Bangladesh beat Afghanistan by 7 runs in 1st ODI

We desi people are weird, when India is playing BD-PAK fans get united. When Pakistan is playing BD-IND fans get united and when Bangladesh is playing IND-PAK fans get united. LOL
 
People want to see Afghan cricket up.

More than that, they actually has played really well today. Hitting here & there or getting few lucky wickets for an upset in one thing, but today so fer they have out played BD in every aspect & batting really, really well.
 
If Afghanistan can get rid of their Captain, who is the worst in the team and get in another player like these two they will become even better
 
These 2 look like they'd be good test players. Solid defense, singles and the ability to score boundaries as well.
 
Chalo atleast they don't play with Misbah/Azhar strategy of aiming to get 10 rpo in the last ten.
 
and what about bangla cricket ? :yk

The fans have started to get a bit annoying. Even earlier they were still claiming Afghanistan would be lucky to get anywhere remotely close to this total due to Bangladesh's 'world class's bowling attack. :uakmal
 
Don't worry Bangla fans, it happens. U guys r playing after a long break..... Ur players were a bit rusty on the field too
 
Afghans batting really well.

How many points does Bangladesh lose for defeat?

I read somewhere on the forum that for every defeat BD loses 3 rating points. No sure how true that is.

But they will definitely lose alot of points even if they drop 1 match since Afghanistan is number 10 or 11.

Oh so you switched over to India to make it easier to accept this defeat :kakmal
 
Been a decent partnership between these two but a few too many dots.

They have plenty of wickets in hand and these remaining runs ought to be knocked off in last ten overs unless BD bowl well at the death overs.

They are only 2 down, why aren't they going hell to leather??? :danish
 
I may be wrong. 265 seems to be too much a total for Afghanistan.But i will be happy if we get a competitive match here.
Like I hoped this has certainly been an enterprising display from the Afghans.Really good display. Just goes to show the need for them to play more matches against tougher opposition because they are developing by leaps and bounds.
Also it will in d longer run prove to be healthier for international cricket. Way to go!!
 
Bangladesh would lose 4 rating points if they lost this game putting them on the same rating as WI.

While Lankans don't give a damn :))
 
I think, Afghans got their calculation a bit wrong - now the rule has changed to 4 fielders in last 10. They should have just about 5 runs ahead; still even match.

Wow that is a huge hit.

I don't think Afghania has the experience or to pull this off.

They are going too slow
 
They r taking 7/8 runs in an over without taking any risks, that's simply unacceptable :srini
 
Shadidi needs to do a Misbah and up his SR from 60 to 90 atleast. That is the only way they can win.
 
BanglaBros in Trouble here.
[MENTION=138254]Syed1[/MENTION] Misbah upping his SR from 60 to 90 :)))
 
See, they needed to play faster before, they made it harder on themselves. Yes, they may still win but it could've been much easier on them even if Rahmat and Shahidi played at 70 SR's.
 
Taskin "Better than Amir" Ahmed going at 8.5 rpo and without a wicket :uakmal
 
My favourite player from this Afghan side is Najibullah. I hope he does well today
 
Muhammad Nabi is my favourite Afghan player.. playing a crucial innings.
 
So it was the new guys who performed for Afghanistan today. Like I said before, Afg deserves a Test status. They are far ahead of any other associates.
