ICC Champions Trophy, Group A : England [308/2] beat Bangladesh [305/6] by 8 wickets

[JibranAnsari]

They should give overs to fiz now.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Bowling letting BD down.

100 up for eng.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Lol overestimating england so much , they are never gonna chase this

 

[santos11]

Lol overestimating england so much , they are never gonna chase this

Okay let's see

 

[syed abbas]

Can't believe that Rubel was preferred over Taskin.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

After 20 overs Eng 110/1.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Mustafiz should bowl now.They need a breakthrough.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Shakib should be kicked out of the team for some time

 

[Syed1]

Halka leh gaye thay tum log Angraiz ko. Bhai aglay bhi khelnay aye hain... Filhaal tou asaani se kar rahay hain.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Oh it seems he is already bowling,from the other end.

 

[Executioner]

Tbh there is nothing in the wickets. All the wickets that fell in this match were when the Batsman try to hit out.

Guess the number of caught behind, LBW, bowled out so far? 0

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Shakib should be kicked out of the team for some time

Why?He is the GOAT Bangladeshi cricketer.

 

[Executioner]

Someone like Miraz would have been vital.

The pitch is a flat wicket

 

[fasihulhaq94]

looks pretty much over for bd

 

[Executioner]

It's not that Shakib's bowling poorly. Just that his bowling lost a bit of venom.

 

[Syed1]

These are garbage pitches. No balance between bat and ball.

 

[lonex]

50 more runs without loss of a wicket. It will be in bag for England.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

BD needs 2-3 quick wickets.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Bangladesh will win this.....You heard it first here.....

Incoming English choke.....in.... 3....2....1...

here we go

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Superb batting by these two.

 

[yasir]

BD don't have fast bowlers to trouble ENG, looking easy for them. Only Fizz has trouble them with cutters, rest are nothing special...

For ENG wood was standout, fast bowlers would matter. AUS with Strac, Cummins, HW would be tough unit to beat!!

 

[Executioner]

Tbh Shakib has lost his bowling edge. Obviously he was the best allrounder world for a while but as a bowler alone he was world class for a long time but post 2015 world cup his bowling has lost venom. I think the pitches of modern era has made his bowling useless. Also failure in his part to adapt but he also was rather busy with his batting

 

[Pollack]

Bangladesh will win this.....You heard it first here.....

Incoming English choke.....in.... 3....2....1...

here we go

England has no tail. They would go berserk.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Mustafiz the only hope now.

 

[Commander]

This was a 330+ pitch. Bangladesh bottled it after a good start. England will chase this down very easily

 

[Executioner]

BD don't have fast bowlers to trouble ENG, looking easy for them. Only Fizz has trouble them with cutters, rest are nothing special...

England Pacers didn't do much either. They didn't bowl any real wicket taking deliveries either.

It's a flat wicket

 

[fasihulhaq94]

how annoying is this crowd

 

[santos11]

how annoying is this crowd

What happened?

 

[yasir]

England Pacers didn't do much either. They didn't bowl any real wicket taking deliveries either.

It's a flat wicket

Wood, Liam controlled the flow of runs, death bowling was real difference...Fizz is bowling well here, but he is only one guy, they can see him off and milk others...Teams have been doing that to Amir as well...You need atleast 3 really good bowlers to control the game on these flat pitches.

 

[Friend786]

Win predictor showing 77% for bangladesh??

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Good Shot!!!

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Win predictor showing 77% for bangladesh??

It is taking only current rate and required run rate into count not number of wickets.

 

[On_the_up]

England cantering at the moment.

 

[On_the_up]

It is taking only current rate and required run rate into count not number of wickets.

No officially, it takes a lot more into account than just run rate required, but that figure is remarkable.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Win predictor showing 77% for bangladesh??

The win predictor is somewhat correct, it will actually take a herculean effort from the poms to be anywhere close to this target.

Still a fair amount of cricket left in this match....

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Match going out of BD's hands now.

 

[KingKhanWC]

England Pacers didn't do much either. They didn't bowl any real wicket taking deliveries either.

It's a flat wicket

They didn't need to . Tamin played for personal glory knowing he needed a strike rate of a 100 at the minimum .

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Sabbir bowling now.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Bds bowling looking extremely toothless.

 

[yasir]

The win predictor is somewhat correct, it will actually take a herculean effort from the poms to be anywhere close to this target.

Still a fair amount of cricket left in this match....

Why?? - You are thinking like a Pakistani :

World has move on from 300 as Herculean chase, that is normal, actually below par...They will be done with 3-5 overs to spare !!

 

[HitWicket]

The win predictor is somewhat correct, it will actually take a herculean effort from the poms to be anywhere close to this target.

Still a fair amount of cricket left in this match....

You're kidding right? Walking it at the moment.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

 

[KingKhanWC]

England are cruising this . You won't see a much easier run chase over 300...ever !

 

[Arsalan Pro]

 

[JibranAnsari]

Is sabbir a part timer?

 

[Executioner]

They didn't need to . Tamin played for personal glory knowing he needed a strike rate of a 100 at the minimum .

He anchored the innings. And he already has so many accolades he didn't need to play for himself.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

 

[JibranAnsari]

Big wicket for BD , collapse coming.

 

[Executioner]

Is sabbir a part timer?

As much as Asad Shafiq

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Hales gone for 95.

 

[On_the_up]

Out next ball

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

BD loosing it by 7 wickets

 

[JibranAnsari]

BD needs to increase the rrr now.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

As much as Asad Shafiq

Shafiq can't take the wicket of Hales.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Here we go !!

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Mash should give ball to mahmudullah now

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Need 2-3 more.

 

[yasir]

Here we go !!

Again, ENG has different attitude, it was a fluke wicket. There is no collapse coming, wicket has no turn or grip...

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Edge and four.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Here we go !!

The horse has bolted

The ship has sailed

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Mash should give ball to mahmudullah now

Only part timers can take wickets now.

 

[yasir]

Mashrafe, why in the world this guy is in the team?? - He is there Misbah, he is too old, too slow, completely unfit to play at this level

 

[WC-Passion]

Joe Root looks hurt hope it's nothing too serious.

 

[troodon]

Should be easy for England from here.

 

[Executioner]

Shafiq can't take the wicket of Hales.

Anyone can take a wicket if they try

 

[MSaad1237]

Root seems to be the only solid batsman in this English lineup ..

 

[Khwaja]

Prediction England chases it in 35.2 overs with 7 wickets in hand

 

[troodon]

Mashrafe, why in the world this guy is in the team?? - He is there Misbah, he is too old, too slow, completely unfit to play at this level

Misbah is not slow and very fit. Misbah can hit a few big ones.

Masrafe cannot bowl or bat. Mark Ealham type player.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Mash,come on,bring riyadh

 

[Mp812]

Basically a 20-20 game now

England require another 126 runs with 8 wickets and 18.5 overs remaining

 

[yasir]

Misbah is not slow and very fit. Misbah can hit a few big ones.

Masrafe cannot bowl or bat. Mark Ealham type player.

Misbah is one of the main reason Pakistan has been run down the ground. He was very uninspiring, too old, Loved filling up team with old players(whole culture moved from young and exciting to old and boring cricketers), too much spin (low and slow centric), defensive mindset, he has killed the sole of Cricket in Pakistan...It will take a decade or so before we get back on feet, Misbah and his ECO system has done so much damage :

 

[troodon]

Easy chase.

With Buttler/Stokes/Ali/Plunket to come, this will be over in no time.

 

[troodon]

I will take Misbah over Mashrafe any day.

 

[KyoOne]

Poor team selection. Mehdi should have played over Mosaddek (part timer).

Tamim was selfish, only world-class batsman in the team, he should have been more responsible.

Only one winner from here on. Piece of cake for this English side

 

[idrizzy]

Lol overestimating england so much , they are never gonna chase this

...

 

[troodon]

England taking it too easy. Just scoring 4 or 5 runs.

Still lots of overs and big hitters to come.

 

[Khwaja]

100 required from 16 overs for England. Can BD choke like THEY did in the warm ups: conceding 95 runs in less than 7 overs?

 

[fasihulhaq94]

Misbah is one of the main reason Pakistan has been run down the ground.

well at least he didn't kill the soul of pakistan cricket. Soles can be replaced.

 

[Executioner]

We needed those extra 20-30 runs

 

[JibranAnsari]

Yes , great catch.

Poms in trouble now.
