Can Bangladesh avenge the heartbroken Nidhas trophy final loss ?

Or will it be business as usual for India ?

India ahead , no doubt.

Bangladesh are not out though. If they get the openers early , middle order of India will be tested.
 
There's always a chance or else I'd put my house down on India winning, but that chance is too slight. So slight, I think I might just put my house down.
 
If a Bangla win results in Dhoni getting another single digit score, then consider me in.
 
Jumme ki din- It will be a close match. BD is going to come out with flying colors. Go BD!
 
This is going to be one way afair. BD is just like PTI or IK, too much hype and cool aid by fans and nothing of substance...I am disappointed that Afghanistan did not beat them...

There is lot of similarities between them too, they both have achieved nothing yet, but will talk like as if they have already concurred the world already... I generally
found both PTI and BD fans as one of the worse on this forum :facepalm:
 
They ran us close in the Nidhas Trophy final and deserved to win. Likewise, they have done well in some finals earlier but have not been able to finish the match properly. Could cause an upset
 
I have a feeling this time, rayudu like karthik, will take up the mantle of bashing and confirm his position for another 1 year.
 
Any other team and I would have rooted for them to defeat India and expose India oldies middle order, that's how much I hate trioka of rayadu-dhoni-karthik...but considering it's Bdesh, I would prefer to see some rona dhona in stands!
 
They'll need to
1) Bat first
2) Not get stuck in first PP (atleast 45-50 for no more than 2 in first 10)
3) Get Mushfiq to control inns from 10-45 overs
4) Go aggro from ball 1 against Jadeja and Jadhav
5) Have Mahmudullah give finishing kick by taking down Bhuvi and taking 5-6 rpo off Bumrah to drag up to atleast 265
6) Get Mehidy and Fizz to dismiss Indian openers in first 6-7 overs
 
Never underestimate a bunch of motivated individuals. CT2017 had Pakistan all guns blazing, while the Indians looked disinterested. Same could happen here.
 
If they get out our openers cheaply then trust me it will be very very close match as our middle order and lower order is too bad compared to Bangaldesh middle order and lower order.
 
Without Shakib and Tamim its gonna be one sided affair. But as a BD fan I would love to see some fight against Indians. Historically BD played well against India than any other top side. To do that they have to give 120% today on the field. Only way I can see BD cause an upset if India bats first and following a batting collapse they score under 200. Perhaps then BD would do something!
 
India are obvious expected to win the final, but I feel that the team to get 260 or above on the board will win the match.

I expect it to be a much closely fought contest than what people are expecting it to be. Here´s predicting a tough contest.
 
I wouldn't write off Bangladesh and neither should India.

On their day, BD can be lethal. They have shown it.

India being the stronger side and the favorites have everything to lose here.
 
If Bangladesh bat first and score 270 then anything can happen.

India are favourites but Bangladesh are very motivated and can upset India.
