[bluevision]

Nevermind guys..you played well. More power to Afgan cricket.

 

[RainMan_]

What a thriller.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

I knew BD would win. Afg wasted too many balls early pn.

 

[Major]

afghnista lost

 

[alized]

Good job PLEASE CELEBRATE BRAVELY AND FLAMBOYANTLY

 

[DeadBall]

Bat goes for 4, does that count?

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Bangladesh win!What a game!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Two heart breaking losses in a row.

 

[RainMan_]

Great fizz still had one over left. Another example of marsh's poor captaincy

 

[Imran Hasan]

What a match!

 

[Major]

good for pakistan.


pakistan needs to beat bangaldesh to reach finals

 

[Gotham Cronie]

Needed 12 off 10 with 5 wickets in hand. Completely choked.

 

[Asif321]

Great stuff by fizz
So it’s gona be Pakistan vs BD semi finals

 

[srh]

Bangla win

 

[K4Kohli]

i feel sorry for Afghan team

 

[KingKhanWC]

Fantastic game of cricket for a Sunday afternoon.

Well done to Bangladesh and unlucky for Afghans.

 

[MMHS]

Congrats to AFGs, even despite the loss - much better planned team of the day.

Every AFG fan should feel proud of their team today.

 

[pillionrider]

Great bowling by Mustafizur. Some of his illustrious Pak counterparts should hang their heads in shame

BD players seemed to have sobered. Not acting nauseating after each wicket.

Lol spoke too soon. One player did the cobra in the huddle after the win

 

[jnaveen1980]

BD's last win in this Asia cup lol They will get canned by Pakistan as usual

 

[RainMan_]

Pls do some snake dance.

 

[DeadBall]

I knew BD would win. Afg wasted too many balls early pn.

Doesn't matter as the runs required from the last over were quite manageable.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Joy Bangla

 

[Gotham Cronie]

good for pakistan.


pakistan needs to beat bangaldesh to reach finals

Afghanistan winning would have been better.

Now India has qualified and can rest players in their last Super 4 Group.

Now if Pakistan lose vs Bangladesh, they are out.

 

[alized]

Cry Afghani cry

 

[BlackShadow]

Well played Afganistan. A side that earned so much respect this tourney.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Needed 12 off 10 with 5 wickets in hand. Completely choked.

Weaker teams always choke against more experienced team. But Afghanistan has to learn from it.

 

[Canford Cliffs]

Congrats BD

 

[Imran Hasan]

Mushi where you have learned that dance!

 

[DeadBall]

Great fizz still had one over left. Another example of marsh's poor captaincy

When did Marsh move to BD?

 

[RainMan_]

Congrats to AFGs, even despite the loss - much better planned team of the day.

Exactly. Thankfully imrul was selected today. We should play soumya against PAK. He always plays well against them.

 

[BlackShadow]

Cry Afghani cry

That's cruel.

 

[MMHS]

Pls do some snake dance.

Relax - that was for SRL. If they start it again, they'll get the answer. Relationship between AFG & BD players/fans are excellent - it should remain like that.

 

[Imran Hasan]

Nevertheless a very good tournament for Afghanistan. Best of luck for the future.

 

[Major]

Afghanistan winning would have been better.

Now India has qualified and can rest players in their last Super 4 Group.

Now if Pakistan lose vs Bangladesh, they are out.

Pakistan wont be losing to Bangladesh.

its an easy walk in to the finals for them

Afghanistan winning could had created problems for Pakistan, because who knows they could go on to defeat India

 

[JaDed]

Congrats BD semis coming up! Good performance by AFG but as expected no experience to win close games.

 

[RainMan_]

Joy Bangla

Joy bangla

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Relax - that was for SRL. If they start it again, they'll get the answer. Relationship between AFG & BD players/fans are excellent - it should remain like that.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh Quarter final...

How do you see it play out?

After seeing Pakistan bat and bowl today, I see not much hope.

 

[Rohit_Beardman]

Admit it Afghanistan was the better team today and they are a better team then Bangladesh

 

[pillionrider]

Relax - that was for SRL. If they start it again, they'll get the answer. Relationship between AFG & BD players/fans are excellent - it should remain like that.

One of your players did it during the celebration huddle

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Pakistan wont be losing to Bangladesh.

India being defeated by Afghanistan??

I know they ran us close but India told us why it happened.

India will steamroll Afghanistan.

 

[RainMan_]

[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] see bro? As I said earlier, now we just need to beat Pakistan to reach the final. I suppose It Won't be that difficult

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Lucky escape for BD. Inexperience of Afghanistan showing.

 

[AuxiliA]

Happy for Bangladesh. They have underachieved in ODis recently.

Well played Afghanistan. They have been the revelation of the tournament. Hyped up for their world cup campaign.

 

[Major]

India being defeated by Afghanistan??

I know they ran us close but India told us why it happened.

India will steamroll Afghanistan.

yeh, but atleast it is confirmed that the afghans are out.

Couldn't leave it to chance.

I always fear that India will some day take revenge of that CT 2009 match, where we lost to Australia on purpose just to kick India out )

 

[BDfanforever]

wow what a game. It was AFG game to loose to be honest. Well played AFG, its good to see another cricketing nation coming through. Our useless players will now have some competition besides ZIM going forward.

 

[Hasan2K8]

What a thriller. Great over there by the Fizz under immense pressure. WELLDONE Team BD. Hard luck Afghanistan you played superb throughout. Goodluck against India

 

[Mainul]

Yahh...we won...I didn't watch the last 2 overs. Had I ,there could have been a massive heart attack.i just heard whether my neighbour was clapping or not. He clapped, I became online and saw we won.

After so many losses after being in a winning position we won from a loosing position this time.I am so happy...

 

[BDfanforever]

Hong Kong is the only team to give IND the most competition)

 

[Major]

[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] see bro? As I said earlier, now we just need to beat Pakistan to reach the final. I suppose It Won't be that difficult

bro, if there is one thing we pakistani's are good at, its minnow bashing

Pakistan could only lose to Bangladesh if we start having brainfarts all of a sudden.
Plus Bangladesh are without some of their main guys.

Pakistan vs India final is coming up.

 

[BDfanforever]

That last boundary by Imrul Kayes basically won the game for BD. Please kick out these useless hacks like Nazmul Shanto, Mithun.

Maybe not

 

[Mainul]

No they are trying to keep calm.

Fizz will finish off now. Relax your boys got this.

You are damn right man

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Congrats Desh! So Pak vs Bangla is a shoot out now.

Commiserations to Afg, they could have easily won both their matches in super 4, in experience made them to choke.

 

[RainMan_]

wow what a game. It was AFG game to loose to be honest. Well played AFG, its good to see another cricketing nation coming through. Our useless players will now have some competition besides ZIM going forward.

LOL, no. They will get destroyed in Mirpur. We didn't have much experience of playing in the extreme heat of UAE before this tournament while IT'S almost like a home ground to AFG. Weather and injury prevented us from playing our A game.

Afghanistan is way way behind us in ODIS.

 

[Savage]

A rare "Close" win for Bangladesh.Their fans must feel very relieved.

I swore I would stopped following BD cricket had they lost today...and they almost did.It's not good for one's health man. I still remember how we lost an easy game against WI in that second ODI.

 

[Major]

yeah, and you guys could even beat IND in final through luck.

well we did it in the CT Final

 

[pakistan cricket fan]

I know Afganistan wil loose when Nabi got out.

 

[Dios]

Great win.

Fantastic stuff from Fizz.

 

[Kashmirilion]

Congrats to my Bangla bhaiyyas and commisserations to afghans. They have competed every game this tournament. What a over by the fizz phenomenonal.

 

[KingKhanWC]

You are damn right man

Your team deserved it, they batted well against the Afghan spinners and then bowled with intelligence.

Hopefully they can build on this and make it another cracker of a game v Pakistan.

They were 89/5 at one stage

Lol what? Not difficult ? With the way BD are playing currently, you can thank your lucky stars that you won the toss and batted first here. Hopefully you can win the toss again and put up 260-270 otherwise it's gonna be all over again .

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Afghanistan lost because of their tuk tuk until 40th over. I knew they wouldn't win in last 4 overs. Any team would struggle to score 42 runs in last 4 overs. Especially when Afghanistan's batting is pretty ordinary, their sloggers can't sustain hitting for multiple overs.

Did u watch the match .. they needed 8 of the last over..

 

[Lion of Khyber]

Congrats Bangladeshi brothers !

Hope we’ve learned a lesson or two from the super 4 matches!

Hopefully our pacers will be back in action by the end of the year so that they have enough time to prepare for the World Cup.

 

[MMHS]

Having patted the back of AFGs, I need to praise our boys as well. Lost best two players from hilarious run-outs, still didn't loose focus and put a good total. Also, had Shehzad been caught early, this win could have been much easier.

Congrats to both teams for putting a great show. Groundsman as well - this was the best wicket of Abu Dhabi, which allowed us to post 249 from that collapse while AFGs were also in the game. On a typical Abu Dhabi wicket, this would have been a rubbish game - BD strolling to 170 ish total, then AFG's winning or losing it after ploughing the wicket with bat.

Let the emotion calm down. He will himself understand that to beat Pakistan on their home ground is a very difficult job. India made it look easy but they are a team of different level. We have super duper batsmen like Shanto,Soumya,Mosaddek in our squad.How it can be easy?

 

[Gotham Cronie]

Pakistan wont be losing to Bangladesh.

Even if Afghanistan beat India, Pakistan would have gone into the Bangladesh match know how many runs/wickets they need to win by to better Afghanistan's NRR.

 

[RainMan_]

We gifted our wickets to Afghanistan. Two of the best players in the world got run out today. Otherwise we would've scored 300. Our players were quite pumped up for today's match. Sadly, we couldn't keep up the momentum due to bad running between the wicket. Then add our horrific team selection, catching and ground fielding with it.

Had we played 50% of our potential, Afghanistan would've been blown away.

 

[MMHS]

Thanks bro. I have few AFG friends here and most of them surprisingly cool - not the most educated people but their manners are praise worthy. And, must say your Kobab is much better than your cricket - absolutely incomparable.

Good luck - next time it might be AFG's tournament.

Do shukria that we didn't get bundled out for 150.

Had they scored 4 more runs, you would have been blown away from PP for sure

Relax, they have improved lot and much more passionate players.

Thanks bro. Nothing wrong with supporting them - I would have been upset, but had they won, deserved that.
