What's new

Bangladesh (112/3) cruise to a dominant 7-wicket win over Pakistan (110) in the opening T20I of the series

We can only expect to win matches against C/D teams not main team whether in test, ODI or T20 with or without Babar/Rizwan. This team went downhill this low unfortunately.
 
Why don't Pakistan select Sufiyan? :inti

He gets benched a lot.
Possibly because he is Kashmiri , not high enough in state ranking for selection. Otherwise how could you justify playing TTF Nawaz over him, whas done nothing special even in domestic recently to be selected.
 
Jaker is using an RNS bat. Brings back memories. I used to have this bat 20 years ago (got it as a gift from a relative; he used to play club cricket).

I don't see these bats much anymore.
 
BD DJ is playing patriotic songs. BD's equivalent of "Dil Dil Pakistan".

To be honest, I don't like DJ in cricket. I prefer it to be quiet. :inti
 
Poor captaincy from Salman not bowling Salman for moreovers earlier on, him and Abbass only bowler were likely to take wickets.
 
Chalo, hopefully the worst performance is out of the way, they will do better in next matches.
 
Salman Ali Agha is going to turn out to be another Babar Azam as captain. Slow, reactive, go with the flow, clueless team selections, bowling changes and field placements. Islamabad United's fortunes sank in the PSL when he replaced Shadab as captain
 
Seems like we were caught cold on a typical two paced Mirpur pitch. Probably a more conservative approach is needed in these conditions than Hessball (or whatever you want to call it).

Yes. They went at it hard. England also made the same mistake when they toured here last time (England lost the T20 series 0-3).

Over here, batters have to be a bit more watchful. 140-150 is a good total here.
 
Pakistani spinners were very ineffective in comparison to the Bangladeshi spinners. Sure, dew became a factor in the second innings but our selectors keep ignoring the fact that our spin stocks are at an all time low, bits and pieces spinners like Saim Ayub, Nawaz, Salman Agha, Khushdil who keep getting selected for bolstering the batting are not going to cut it. The criminal exclusion of Sufiyan Muqeem cannot be tolerated anymore. Abrar is irrelevant and doesn't count.
