Bangladesh tour of UAE (2025) - [3 T20Is and 3 ODIs against Afghanistan]

[sweep_shot]

Don't think Shamim has the capability for a long run.

Shamim is good for T20. Can hit well. Can bowl part-time spin.

Weak links are Nurul and Emon.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 116/3 (14 overs; target: 152).

36 to win from 36 balls.

Rashid has 1 over. Noor has 1 over.

 

[sweep_shot]

Rashid gets Jaker.

116/4.

 

[Mas-LFC]

What a joker this Jaker. What is the khet hala trying to do LoL. Absolute khet shot. Trying hard to lose this. Mental midgets

 

[Imran Hasan]

And Jaker Ali too gone. I'm eagerly waiting for the Jisan to debut. Liked his aggressive batting.

 

[sweep_shot]

Can these bolods just bat sensibly and get the remaining runs.

Yeah. Why are they sweeping Rashid so much? LOL.

All they have to do is see off Rashid and Noor.

RRR is only 6.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Rashid isnt doing anything unplayable. They are just giving it away playing daft shots

 

[Imran Hasan]

Shamim is good for T20. Can hit well. Can bowl part-time spin.

Weak links are Nurul and Emon.

So far Shamim playing motamuti but felt he is an average player.

 

[sweep_shot]

Shamim has been given out too.

BD went from 105/0 to 117/5.

Collapse.

 

[Imran Hasan]

LoL what's happening now . Another gone.

 

[sweep_shot]

So far Shamim playing motamuti but felt he is an average player.

He failed today but played some good knocks before.

 

[Cricket Warrior]

Bangladesh is doing Pakistani things here... all they need to stay calm and score single and doubles to get the target

 

[sweep_shot]

Rashid isnt doing anything unplayable. They are just giving it away playing daft shots

All they have to do is block Rashid's final over. They are trying to sweep and do all sorts of things.

Brainless batting.

 

[Imran Hasan]

Gotta go for Namaz. Hope BD win the match.

 

[Mas-LFC]

wth is this lol. They simply dont know how to play the ball now. Normal spin nothing unplayable just normal deliveries and they are bottling it

 

[sweep_shot]

Rashid has taken 4 wickets today. He single-handedly brought Afghanistan back in the game.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 117/5 (15 overs; target: 152).

35 to win from 30 balls.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Brain dead batting by Joker Ali, Shamim, And the set batsman tanzid who played a khet type push outside off

 

[sweep_shot]

109/0 became 117/5.

 

[sweep_shot]

Tanzim is out also.

BD - 118/6.

109/0 to 118/6.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD need 34 to win from 4 overs. 4 wickets in hand.

Rashid and Noor are done with their overs.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Brainless cricket at its best

 

[Mas-LFC]

Makes me sick these lot. I dont know why I bother watching the jokers

 

[sweep_shot]

Brainless cricket at its best

109/0 became 118/6.

Outrageous.

 

[sweep_shot]

31 to win from 19 balls.

 

[sweep_shot]

Boundary from Rishad. Good shot.

27 to win from 3 overs. 4 wickets in hand.

 

[Mas-LFC]

All they needed to do is bat rotating strike playing out RK. But they started having brainfarts

 

[sweep_shot]

22 to win from 15.

4 wickets in hand.

Can go either way.

 

[sweep_shot]

Four. Almost a catch. LOL.

16 to win from 12.

 

[sweep_shot]

Six from Nurul. BD needed that.

10 to win from 11.

 

[sweep_shot]

Another six from Nurul. Back to back sixes.

4 to win from 10.

 

[sweep_shot]

3 to win from 9 balls.

They better not mess this up.

 

[sweep_shot]

All over.

BD win by 4 wickets and go up 1-0.

Good game.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Well got the job done in the end. Made it tricky for themselves by playing some daft cricket. Nurul Hasan won it in the end.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD went from 109/0 to 118/6 to 153/6.

Eventful.

Anyway, they won in the end. Scratchy but got the job done.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Whoever made Jaker Ali captain needs to be sacked. I really dislike this guy now!

 

[CricVet]

The 2nd best team of Asia in a tandoor now for a while.

 

[Mainul]

Sohan is a garbage player. Jaker Ali is supposed to be our backbone but the way he bats in this series ( his batting style was in questions after the debut but he was delivering) begs the scrutiny of his technic. Touhid needs to be mature. We need at least two quality batters likes of Shakib and Mushfiq.

Sohan is a good T20 player. Jaker just needs to fix 1 screw of his brain. Mushfiqur wasn't a good T20 player, couldn't do anything for us.

 

[Mainul]

Well done at the end .

 

[Mas-LFC]

Sohan is a good T20 player. Jaker just needs to fix 1 screw of his brain. Mushfiqur wasn't a good T20 player, couldn't do anything for us.

Nurul is good hitter. I think he just holds himself back for no reason I genuinely feel he doesn’t back his ability as much. It could be a confidence thing. But he has shown he can hit big shots at will in global t20 and bpl many times.

I think Nurul can't play spin well. He needs pace to do well.

It was why he was struggling against Pakistani spinners. Even today all of his shots came against pacers.

I think this should be BD's XI:

Tanzid
Saif/Miraz
Litton
Tawhid
Jaker
Shamim
Rishad
Taskin
Nasum
Tanzim/Mahedi (depending on the pitch)
Mustafiz.

LoL Sohan won the match for us today but I still feel he's very average player. He can play shot that's for sure but he's brainless how he should choose to play the shots. Also I was overall thinking white bowl cricket. We need players like Shakib and Mushfiq at the middle order who did good job over the years for us.

He is rubbish against spin.

He is good against pacy bowlers only.

I think BD should select someone who can play both spin and pace.

Too many bowlers, need to add 1 proper all rounder. May need to bring back Shanto, if we keep collapsing like we did today and against Pakistan.

 

[Mas-LFC]

BD need to bring back Sabbir Rahman for finishing role. Even Mossadekk Hossain offers off spin, very handy cricketer. I know some people wont like but Sabbir is still good finisher, he had a good bpl last year too. Mossadekk currently doing well in NCLT20.

 

[Mas-LFC]

In the absence of LKD. Nurul or Taskin should have been made captain. Jaker isn’t it, aint even stable in his slot, aint experienced enough. Nurul captained Rangpur to global t20 tournament win.

Mossadek has gotten lot of chances. He wasnt done anything meaningful in whatever chances he has gotten in LOI. However, BD do need an allrounder in the middle. So instead of 6-5 Test match style combination, they need 6-1-4 combination.

Mosaddek! Yup.

Where did he disappear? LOL. I remember he did great against NZ in CT group stage. BD ended up winning that game.

Mosaddek can hit well also.

Sabbir is probably old now. Don't think he should play now.

 

[Mainul]

If you have to choose 1 player out of Nurul and Jaker whom will you?

Both can be dropped.

Bangladesh secured a four-wicket victory in the opening T20I, overcoming a dramatic middle-order collapse triggered by Afghanistan skipper Rashid Khan’s fiery four-wicket burst. Despite losing six wickets for just nine runs in a chaotic 25-ball stretch, Nurul Hasan and Rishad Hossain held their nerve to guide the hosts home with eight balls to spare.

Chasing 152, Bangladesh got off to a flying start thanks to Parvez Hossain Emon and Tanzid Hasan, who put on a 109-run stand in just 11.3 overs, both registering half-centuries. Emon scored 54 off 37 before falling to Fareed Ahmad, who had earlier dropped him on 27. But the breakthrough didn’t bring much celebration from Afghanistan, given the dominance of the openers.

Then came Rashid Khan’s magic. He broke through with a ripping googly to bowl Saif Hassan, and two balls later dismissed Tanzid Hasan for 51, as the left-hander edged behind. In his next over, Rashid trapped both Jaker Ali and Shamim Hossain lbw in quick succession — Jaker missing a sweep and Shamim caught deep in the crease trying to flick. Noor Ahmad then got into the act, trapping Tanzim Hasan lbw, leaving Bangladesh in deep trouble.

With only Nurul and Rishad left as Bangladesh’s recognised batters, the game tilted in Afghanistan’s favour. However, the pair kept their cool. Nurul, recovering from a scratchy outing against Pakistan in the Asia Cup, struck two crucial sixes in his unbeaten 23. Rishad, who had struggled for form, found his timing just in time, sealing the win with his third boundary.

It was a nervy finish to a game that Bangladesh looked to have won comfortably at one stage, but they ultimately emerged victorious with eight balls to spare.

 

[Mas-LFC]

If you have to choose 1 player out of Nurul and Jaker whom will you?

Nurul. Joker is a major flop in tournaments. Nurul made crucial brilliant dive-stop and run out against Afghanistan in the asia cup at that stage, that was the turning point. Also added quick runs towards the end in the match when the Joker was playing test innings.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Mosaddek! Yup.

Where did he disappear? LOL. I remember he did great against NZ in CT group stage. BD ended up winning that game.

Mosaddek can hit well also.

Sabbir is probably old now. Don't think he should play now.

Sabbir is 33. Still a clean hitter, got the fitness. Misbah came back at 33yo 2007 and went onto do a lot remaining of his career. Age is just a number.

 

[Mainul]

Nurul is a match winner. He will not win you every match ,he will flop sometimes and win you sometimes. I want to put my money on Players who can win matches in tough situation.

You only need one WK. Rest should be allrounders or proper finisher. Sadly in BD our WK are better hitter. This guy Mahidul Ankon is also good. Last year BPL he had one of the highest SR.

 

[BDfanforever]

Tanzid and Emon will go into hiding once tournament starts, because in tournaments you face SSA, Chameera, Bumrah not Abbas Afridi, Karunatre, or Kamboj.
