Bangladesh vs Pakistan | Asia Cup 2014 | Dhaka | 04/03/2014 | Bangladesh Innings

[Azlan Khan]

Pakistan take on the host, Bangladesh in the Asia Cup 2014. Pakistan are a win away from securing a place in the Finals against Sri Lanka.

News coming in that Sharjeel Khan might be dropped due to an injury, Fawad Alam set to replace him.

Toss in 10 mins!

 

[Moe]

Fawad Alam and Abdul Rehman in
Sharjeel and Junaid out

 

[Azlan Khan]

Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat first.

Sharjeel Khan and Junaid Khan are left out, Fawad Alam and Abdur Rehman replaces them.

 

[Extreme Pace]

Hmm will be nice to see Fawad finally but 4 spinners really ? The batting needs to be strengthened I don't like this 6 bowlers balance.

 

[96NotOut]

Junaid out? I have no reason to watch this game.

 

[Asif321]

yess faddi

 

[ritzy_123]

Junaid dropped not Gul

 

[96NotOut]

Fawad finally gets a game! And I wonder if Sharjeel's injury is just an excuse.

Junaid out? I have no reason to watch this game.

Yeh junaid has been getting 5fers every game

 

[syedtumair]

Junaid out? I have no reason to watch this game.

he has been wicket less in all 3 matches

 

[96NotOut]

BAN have lost both their games, right?

 

[sehban]

For some reason. I am very fidgety and nervous about today's match

 

[hussain.r97]

Unhappy to see Sharjeel out (is he injured).. However I'm happy to see Fawad Alam being given a chance...

 

[ritzy_123]

he has been wicket less in all 3 matches

but he was economical and plus he had a chance today to get some wickets

 

[ritzy_123]

Unhappy to see Sharjeel out (is he injured).. However I'm happy to see Fawad Alam being given a chance...

yes Sharjeel is injured

 

[steelo green]

Gul got a luck wicket vs India and was actually our worst bowler. A wicket, so what? Yes it was Kohli but he allowed India a fighting chance with his pathetic bowling.

I don't get why people don't like Junaid. He has one of the best averages, economies and is wicket taking. A couple of bad matches and we want to drop him?

We've seen mediocre Gul his entire career and we persist with him because....

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Junaid could do with some rest, In Shaa Allah he'll come back roaring in the final

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Intresting to see where everyones going to bat.

 

[96NotOut]

Yeh junaid has been getting 5fers every game

he has been wicket less in all 3 matches

He's been pretty economical, and besides, I'm oblivious to all facts against him. Look at my signature.

And Tanvir and Riaz still find their way back to the team every so often, Bhatti took 1 wicket in 4 games vs SL and Gul's economy is reprehensible.

 

[Ahson8]

I hope Alam doesn't play at 6.
This is the lineup they should go with:

Hafeez
Shehzad
Maqsood
Alam
Misbah
U. Akmal (wk)
Afridi
A. Rehman
Gul
Talha
Ajmal

Batting on the weaker side again; top 6 will need to take responsibility. Hopefully our bowlers will restrict them to a low total.

 

[saeedhk]

Misbah-ul-Haq says he's had a talk with the team about the running. "Don't run until the ball goes to the boundary," he joked

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Nice Captaincy . Drop your best Bowler and keep on persisting with Tried Failure

 

[96NotOut]

Hafeez to open? I'd like to see Afridi with Shahzad.

 

[Moe]

Looks like Hafeez will bowl the first over since Imrul Kayes is in the team.

 

[pakistani]

hmm only 2 fast bowlers. Lets see what happens.

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Hope that ain't the line-up should be;

Shehzad
Hafeez
Fawad
Maqsood
Misbah
Umar
Afridi

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Have to keep them around the 220ish mark.

 

[steelo green]

Bangladesh with 5 changes. Wow.

 

[steelo green]

Have to keep them around the 220ish mark.

I doubt they hit 200.

 

[96NotOut]

Missed the anthems AGAIN.

 

[London_Lahori]

More chasing practice for Pakistan, 3rd time this tournament.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

[96NotOut]

When BAN score more the 260, they win 75% of the time. If they score that here, they'll win 100%.

 

[96NotOut]

Shahid ALI Khan Afridi?

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Hafeez opening the bowling

 

[ChaudrySaab]

Proffesori time.

 

[steelo green]

How often do they score more than 200?

 

[Ahson8]

Hafeez opening the bowling again...

 

[Ahson8]

Dropped ?

 

[Azlan Khan]

Shehzad drops it at slips..

 

[10sion]

Pakistan already showing big heart.

 

[dhump]

Maaan office again on match day hate it.

 

[Ahson8]

Shehzad drops it at slips..

I'm following the scores on cricinfo right now. Was it a difficult take or a dolly ?

 

[Ahson8]

Umar Gul to Imrul Kayes, no run, Kayes is not looking good out there. This is a fuller delivery angled across him and he chases it. Poor choice of shot with two slips waiting for the edge. Even worse when you consider he was dropped in the previous over

 

[iafzal]

This is the catch YK takes in his sleep in slips

 

[Alamgeer]

Gul is on fast road to be the king of trundlistan.

If Pakistan lose today and India beat Afg with a bonus point then India will face SL in the final. Right.?

I do not understand why pakistan have such fascination with playing so many bowlers ?

 

[Ahson8]

Gul

 

[Electron]

Umar Gul is trundling at 120s.

NO.

That is because it is not run rate , thing that would be seen is who won in the group stage games.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

And we dropped for this trundler

 

[whatthewhat]

Gul will be a huge liability in WT20

 

[Justcrazy]

:4

hammered

 

[Justcrazy]

Its sickening to see pakistan management playing again and again instead of Anwar

 

[steelo green]

Gul over Junaid. What a joke.

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Need a wicket now

 

[Justcrazy]

20 / 0 after 5

 

[Ahson8]

I will be very nervous if we have to chase 250+

Anamul, Mushfiq, Nasir and Shakib can be dangerous. Hopefully they'll flop today
