbir is a good striker

 

[Thivagar]

Sabbir is a good batsman to watch. Good striker. Bang should get rid of Mithu, Kayes.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Suicidal. Mushfiq is a good hitter of spin

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Unlucky shakib

 

[theariezman]

Bangladesh got excited after than one sixer.

 

[Ankit007]

IMO match is done and dusted now for BD

 

[IcedCoffee]

Good for Bang. Shakib was stallinggg.

 

[IAJ]

Wow when they looked comfortable..

 

[SpellChecker]

Is there a qawalli program happening in the stadium? Why are bangladeshi fans clapping?

They are frustrated bro

 

[Thivagar]

Screw Mithun and Kayes. Bangladesh should open with Soumya and Tamil, Sabbir should follow, Skakib and Mushy should follow next. Screw those other hacks.

 

[carrom_ball]

It is not shakib's day at all

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Sabbir has nice eyes

 

[Boxer]

Sabbir is a good batsman to watch. Good striker. Bang should get rid of Mithu, Kayes.

thanks for getting me out

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Slog coming up

 

[Strike Rate]

Short. Indians hit a few 6s that barely crossed the boundary just like Afridi's.

So they have again reduced boundaries we should be ready to see edges and half shots going for sixes

 

[desi_launda]

82/5

 

[Dman]

Pandya back to balance the match.Not.

 

[Ankit007]

Oh.. Big blow this one... Sabbir out

 

[BeautifulGame]

Are there any bonus points available?
Bizzare batting by Bangladesh

 

[BaaliSoda]

Sabbir gone, looked best of the BD batsmen out there.

 

[Thivagar]

I have a feeling that one of the finalist might make it due to their RR. Expecting SL, Bangla and Pakistan to pound UAE very bad lol.

 

[Suleiman]

Why the hell do Bang brothers hide Mushfiqur at 6??

He's a big hitter, should bat above the lull batsmen..

 

[street cricketer]

There's a few. Many Pakistanis also have blue eyes, especially in the northern regions.

Yeah I know the Pathans and the dardic population have it. Probably the Balochis too, not sure. But other than them, it's uncommon among the others.

 

[Ankit007]

Just need to win one against either SL or PAK and we are through to finals...

 

[Boxer]

alrounder Pandya doing a great job

 

[Dman]

Bangladesh fans leaving

 

[BaaliSoda]

What's the D/L par score at this stage?

Edit: It is 119

Drizzling has started

 

[1992CorneredTiger]

Where is Tamim Iqbal? Is he in the squad?

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Its raining now. Bangladeshi fans are also leaving the stadium.

No.

 

[Dman]

You never know what could have happened had Shakib caught Rohit, the match wasn't as one sided as it look now.

 

[pasha404]

This Shakib is just a disgrace

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

You never know what could have happened had Shakib caught Rohit, the match wasn't as one sided as it look now.

If else while loop yahan mat lagao bhai. We are winning this.

 

[Thivagar]

Mushy getting match practice so he'll be ready when Bangladesh faces India again at the final

 

[BeautifulGame]

You never know what could have happened had Shakib caught Rohit, the match wasn't as one sided as it look now.

And if India had won the toss match could have finished an hour earlier

Bangladesh had the advantage of putting India in when it swinging wildly and batting 2nd after the pitch had eased yet losing by miles

 

[BaaliSoda]

Mushfiqur with 2 crucial boundaries.

Still an uphill task for BD, need to score more than 15 runs an over

 

[BeautifulGame]

Mushy getting match practice so he'll be ready when Bangladesh faces India again at the final

Are Malinga Mathews and Kulasekara fit for this ?

 

[Thivagar]

Mushfiqur with 2 crucial boundaries.

Still an uphill task for BD, need to score more than 15 runs an over

The match is over lol.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Rohit takes an easy catch in the deep, Nehra strikes

Mahmadullah gone

 

[IcedCoffee]

And if India had won the toss match could have finished an hour earlier

Pitch didn't ease in 2nd. It was the new ball that was causing issues (especially on this wicket) for the batsmen as Nehra showed in the beginning. It settled down eventually in both innings.

Are u still looking at req runs ?
Match was over half an hour ago lol

 

[BaaliSoda]

The match is over lol.

Yep. It is

I was worried about spinner bowling into the death overs

 

[Executioner]

We lost the match when we let India score more than 140. Our batting looked weak with Imrul and Mithun on top.

That 11th over of Taskin gave it away. Shakib dropped a dolly(yes by his standards) and short and wide balls that went to the boundary. We never really recovered. Our fielding was not good enough. Mustafiz couldn't do much because of the fielding effort

 

[BaaliSoda]

Yennaiya! round katti adikkireenga.

Said it in jest

Another wicket goes, Nehra on hat trick.

 

[BeautifulGame]

Pitch didn't ease in 2nd. It was the new ball that was causing issues (especially on this wicket) for the batsmen as Nehra showed in the beginning. It settled down eventually in both innings.

It didn't swing anywhere near it did for Bangladesh. Rain and moisture played a big part in the first innings whereas with dew pitch eased a lot in 2nd innings

 

[Lords]

So who is going to be MOM nehra, rohit ar pandya?

 

[cricketpatzer]

Looks like this Asia cup is this year's rubbish commentators convention.

The commentary is unintentionally funny. Samples "big shot, but won't go for a six... it is going to be caught by the wicketkeeper" (Dhoni caught the skier about 15 feet from the wicket)... and "and that is a six... no it is a four" (the ball seem to have bounced a good 25 feet from the boundary).

 

[marlonbrowndo]

So who is going to be MOM nehra, rohit ar pandya?

Rohit obviously

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

So who is going to be MOM nehra, rohit ar pandya?

Obviously Rohit.

His knock created most of the impact that Bangladesh never recovered from.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

BD commie making excuses

Dont lose heart man, its just a T20 fun cricket.

What are they saying?

Err, you what?

What in the blue hell did fielding do to make Mustafiz "not do too much?"

He got hit around, deal with it and stop making excuses. Every bowler gets hit it's T20.

 

[razabbas]

Dont lose heart man, its just a T20 fun cricket.

Will you say the same if indian team performs like this against PAK ?

 

[Lords]

One more wicket and i will give it to pandyA.

 

[tonmoy]

Such a crappy performance by BD.... Expect India Pak final guys.. we are not made for this format...

 

[carrom_ball]

Such a crappy performance by BD.... Expect India Pak final guys.. we are not made for this format...

Or the Test format

 

[carrom_ball]

Nah, rohit deserves it

 

[IcedCoffee]

It didn't swing anywhere near it did for Bangladesh. Rain and moisture played a big part in the first innings whereas with dew pitch eased a lot in 2nd innings

Nope. Just saw it again. There wasn't much swing for Mustafizur or the others. Nor much seam movement; nothing compared to the amount of seam movement Nehra was getting. I'd say Indian pacers used the conditions better that's all.

Agreed on the dew factor.

 

[Lords]

There are so many Nawaz Sharif fans in Bangladesh : nawaz

 

[Ankit007]

So who is going to be MOM nehra, rohit ar pandya?

shakib

 

[Lords]

Indo-Pak match is different. Its a mini war and an arch rivalry

 

[Executioner]

Dont lose heart man, its just a T20 fun cricket.

That is where we fans are being delusional. Tests are the real deal and if you drop a catch in tests the batsman will go on to score a double hundred against you.

Also, its such a travesty to see how our bowlers were not bowling full length deliveries on a green wicket. No offence to Indian bowling, but any half decent pace attack even that of hapless Zimbabwe would have made Indian batting struggle just by bowling stump to stump and at a fullish length.

Err, you what?

What in the blue hell did fielding do to make Mustafiz "not do too much?"

He got hit around, deal with it and stop making excuses. Every bowler gets hit it's T20.

Yes they all do, but fielders need to backup the bowlers. Fielding in T20s is as important as bowling

yes indian bowlers bowled either full or short ball on the body, our bowlers bowled back of length and gave width

 

[Ankit007]

Okay Congo guys.. We won by 45 runs...

 

[BaaliSoda]

This was a very lame chase that never took off its 1st gear.

BD need to change their batting order for future games.

Good win for India.

 

[carrom_ball]

Why don't we ever win tosses on green tops, this match could have been a lot shorter

 

[Sherlock]

Yes they all do, but fielders need to backup the bowlers. Fielding in T20s is as important as bowling

He bowled poorly. No need to blame the fielders for him getting smashed by Sharma and Pandya. In fact what exactly did they do for him to be smacked for 40 runs?

 

[IcedCoffee]

It's funny. Only chance Bang has against Ind is in ODIs, whereas for Pak, it's just in T20s (talking LOIs here).

 

[pasha404]

Such a crappy performance by BD.... Expect India Pak final guys.. we are not made for this format...

BD batting order is completely muddled up.needs complete change.why Mahmudolla is batting at 6 he should bat at 1 or 3.sarkar is another U Akmal talented but inconsistent

 

[IcedCoffee]

He bowled poorly. No need to blame the fielders for him getting smashed by Sharma and Pandya. In fact what exactly did they do for him to be smacked for 40 runs?

PSL's fault. It led to Shakib losing his touch and form, and that led to a dropped chance which directly took a toll on the Bang team's morale and thus Mustafizur's bowling.

 

[Dios]

T20 is not Bangladesh's format. I think Bangladesh right now are a better Test side than a T20 side. Still it could have been a different story had that ***** Shakib held on to that simple catch. Congratulations to India.

 

[ShoonyaSifar]

What exactly was BD's plan here? Mushfiqur played for preserving net run rate or what?

Very poor effort especially in the last 6-7 overs

 

[Anfield]

That is where we fans are being delusional. Tests are the real deal and if you drop a catch in tests the batsman will go on to score a double hundred against you.

Yes they all do, but fielders need to backup the bowlers. Fielding in T20s is as important as bowling

But no one dropped a catch or misfielded of his bowling, so how could you say that fielders didn't back him?

 

[BeautifulGame]

Nope. Just saw it again. There wasn't much swing for Mustafizur or the others. Nor much seam movement; nothing compared to the amount of seam movement Nehra was getting. I'd say Indian pacers used the conditions better that's all.

Agreed on the dew factor.

That's because Nehra bowled miles better than Bangladesh bowlers .

In the first four overs of India batting there was only one delivery pitched in full length area and it got Dhawan wicket

 

[sshakir411]

India was always going to win this...shocked to see Mustafiz, hadn't seen him before and due to PP hype expected a lot more.
