Bangladesh (290/5) hold their nerve to edge Pakistan by 11 runs, clinch ODI series 2–1 at home

[RyanRyan10]

Fantastic decision to bowl first.

Super decision to bowl new ball with Rauf.

Excellent decision to not play an extra specialist spinner in Faisal Akram

Amazing decision to not have picked a spare batter in the squad and now we have picked a wicketkeeper in Ghazi Ghori to replace Shamyl.

Future is in safe hands with the current team think tank and leadership.

You are being sarcastic but this is true

 

[finalfantasy7]

how do you rate saad massod bowling so far

 

[gazza619]

Saad has bowled mostly ordinary balls mixed with a few decent ones and still gone for only 7 runs in 2 overs. That is a beauty of a leggie.

I am really hoping he gives a good performance and is an upgrade to damaad.

 

[imshally81]

300 is on....
Ball is gripping ...not a easy chase

 

[Dhakar Pola]

this s the 4th time in his career tanzid has played 50 balls in a ODI, he has played more that 61 balls only once in his career, so i predict he will be out in next 10-12 balls

 

[BouncerGuy]

Ordinary bowling this... no venom

 

[imshally81]

Salman agha should bowl here

 

[shah_1]

Don't understand why Salman isn't bowling considering he is decent against spin.

 

[imshally81]

Bowled Emm

 

[finalfantasy7]

at last, go on shaheen, why did he run down the track on the first ball?

 

[shah_1]

Two left handers

Bring Salman

 

[shah_1]

Look at the pace of Shaheen

Don't see how will he captain the team next WC

 

[RyanRyan10]

Wicket taker Shaheen

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Saif the village idiot threw his wicket away after wasting balls

 

[Human786]

After toss, the chaet said we would like to get 250 , pitch report said 270-275 par ... at 109/1 in 19 , 280 looks certainly on . Is the game over ?
ps Whole World knows what @BouncerGuy ?

 

[Human786]

I am certain Atar sprays spit when he goes high pitch which is frequent ... 119/1 in 20

 

[adi_62941]

Just checked the domestic stats of ghori and saad. Amazed to see how they are selected.

[Cryin Out Loud]

I hope they’re better in Bangla, because the BD commentators in English are possibly the worst in the region.

 

[RyanRyan10]

Najmul Shanto the momentum killer

 

[Human786]

129/1 in 22

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Tanzid hasan just played his 2nd highest innings in terms of balls faced in ODI

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 130/1 (22.4 overs).

So far so good for BD.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Just turned in, good start by Bangla boys ...
Looks like high scoring wikoot...
Tanzid & shanto sir going well...

 

[Suleiman]

hope BD scores 330+ so we can see a big ton by Maaz. #MaazMania

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Am thnkful our eardrums get some relief as no navjot siddhu or harsha-i-say-a-lot-without-any-substance...

u need to check your eardrums again if you say relief with athar blabbing

 

[Human786]

133/1 in 24

 

[Sachin fan]

Should pick the pace now, good old fashioned ODI cricket though

 

[Human786]

138/1 in 25

 

[RyanRyan10]

Tanzid has scored 4 runs off the last 14 balls he has faced

 

[Rana]

[Dhakar Pola]

this is the 2nd time in his career tanzid hasan has played untill 25th over in his career

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

Where did Raufales pace go?

 

[run-out]

Ball reversing in 26th over?

 

[Human786]

141/1 in 26 --- 300 def on . Game over boyzzz ?

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Tanzid has scored 4 runs off the last 14 balls he has faced

he has already played past his usual due time

 

[Rana]

Ball reversing in 26th over?

Only Pakistan has mastered this art

 

[Dhakar Pola]

25 years old and dont have the fitness to play 22+ overs..shame tanzid

 

[Dhakar Pola]

this is the longest innings for tanzid hasan in Int cricket in terms of balls faced and Time spent on crease

 

[Human786]

153/1 in 28

 

[batandballbattle]

rauf should be sent back to tape ball cricket

 

[Human786]

158/2

 

[BouncerGuy]

Pakistan should be looking to get a Miraz type run out otherwsie it is all crap bowling atm

 

[imshally81]

Gone

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

@10sion bro - where are you? I expected you as your team BD is playing and doing good. Always enjoyed your light hearted posts!

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Touch and go? Could be going down….mayybe

Edit: Nope- that’s out

 

[LordJames]

I wonder what the commentary is like in Bangla? The stadium announcer guy seems pretty fired up ...

 

[imshally81]

Review lost too

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 159/2 (29.4 overs).

BD have slowed down.

 

[Human786]

158/2

Lady in red Tee was pretty happy ... 160/2 in 30 - can Pak chase over 290 ?

 

[daytrader]

I just don't get the obsession with using Rauf and Abrar too early. They're better bowlers in the later part of innings

 

[sweep_shot]

Tanzid is on 89*.

He has slowed down. Is it to get that hundred? He should put team ahead of his milestone.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Bangladesh has had good looking bats for a long time, but few who’d play long innings. Typically used to be a bunch of pretty 15-20 -30 run guys.

That’s changing a bit now it seems.

Like the look of Tanzid, he has some really good shots.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Harris rauf bowling some good ones....is it reversing?

 

[BouncerGuy]

Saad dropped Litton... that could be crucial

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 168/2 (32 overs).

Drinks break.

How much more can BD get? Need at least 280. This seems like a good batting pitch.

 

[sweep_shot]

Saad dropped Litton... that could be crucial

He should've gone with both hands. He tried to catch it one-handed. Rookie mistake.

 

[Devadwal]

They may have the momentum and wickets in hand , but an eventual collapse looks inevitable .

 

[RidiculousMan]

how do you rate saad massod bowling so far

He's an undercooked Cricketer. Bit of a nothing. Bits and pieces right now.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Harris rauf bowling some good ones....is it reversing?

Maybe tiny bit. Will be interesting to see the last 10 overs

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Tanzid is on 89*.

He has slowed down. Is it to get that hundred? He should put team ahead of his milestone.

he has fitness issue, cant play long innings. in pervious ODIs where he played more than 40 balls he slowed down in the end

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Bangladesh should easily defend anything above 290. Otherwise, it'll be considering a complete failure of their bowling. High chases have been impossible at Mirpur post 2014 Asia Cup.

 

[sweep_shot]

He's an undercooked Cricketer. Bit of a nothing. Bits and pieces right now.

Yes. Undercooked is probably the right word.

Good talent but undercooked.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

he has fitness issue, cant play long innings. in pervious ODIs where he played more than 40 balls he slowed down in the end

He's still a very good ball striker and should be backed.

 

[Rana]

Beautiful hundred by Tanzid

Well batted

 

[sweep_shot]

Maiden ODI century for Tanzid. Well played.

BD - 177/2 (33 overs).

 

[Omer2002]

Tanzid looks a talent and Pak dont have much lets see what Mazz and farhan does as it will bea huge target with their pacers

 

[Dhakar Pola]

first 100 for tanzid, he will get out in next 10 balls for sure

 

[Omer2002]

Why is saad masood on surely abrar comes now doesnt he

 

[BouncerGuy]

350 loading

 

[Nikhil_cric]

350 loading

No chance.

 

[sweep_shot]

Good over from Saad. Just 2 off it.

BD - 179/2 (34 overs).

 

[sweep_shot]

350 loading

Don't think so. BD don't have the firepower for 350.

300 maximum. Most likely 280-290.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Stuart MacGill'esque googly.

 

[imshally81]

Good over by Saad

 

[RidiculousMan]

Where's Jaker Ali?

 

[imshally81]

Salman should continue to ball

 

[sweep_shot]

Litton is on 7* from 17. Need to hit out or get out.

 

[sweep_shot]

Where's Jaker Ali?

Dropped from the team I believe. Out of form.
