[BDfanforever]

it's better to hear Gautam Bhimani over that annoying Athar.

 

[Bangladesh_Fan]

Bangladesh 144-1 after 25 overs. 300 is on here maybe even close to 350. Sri Lanka in trouble . Tamim is explosive

 

[Executioner]

Bangladesh's golden opportunity to score 330+

 

[Shafi]

Sri Lanka is too weak to compete with Bangladesh. Bangladesh will win this match by at least 100 runs if not more

 

[DRsohail]

Bangladesh's golden opportunity to score 330+

Bangladesh will get their confidence back after this tournament.

 

[hadi123]

A strong batting performance leads Bangladesh to 320-7 from their 50 overs. Tamim Iqbal the highest scorer with 84 with Shakib al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim also scoring half centuries. Will be a tough chase for Sri Lanka.

 

[Bangladesh_Fan]

Sri Lanka 2 down . 43-2

Will SL sack Hatura if they loose all the matches???

Gharon ka sher or Lankan lions actually lost to Zimbabwe at home

 

[Shafi]

Sab gharon ke sher hain

Not really!!! Australia, NZ and South Africa have ability to win against opposition in their home series

 

[Shafi]

Sri Lanka team is finished!!!!! Pakistan team is also heading that way.
Bangladesh will win this tournament without much effort

 

[Raf Pragmatic]

This is very bad.. for sri lanka, very good for Bng.

 

[DHONI_FAN]

Sri Lanka is making this Bangladeshi side look like defending World Champions.... Lol

 

[Raf Pragmatic]

Sri Lanka team is finished!!!!! Pakistan team is also heading that way.
Bangladesh will win this tournament without much effort

Shakib's face tells it all... like what are you thinking?

 

[Raf Pragmatic]

hattrick!!

 

[Raf Pragmatic]

It will be worst defeat Sri Lanka ever have!!

 

[Executioner]

SL fielded poorly and now are batting poorly.

 

[Raf Pragmatic]

This Sri Lanka team would get beaten by Afg U-19 team, in T20 though.

 

[Bangladesh_Fan]

130-7 , Bangladesh dominating this match now

 

[Raf Pragmatic]

Behind!!

 

[Raf Pragmatic]

Thisara to make 200 here!

 

[Raf Pragmatic]

He hit Shakib for 20! Wow!!

 

[Executioner]

The way Shakib has been performing he will definitely end up as the greatest spin bowling all-rounder ever

Good stats in every format

 

[Raf Pragmatic]

Shakib is really awesome player. Must say- the finest Bengali player I've ever seen.

 

[Raf Pragmatic]

Rubel bowls yorker! Waqar will be proud.

 

[Executioner]

In our home I think we can start as favorites against almost any side barring India and maybe England

 

[Raf Pragmatic]

These SL players got no plan! Just get out. Finish it already!

 

[Raf Pragmatic]

How can Sri Lanka make it to the final?

 

[Raf Pragmatic]

Well played Mustafizur, Tamim, Shakib.

 

[Executioner]

How can Sri Lanka make it to the final?

win next match against zimbabwe with a bonus point

 

[shah_1]

Sri Lanka are at the lowest

Feel sad for them

It's a harsh reality for our captain, coach, management and selectors for flying high after whitewashing SL and now this series in NZ showed our real standard.

We won the champion trophy, I'm happy about it but won't change the fact that our team is going through major crisis.

As a follower of Pakistan cricket I agree. Hasan Ali and Shadab are big players but the rest of the players are not doing too much.

Beating Lanka is piece of cake. Same applies to West Indies. That is why I wasn't bothered by those wins by India, SA, Pak against Lanka. They are at their absolute lowest.

 

[Syed1]

It is confirmed now.... Bangladesh is the Australia of 2000s

 

[Pakpak]

It is confirmed now.... Bangladesh is the Australia of 2000s

Painful what is happening to Sri Lanka.

 

[MMHS]

Dominating, clinical performance and a near perfect game. Only dissapointment is that each of top 4 got a start, but none converted in to hundred. 84, 35, 67 & 62 are good scores, but won’t take team to 350+

 

[Raf Pragmatic]

Like you felt India would win both test!!!

Oh that BURRRRRNNN!

 

[Executioner]

Beating Lanka by 163 runs and everyone is like "meh"

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

We need to beat bigger teams in their den,no need to chest thump by beating Sl,Pak,wi or zim in bd den.

 

[Shutdown Corner]

win next match against zimbabwe with a bonus point

Or just beat SL by 13 runs. If they are equal on points and assuming BD wins all 4 games, then surely NRR will decide between SL and ZIM.

 

[Anik Sharma]

Congratulations to Bangladesh

that works too but points come first so it would be a safer bet

 

[Dios]

Too easy for Bangladesh. I think the team was especially fired up today as some of the senior players had issues with Hathurusinghe who didn't have a lot of good words to say when he left Bangladesh.

Batting again is too dependent on the trio of Tamim, Shakib and Mushfiqur who have been carrying the team for 10 years now. Need younger batsmen to step up otherwise Bangladesh may face similar situation that Sri Lanka is facing now.

 

[BDfanforever]

BD is 16-4 in last 20 games at home.

BD have to get rid of seniority culture too.

Why is Mahmudullah coming with 12 overs left? He scored 20 off 20 balls that's below average for a hitter.

Your best hitters are Sabbir and Saif (#9!)

They could've easily got 350+.

Actually Mahmudullah had been quite a god finisher for last few months. He was dropped at one point, but came back strong. Also at 31-32 I don't think he is finished yet, should get the WC 2019 at least. In future, probably 3 players that'll make like difficult for seniors are Afif, Saif & Mossaddek.

We are something like 2-9 on Away and 7-13 if you include Neutral series.

BD lacks good fast bowlers. Senior batsman are doing fine.

 

[Aman]

SL missing Sanga, Dilshan and Mahela.

It's sad to see what's happened to SL since those 3 retired.

The Sri Lankan bowling attack is very weak. NZ are a better batting side than us too.

On a flat track, such as this one where we posted 320 (max we could have gotten was 330), IND-AUS-SA-ENG-NZ - those 5 teams will score 350 minumum and threaten and occaisionaly cross 400. Bangladesh can score maximum 330, no more than that.

But I'd say we are 6th, which is pretty close to our actual ODI rank. Our batting is overall better than WI and PAK. SL and ZIM are the same level, slightly ahead of IRE, with the AFG lagging far behind even the Irish. But WI and probably PAK as well still have the capability of hitting 350 on the right pitches against the right opponents, which is beyond our reach at this moment.

But yes, overall, our batting is decent with Tamim, Mushfiq, Shakib leading the charge.

Actually NZ is 4th with Australia at 5

My opinion. Our batting is better than others though

This sl beat Pak not long ago

Yeah sri lanka pummeled Ind in CT and was beating pak at one stage too.

 

[RainMan_]

Yeah sri lanka pummeled Ind in CT and was beating pak at one stage too.

That very same Are Sri Lanka team got a 9-0 hammering in India and also got pummeled by Pakistan in Pakistan just a couple of months ago.

Fact is, current srilanka team is worse than a minnow right now. I personally believe that our dominating performance against srilanka in the last match doesn't mean much. This srilanka team is worse than a minnow.

 

[Hasan123]

Very sad to see Sri Lanka in this situation.
