Australia [381/5] beat Bangladesh [333/8] by 48 runs in 26th match of 2019 World Cup

[Madplayer]

Fight is an overstatement.
You're supposed to start hitting after the 20th over not the 40th

Pakistan couldnt even score 300 against this aussie attack. At least Bangladesh have done well to smack the Aussies around.

 

[RainMan_]

Even 340/350 would've been chasable. But 380 is way too many.

 

[Madplayer]

BD might lose this game but they have show heart here.

 

[KingKhanWC]

They have good attitude, just don't lack the talent to chase 350. TBH even England would struggle to chase 350, especially against the likes of Starc and Cummins.

They lost the match because of their bowlers, 380 was always out of reach.

India would chase it down easily with overs to spare?

 

[Ronaldo7]

Pakistan couldnt even score 300 against this aussie attack. At least Bangladesh have done well to smack the Aussies around.

If we were chasing 380, we would have definitely crossed 320 at the very least. Plus the pitch we were playing on had something for the bowlers unlike this road.

 

[WengerOut]

Bangladesh has got the second best middle order after Eng.

 

[shah_1]

Bangla boys need to massively work on their bowling after this WC if they are ambitous about being top 4 in the world.

 

[Itachi]

Pakistan couldnt even score 300 against this aussie attack. At least Bangladesh have done well to smack the Aussies around.

Aus vs pak is on different dimension.

Players will be more serious about that match than a match with minnows.

Even India I won't be surprised if they experiment a bit while playing against BD.

 

[RainMan_]

Lol.

Pakistan would easily smack these Bangladeshi trundlers for 360+ and I doubt Bd would come anywhere near chasing it.

Should be an easy win for pak.

Do u know what has happened the last 5 times Pak has played against BD.

We r in a different league.

 

[Madplayer]

If we were chasing 380, we would have definitely crossed 320 at the very least. Plus the pitch we were playing on had something for the bowlers unlike this road.

We shall see when they play against Pakistan. For me, Pakistan winning would be an upset given the form of both teams.

 

[Abdulm123]

Bangladesh smashing and exposing this pathetic trundler attack that pathetic Pakistan were struggling to the core against. And people say this is a minnow team, look at yourself before criticizing others for being pathetic.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

India would chase it down easily with overs to spare?

No, India's batting is weaker than England's.

 

[shah_1]

Stop living in denial

Bangladesh have beaten Pakistan in last 5 ODIs.

 

[Abdulm123]

20 runs next over coming up

 

[Pete Rose]

Just to give you a comparison of who would be batting right now for Pakistan - based on selection
malik and sarfaraz,
malik and hafeez,
hafeez and sarfaraz
haris and hafeez

None of these combos inspire any faith

 

[marlonbrowndo]

BD might lose this game but they have show heart here.

I agree. Unlike shameless Pakistan

 

[Itachi]

India would chase it down easily with overs to spare?

In this pitch, yes.

 

[Hasan2K8]

Mahmudullah needs to go big. Some big hitting needed. Few 20s needed

 

[KingKhanWC]

No, India's batting is weaker than England's.

Shocking revelation.

35 off the last 12 balls will still give them a chance, need to keep the belief, good to see from Bangladesh.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

If we were chasing 380, we would have definitely crossed 320 at the very least. Plus the pitch we were playing on had something for the bowlers unlike this road.

Please just stop

 

[Ronaldo7]

Do u know what has happened the last 5 times Pak has played against BD.

We r in a different league.

Do you know 3 out of those 4 matches happened in 2015??

Tbh I shouldn't even waste my time on you. According to the BD posters here, you're not even Bangladeshi...

 

[KingKhanWC]

In this pitch, yes.

With 20 overs to spare, of course! Jai Hind!

 

[Itachi]

Bangladesh have beaten Pakistan in last 5 ODIs.

Pakistan will beat India even now in bi lateral or Asia cup. WC is a different ball game where pressure plays a crucial role. And against BD, Pakistan will always have upper hand.

 

[KingKhanWC]

he should have picked that slower ball and pulled it for six but not the brightest batsmen Mahmadullah.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

102 off 39, not even ABD can pull it off lol

 

[Itachi]

With 20 overs to spare, of course! Jai Hind!

If GOD wants it, why not.

 

[RainMan_]

94 of 37 required

 

[Ronaldo7]

Please just stop

Stop living in denial

)

I'm not living in denial. It's the truth. There would have been no pressure as the game would have been over hence we would have scored more runs.

If we were chasing 280, I still believe we would have been 240 all out. As we were chasing 300, the pressure was there and we got out on 260 I think.

Before criticising and before acting like saviours of cricket, understand my point.

 

[Syed1]

OK if this onslaught continues for a couple more overs like this then BD will seriously believe

 

[Hasan123]

Decent fight by Bangladesh.

 

[RainMan_]

OK if this onslaught continues for a couple more overs like this then BD will seriously believe

Target is out of reach bud.

 

[Madplayer]

Pakistan will beat India even now in bi lateral or Asia cup. WC is a different ball game where pressure plays a crucial role. And against BD, Pakistan will always have upper hand.

India thrashed Pakistan in Asia cup as well if you remember and that was without Kohli. I am not sure why you are praising Pak just for the heck of it. Pak winning against this in form BD side would be an upset. I can only say that we should wait for their match. Everything will be clear then.

 

[Hasan123]

Australia batting is doing well. Not sure about their 3rd seamer . I like Zampa but maybe time to try Lyon.

 

[WengerOut]

Well on hindsight, Tamim played a beautiful knock for Australia

 

[Madplayer]

OK if this onslaught continues for a couple more overs like this then BD will seriously believe

This target is pretty much out of reach even for a Butler or ABD type batsman but BD should think of it as a realistic target and get as close as possible.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Bangladesh must focus on their bowling for next world cup. Their batting is pretty decent, Soumya and Liton are aggressive which is the right mentality for current time. Their bowling is minnow level, Mustafizur has declined and rest are average to mediocre.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

That's how pakistan should play against australia but...

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Mushi ask for change of bat. Six sixes coming up??

 

[Hasan123]

Lol I don't know how we will beat Bangladesh.

 

[JibranAnsari]

starc to collect some cheap wickets now

 

[Ronaldo7]

That's how pakistan should play against australia but...

I just don't understand pak fans.
When our team gets out early and we lose the match, fans say they should have shown my intent and blah blah.
When they try to show intent but lose then fans say "minnow mentality. Why are pak fans applauding the team for a match they lost"

Wrist slitters are everywhere

 

[WengerOut]

Iam getting vibes of SA v SL test match now. The one which Kusal Perera went berserk

 

[RainMan_]

80 from 5 overs. Too much

 

[Hasan123]

I do not understand why Hazelwood wasnt picked over Berendorff,Coulter Nile , and Kane Richardson.

 

[Ronaldo7]

I am not trolling. I support Pak but we have to be realistic and see the kind of form both teams are in.

Nothing in what you said is "realistic".
This bd bowling attack would most likely get destroyed by pak on a dead pitch. It doesn't matter how good their batting is, if there is 360 on the board they won't chase it.

 

[Madplayer]

2 20 run overs will make it interesting.

 

[dildilpak]

Mannnn, Australia bowling is full of tundlers

 

[RainMan_]

Well played.

350 and we would've won it

 

[Hasan123]

Wicket for Australia.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

They never looked like they are chasing this totals all these knocks are useless.

 

[Madplayer]

You are saying Pakistan will score 360 runs? Thats very realistic given the form Pakistan is in. Apart from that 348 against England, Pakistan have struggled with the bat.

 

[Syed1]

Game over... well played

 

[Madplayer]

Thats the game i'm afraid. Mahmadullah was the only hope.

 

[Hasan123]

Another wicket.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Bangladesh was never in the game from the start

 

[Green Patriot]

Its over for Bangaldesh.
Regardless a good fight and they have done well to cross 300.

 

[Ronaldo7]

You are saying Pakistan will score 360 runs? Thats very realistic given the form Pakistan is in. Apart from that 348 against England, Pakistan have struggled with the bat.

Struggled against better bowling attacks.
Windies were fresh when they played us. Their lack of fitness was visible against bd. If we had played the windies when bd played them I'm sure it would have been a closer game.
Pak have scored 330+ multiple times recently and looking at bd's bowling attack I believe they will score at least 350 if we bat first on a good wicket.

 

[MRSN]

Ronaldo is a delusional Pak fan. He is smoking something when he thinks our pathetic batsmen could chase this who could not hit India's part time medium pacers

 

[dildilpak]

Is there any scenario for Bangladesh to qualify after today’s result?

 

[Mueez]

When teams get a massive total to chase, they often start well but then they somehow always fall short.

 

[Itachi]

So aus had enough of this drama and decided to end early.

 

[RainMan_]

Shabbir Rahman has single handedly lost the match for BD.

Dropped Warner early in the innings, missed an easy run out and now got out for a duck. Lol.

 

[Hasan123]

Hat trick ball.

 

[Hasan123]

When teams get a massive total to chase, they often start well but then they somehow always fall short.

Difficult to keep up with a run rate that high for that long a period.

Do you feel any shame comparing Pak team performance to Bangladesh?is Bangladesh the benchmark for you now?

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Lol I don't know how we will beat Bangladesh.

just one ahead of amir as of now

In my opinion these are just claims which cannot be proved. Would have could have never works.

Pak have scored 330+ multiple times recently and looking at bd's bowling attack I believe they will score at least 350 if we bat first on a good wicket.

Yes they have. Lets wait and watch. I would be happy if they score 350+ again in this tourney.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

LOL kuri Ron wali ae Bangladeshi fans are very emotional

 

[RainMan_]

So aus had enough of this drama and decided to end early.

U seem upset

Don't worry chahall and Kuldeep will get a turning wicket against Eng.

BCCI will make sure of it.

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan vs Bdesh will be interesting a Lumber jack Match loser gets the Minnow title

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

starc to collect some cheap wickets now

just one ahead of amir as of now.

 

[Ronaldo7]

Do you feel any shame comparing Pak team performance to Bangladesh?is Bangladesh the benchmark for you now?

What performance? The only teams they've beaten are SA and Wi. They've been demolished by Eng and Aus.
I don't understand what all this talk is about.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Pakistan vs Bdesh will be interesting a Lumber jack Match loser gets the Minnow title

if im not wrong Bangladesh has unbeaten streak of 5 matches is it?

 

[hb787]

Bangladesh played really well, bette than WI and Pak. They should be proud of this effort.

 

[Sultanofswing]

Mushy playing for century. Not once I saw his intent to win.

 

[Madplayer]

Ronaldo is a delusional Pak fan. He is smoking something when he thinks our pathetic batsmen could chase this who could not hit India's part time medium pacers

There is a fine line between being optimistic and being delusional. Pakistan are scraping the bottom if the barrel in terms of talent while BD's investment in a strong domestic structure is paying off with all these good players who know their repective roles in the team. However, it seems that some people cannot digest the fact that BD is a competent force in world cricket now especially when they come head to head against Asian sides apart from India.

 

[Mueez]

Difficult to keep up with a run rate that high for that long a period.

Yeah, you can either go hard at the end or at the beginning.

However I believe England is the only team who can chase 350+ in a WC match.

They have the luxury of hard-hitting batsmen.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

I just don't understand pak fans.
When our team gets out early and we lose the match, fans say they should have shown my intent and blah blah.

Wrist slitters are everywhere

When did you last time give a rest to your keyboard? Too much negativity. Uff

 

[BDfanforever]

Sabbir Rahman, Rubel Hossain needs to be dropped forever. Mosaddek and Saifuddin were much better.
