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

[shah_1]

Shaheen is a proper trundler

Should be removed from captaincy at all cost. Any decent batsman will spank him all over the park

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Just wait and watch and let me know once the match is over

Na kar roza hai

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Sir Faheem will have to bowl the 50th over

Do not understand how he keeps getting selected in every game. Free Ride

 

[Kianig89]

Do not understand how he keeps getting selected in every game. Free Ride

[finalfantasy7]

Just wait and watch and let me know once the match is over

why dont you just tell me how you came to that conclusion,

ive watched the whole bowling innings so far, wont be watching pakistan bat - as ive got a tennis match in 1hr time

 

[sweep_shot]

Rauf has bowled well today. Mixed it up well.

3 wickets for him.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Faheem bowling the last over?

 

[finalfantasy7]

Rauf has bowled well today. Mixed it up well.

3 wickets for him.

he came back very well in his 2nd spell, first spell, he was expensive, poor bowling lines

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 282/5 (49 overs).

Great over from Rauf. 5 off it.

 

[Hellion]

Wow. Haris Rauf is performing. I expect him to play the next World Cup

 

[Rana]

Taipya has 236 international white ball wickets

 

[jnaveen1980]

Wow. Haris Rauf is performing. I expect him to play the next World Cup

Against world no.10 ranked team

 

[shokz1408]

I thought Bangladeshi fans would turn up for their home matches, I was surprised to see 90% empty stadium.

 

[Hellion]

Against world no.10 ranked team

Doesn't matter. He should continue playing till 2027 South Africa

 

[sweep_shot]

BD finish at 290/5 after 50 overs.

Pakistan need 291 to win.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

290 to win

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Very silly closing by BD.

 

[sweep_shot]

I thought Bangladeshi fans would turn up for their home matches, I was surprised to see 90% empty stadium.

Ramadan time.

Ramadan is more important than cricket.

Better to pray taraweeh than to chill at the stadium.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

So Pakistan done well in the end to keep them under 300 otherwise it looked like they should've got 320 as they did so well initially.

 

[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.

No excuses not to win this now that they have reached the magical 290 mark

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

I think my will be a case of Pakistan losing it.

 

[Blackbradman]

Pitch seems to have slowed down a bit.

 

[hur rizvi]

From what little I watched Saad masood looks really undercooked as a bowler

 

[Usman Chadda]

No excuses not to win this now that they have reached the magical 290 mark

They will, this Pakistan batting couldn’t make this much despite having a great launchpad batting first last game.

 

[Blackbradman]

Tanzid innings was special on this wicket

 

[Blackbradman]

From what little I watched Saad masood looks really undercooked as a bowler

Bangladesh batsmen are too soft on him. He would have gone for >9 runs per over against higher ranked teams.

 

[khyberlion]

It seems too much on this pitch.

 

[sweep_shot]

It seems too much on this pitch.

I say it is par.

It is 50-50 at this stage. Can go either way.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

I’m making excuses in advance for Ghazi Ghori. He shouldn’t be expected to perform against brother teams. Wait till he plays us kaffirs…

 

[run-out]

I thought Bangladeshi fans would turn up for their home matches, I was surprised to see 90% empty stadium.

Ramadan?

 

[khyberlion]

I say it is par.

It is 50-50 at this stage. Can go either way.

Let's hope for a close game. But I think it's too much already on this pitch.

 

[GudduBadmash]

Giving Maaz just 1 over here after what he did last game is just clueless captaincy. Wonder which spinner they are trying to protect here

Has to be either Saim or Shadab

The normal thought process is to let the young kid build up more confidence

 

[hur rizvi]

Wow. Haris Rauf is performing. I expect him to play the next World Cup

I would have him on Aus/Sa pitches. Pakistan don’t have great options

 

[batandballbattle]

bangla should have got about 30-40 more but this will still be a tough chase

 

[Nikhil_cric]

I would have him on Aus/Sa pitches. Pakistan don’t have great options

Limited sample but his 2nd highest bowling average is in Saffer conditions.

 

[hur rizvi]

Limited sample but his 2nd highest bowling average is in Saffer conditions.

That’s just based on one series I think. In Aus he’s been pretty good both in internationals and big bash..

He may not be great but given the options Pakistan have he should be there unless Pakistan unearths some good bowlers…

 

[shaz619]

Will we see a signature hundred from Rizwan against Bangladesh today

 

[Josh]

This lad Haris Rauf bowls well, a serious prospect for future. Must be tried against India in South Africa

 

[shah9425]

Will be tough to chase

 

[TeymurBlake]

Will there be dew?

 

[sweep_shot]

he came back very well in his 2nd spell, first spell, he was expensive, poor bowling lines

Yup.

Without Rauf's 2nd spell, BD could've gone past 300. Rauf was economical during death overs.

 

[RyanRyan10]

Haris Rauf and Faheem Ashraf prevented BD from getting to 300

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Time for Maaz and Farhan to show some spine

2 off the first ball by Farhan

 

[Thephenom]

First two games were won by batting first, yet Shaheen opts to bowl in a deciding game, we do this to ourselves every time

 

[Ball Blazer]

Ban winning 2-1

 

[sweep_shot]

Farhan is out.

PAK - 6/1 (0.5 over).

 

[DRsohail]

Farhan is out.

PAK - 6/1 (0.5 over).

Congratulations on winning a very dull but important series fir BD.

 

[Omer2002]

Ban winning 2-1

I already said that but people here doubt things

 

[castortroy]

What is this pak team? Lol

Battle of the minnows

 

[sweep_shot]

Congratulations on winning a very dull but important series fir BD.

Game is not over yet.

 

[sweep_shot]

Six from Maaz. Great shot.

 

[DRsohail]

Game is not over yet.

If you think that this bating line up can chase 290

 

[sweep_shot]

If you think that this bating line up can chase 290

Never say never.

 

[sweep_shot]

Maaz is out too.

PAK - 12/2 (1.5 overs).

 

[Energy]

Another 100 score coming up. 2 in 3 games.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Game over fot Pakistan

 

[castortroy]

Pak cricket is actually finished

 

[Energy]

Iftari k baad kon khelta hai yaar.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rizwan to score a 150 ball 100.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Iftari k baad kon khelta hai yaar.

They're already hungry again

 

[Usman Chadda]

Never say never.

This will be a sub 100 score, we have no batting talent in our country at the moment

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Rana giving Maaz a verbal volley after that wicket.

 

[sweep_shot]

PAK - 16/2 (2 overs).

 

[Kianig89]

16/2 ,as expected we are struggling

 

[JaDed]

Bangladeshi giving send offs to Pakistanis lol

 

[Kianig89]

Farhan has too many limitations @Raja Ishtiaq @RizwanT20Champ

 

[Sachin fan]

Ramadan time.

Ramadan is more important than cricket.

Better to pray taraweeh than to chill at the stadium.

Blind superstition runing another good real life thing.

 

[Kianig89]

Ghazi Ghouri already in hot waters facing Nahid Steyn

 

[khyberlion]

Farhan being a failure as expected. Such a limited batsmen.

 

[Human786]

This game is over unless Bang boys collapse to under 270 from here ...194/2 in 36

Will the heartthrob of visitors win this game on his own ... no 17/3

 

[Rana]

Nummmmbaaaa Foooow

 

[sweep_shot]

Rizwan is out too. Clean bowled.

PAK - 17/3 (2.5 overs).

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rizwan to score a 150 ball 100.

Riz says NO and he departs

 

[Rana]

Ghazi Ghouri already in hot waters facing Nahid Steyn

Rizwan Dravid struggling too

 

[khyberlion]

Rizwan the tail ender gone. Can we get rid of him. Debutant Ghazi has looked more assured in defense then him.

 

[gazza619]

Wow Bangla brothers have proper pace battery

 

[Kianig89]

Rizwan also done

 

[Rana]

Thank You Taskin

Love you jaani

 

[khyberlion]

Wow Bangla brothers have proper pace battery

They have much better fast bowlers then us.

 

[Mainul]

Oye oye...
