Bangladesh (169/6) defeat Sri Lanka (168/7) by 4 wickets in a nail biting encounter of Super Four stage of Asia Cup 2025

[sweep_shot]

Need to spice things up a bit

LOL!

BD-SL games are no longer dramatic. They have calmed down.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Questionable captaincy by Liton Das. Your main premier bowler Taskin must bowl with the new ball, first over or 2nd to set the tone for the team. Instead he bowled Shoriful who is serving pies

 

[CricVet]

gone

 

[Mas-LFC]

TASKIN!!! Breaks the partnership

 

[Usman Chadda]

One helluva crowd tonight too

 

[CricVet]

Get Mendis, and BD is back!

 

[LegendAli]

Wow the Bangaladeshi fans showing up hard, easily beat the other countries crowds thus far in Asia Cup including India and Pak.

 

[sweep_shot]

First wicket.

SL - 44/1 (5 overs).

Lots of Bangladeshis living and working in UAE.

 

[followed]

Kusal mendis is so good against spin bowling. Pakistan team should learn a thing or two from him.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Some bd fans are doing Nagin on fall of that first wicket. Is this sl ban rivalry still on ?

 

[Mas-LFC]

why is this daft idiot bowling 3 overs of spin in PP on this surface. Complete moron. LDK!

 

[sweep_shot]

SL - 53/1 (6 overs).

Powerplay is done.

 

[Mas-LFC]

SL got good start!

 

[Mas-LFC]

Mustafizur get behind the stumps hala khet!

 

[sweep_shot]

Mendia scored 32 out of SL's 55.

Need to get Mendis out quickly.

 

[CricVet]

BD is doing well now

 

[CricVet]

Something has to give now

 

[Ali Active]

Mishara creating pressure

 

[CricVet]

Mendis Goes as well

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Mendis gone

 

[sweep_shot]

Kusal Mendis is out.

Big wicket.

 

[CricVet]

Good Job BD to keep your senses.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Yes! Sheikh Mahedi gets Kusal Mendi!

 

[CricVet]

RR below 8 -

 

[Mas-LFC]

Lanka has many left handers in the XI. Great choice to include Mahedi Hasan! Wanted him to be in

 

[sweep_shot]

SL - 60/2 (8 overs).

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Naagin Derby

 

[LongHorn]

Yes, but that is precisely why Shoriful should not have started as well

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Rajapaksha Vidana Pathiranalage Kamil Mishara is playing horrible…

 

[light]

One thing i've noticed with this BD side, their fielding is much better. I guess young legs does make a difference

 

[Usman Chadda]

Middle overs are difficult here, only dew makes things easier in the second innings.

 

[CricVet]

Lear Pak from SL - Rotate when struggle to hit

 

[CricVet]

out

 

[sweep_shot]

SL - 65/2 (9 overs).

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Rajapaksha Vidana Pathiranalage Kamil Mishara is playing horrible…

Gone

 

[sweep_shot]

Mishara is out.

65/3.

 

[light]

Mahedi is one of the leading wicket takers during powerplay that is why. @light

I guess you had a point. 2 wickers already

 

[jnaveen1980]

Indian women chasing 412 against Australia going at 8.38. SL in T20 going at 7.00 lol That summarizes the quality.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Lear Pak from SL - Rotate when struggle to hit

Setting totals here is extremely difficult. With dew not playing as much role due to early start, teams can sort of target 170-180 though.

 

[Ahmed216]

412 in WODI? It must be the best pitch ever prepared

lol what?

You’re comparing Australia W to Bangladesh men’s bowling?

 

[Ahmed216]

Rajapaksha Vidana Pathiranalage Kamil Mishara is playing horrible…

He's as bad as some of the current Pak batsmen

 

[light]

I just looked at tomorrow's schedule ... It's BD vs PAK??? Why are BD playing back to back games?

 

[CricVet]

Setting totals here is extremely difficult. With dew not playing as much role due to early start, teams can sort of target 170-180 though.

At least 160 - 180 would be too good to put pressure and not easy to get.

 

[jnaveen1980]

lol what?

You’re comparing Australia W to Bangladesh men’s bowling?

In terms of entertainment value Mandana's 125 in 63 balls is definitely more entertaining than tehse teams plodding along at pedestrian pace. Crap pitch. Crap batting.

 

[Ahmed216]

I just looked at tomorrow's schedule ... It's BD vs PAK??? Why are BD playing back to back games?

India vs Pak it is

 

[YousafTheBeast]

He's as bad as some of the current Pak batsmen

Babar and Rizwan aren’t currently in the team.

 

[sweep_shot]

SL - 72/3 (10 overs).

 

[Ahmed216]

Babar and Rizwan aren’t currently in the team.

Of course. It's Sahibzada Haris Agha etc

 

[sweep_shot]

I just looked at tomorrow's schedule ... It's BD vs PAK??? Why are BD playing back to back games?

Tomorrow is IND vs PAK.

However, BD have back to back games later for some reason.

 

[Usman Chadda]

At least 160 - 180 would be too good to put pressure and not easy to get.

Yep, but getting there in Dubai is difficult against quality spin bowling. It’s not the spin but the inconsistent bounce along with the spongy nature of the wicket.

 

[sweep_shot]

SL - 78/3 (11 overs).

Need 2-3 quick wickets.

 

[jnaveen1980]

412 in WODI? It must be the best pitch ever prepared

Delhi ground. Arun Jaitley stadium. In the world cup SA made 425 or something . SL scored 370 or something in reply.

Delhi used to be sluggish back in the day. Must be relaid. Wonderful job done

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Who is this commie? Keeps bringing up Indian players for no reason.

 

[CricVet]

Yep, but getting there in Dubai is difficult against quality spin bowling. It’s not the spin but the inconsistent bounce along with the spongy nature of the wicket.

Exactly - 180 will be a dream come true and probably only Pakistani jazbati-style brainless bowling can't save it at times.

 

[Mas-LFC]

should have kept one Mahedi over for bit later when kamindu or aslanka comes

 

[jnaveen1980]

Delhi used to be sluggish back in the day. Must be relaid. Wonderful job done

They relaid for 2023 world cup. Ever since this has been a good batting track. But England somehow managed to lose to Afghanistan there.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Excellent spell from Mahedi. Highly underrated off spinner

 

[sweep_shot]

SL - 83/3 (12 overs).

Mahedi is done with his quota --> 4-0-25-2.

 

[CricVet]

SL is on pace to get 160-170 unless they throw away the game in the last 5 overs.

 

[sweep_shot]

should have kept one Mahedi over for bit later when kamindu or aslanka comes

I think it is better to finish off spinners quota.

Easier to hit spinners later on.

 

[Devadwal]

Islam is pathetic . Come back to Bowl and smashed for a six

England's slide is horribe when they start playing badly in tournaments especially in Asian conditions.
The depressed players just want to fly back home quickly.

 

[sweep_shot]

Huge six from Shanaka.

Shoriful has been poor today.

 

[sweep_shot]

Shoriful is a pathetic useless garbage bowler!

He is a good bowler. Having a bad day today.

However, I think he should bowl more slower deliveries. Pace is not good on this pitch.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Yea.. They need to pick an all season team like they need players to play on turning tracks as well. That is why Ben DUckett is there for them. But they need a middle order enforcer against spin.

 

[CricVet]

what the heck? the guy did not attempt to catch - lost in the lights?

 

[sweep_shot]

He is a good bowler. Having a bad day today.

However, I think he should bowl more slower deliveries. Pace is not good on this pitch.

4th ball was a slow delivery. Shanaka struggled to hit that.

BD pacers should bowl slow a lot.

2nd ball was pacy and it went for six.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Fizz didnt attempt to catch that. Absolutely khet fielder. More than a decade of cricket hadn’t improved fielding. All the crores he made from ipl still hasnt gained any body mass! Skeleton was worried if he dived he would snap or what

 

[LongHorn]

Shamim needs an over instead of Shoriful bowling a 4th

 

[sweep_shot]

SL - 93/3 (13 overs).

Mustafiz should've gone for that catch. Bad fielding.

 

[sweep_shot]

Shamim needs an over instead of Shoriful bowling a 4th

Shamim was smashed by Afghan batters last game.

I don't think Shamim should bowl. Shoriful is okay but he needs to bowl slower deliveries.

 

[sweep_shot]

7 overs to go.

Mustafiz has 3 overs
Shoriful has 1 over
Nasum has 1 over
Taskin has 2 overs.

 

[sweep_shot]

7 overs to go.

Mustafiz has 3 overs
Shoriful has 1 over
Nasum has 1 over
Taskin has 2 overs.

Should bowl out Nasum after this over.

 

[Imran Hasan]

Need to break this partnership asap!

 

[CricVet]

Good t20 safe shot by parera

 

[CricVet]

out? probably not

 

[sweep_shot]

Kusal Perera is given out.

Review time.
