Bangladesh vs India | Asia Cup: Final | Dubai | Sep 28, 2018 | Match Thread

[Deewana Mastana]

Sliced away 4 more Liton Das

 

[10sion]

Litons highest score. Can he make it count?

 

[pillionrider]

Once again Indian bowlers are showing they can't perform in the final.

C'mon man, these guys are batting so aggressively and well, bowlers not sure what to do. Balls that were being patted back down earlier in the tournament are being smashed. More like credit to the BD players than Indian bowlers failing.

They have lost all their line and length after skipping one game.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Awwwwwwww that boys face said it all for India.

 

[RainMan_]

Can't believe what I'm seeing here.

 

[Asif321]

Interesting to see what will be plan B from Indian bowling
A has failed which was working all tournament

 

[10sion]

Mehedys avewrage score and high score are both more than that of Litons.

Says what a terrible opener Liton has been so far.

 

[sam_ahm]

Great start by bangladesh... looks like we are desperately missing pakistan... lol

 

[rollingstoned]

We are going to regret bowling first again arent we? Credit to the bangers for bringing it. We seem to be caught cold, as if wickets will fall by themselves.

 

[Shutdown Corner]

No swing from either of Bumrah or Bhuvi...

 

[RainMan_]

That boy is so cute. Opps, he was crying. It made me sad.

 

[Asif321]

Century from Liton will be great

 

[Shafi]

That's what happen when you play fearless. BD is doing right approach where we played with timidness and got thrashed by India.

 

[saintgrace]

Over six power play. This is going to be above 250 runs if ban holds the nerve in middle order

 

[Asif321]

This decision was taken becuase what they have done this tournament
Not logical actually . If India lose openers under 40 while chasing 260 here it’s gona be huge task

 

[pillionrider]

Over six power play. This is going to be above 250 runs if ban holds the nerve in middle order

That's the big test. Generally they do this and then mess up when batting first vs India. Maybe pitch slowing down and spinners has an effect.

 

[saintgrace]

Ban bowlers are not gold either without sakib. They will get some good treatment. Fizz is the only threat. And this Mehdi also now because he is having a good day so far.

 

[Hawkeye]

Lol.

Pak batters need to learn from BD.

Our batting is minnow level.

 

[Asif321]

best start for any team in this cup

 

[RainMan_]

Mehedi is struggling.

 

[rollingstoned]

Yea j actually don't have confidence that we can chase anything above 270. Even that much will be a struggle if the top order doesn't fire, considering they are all due failures. The whole team is due an off day actually.

 

[RainMan_]

He's Sucking the momentum out of the innings.

 

[pillionrider]

They have lost all their line and length after skipping one game.

Brett Lee suggested this a little while back that the rest has messed with their rhythm. Not an excuse though cuz in World Cups and all you have these kind of breaks

 

[RainMan_]

Welcome to the attack Jaddu. Liton on fire here.

 

[Mp812]

Last 2 over 2 runs

 

[10sion]

1st 50!

 

[saintgrace]

All talk about we can't chase because of Meddle order are not true. They are not reliable but they are good in this condition if they apply them self

 

[Asif321]

Dropped wasn’t easy

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Chahal

 

[RainMan_]

As I was saying, always expect idiot liton to throw it away.

He's lucky that chahal dropped it.

 

[pillionrider]

) Oh boy this is turning into a nightmare. Not sure I'm enjoying this BD thrashing anymore

 

[Asif321]

Actually should have been taken . India being Pakistan here

 

[mayankp.sverige]

India gonna lose this they seem nervous of final and dropping catches here.

 

[rollingstoned]

All talk about we can't chase because of Meddle order are not true. They are not reliable but they are good in this condition if they apply them self

Well if we are 50 for 2 or 3 or something and they come t the middle and do it it will.be a proper litmus test. In a crunch game that will quite rightly earn them a spot in the team.

 

[saintgrace]

Actually should have been taken . India being Pakistan here

Dropped catch was hard and did you see tabiyat of chahal. I wonder how he play odi game with this skinny.

 

[Asif321]

Mashrafe body language is so inspiring the way he was talking to team in huddle today

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Both BD batsmen should not make mistake against jaddu

 

[mayankp.sverige]

Chahal always drop 1 catch per match

 

[Asif321]

India missed big trick by not batting

 

[RainMan_]

Take singles idiots. Don't throw it away.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Chahal, Rayudu, Bumrah, Dhawan, Karthik, Kuldeep and Jadhav - This is the most worst fielding unit India has ever had.

 

[Mlsrock]

Look like bangladesh winning this easily
74 without loss in 12 is a very good score

Anything above 250 is very difficult to chase

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Captain asking liton from dressing room to go after big score

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Expect rohit and dhawan to get out early today.

 

[Mlsrock]

India always choke in finals!

 

[desi_launda]

Run rate down to 6.Time for the choke to take hold

 

[saintgrace]

Why people are so negative? This is cricket and anybody can win. Keep calm and enjoy the performance. Worst case 8ndia will lose. But this is ban not Pakistani bowling unit. Ban and final are bad combo remember nidihas final and kartik?

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Dhoni is trying to disturb batsmen concentration,this is the plan C of dhoni

 

[MenInG]

Some issue which MS Dhoni was complaining about?

 

[RainMan_]

Soon mehedi will play a big shot and get out.

 

[pillionrider]

Commentators being live at the ground is useless. None of them explain what Dhoni was agitated about

 

[desi_launda]

Some issue which MS Dhoni was complaining about?

Batsman was trying to have a drink in between the over

 

[RamLakhan]

Well if they could not chase against Afghanistan, then its going to be even tougher against Bangladesh! (Remember even in that match the openers had put 100 runs partnership!) Foolish decision to chase! Chasing was working because we were getting opponents out under 200 (actually after the opponents asked us to chase! It was not our decision!) They should have kept in mind that even HK played freely against our bowlers! Should have preferred defending on the finals! Probably India want to gift a finals to BD...!

 

[Mlsrock]

Its not about negative thinking, its reality india perform very badly in finals

 

[RainMan_]

For gods sake don't throw it away. India is under pressure. Rohit looks tensed.

 

[RamLakhan]

India always choke in finals!

How many finals have they choked?

 

[RainMan_]

Jaddu is bowling well.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Batsman was trying to have a drink in between the over

Same happened in last match too PakVsBan

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

For gods sake don't throw it away. India is under pressure. Rohit looks tensed.

Rohit is paper captain,dhoni is field captain.

 

[RainMan_]

Liton is channeling his inner Fakhar here.

 

[RainMan_]

Rohit is paper captain,dhoni is field captain.

It's the batsman Rohit we need to worry about, not the captain rohit. A relaxed Rohit is a dangerous batsman. But a tensed Rohit is not. We saw it in CT final.

 

[Rahul1]

This is eerily looking like the replay of CT final

 

[RainMan_]

Liton isn't picking Kuldeep's wrong ones. Worrying times.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

It's the batsman Rohit we need to worry about, not the captain rohit. A relaxed Rohit is a dangerous batsman. But a tensed Rohit is not. We saw it in CT final.

I wish he and dhawan be very tensed during batting.

 

[RainMan_]

96/0

Nice.

 

[Sirris]

Liton Das to get a century.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Dhoni,by his bowlers trying to trap miraz by bowling full outside off flighted delivery. He is a cool captain

 

[pillionrider]

Dhoni boss style

 

[saintgrace]

If the pitch is fatta Indian is winning in 45 overs.

 

[10sion]

India always choke in finals!

Clearly you have not seen Bangladesh in Finals...

 

[saintgrace]

One wicket and ban will be five down in now time

 

[mayankp.sverige]

Bring in Jadhav he always break partnerships.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Looks like Deja vu all over again for India. CT final repeat. BD deserves it if they win and will help us get rid of our non existent middle order for good.

 

[battler]

Liton Zaman ��

 

[RainMan_]

270 is what I want our team post on the board. We shouldn't aim for too big and end up by scoring less than what we should've. We made the same mistake against Pakistan where we aimed for too big and then ended up with a below par score.

 

[Mlsrock]

How many finals have they choked?

Out of 56 finals india have won 27 till 2017

 

[battler]

270 is what I want our team post on the board. We shouldn't aim for too big and end up by scoring less than what we should've. We made the same mistake against Pakistan where we aimed for too big and then ended up with a below par score.

If you score 270 and Rohit and Dhawan get off to a start then India will chase that also. If you score 300 or upwards it will psychologically sent India and you might win the game

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

270 is what I want our team post on the board. We shouldn't aim for too big and end up by scoring less than what we should've. We made the same mistake against Pakistan where we aimed for too big and then ended up with a below par score.

Correct.

 

[Buffet]

270 is what I want our team post on the board. We shouldn't aim for too big and end up by scoring less than what we should've. We made the same mistake against Pakistan where we aimed for too big and then ended up with a below par score.

Anything less than 300 will be disappointing with 10 wickets left and already 100 runs on board.
