[Executioner]

So this will be the last international cricket match between top tier teams for some time.

​

VS​

Sri Lanka (probable): 1. Kusal Perera, 2. Dilshan Munaweera, 3. Lahiru Thirimanne, 4. Dinesh Chandimal (capt & wk), 5. Angelo Perera/Kithuruwan VIthanage, 6. Angelo Mathews, 7. Jeevan Mendis, 8. Thisara Perera, 9. Shaminda Eranga/ Chaturanga de Silva/ Ishan Jayaratne, 10. Sachithra Senanayake, 11. Lasith Malinga.

Bangladesh (probable): 1 Mohammad Ashraful, 2 Shamsur Rahman, 3 Jahurul Islam, 4 Mushfiqur Rahim (capt & wk), 5 Mahmudullah, 6 Nasir Hossain, 7 Mominul Haque, 8 Ziaur Rahman, 9 Sohag Gazi, 10 Abdur Razzak, 11 Rubel Hossain/Shahadat Hossain.

 

[QazzarFan]

C'mmon boyz let's do this!!

No Anamul, Tamim or Shakib

 

[BaaliSoda]

Jahurul shouldn't be batting anywhere close to top 5 in the batting order. If BD really want to up the ante interms of scoring some quick runs , then they should try and use Ziaur Rahman as a pinch hitter instead of Jahurul.

Nasir hossain should also be promoted up the order if BD bats first.

On the other side, interested to see the batting talents of Kusal Perera and Munaweera

 

[Executioner]

Jahurul looks like a clown with a bat in his hand. Has only 1 50 in his international career

But but but, ziaur rahman is a bigger clown ) has scored 2 ducks in the first 2 ODIs of his career. We have decent players like sabbir rahman, muktar ali in our domestics. Better than these noobs

That's true. But we have to see what they have got. Unfortunately for many BD fans, this is the squad that has been selected for the tour and available for today's T20. So they have to adjust with whatever the results these guys bring

(I do understand that Ziaur is no better hack than Jaurul, at least he won't waste too many balls to get out and surely will not make his partner at the other end to go crazy with the shots because of his impotent batting like Jahurul does time and again )

 

[ads101]

Abdul Hasan not playing?

 

[Executioner]

Abul the Don bradman is too good to play for a team like bangladesh. He is supposed to play in the era of bradman. His batting average in test 87.5 and bowling average in all formats except T20s is 100+

 

[leatherface58]

Angelo Perera!!!

What a name!

Awwww.

If only he could bowl well .

Wonder how long he'll stay in the test team too.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Kusal is playing superbly

(Offtopic - He will be a Great addition for RR)

 

[BaaliSoda]

Ball is coming so nicely to the bat today.

At the current rate, SL will be looking to score anywhere around 180 to 200.

 

[BaaliSoda]

50up for SL in just under 5 overs

Kusal has played some fantastic shots so far

 

[Sankalp]

So this will be the last international cricket match between top tier teams for some time.

​

VS​

Sri Lanka (probable): 1. Kusal Perera, 2. Dilshan Munaweera, 3. Lahiru Thirimanne, 4. Dinesh Chandimal (capt & wk), 5. Angelo Perera/Kithuruwan VIthanage, 6. Angelo Mathews, 7. Jeevan Mendis, 8. Thisara Perera, 9. Shaminda Eranga/ Chaturanga de Silva/ Ishan Jayaratne, 10. Sachithra Senanayake, 11. Lasith Malinga.

Bangladesh (probable): 1 Mohammad Ashraful, 2 Shamsur Rahman, 3 Jahurul Islam, 4 Mushfiqur Rahim (capt & wk), 5 Mahmudullah, 6 Nasir Hossain, 7 Mominul Haque, 8 Ziaur Rahman, 9 Sohag Gazi, 10 Abdur Razzak, 11 Rubel Hossain/Shahadat Hossain.

Oh the Irony )

 

[BaaliSoda]

Kusal 44 runs from just 24 balls so far

 

[BaaliSoda]

Even Tapash Baishya would be a better option than Shahadat

 

[leatherface58]

Bang bros have got some horrendous pacers. Damn! Gazi and Razzak are promising in ODI and T20 and Shakib always adds an extra layer. But pacers are really bad.

 

[BaaliSoda]

70 in 7 overs for SL (Going at 10 RPO)

A score of 200 looks very much possible

 

[BaaliSoda]

Kusal maiden 50 off just 30 balls

 

[BaaliSoda]

Chandimal appears to be the worst runner between the wickets (Mohd Yousuf style)

 

[BaaliSoda]

Chandimal gone

Razzaq strikes

 

[BaaliSoda]

Razzaq and Riyad have slowed down the scoring considerably.

Thirimanne gone

89 for 3 in the middle of 11th over

Kusal is still there batting with 56 runs from 37 balls

 

[BaaliSoda]

After scoring 64 brilliant runs off just 44 balls , Perera is gone

Riyad strikes

100 for 4 after 12 overs

 

[H2O1]

Its little dark in ground ? or its broadcaster problem?

 

[Sankalp]

6

What a shot!

 

[Sankalp]

15 extras by Bong bowlers

Can Srilanka score 200?

 

[Sankalp]

Huge 6 by Jeevan Menids...take a bow!

 

[Sankalp]

Another Four

 

[BaaliSoda]

Its little dark in ground ? or its broadcaster problem?

Not the broadcaster's fault. Set up of floodlights pylon is the reason for this.

 

[Sankalp]

Bowled...Jeevan Mendis out. Good cameo

166/5 with 13 balls to go

 

[BaaliSoda]

Thisara joins the party with a 4 followed by a 6

8 balls to go

179 for 5

 

[BaaliSoda]

BD's cricket Sharapova leaking runs left, right and center as usual

 

[BaaliSoda]

24 runs off shahadat's over

SL need at least 10 more runs form the last 6 balls to reach 200

 

[leatherface58]

Shahadat damn what(or rather whom) did he do to get into the Bangladeshi team?

 

[BaaliSoda]

Brilliant final over from Rubel

SL ends up with a mammoth 198 for 5 after their alloted 20 overs

It will require an innings of their life time from one of the BD boys to chase this big total.

 

[Executioner]

Seriously, why the hell will you play shahadat in a T20 match? This batsman has got no line, length, infact he has got nothing

Someone please take him away.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Ja Rule looks a decent bat in this format.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Looks like I jinxed him.

 

[pakistanalltheway]

Brilliant batting from Ashraful

 

[Justcrazy]

Ashraful :4 :6 :4

 

[pakistanalltheway]

 

[pakistanalltheway]

that was ridiculous

 

[Justcrazy]

68 / 3

 

[BaaliSoda]

Very unlucky for Ashraful and BD

 

[BaaliSoda]

What's worse? Ranjit fernando in the commentary is saying its plumb

 

[BaaliSoda]

Without a doubt, it was one of the worst possible LBW decision that I have seen in quite a long time

 

[Justcrazy]

81 / 3

 

[Justcrazy]

Bangladesh require another 115 runs with 7 wickets and 10.3 overs remaining

 

[pakistanalltheway]

Without a doubt, it was one of the worst possible LBW decision that I have seen in quite a long time

This
and that's the game

 

[Justcrazy]

 

[BaaliSoda]

With that wicket of Nasir, BD's chance of upstaging SL's total looks impossible now

 

[Justcrazy]

Bangladesh require another 111 runs with 6 wickets and 60 balls remaining

 

[Sankalp]

Hussain out...Bangaldesh Out

 

[Sankalp]

4

 

[Sankalp]

 

[Sankalp]

So 94 required off 48 balls. Can Bangladesh win?

 

[Sankalp]

Third umpire review for stumping

 

[Sankalp]

Not out

 

[Sankalp]

:4 by Mushfiqur. He moved to 34.

 

[BaaliSoda]

At last some fight from Riyad's bat

6 followed by 4

77 runs needed off 42 balls

 

[Sankalp]

by Riaz

 

[pakistanalltheway]

Need 72 off 40
They can do this

 

[BaaliSoda]

3 tough overs from Malinga still remains

 

[pakistanalltheway]

At the same stage sl were 108-4

 

[Sankalp]

Another :4

17 off the over. 77 required of 42 balls

 

[pakistanalltheway]

64 from the last 4 for SL that is bad
If it was maybe 40 then Bangladesh would have won this easily

 

[WebGuru]

Loving the fight shown by Bangla guys they are playing some really nice cricket

 

[Sankalp]

If Srilanka lose today, West Indies will move to no.1 ranking in T20

 

[pakistanalltheway]

Loving the fight shown by Bangla guys they are playing some really nice cricket

This . For once I am enjoying watching Bangladesh play .

 

[BaaliSoda]

This SL umpire is clearly intimidated by Lankan bowlers

 

[WebGuru]

If Srilanka lose today, West Indies will move to no.1 ranking in T20

That will happen after decades that Windies will be ranked 1st in any format of cricket. Lets see if lanka can gift it to them in a beautiful packing.

 

[BaaliSoda]

65 needed off 34 balls

 

[WebGuru]

WTH Rahim did here it was a full toss and he got out on it

 

[Sankalp]

10 off the Malinga over. 67 required now from 36 balls.

 

[WebGuru]

he gave up!

 

[BaaliSoda]

Mushfiq gone

Senanayake strikes

64 needed off 32 balls

 

[WebGuru]

Another mixup and the lost another wicket

 

[WebGuru]

Disaster!

 

[pakistanalltheway]

what was that

 

[Sankalp]

ut ut ut

Did Mushfiqur thrown the match waya?

 

[H2O1]

2 Balls 2
