Crucial match for both teams.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Bangladesh 43 | 0 | 4.2

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

49 | 0 | 5

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Imrul Kayes does seem quite a classy operator

Reminds me a lot of Sangakarra

 

[Amjid Javed]

Bangla off to a flyer here! wicket looks a placid one and i doubt anyone would fancy bowling on this!

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

This group could really reall tight.

Whoever wins this will have a good chance for the QFs.

Bangladesh can beat Eng and WI, IRE can beat Bang and maybe pull of an upset. Netherlands can post a big score against WI and pull of an upset.

67 | 2 | 10

Bangla still going at a good rate

 

[James]

really wanted to watch this in bed on my laptop (Sky Player), but Bangla game is only accessible through SS1 and then the red button. Urgh. About to zip downstairs, can't miss Tamim batting.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Bangla should aim for 330 min if Tamim stays in

 

[hussnainn]

6.7 RR.. they are going good

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

really wanted to watch this in bed on my laptop (Sky Player), but Bangla game is only accessible through SS1 and then the red button. Urgh. About to zip downstairs, can't miss Tamim batting.

And Bumbles just entered the Comms box

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Tamim seems to have calmed down a bit.

Hopefully he's looking for a daddy hundred

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

The atmosphere in the ground is amazing, as has the atmosphere in every match, imho its been a very good WC so far. InshAllah it'll be the best when Pak win it.

[ace4rmspace]

Bangladesh in a spot of bother.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Bangla 109/4 - Ireland on top now and they should go hunting for more wickets.

 

[AZ]

what a collapse, after such a rollicking start!

 

[James]

Said to be an ultra-slow pitch. Any chase will be a challenge.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Ashraful out! )

But Come on Bangladesh!!!

 

[DOOSRA95]

what a rubbish team LOL...........

 

[dhump]

When exactly Bangladesh will improve???

 

[James]

Ashraful is terrible...

 

[Strike!]

Love how some people were hyping ashraful before this match.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Time for England to recruit Dockrell

 

[Amjid Javed]

Ireland should fancy their chances now of restricting bangla to something chaseable.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

What a collapse. In the space of 33 runs the first four wickets fell. Then Bangladesh did well to rebuild to get to 147. Then another 3 wickets fell in the space of 12 runs.

I guess when wickets come, they come in torrents.

 

[DOOSRA95]

just a use less team who do not peform when chips are down.
