[Energetic]

Bangladesh should win though it will be really close. 2-1.

 

[Adnan Siddiqui]

First discuss weather

 

[Anik Sharma]

I think Bangladesh will win the series.

 

[Lords]

I think Bangladesh will win the series.

Only if weather gods permit it. otherwise its BDs series to loose.

 

[sandsaims]

Being the best team in the world, it should be a cakewalk to Bangladesh.

 

[Mystique_Myth]

I would be surprised if Bangladesh loose this..

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Lol @ above posts.

 

[cricket.mad]

Can india win atleast a match in the series or will it get blanked infront of bang bro's?

 

[11ShadyBrothers]

Keya bangla baja dei gei india ki...pungi?

 

[#GreenRoars]

some of the posts are really astounding honestly.

 

[Anik Sharma]

Weather looks good here in Mirpur.
Hoping for a full match.
Or Indians may find some excuses later on.

 

[Imran Hasan]

So far weather is very good. There is no rain since yesterday. Hopefully there will be no rain in the evening too.

Bangladesh did very good in limited over format in recent past and now there is time to prove ourselves more worthy in the ranking or elite class of colored clothing(odi). Of course it will be a great challenge against India but the boys are eager to put up a good show for the home crowd. Hopefully It will be a cracker of a game.

 

[Energetic]

2 evenly match teams despite big ranking difference. India has more experience though.

 

[Sherlock]

Will be a good series, weather permitting.

India should win it though

 

[#GreenRoars]

Mashrafe Mortaza has won the toss and decided to bat first

 

[Sandeep]

Will India be a pushover like Pakistan? Only time will tell. Bangla lions are ready to roar though. No difference there. Go Lions.

 

[#GreenRoars]

For Bangladesh the next target in sight is Champions Trophy qualification. They need to win two of the six matches at home, against India and South Africa

you mixing up your lions with tigers. Or the BD fans beein carrying the wrong animal into the stadiums for all these years.

 

[Imran Hasan]

Bd are playing with four pacers! When did we see this type of bowling combination in home soil?

 

[Sandeep]

Lol, right. Bangla tigers, sorry brothers. Go tigers.

In other news, Indians were seen shaking at the sight of these 4 pacers..

 

[Statsman]

Mighty Banglas on the prowl. Let's see if India can put a fight.

i think Bangla are tigers , not Lions ?

 

[Sandeep]

My bad, yes mate. Got confused. The Sundarban Royal Bengal tigers. Yes..

 

[Imran Hasan]

sarcasm hmm.. but who knows!

Mirpur's pitch is typically slow and we have some quality spinners but today's four pacers theory surprises me a little bit. May be in night under the light and possibilities of some rain It will favors the pacers.

 

[Captain_Obvious]

Can India restrict Bangladesh below 500 ?

 

[nish_mate]

Can India restrict Bangladesh below 500 ?

Only if the rains intervene before the 25th over- otherwise it is a 600+score.

 

[Justcrazy]

Bongs going with so many seam bowling options !!

 

[MarkCooper]

Keep wickets in hand, then go berserk in the last 2 overs and get 120-0.

 

[Justcrazy]

Can India restrict Bangladesh below 500 ?

India will restrict them to 300 .

 

[Justcrazy]

Kumar is good with the new ball.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

BD will be all out for 160.

 

[Dee1990]

BD should be the ones praying for rain otherwise India will make mince meat of them.

 

[Justcrazy]

5 after 1st over

 

[Justcrazy]

8 / 0

2 overs

 

[Saurav]

no ball

 

[Statsman]

No ball, expect a six from Tamim now.

 

[nish_mate]

Get ACB involved.

Something funny.....a spinner overstepping and then an Afridiesque defence shot on the free hit ball.

 

[MarkCooper]

I can't believe that bloke in the tv advert bought a $20000 car for his annoying 16 year old daughter. When I was 16 I got sod all.

are they showing the match on telly? which channel in the uk?

 

[#GreenRoars]

quick start by BD

 

[Statsman]

Going along finely here, Desh.

 

[Justcrazy]

sarkar

 

[MarkCooper]

I've never used ZOOM to transfer money as I have never spent any money.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Some comedy gold commentary in this thread

Its a good start from Bangladesh. Thus far, Sowmya looked the more accomplished than Tamim.

 

[#GreenRoars]

 

[Justcrazy]

Steady bowling by india so far.

 

[MarkCooper]

Bhogle says Dhoni goes to his favourite restaurant and orders a "leg slip".

I order a big fat steak, onion rings, french fries, mushrooms.

 

[Justcrazy]

27 after 5 overs

I have always been a leg man....but with Ramadan on wouldnt like to expand on it.

 

[#GreenRoars]

 

[BaaliSoda]

India's slip cordon easily one of the worst among top 6 ranked ODI teams.

Shikhar, Kohli, and Ashwin are all capable of dropping a sitter or two every inning.

Gotta develop someone for slip position soon to fill this anomaly.

 

[zabalestmsm]

First chapter of banglawash in the process!

 

[#GreenRoars]

drizzling in Mirpur

 

[nish_mate]

Tamim taking Yadav to the cleaners- hope its not a drycleaner- they are expensive!

 

[zabalestmsm]

Oh Dhoni is the captain! I was thinking its Virat!

 

[Statsman]

Bangla boys off to an explosive start!

 

[BaaliSoda]

Tamim slowly getting back to his groove. Some quick runs for him in that over.

BTW, Umesh has been disappointing so far.

 

[Justcrazy]

short ball hammered.

 

[#GreenRoars]

what a by Tamim

 

[Statsman]

18 runs off Malcom.

 

[Saurav]

carnage started

missing Binny

 

[#GreenRoars]

what a phainti

 

[BaaliSoda]

That shot of sowmya reminded me of Yuvi in his prime. Looks a very talented player this sarkar is.

 

[Justcrazy]

fifty up

 

[Neferpitou]

Banglas showing their class. This just might be too much for India.

 

[Justcrazy]

55/ 0

7 overs

Let them bat, and then let India also bat.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Bhuvi since the injury and subsequent return from Australia is not the same player he was during 1st half of England tour. He has been awful in whatever games i have seen him play since then.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Unlike Pakistan, Bangladeshi openers know how to hit over the top, improvise and even charge.

Good to see.

 

[Lords]

Everyone in the Indian subcontinent is a Tiger or lion barring Pakistan.

Though i think only in India Tigers and Lions still live in their natural habitat.

 

[Statsman]

He played well during the IPL.

Hey, what's new? Indian pacer losing his way after a couple of performances.

 

[Statsman]

Just rotate the strike for the next 10 overs and....wait what the hell! Continue the phaitaa!

 

[GenericBrand]

Sarkar better than Anamul, score would have only been 30ish if the latter was playing

 

[Statsman]

They can get to 400+ here.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Bhuvi has been very drastic in that sense. IMHO, he is entering into the #IrfanPathanzone at Intnl cricket.
