The million dollar question that everyone in the world is asking.

Tigers went into the CT with great performances in the recent past. They already got close to winning a match, rather than the usual hearts, when they scored 300+ vs. Pakistan in the warm up game.

But now the tournament has started. What are the chances?
 
They are in a tough group, besides most bd fans want Australia to go through as they are a much better team.

I reckon they would've beaten Pakistan. India and Sri Lanka easily if they were in our group, as they're the 2nd best team from Asia. Right?
 
hhahahaha i see what you did their

i love that fact that many certain fans turned into very polite and sensible actor after there team

worse performance but i think they are hard done by icc they would have beat No 1 side africa and

No 3 side india easily had they were put in our group.Pak would have cake walk for them .Damn you icc
 
After all these 'upsets', Bangladesh must be feeling hopeful today!!!

If they can't win even today, then...
 
This surely is BANGLA'S best chance...
but if RONCHI gets it right today no one can stop NZ from winning.
 
bd already win half match with rain dancing
if rain come to pary again he get 1point
1+1=2 =one match " dil to kosh ho jay gha"
:snack:

there are still tickets available for London to Dhaka biman flight tonight . They should book them urgently incase they miss the flight
 
I can confidently say we will topple the Kiwis. The other group is easier and yes we would be strong favorites to beat Lanka and Pakistan. Saffers are chokers so we'd likely have gone through from that group.
 
lol at srilanka weak and ban strong favorites they beat you at home month ago in odi series so better

be sensible .they will win against you easily
 
Nope they can't! Their bowling us not good enough to beat any team.worst bowling unit they have in champions trophy.
 
No. Bangladesh may have the number 6 ranking but they don't have it in them to beat big Top 5 teams, especially in ICC tournaments. That's what puts Pakistan and Sri Lanka above them for me, the ability to win big pressure games. Bangadesh can play good cricket but the minnow mentality hasn't fazed. Maybe today is the day I'm proven wrong but I just don't think Bangaldesh have it in them to beat New Zealand today.

Also have the worst bowling attack in the tournament. Teams ike SA, India, Australia and England could probably chase 400 against them

We will roar today. Tigers on the prowl.
 
Their batting looks too dependant on Tamim right now, seems like they would be chasing around 300 today so someone else needs to step up as well and not just rely on Tamim..
 
Damn, seems like NZ is bottling it.

They were set to make 300+, now losing the plot. Golden chance for BD to grab a win somehow.
 
If Bangladesh bottle this, they should be seriously disappointed. It is a massive opportunity.

Not sure to be honest - would have been comfortable with 250. Had it not been a QF type match, probably would have been firm favorite. Last time in SRL, we had the chance to win the Series - it started 12/3 & then 37/4 ................

Doesn't look like a belter of a pitch so scoring may not be too easy.

If openers click you're winning it. Otherwise not.

Unlikely they will make same mistakes. The platform is well set by the bowlers. BD should be able to chase comfortably

+1 It's a below average score. I'll even back fragile Pak batting to chase it down
 
It's a "set batsman's" wicket - small ground with lightning out field, but a bit tricky wicket. Whoever is in, must score big.
 
Bangladesh been a waste of space in the Champions Trophy. Would been better if West Indies would have been in it instead. Would been more competitive. Bangladesh playing like a minnow as always. Shame they been playing for so long but still when it matters in big tournaments they play like their standards like minnows.
 
:))) :))) :)))

Like I said earlier, Bangla have done decent recently in the bilaterals at home, but they still cannot get past that mentality and compete with the big boys at a big stage.
 
now this is over musfiq is bowled

feeling sorry for the some of delusional bengali fans

Actually they more need the experience to play in eng,aus,sa.
 
Well done Bangladesh. I see a passion in Bangladesh team which is missing in Pakistan these days. Developing a clinical attitude. Kudos to the new rising star of Asian cricket! :salute

That's exactly what boys did - good job done. Now Poms need to man up & kick Aussies out...
