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

[Mas-LFC]

Wow! Flicked it for 6 off a slow ball. Great power there! SAIFU!!

 

[light]

Saif Hasan reminds me of Mahmudulla's batting. Very simialr batting style and body structure

 

[sweep_shot]

Another six from Saif. Good shot.

BD - 45/1 (4.4 overs).

 

[Ahmed216]

Saif Hasan reminds me of Mahmudulla's batting. Very simialr batting style and body structure

Almost twice as powerful

 

[Nikhil_cric]

That's the length, Thushara. Guy is generally a floaty trundler when it stops swinging.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Saif has a bit of Abdullah Shafique in him

 

[CricVet]

Wonderful batting BD - lets have a 12-15 run 6th over and then rotate striks mostly with an open field

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

BD ahead in game Right now

 

[sweep_shot]

14 from the over. Good over for BD.

BD - 48/1 (5 overs).

121 to win from 90 balls.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Bangladesh needs to keep going,

 

[light]

Almost twice as powerful

Mamudulla has a better batting technique but I guess this kid will come good with time.

 

[mominsaigol]

Saif has a bit of Abdullah Shafique in him

Their stance is similar. Shot selection, class and talent is miles apart.

Weird that im actually talking about a Bangladeshi player having a higher ceiling then a Pakistani player but it shows how crao Abdullah is

 

[Mesozoic]

Bangladesh have a habit of imploding after a good start to a run chase.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD scored 2 runs in 1st over and 46 runs in the next 4 overs.

Good acceleration.

 

[Ahmed216]

From such a short backlift Saif is imparting so much power. Steely forearms

 

[JaDed]

BD have quite a few hitters.

Jaker, Tanzid, Litton, Emon, Saif etc.

But, they are not always consistent with their hitting.

Yeah their performance doesn't inspire any confidence against top sides..

 

[JaDed]

I think Lanka has started to have a mental block against BD, that feel they can lose to BD, BD on the other hand believes they can win against Lanka, interesting dynamics.

 

[CricVet]

Take one more chance in the over

 

[Nikhil_cric]

SL not learning. Back of length has been very restrictive. But they keep bowling it up looking for wickets.

 

[sweep_shot]

Four.

BD need more.

55/1 (5.4 overs).

 

[JaDed]

Another 4 good PP, well done to BD

 

[YousafTheBeast]

SL might just win the Asia Cup, again.

Bangladesh is winning the Asia Cup.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Brilliant shot to end the power play by Liton Das.

 

[CricVet]

Target achieved. Now just singles and doubles mixed with 4s, BD wins

 

[saabir]

That's a start BD needed. If they manage to play Hasaranga this could go to the wire

 

[sweep_shot]

Another four.

BD - 59/1 (6 overs).

Powerplay is done.

110 to win from 84 balls.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Need to play Hasranga watchfully please

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Great PP for BD.

Now just need to score 70 Runs in next 10 without loosing many wickets

BD will win it

 

[Mesozoic]

Brother Liton gone ..

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

If Bangladesh can handle Hasaranga they've got this chase in the bag

 

[light]

Liton gone - he was in form

 

[CricVet]

Stupid shot - totally unnecessary Pakistani style brain fade

 

[Mas-LFC]

Omg! This moron swiped again and got out he loves this shot but gets out too often. Pathetic by liton

 

[Mesozoic]

And now the real chase starts for Bangladesh.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

If Bangladesh can handle Hasaranga they've got this chase in the bag

Spoke too soon

 

[sweep_shot]

Litton is out.

60/2.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Need to play Hasranga watchfully please

he has Liton already

 

[Mas-LFC]

That’s a poor soft wicket to give away. Hasnt learnt a thing the idiot captain

 

[saabir]

That's a start BD needed. If they manage to play Hasaranga this could go to the wire

This Litton guy is a very talented but a peanut brain. Taking on their best spinner ..all he need to do is to get 1s and 2s and target someone else

 

[nish_mate]

Why brother Liton why? You are the only spark in this dull side...

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Wellalage and Hasaranga key for SL

 

[mominsaigol]

Litton is a good player, wouldn't be surprised if he takes it home for Bangladesh

Just one day @Nikhil_cric all I ask if for god to give me one day.

 

[sweep_shot]

Omg! This moron swiped again and got out he loves this shot but gets out too often. Pathetic by liton

Poor shot.

Hasaranga is a great bowler. Needed to milk him with singles and doubles.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Why brother Liton why? You are the only spark in this dull side...

Cos he’s Hindu?

 

[JaDed]

Atleast he didn't waste balls but needs to do better, simply catch

 

[CricVet]

The most impressive bat in the middle is Tawheed - I have high hopes from him

 

[Mas-LFC]

Liton Das minnow basher useless!

BD needed Tanzid and Liton do score decent amount!

Match over.

 

[nish_mate]

Cos he’s Hindu?

Nope coz hes the only one in the team whos shot making easy on the eye...

But you will inevitably draw your own conclusions

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Bangla brothers may eliminate Pakistan

 

[sweep_shot]

Saif needs to hang in there till the end.

This partnership needs to carry on till 15th over minimum.

 

[CricVet]

The best bat in BD is Tawheed and time will prove it.

 

[sweep_shot]

106 to win from 77 balls. 8 wickets in hand.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Cos he’s Hindu?

Brother you are indeed a beast

 

[Mas-LFC]

Class!! Beautiful shot Saifu! Go my boy!

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Nope coz hes the only one in the team whos shot making easy on the eye...

But you will inevitably draw your own conclusions

Yeah, I don’t believe you.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Tossed up and smashed for six. Every fuller ball has been dispatched.

Hope India execute better if they have to bat first.

 

[sweep_shot]

Another six from Saif. Good shot.

 

[saabir]

Watching Saif bat first time. This guy is a class and can be the future of BD cricket.

 

[sweep_shot]

99 to win from 74 balls.

BD need 2-3 big overs.

 

[Ahmed216]

Saif has a bit of Abdullah Shafique in him

He reminds me of Brendan Taylor

 

[light]

I have heard people speak of Hridoy highly. But each time I see him play, he looks very avg and honestly, doesn't even score much. Whats the hype around him?

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 75/2 (8.3 overs).

94 to win from 69 balls.

 

[nish_mate]

Yeah, I don’t believe you.

It’s okay, belief isn’t everyone’s strong suit.

 

[JaDed]

Yeah a wicket coming soon, good comeback by Lankans.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 75/2 (9 overs).

94 to win from 11 overs.

Need some big overs. RRR is climbing.

Hasaranga has 2 overs left. He is their main bowler.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Others have to back Hasaranga up here, especially Wellalage

 

[CricVet]

I have heard people speak of Hridoy highly. But each time I see him play, he looks very avg and honestly, doesn't even score much. Whats the hype around him?

Has decent average, but good upside. Sometime he likes to do too much with arrogance as you saw in the 9th over.

 

[light]

Bro has 36 wickets after 112 matches, lol. I see him bowling regularly. That's pretty bad man

 

[Ahmed216]

Why young wellalage is playing ahead of Teekshana?

 

[JaDed]

Bad over that for Lankans.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Tawhid Hridoy needs to do more hitting take the pressure of Saif.

 

[light]

Saif slowed down. Is bro playing for his 50 lol

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 82/2 (10 overs).

87 to win from 60 balls.

Drinks break.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Poor shot.

Hasaranga is a great bowler. Needed to milk him with singles and doubles.

Low IQ cricket Das wont ever learn.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Hridoy is a good guy to have in a chase like this. He's not bad at rotating the strike. Probably more cut out for ODI than T20 though

 

[JaDed]

Hasaranga has only two more, need the other bowler to be more disciplined if not BD will run away with it.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Saif slowed down. Is bro playing for his 50 lol

Mate he needs to stay there till the end. he can make it up after

 

[CricVet]

No need to do ANY HITTING - ZERO. BD is pacing well. Just improve timing and rotate until 15th over. Avg of 7- 8 is suffiecient until 15th over.

 

[JaDed]

Low IQ cricket Das wont ever learn.

Who has high IQ in BD team as per you?

 

[Mas-LFC]

Hasaranga has only two more, need the other bowler to be more disciplined if not BD will run away with it.

Need to play Hasranga watchfully which I posted before the minnow basher Das swiped out
