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

AFG - 88/4 (22 overs).

I think 250-260 is par here. Average 1st innings score on this ground is around 270.
 
AFG - 126/5 (30 overs).

20 overs to go. How much more can the Afghans get? I think they need 250 at least.
 
Kharote looks like someone who could bat up the order. Compact defense. Good at rotating strike. At least better than Shahidi. :kp
 
Saif Hassan isnt a good ODI player. He is reckless and has no patience to bat long. Both Tanzid and Saif are useless in ODI’s. Soumya Sarkar is far better in ODI’s. Mossadekk Hossain better option than Joker and Shamim Potawari in ODI’s.

Saif is okay for ODI. This is his debut series. I think he has good techniques for all 3 formats.

However, Tanzid must be dropped from ODI team. He got enough chances.
 
Miraz poor technique get the bat straighter down quicker he did the same last match bat comes down too slow. Khet
 
Tanzid Hasan hasnt learnt a thing in ODI’s he gets out all the time like how BD batsmen used to get out in 2003.

Tanzid should be dropped from ODI after this series. He has been getting chances in ODI since 2023 WC. No improvement.

However, he should continue to play T20. He played some good T20 innings.
 
Nurul has to show his worth in ODI’s.

BD batters forgot how to bat in ODI.

Tawhid Hridoy had a brainfart for no reason!
 
I think the issue with BD in cricket or sports in general, the mentality is similar. In football although the results isnt there, there’s hope/interest/changes with origin based players coming in. But in cricket its all same. Being homogeneous country has its downfall.
 
3-4 runs an over is enough. They are masters at making things difficult for themselves, never do they do it easy. Its deeply in their habits and dna.
 
Nurul gone. Played a absolute wild hack for no reason. Just gifted the wicket! ABSOLUTE MADNESS
 
Bangladesh cant bat in ODI’s. Period.

I said this, back last year after they won T20 series in windies that going forward BD will be a better T20 format team than ODI’s as I got the feeling the next batch of players lack patience to bat long in ODI manner.
 
Afghanistan wins by 81 runs.

Serious issues for BD in ODI’s under Simmons. Wrong players playing in ODI’s. You cannot bring T20 especialist in ODI’s. Nurul is a waste of space in ODI’s, so is Tanzid, Saif is best for T20s leave him there till after next t20 wc. Players like Soumya, Mossadekk, Sabbir Rahman, Yasir Ali better suited to ODI’s.
 
Under Simmons BD has regressed massively in ODI’s to the point where BD batters have no clue how bat in ODI’s. The local khet batting coach has made sure batters forget how to bat in this format.
 
That dumb khet local batting coach needs to be kick out right after this embarrassing defeat. They need to bring back Neil Mckinzie ASAP.

Simmions is doing all right in T20s. I wouldnt blame Simmions completely for ODIs. Its been happening even before Simmions came. We lost to NED in the WC as well.

ODI batting averages of 32, 25, 25 and 14 for the players better suited to ODI's
 
I read online that Rashid has not been hit for a single boundary in this ODI series so far. Says more about Bangladesh's batting than it does about Rashid's bowling
 
Bangladesh have to stop playing on Mirpur slow low wicket if they want to succeed in ODIs or else shame old story for them moving forward.

This loss has nothing to do with Mirpur. If anything, this pitch and score was similar to Mirpur. Should've been an easy chase but they completely forgot how to bat in ODIs.
 
Utterly embarrassing. Pitch wasnt unplayable or anything, bd gifted their quickets, fundamentally weak in this format. Openers are walking wickets, middle order either test style or t20 slogging, nothing inbetween, lower order is nonexistent.

Bring back Mushfiq who has more years left. Soumya, Mossadekk, Sabbir, Akbar Ali, Mahidul AnkonC Saifuddin, are players needed for ODI’s.

Mossadek got enough chances. He too suck. Akbar Ali is also more of T20 batsmen. He can easily replace all of the three WK in T20s.
 
I thought after embarrassing defect against NED in WC 2023 things would improve. But nope, now we are back to struggling to post 100 runs...in ODIs. They better start making changes now for the ODI team. Quit wasting taxpayers money.

Their average might be poor but they have more patience and ability is there. BD players never average well. Soumya was averaging late 40s for some years when he started but dropped.
 
Joker Chewgum Ali got out as if he didn’t give a care, gifted a catching practice. The body language is outrageously disgusting.
 
Some of the players gone too comfortable in their position. Jaker Ali, Shanto Da, Tanzid who had had a million chances since 2003 cwc and still hasnt become a good opener in ODIs. On the past players got dropped after few failures player like Samsur Rahman who had natural free flowing batsman. But somehow tanzid has got away with so many chances. I think he good option in t20s but not odi.


BD need to get a grip in this format. They’ve slipped so far since 2023CWC. They will be playing the qualifying round for next cwc for sure!
