[WhenSultansBowled]

Let's go Bangladesh! Win the game & send Indians home.

 

[King Kong]

Come on India. Let's score 400. Been a while since we did that. What is the biggest victory in terms of run-margin in ODIs?

 

[Karun]

Yo.. Common India... Lets live upto expectations...

 

[Saeed]

Indian batting is strong, they will chase down whatever target Bangladesh sets. So Bangladesh must bat 2nd if they want to win this match.

 

[Amirforpresident]

What kind of pitch are they going to play on? A used one or a new laid one?

 

[kingusama92]

What kind of pitch are they going to play on? A used one or a new laid one?

Fresh pitch and it's an absolute road.

300+ coming up.

 

[Executioner]

Its going to be a road. A slow wicket would mean a big advantage for Bangladesh because we are used to playing on the wickets like the one in cardiff yesterday.

But flat wickets really don't suit our game. Our bowlers don't really on bounce or seam movement, they really on swing, changes of pace, and grip for the cutters. These things won't be available

But so far the tournament has been balanced, it hasn't been all batsman's game. One of the finalists has been average with the bat but bowling has pulled them through

 

[Executioner]

66-34 to India

So I hope BD comes out all guns blazing. Nothing to lose

 

[Executioner]

I just heard that Star Sports showed the photoshopped image of Taskin and Dhoni. Thats absolute rubbish if the did so.

I mean this is a random picture on the net and we dont know who made it. These things should be kept aside.

 

[Madplayer]

Should be a straight forward win for BD. No pressure boys.

Kohli will be under pressure of expectations and he is due a failure with the bat too.

BD should target Dhawan who has been the spinal cord of the batting line up.

Start sport's standard are dropping lower day by day . There was the cringefest called "Sledgehanmmer" during the IND-AUS tests. !

They are pandering to the lowest common denominator Indians these days, the people who forward anything on whatsapp, and diss on anyone and everyone in the name of Faux nationalism. This just spreads unecessary hate and and a very biased narrative. What those Bangla trolls did was on social media, why bring it to National TV ?

He got out for a duck against SL.

They were talking about social media rivalry in the past whenever these sides collide.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

300th ODI for Yuvraj Singh, kudos to him for making a comeback after life threatening cancer.

I feel this all is garbage IMO.

I know my Indian friends, they wouldn't stoop so low as some of the trolls. Same can be said about the Bangladeshis I know. Sharing a picture of severed head of Dhoni is just cringeworthy. There are ofcourse some cringy people who are behind the picture.

But THIS IS NATIONAL TV. A lot of kids these days watch TV. Heck, Star Sports is filled with condom ads these days.

 

[Madplayer]

He got out for a duck against SL.

I forgot that he usually doesnt fail twice in one series or tournament.

 

[Executioner]

Fair enough, but better to not display anything. Infact, social media rivalry should be kept to social media.

True that. There is new picture of lions chasing Kohli. Its ridiculously funny. I dont know how they have the audacity to come up with these pictures having been whooped by India time and again. I guess some things never change.

Passion is great but this comes across as stupidity. BD fans might wana show photoshop skills with WI, Zim or AFG

Incorrect tigers chasing Kohli as Bdesh team are referred as Bdesh tigers. SL and ENG are called lions.

 

[ToeCrusher2]

LOL India win the toss, Game over for bangladesh

 

[Executioner]

Damn. We are batting first.

Overcast conditions, possibility of rain. We needed a bit of luck our way, but not to be. And our history of losing toss in crucial matches continue

 

[abhayjj]

India wins the toss, Fielding first.

 

[shokz1408]

India chasing. Game over Bangladesh

 

[big_gamer007]

India to bowl first, with Kohli we have become better chasers so that's a win for India..

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

India chasing. Game over Bangladesh

No. If they post 250+ and pick Kohli early they will have a very good chance to nick this one.

 

[Executioner]

I can guarantee that our toss win percentage during crucial matches is 25% at most.

 

[ToeCrusher2]

Lol shastri taking digs at England, says poms still moaning, this an asia cup final

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Both teams are unchanged.

My guess BD - 275/7

 

[King Kong]

Just don't understand the need to jinx. Do those guys really believe in it? I get irritated when people constantly try to jinx.

 

[King Kong]

Love how Bangla fans always whine and moan that they don't win the toss. It's as if they would win all games if they won the toss lol.

 

[shokz1408]

No. If they post 250+ and pick Kohli early they will have a very good chance to nick this one.

Batting is too strong, 300 would be a minimum par score just to compete. 350 and they'd feel they're really in the game, even then I see India chasing it down easily enough..

 

[cric_fanatic]

Incorrect tigers chasing Kohli as Bdesh team are referred as Bdesh tigers. SL and ENG are called lions.

Yes. Sorry tigers

My guess BD - 275/7

Hopefully we make more than 58 all out.

 

[big_gamer007]

Should have brought in Umesh back in place of Ashwin, against Bangladesh Umesh would have caused more trouble in overcast condition..

 

[ToeCrusher2]

If it swings and seams, then bangla < 100 all out against bhuvi, if the conditions aren't that bad then around 200 all out

 

[SandyB]

Restricting Tamim is key. Shakib plays better while chasing

 

[JaDed]

Should be a straight forward win for BD. No pressure boys.

Kohli will be under pressure of expectations and he is due a failure with the bat too.

BD should target Dhawan who has been the spinal cord of the batting line up.

Kohli Glgot a duck against Lanka.

 

[big_gamer007]

Hopefully we make more than 58 all out.

Wrist slitting already started?? Let the match start first my friend

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

300th ODI for Yuvraj Singh, kudos to him for making a comeback after life threatening cancer.

Only shows that man has heart of a champion.

Coming back from an injury requires a lot of courage, tenacity and belief in your body (Injured my left knee playing basketball and was heartbroken).

Cancer is as close to death as you can get.

280/9

 

[shokz1408]

I predict 246/9 at 50 overs

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

147 a.o

 

[JaDed]

New pitch, Bangla boys are scoring 300, hopefully we can restrict.

 

[King Kong]

Really wished Bangladesh won the toss. Was hoping for 400 from India. Now I have to watch a pretty boring match with Bangla struggling their way to 250 with India chasing it down with ultra ease.

The is his last hurrah. Hopefully the champ makes a big score today!

 

[BlueAngel]

Most of the people are predicting 270-280. My predictions are the same.

Not a bad total for India to chase.

After watching Pak vs SA and Eng, I wouldn't bet IND to win for sure against BD. Match is not even half way through so do not make assumptions it will be one sided. BD tigers will give their best shot today for sure.

 

[SandyB]

Can't let the Bangla Bros get off to a flying start.

 

[Coconut]

How come India always win important tosses. Match is already over for Bangladesh. There is no way Bangladesh is defending any score against India

 

[big_gamer007]

300th ODI for Yuvraj Singh, kudos to him for making a comeback after life threatening cancer.

The player who brought smile to billion hearts by his performance in 2007 and 2011 WC wins.. Such a clutch player in big tournaments and without him we would not have won either of the WC's.. I hope he retires after this tournament after winning it, it will be the perfect farewell gift to a legend..

Kudos to him for completing 300 ODI's

 

[nik45hil]

Less than 200 for bangla boys here

 

[Coconut]

That coin needs to be checked first

The coin is rigged by BCCI, the match referees are in BCCI's pocket..

Pouring,is there a reserve day?

[MENTION=130260]Executioner[/MENTION] my heart beats for u today..go bangla and play fearless crickt

Pig3 Chitting ICC greedy fr Ind-Pak final money.

 

[big_gamer007]

Walsh is bowling coach?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Is there a chance for washout? That would be a bummer. I would abuse ECB for the next one week if that were to happen.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Pouring,is there a reserve day?

no . if it's washed out #INDvsPAk

 

[King Kong]

Man I predicted they would score 250 because that's the best they could get if they bat out of their skins, or else my prediction would have been 150 all out. Don't compare them with Pakistan as the latter has a far better bowling attack. I have always maintained that Pakistan is a much better team than Bangladesh and can beat any team whereas for Bangladesh to make it happen, lots of things have to go their way. They have improved, but still a long way to go. They are at the same level as Sri Lanka and that's because Bangla players have more experience. Potential wise, Sri Lanka are better than Bangladesh.

 

[DRsohail]

luck is with india,,such a crucial toss to win...

 

[abhayjj]

The coin is rigged by BCCI, the match referees are in BCCI's pocket..

and the best thing is they can't do jack about it

They should accept the reality and learn to live with it

 

[Coconut]

Lol, pitch reporter was saying that it's a bat first pitch. As if anybody gives a damn about what he believes. Everybody knows that the team that will win the toss and bowl first will win the match.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Na ISHQ MEIN....NA PYAR MEIN..... JO MAZA HAY INDIA KI HAAR MEIN

Let's Go Bang Bros !!!!!

 

[GOAT999]

Someone tell me what happens if it's washed out super over

I just heard that Star Sports showed the photoshopped image of Taskin and Dhoni. Thats absolute rubbish if the did so.

Did we ever won a toss when it mattered?

We won the toss of second match of the test series against Lanka.

luck is not with bangladesh...bowling first here would have been great for tigers...game is 20% already lost wathcing overcast.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Looks like it is a road as per the commies. Driest pitch. So seamers won't do much here which is a good news for Bangladesh.

 

[prayas]

luck is not with bangladesh...bowling first here would have been great for tigers...game is 20% already lost wathcing overcast.

Bangladesh won 5 toss of last 20 matches so u can't complain

 

[khurram39]

at the moment rain is winning.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bangladesh should relax and enjoy the game.

 

[MRSN]

A shorter game would suite Bangladesh

 

[jnaveen1980]

Yuvi's 300th game.
