The final league game of the tournament is technically a dead rubber. India have already made it to the final while Bangladesh have been eliminated. Therefore, this fixture serves as a platform for both sides to give their fringe players some game time. Bangladesh in particular haven't named their World Cup squad yet and this could possibly be a final opportunity for those whose spots are hanging by the thread. In contrast, India have already revealed their 15-man squad but injuries are inevitable with the modern cricketing schedule, so they'd want to ensure that the backups have some time out in the middle.

Rest Bumrah, Siraj & Pandya amd play Shami, prasidh Krishna, Thakur and Iyer
 
Tilak Verma make his odi debut .What is the point of playing him because he is not in the world cup squad . Sky or Iyer should get a chance instead of him .
 
Bangladesh (Playing 11): 1 Litton Das (wk), 2 Tanzid Hasan Tamim, 3 Anamul Haque, 4 Shakib Al Hasan (capt), 5 Towhid Hridoy, 6 Shamim Hossain, 7 Mehidy Hasan Miraz, 8 Mahedi Hasan, 9 Nasum Ahmed, 10 Tanzim Hasan Sakib, 11 Mustafizur Rahman

India (Playing 11): 1 Rohit Sharma (capt), 2 Shubman Gill, 3 Suryakumar Yadav, 4 Tilak Varma, 5 KL Rahul, 5 Ishan Kishan (wk), 6 Ravindra Jadeja, 8 Axar Patel, 9 Shardul Thakur, 10 Mohammed Shami, 11 Prasidh Krishna
 
Five change for India
Tilak, Shami, Prasidh, Surya, Thakur in.

Kohli, Bumrah, Siraj, Hardik, Kuldeep rested
And this is why India is superior to us lol. Babar would have played full strength in this dead game, including naseem, Rauf and shaheen and made sure they got Injured.
 
Good to see Rohit not resting...captain leading from the front.
 
How has Shakib not ripped all his hair out by now . How many times do we see Bangla bhais just throw there wickets away
 
Looking at the Indian bowlers , I am still wondering why SSA has failed to swing the ball this tournament

Even Bangladesh is not playing their first choice attack in this game
 
Is Babar so dumb ?
The only changes babar ever made even after beating Afghanistan 2-0 was playing saud shakeel and putting him out of position.

Tayyab was booted out of the squad despite not playing a single game, Abdullah and haris didn't get Even one game whereas India literally rested kholi and bumrah today lol, why didn't we rest rizwan and the rest of our middle order in that game?

He was forced to rest naseem because naseem nearly collapsed in the 2nd game due to being tired.

All changes babar has ever made have been forced changes because he plays the same 11 until that same 11 gets brutally butchered against a 1st string side or gets injured altogether.

What was the point of playing our trio against Nepal? What was Nepal going to do?

He did this in 2021 t20 world cup again. Hasan Ali was getting smacked but babar kept playing him because hasan was part of the winning 11, even though shaheen was the one holding his hand. And what happened? Shaheen got injured which forced chacha to bowl and Australia recovered, with hasan dropping a key catch and his atrocious bowling losing us the game
 
Bharatiya bowling seems class apart right now.

Lord Shardul doing his thing

Time for Pakistan to find another captain . We did the same Sachin and got so much more from his batting

Babar, misbah all these lads were clueless captains.

Sarfraz was a good captain but he got booted out because misbah was desperate to get rid of him. Misbah is the opponheimer of Pakistan cricket.

He might as well just openly say to our team " I am become Death, The Destroyer of Pakistan ".

Lol . That’s quote is from the Bhagavad Gita . You need to find something similar in the Quran

I will still keep Babar as the caption till the next T20 World Cup. Then after that, we will be sure enough if he needs to go as captain of not. In my opinion, he is doing fine as the other players also need to help him.
 
Liton Das is becoming a hack who is a minnow basher his fav is zimba, ire ans afg. Hardly scorer a decent innings any top 8 since last last worle cup.
 
There’s no concept of rotation of the strike in BD cricket anymore.

Maybe . But I feel he will be a much better batsman if the pressure of captaincy is taken off him . Unlike Kohli who loves pressure , Babar seems quite “soft “
 
BD need lot cleaning up after the world cup. From top to bottom. President must go, selector must be kicked out. Mashrafe needs to become board president. Or else BD cricket in ODI format will go back to 2003-2007days!

Pakistan needs Babar the batsman much more than Babar the captain in crucial matches .
 
Can they bat 50 overs today? Remains to be seen! I doubt it tho..
 
Neither side is playing their full team. I can't blame them. This is a dead rubber. They probably want this to be over fast.
 
3 catches dropped already. Mehedy Hasan Miraz beat us single handedly in last series. His dropped catch could prove costly.

This match is most likely the practice match for India before the final of Asia cup. They should be going all in and end this asap to put pressure on Sri Lanka.

Not really. BD would love to win this game as it will be huge moral booster prior to world cup. India would want to win this game and take the momentum in Asia Cup finals.

So this is not an insignificant game. Also, the fact that BD always brings their A game against India, there is lot to look forward to.
 
Mohammed Shami seems to be finished. Pace & fitness both gone. India need to replace him after the world cup.

If this was important, Mushfiq would've played probably.

They are also not fielding Taskin and Shoriful (2 main pacers). They are playing some rookies in this game. That shows they are experimenting.
 
Dead rubber. Intensity is missing.
For BD it shouldn’t matter dead rubber or not. This still a chance to improve themselves against a top teams in a tournament. Them players like Anamul, just don’t have mentality. Das got a good delivery but shot was pure lazy, bat didnt come hard down! Seemed like gave up on cricket!
 
Mehidy just show some application stop trying to drive every ball. Take a single and rotate strike yo
 
P

Poor from us. Don't know when will we improve this aspect of our cricket.
 
I have been following BD team for a long time. Their peak years were under Mashrafe Mortaza between 2015-2018. With emergence of few good young players like Fizz, Taskin, Sowmya, Shabbir etc. it felt like they will become a top side few years down the line. But unfortunately, that transition NEVER happened and now they are on a decline as a side.

I agree. 2015 to 2018 was probably their best period. They reached 2017 CT semi-final which was their major highlight.

They also won a Test against Australia during that period (in Mirpur).

It’s a shame players like Nasir Hossain, Sabbir Rahman, Soumya Sarkar never got into the next level. At the time thought future was looking good but some of them did well got early fame and endorsements, made some money, got married, life set, got easily satisfied and lost cricketing mindset!

BD invested a-lot in them players mentioned. Sabbir is the biggest disappointment from the 3. Soumya another one. Nasir did blossom in 2012 asia cup till 2013 maybe got booted due to too much competition 2014-2019. But Soumya and Sabbir had been given more time and chances! But still haven’t kicked on. Both distracted off cricket.
 
Hoping the experiment of Mehidy in top order is over. He is a fluke and had two flukey tons at opening. You can use him as a pinch hitter at t20s that’s about it. Number 8 is his right place.
 
Axar is bowling well today after a poor outing in last game
 
Why Bangladesh never improve

depleted teams both playing but Indian depleted team still same level as bd main team such is their bench strength. so for bd it means nothing playing against a depleted team. But for bd, a depleted bd is worse off and not could even lose to a associate.
 
This definitely will be Shakibs last asia cup. Can he finish it with a ton…
 
TBH, Asia Cup is not an important tournament. ICC events are.

But, yeah. This is most likely his last Asia Cup.


Forget icc tournaments. Lets win an asia cup first bro. Asia definitely is important tournament now considering there’s hardly any triangular or quadruple series going around in international odi cricket anymore!
 
Another huge 6 by Shakib off Axar! 16 runs off that over.

That’s the way!
 
BD have 4 spinners today --> Mahedi, Mehidy, Nasum, and Shakib.

Shamim can bowl part-time spin too.
 
After 30overs you double the score, BD 137-4 after 30 so that means BD should get 274 by that logic. I’d be happy with 270-280 and batting the 50overs!
 
lol, trundler Thakur getting mercilessly thrashed.
