[hafeezrocks]

The forecast doesn't look too good for today's match. Is it raining at the oval?

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Jitega bhai jitega,Bangladesh jitega

 

[santos11]

Another rained out match?

 

[santos11]

Jitega bhai jitega,Bangladesh jitega

Do you think Bangladesh has a chance?

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

@;

Do you think Bangladesh has a chance?

Yes. If mehedi in and win toss.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

First day-night match of tournament.

 

[gishy]

Forecast is terrible guys

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Hope weather become good before match time.

 

[gishy]

Persistent rain predicted from around 4pm in Kennington near The Oval so this being a day nighter it's not looking good for fans with tickets.

 

[MMHS]

Don't think we'll get a full game. BBC's weather predictions are quite accurate. If they could have rescheduled this one to a day match, may be we could have got a full match.

 

[santos11]

Any update on weather?

 

[Madplayer]

Hope weather become good before match time.

Supporting Bangladesh today. Lets hunt some kangaroos

 

[dauntless]

Australia will demolish Bangladesh's bowling and hoping for a starc 5fer.

 

[santos11]

Lets see what happens.

 

[Executioner]

Not going to be an easy match. I heard pitch is good for spinners which means Shakib Fizz and Miraz will be pleased.

 

[Executioner]

BD batting first.

Miraz replacing Mosaddek. Good decision. But Imrul Kayes needs to bat well today

 

[Executioner]

Btw finally Mash wins the toss.

 

[santos11]

Brave decision by Banglas. Put up a good score first up.

 

[Executioner]

Brave decision by Banglas. Put up a good score first up.

"Bangla" is actually a language spoken even by Indians. I think it would better if you said "Bangladesh" "BD"

 

[santos11]

Bangladesh hasn't defeated Australia more than once ever.

Only team against whom they still have a weak record

 

[Executioner]

Bangladesh have done well against
SA
India
Pak
SL
NZ
England

In patches. Like Santos said Bangladesh never really had any non fluke win against Australia for a long time.

Infact we play the least against them.

 

[Madplayer]

Not going to be an easy match. I heard pitch is good for spinners which means Shakib Fizz and Miraz will be pleased.

Its a used pitch. BD will shock the Aussies today. I really hope they do. Supporting BD all the way today.

 

[santos11]

Soumya has impressive ODI SR

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Supporting BD here today.Used to be my second favourite team but the attitude of some of their fans made me hate them for a bit.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Large numbers of Bangladesh supporters in the crowd today.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Despite the dire weather forecast lots of Bangladeshis have turned out today and they'll be hoping for another Cardiff 2005. What a match that was.

[Shafi]

Looks like Tamim will be the best batsman in CT. Super Duper form

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

No swing whatsoever for Starc.
I see a 300+ score.

 

[HinderTheJinder]

Forecast isn't good lol

 

[Thomaskutty]

Commentary has been dreadful so far in this edition of the Champions trophy.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

BD loosing it

 

[saeed5646]

boring match

 

[saeed5646]

hazlewood is class

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Atrocious from Bdesh.

I hope it rains else it will be total annihilation.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

boring match

Not as pak's

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Aussie bowlers using the pitch very well. World class bowling till now.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Very slow 50 comes up for BD. Hope they can accelerate later and make 320 at least.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Need to accelerate now.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Aussie's fielding being world class today. At least saved 20 runs till now

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Rotate rotate hit rotate rotate rotate. Come on guys, start to accelerate score board now.

 

[santos11]

Rotate rotate hit rotate rotate rotate. Come on guys, start to accelerate score board now.

2 wickets gone so they will be cautious Now.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

poor by BD and some good bowling by aussies.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Only rain can save BD I think

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

BD is now in all kind of trouble.

 

[santos11]

Oh 3rd gone. Disaster.

 

[dauntless]

Don't think Bangladesh is scoring more than 250

 

[captain crook]

And the great Rahim doesn't even bother to review.. God this guy is truly funny )

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Rahim would have been not out had he reviewed that.

 

[captain crook]

Looks like Bangladesh are hell bent on result. They're trying to finish the match before the rain can come.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Can shakib deliver today???? Can he be saviour of bd.?

 

[Gabbar Singh]

It's going to start raining cats and dogs in a couple of hours time. As long as Bangladesh bat out their overs they'll get a point after the match is abandoned. But if they get bowled out in 30-35 overs Australia may just have enough time to chase a small total before the heavens open.

 

[HinderTheJinder]

Can shakib deliver today???? Can he be saviour of bd.?

The only saviour for Bangladesh here can be rain.Bangladeshis need to pray for rain and its Ramzan and it might come true

 

[bluevision]

How is the pitch? What's the par score?
If there is no result and Aussie ends up with 2 Points from 2 marches, how will it have an impact on the 2 leaders of this group?

 

[Mainul]

Bangladesh and Bangladesh fans need not panic by this slow batting.They should target 250 at least.This is a used surface,not going to be a 320 pitch.If Bangladesh hurry up now and lose wickets,game over.But if they keep calm and accelerate later,they have a chance.Just play well fashioned game,keep wickets intact up to 40.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Poor batting by Bangladesh so far.Good bowling too by the Aussies.

 

[MMHS]

Need to kick Imrul out - turning into MoHa of BD, somehow manages to sneak in.

 

[saeed5646]

Not as pak's

both are boring

Also overcast Oval is a tough place to bat. But shot selection wasn't good by couple of batsmen.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Slow pitch.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

both are boring

we need win now,not exciting match. A win against aussie's is much better than exciting lost match

 

[Mainul]

Australia's body language has been superb so far. They are fielding very well with lot of energy,jumping ,diving,running.Bangladesh has been pushed to the corner,psychologically also.Mushfiqur didn't bother to review even.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

270 would be match winning total on this slow pitch. Come on BD,make 270.

 

[saeed5646]

we need win now,not exciting match. A win against aussie's is much better than exciting lost match

if you don,t score 300 against this aus batting you will be in trouble 9 out of ten time

ban need atleast 275 because it is used pitch

 

[Mainul]

270 would be match winning total on this slow pitch. Come on BD,make 270.

Sakib needs to step up today.A good innings with the bat,good spell with the ball a long due for him.

 

[dauntless]

Shakib used to be a good batsman.I don't know what has happened to him.Used to like him a lot.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

The only saviour for Bangladesh here can be rain.Bangladeshis need to pray for rain and its Ramzan and it might come true

And also we don't need you

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

First SIX from Tamim.

 

[dauntless]

What a brilliant shot that was! One of the best in the tournament so far

 

[troodon]

Aus are such a great side. Always have been and always will be.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Again FOUR

 

[troodon]

Athar Ali getting excited.

 

[Mainul]

Tamim is easily the best opener in subcontinent.Class player.Hope there is no curse by my comment.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Aussie,world class fielding,you beauty. Wish bd could field like this.

 

[troodon]

Joy Bongla.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

50 for Tamim. Congrats. Make it Century.

 

[Jatt_bonebreaker]

This bangla player Tamim has SWAG...

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

FOUR from starc's first ball of this over

 

[santos11]

I am thinking about starting a Tamim Iqbal v/s Saeed Anwar - Better ODI Batsman - Thread.
