What's new

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

Congratulations to all Bangladeshi posters here. Credit to Fiz and the batters

While most people are focussing on tomorrow’s game against India, both Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are more than capable of beating Pakistan given our inept batting.

Cannot afford to take any team lightly
 
BD and SL can always beat each other in white ball cricket. They are similar in ODI and T20.

In Test cricket, SL are better.
Bun test. Idgf about that outdated format. But yes agree, and said on other threads theres nothing much between them sides 6-10 in t20s. But some indian trolls will always try to say otherwise!
 
Best match of this Asia cup by far. BD chased superbly. Saif Hassan gave them the start they needed. Tawhid carried it on tremendously. Made it nervy in the end but won it that matters

SRL is still much superior team. We have yet to achieve 1/100 of what SRL achieved in history not even looking back just couple of years ago.
 
Bangladesh definitely in a great position now, and immense pressure on Sri Lanka.

Seems like whoever gets hyped by Indians as the second best Asian teams, proceeds to get humiliated :yk
Usman for these conditions can't believe sri lanka have no good spinner than hasranga they got the reality check today sri lanka needed someone better than wellage just not good enough.
 
He has been celebrating with some Nice Pork Chops. Oink Oink!! :vk2

SL still Superior team than BD in what ways?


Last two years 2024-2025 thus far. BD v SL played 9 T20 internationals. The result is 5-4 to BD.

Last two years they played 6 ODI’s it’s 3-3.

Far from being superior. Both are quite similar, equal. Of cause the Lankan history is far better, superior and will continue to be unless Bd wins cwc, ct, world t20 and many asia cups! To come nearZ No one doubts that. No need to keep bringing their history up to undermine BD win and recent years good domination over Lanka in T20s
 
You guys need to find a solution for Athar Ali. That dude is not international commentary standard by any means.
Athar Ali Khan a true patriot, supporter of BD. Nothing wrong with that. Long may her continue to serve BD in commentary. 😊
 
Not saying overall,rather current status

Their history goes back to just 2 years ago lol. They are the defending T20 Champion in Asia Cup.
 
They are Asia cup champion just 2 years ago, and was even finalist in the last edition.

Last 10 T20s between BD and SL, BD won 5 and SL won 5.


So, last 2-3 years, BD and SL have been equal in T20 format. Even in ODI format (just checked).

 
Yes, BD is improving their T20 game. No doubt about that. But BD fans life would be fulfilled if we can achive even 1/100 of what SRL has achieved.

I think you are overrating this current SL side. LOL.

BD knocked SL out of 2024 World T20.
BD finished ahead of SL in 2023 WC.
BD made it to CT 2025 and SL didn't.
BD beat SL today.

Since 2023 Asia Cup, SL have been underperforming. 2023 Asia Cup was the last good tournament for SL (where they reached the final).

Yet, after all of that SRL is still ranked higher than BD in all formats. They are #4 now in ODIs.
 

Bangladesh Edge Sri Lanka in Last-Over Thriller to Open Super 4s​

Bangladesh began their Asia Cup 2025 Super 4s campaign with a heart-stopping four-wicket victory over Sri Lanka , sealing the chase with just one ball to spare.

Opting to bowl first, Bangladesh struck early but struggled to contain Sri Lanka’s middle order once captain Dasun Shanaka found his range. After a measured start, Shanaka launched a counterattack, hammering an unbeaten 64 from only 37 deliveries. He shared a brisk 57-run partnership with Charith Asalanka and added a further 32 with Kusal Perera, helping Sri Lanka post a competitive 168 for 7. Mustafizur Rahman was the pick of the Bangladeshi attack, finishing with excellent figures of 3 for 20.

Bangladesh’s reply began shakily when Tanzid Hasan fell in the opening over, but Saif Hassan and Litton Das steadied the innings with a 59-run stand. Litton’s dismissal for 23 brought Towhid Hridoy to the crease, and together with Saif, he kept the chase on course. Saif’s composed 61 off 45 balls and Hridoy’s fluent 58 off 37 looked set to take Bangladesh home before late wickets injected tension into the finish.

With scores level and one run required from the final two deliveries, Nasum Ahmed nudged a single to spark celebrations in the Bangladeshi camp. Saif Hassan’s calm half-century and pivotal partnerships earned him the Player-of-the-Match award, giving Bangladesh a dream start to the Super 4s and setting the tone for an enthralling next phase of the tournament.
 
There is no way Pakistan with this atrocious team would beat this full strength Bangladesh team.

If i am not wrong pakistan beat Bangladesh 3 nil in pakistan i understand conditions are different here though

Pakistan are favorites against both BD and SL.

But, it is T20. So, anything can happen. I hope we will see some good games. :inti

I mean that's fine and all, no one is saying don't be patriot. All the commies are patriot to their own country but this dude isn't a good commie. I have listed to Tamim's commentary before - his voice and accent is much better. BD has one of the highest population on planet earth, there must be 1-2 good commentators from the country other than Athar Ali.
 
May be. But it's the occasion to praise him man . Why you are raising other issues. Poor attitude from you ya.. :vk1

OK. :vk1

Anyway, I don't think Kohli is a role model. Kohli behaves like an animal. I want BD players to behave like civilized human beings while playing well (someone like Mustafiz).

I am someone who believes cricket is supposed to be a gentlemen's sport and lunatics shouldn't ruin this beautiful sport. :inti

Anyway, like you said, we shouldn't talk about these today as BD won. So, I am refraining.:inti

Athar is the best BD got as of now.

Tamim Iqbal is another option but I am not sure if he is interested to be a full-time commentator.

Other than these two, nobody is good enough or nobody is interested. :inti

Also, Athar has been the flagship BD commentator for around 20 years. I don't think he is going anywhere, unless he retires.
 
Who cares about Babar and Rizwan. We are talking about current team and current Asia cup. Get your head of the sand.
Looks like I hit a nerve didn’t I?

You’ve been constantly belittling this team because you are missing your two love birds

You don’t fool anybody!

You’re an idiot of highest order. You have zero cricket knowledge and zero cricket sense. You keep saying the same thing like a broken record. I have several posts over here in near past where I have said that they shouldn’t be in the T20 team in their present form. Show me one post where I have asked they should be returned?
My issue which I have stated several times and would mention it again so idiots like you can understand (chances are very slim though) is that Babar and Rizwan were part of the problem not the problem! And this team is even mediocre than the previous team. You guys are going gaga over the new players and new approach when nothing has changed. Sunil Gavaaskar equated this team to a local town’s team, that’s how bad this team is.
 
Who would you bring in to help alleviate these concerns you have regarding the Pakistan side?
First be realistic, the current team isn’t anything special. It’s not a start of a new era and cut this 12/16 wins crap! I’ll drop Harris, Farhan and Agha. They are not cut for International cricket. I’ll have Saim and Fakhr as openers. I know Saim is struggling but willing to give him a longer rope.
 
@sweep_shot @mominsaigol

What an easy victory for Sri Lanka. :yk :inti

With all due respect me and @jeeteshssaxena have made up so I'd rather not engage in your beef.

I'm happy to disagree and debate him in a respectful manner if I find he states something I disagree with but I'm no longer going to insult him or even insult his or anyone else arguments cause saying things like

Joke of an argument
This argument is crap etc etc is also an insult.

Over the past year I have said things I regret, and even though he let bygones be bygones, I am still filled with sone regret.

So the least I can do I make PP a peasant experience for others atleast when it comes to interacting with me.

Also brother hatred aside, his comment was a prediction and even I believed Sri lanka would win. No one predicted Bangladesh would surprise us given their track record. I dont see why we make fun of someone for that?

On PP im known to fail every prediction?
