Bangladesh vs Afghanistan | World T20 Qualifying Group A | Dhaka |16/3/2014 |

Very very easy win for bangla :)
 
Second time I've seen Mushy hit by a bail. Wear a helmet and goggles please.
 
Out for 72 within 18 overs.

Feel sorry for myrmidon. Afghanistan just lack professionalism and temperament. Gotta focus on taking some wickets.

And karma strikes as Mushy is injured by the bails!
 
I hope Bangaldesh play aggressive and try to chase this in 10-12 overs instead of taking 18 or so overs.
 
Lol Razzak calling out Nabi and Kabir Khan for their comments. Who's under pressure now boys?
 
Terrible terrible batting and thinking from batsmen and team managememt..

This is their third t20 world cup. two years ago vs england they were 45/9 at one stage and made 87 or so. Have they learned?? No. There can be no excuses for this performance. Could well be out of the tournament within 16 overs of play....

3-4 years ago they were in division 5. It's easy to forget they are inexperienced and need backing. Hopefully this is a one-off. I think it will be.
 
Damn, went to have some UndaBread and come back to see 6 down to all out for 73...:)))
 
No shakib, tamim and mashrafe was in Asia cup... look at the difference... Alamin started to leak runs but Mashrafe and Shakib turned the tide for us.....
 
Brand new lowest score for the Afghanis!

Hope Mushfiq is fine. We won't need him in this match but he's crucial for the main tournament.
 
Details please :asif
Nabi and Kabir Khan before the match said all the pressure was on Bangladesh.

When asked whether Afghanistan might have been tense over this match, Razzak simply said: "I don't want to comment on the other team. Some people might have said that we were under pressure but we just saw what happened."

Haha its fine bro, I am good, I still have Ireland and Pak to support but not at all upset because I know the issue behind the scenes, Hamid and Noor Ali are both fully fit. Just angry because of team selection and team politics.

Hasan even posted on his page saying he is fine, but ACB ( Hasti Gul ) the chief selector wanted to include his younger brother Aftab Alam in the squad. Guy is a trundler. They even dropped younger player Najibullah to accommodate Karim Sadiq who again is Hasti guls brother.

It is diabolical way of selection. I thought the PCB was bad, but these guys are taking this to an even lower situation.

Thanks, things look to have backfired for Afghanistan :hammad

Thanks! Afghanistan have a good bowling attack so lets see if they can at least make a game of it. Keep an eye on Hong Kong though. Very good in the warm ups and if they can beat Bangladesh then who knows what will happen!!
 
Just found out Mushfiqur got injured, did he injure his trachea appealing excessively?
 
Mate you are beating Afghanistan and not some test nation, for what it is worth, the worst test team is still Bangladesh, hence they have to qualify infront of their own fans in a tournament they are hosting. Clearly nobody in the cricketing world rates them

Ask the teams that we have played against in recent times. It took a freakish innings from Afridi to beat us, we made Lanka sweat more than 4 times in the recent past but we lacked the experience to finish the match on a winning note. We did beat NZ 3-0 at home, and WI when they last toured us.

I don't know what you fans think, but we are certainly a level or two higher than you claim.
 
Lol Afghans trying to sledge Tamim? They just get more and more annoying.
 
Starts with spin. Off the mark. Hope we can wrap this without any glitches.

Wish Afghanistan had somebody like Tamim, the only player I have ever liked from Bangladesh
 
Tamim walking out to pacers remind me of the 2007 world cup. Toyed with Zaheer khan!

Safe to say Niall isnt a big fan of Shehzad!
 
This is ridiculous. Going to be a crappy tournament if it's going to continue to turn and bite like this.

I'm worried about our chances now, our batsmen are woeful against spin.

If the orthodix spinners are going to be getting that much purchase we're screwed..
 
Bangladesh and Ireland team is close. Especially Niall, he's good mates with a lot of BD players.

Historically the two countries have a similar history too. Pretty sure Stirlo, Niall and Kevin have lots of friends in the BD setup due to their experience in the BPL too. I wouildnt say they are close though. Lots of the team support Afghanistan too as we're the two best Associates.

Badree, Narine -- even get Gayle and Samuels to bowl. WI won't mind these.

Historically similar to Afghanistan. The English split both of their countries up forcing them to lose their land :P
 
Why are these pitches turning so much if Afghan spinners can do this imagine what Ajju can do

Honestly, AFGs wicketkeeper looks like a Blue Polar bear...He makes Sharjeel and Jamshed look like athletes. Who is giving him advice?
 
Spin pitches could be heaven send for Pakistan, if the tracks stay like this, Pakistan will be close to near unstoppable

Hafeez and Afridi don't really rely on turn, neither does Ajju that much(they all do but not as much as proper spinners do)...The real beast I expect is Zulfiqar Babar who'll be turning it miles

But if you give them help with the pitch they will be even more lethal we've seen Ajju on turners in UAE and WI be lethal

Feel so sorry for the Afghan bowlers, nothing to defend half the time :))

Karim honestly has no business being in this team at all, Hamza Hotak did nothing wrong and dropped :))
