What's new

Bangladesh [322/3] defeat West Indies [321/8] by 7 wickets in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019

I think, Mash has a target in mind - kept Shakib for later overs rather than trying to get Hope out, now brought Mossadek. Could back fire, because if wickets at hand, WIN can go ballistic & score 170 in last 15 overs. Don't think Mash has set a target much over 275:(

West Indies have played brilliantly, now is T20 mood. I reckon we are chasing 320 +. Dre Russ will fire and Holder has vengeance in his eyes. We need some 145 kph bowlers :facepalm: mustafiz has been a huge liability, very poor record against Hope
 
Platform has been set and now T20 champions will destroy our paper tigers. RIP MP Shaheb and MP’s disciples :faf
 
Poor over by Mustafizur. Over trying bouncer. Walsh has messed up his lines!
 
g'day Peepers....:)...WI off to a cracking start....good run chase in the offing....
Good that BD have choose Liton - dude was all class against us in asia cup finals 2018....i feel guys like Liton, SS from BD, Kusal- SL, pooran, hetmeyer, hope - WI, Azam-Pak, markram - SAF are the new gen champs...to watch out for...

Bangladesh Biman calling :six

I am coming home, I am coming home, tell the World I am coming home :bravo
 
WTH are they doing banging it half way through!!

Captain needs to get his inspirational team talks together here or this is lost!!!
 
There’s no venom in the middle overs. This is where Rubel is vital for BD. Rubel probably has taken more wickets than any BD bowlers between 15-40 since 2015 WC!
 
This kid Shimron is special - 4 centuries and all winning effort. We had to get him out early:(
 
Bangladesh have lost it last 3/4 overs. Captain looks like himself hiding somewhere the bowlers dishing out pies.. Mustafizur has been ultra rubbish
 
Looks like there is nothing on the pitch!!!! No way 270 is a par score. May be 320-330 is chaseable.
 
This is why I am against bowling first. There is no advantage to bowling first in this tournament. The average degrees of swing and seam have been exactly the same for both first and second innings. Mash should have batted first. Even after that slow start, Windies are looking good for a big total.
 
Lets organise a Zimbabwe home tour for a banglawash and make Miraz, Mashrafee, Mustafiz, Shafiuddin a superstar again
 
Freaking hell!! That went into the moon and back! Great catch by Tamim

Hetmyer gone Bowled by the Fizz
 
Great over from Mustafizur. Hetmyer and Russell both back in the pavilion.

Shocking batting by Russell though. You could see there was a cutter coming from a mile off. The bowler didn't even try to hide it, he was gripping it like an off-spinner even during his delivery stride. Still, Russell didn't pick it.
 
Small ground, short boundaries on many sides. Bangladesh need to finish off bowling well and keep them under 310.
 
Russell's six against Zampa was 103 meter. so i guess this six by Holder has to be the longest of CWC 2019
 
Masrafe is bad bowler at the death he should finish off before 42/43 over. But he will stubbornly bowl at the death and get tonked.
 
Looks like WI will not able to play full 50 overs. Unless its flat pitch both Gayle and Russel cannot perform.
 
Why did he do that? - Shannon Gabriel.

This lines comes up to my mind whenever I see him.
 
West Indies for all their supposed decline and dominance of athletics now in the islands still throw up such oodles of natural talent with supreme athleticism its not funny.
 
Left arm seamers enjoy English conditions even with Kookaburra. With Duke they can even be more potent. Fiz is doing a decent job.
 
The good thing about batting first is that average teams can make 250 plus despite being 125 for 5. Same score while chasing 300 plus is game gone
 
Nope. Even india, aus, nz cant chase 300+ in WC. England might do if it's buttler day.

Depends on the bowling side.
If the bowling side consists of free bees like Hasan, Wahab any top team can win.
WI lack of quality bowlers may loose this match if Sabit and Soumo fires
 
Here we go again lol Athar Ali Khan is still talking about how Tamim was batting in 2007 world cup. Come on that is 12 years back. Game changes, form changes. He cannot still play exactly like that. Now he is senior. has to be more responsible.

Lol. You are not following WI matches. WI bowlers are very good specially cottrell and ohsane.
 
I think, 315-320 on this ground isn't that big a total considering PAK was well in the game chasing 308 until Imam touched a leg side wide. Today WIN is missing a spinner as well, therefore we are not absolutely out of the game, but batsmen have to play really well. Not disappointed with bowlers because Hetmyer played an absolute blinder, can't complain.

Have to quit today - Monday mornings are not for cricket :(

That’s the only notable knock of Tamim in World Cup, I don’t know why invite Athar Ali to commentate when we have Shamim Chowdhoury :odoyo

I back INdia to chase 300 against Windies. Only last year they chased 327 in 42 overs with 8 wickets in Hnad. Rohit sharma loves WI bowling. 152 not out. Kohli got a 100 as well.
