ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2021 | Day 1 | 17 October, 2021 | Matches Discussion

Good comeback for Scotland. I thought they would be all out for 80.

This total wont win them this match, but if things comes down to NRR these runs they scored today might save them. Oman already got a big win.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Get 2-3 early wickets and it’s game on. Scotland should give the first over to Watt.

 

[Mesozoic]

This total is right in BD's alley with their solid middle order of Shakib, Mushfiq and Riyadh. Scotland have to pull of something special.

NRR will most likely be immaterial.

Oman vs Scotland game will be a virtual playoff for the 2nd spot as Bangladesh will most likely win all their games and and PNG will lose theirs.

 

[sweep_shot]

Bangladesh lose their first wicket. 8/1.

Game on?

 

[Rajdeep]

It wont be a straightforward chase for Bangladesh. They can almost certainly crumble under pressure.

 

[sweep_shot]

I am scratching my head why Bangladesh played Soumya over Naim. Naim is a much better option.

 

[sweep_shot]

Bangladesh - 10/1 after 2 overs (target: 141).

 

[sweep_shot]

If Scotland can get Shakib out quickly, they can win this.

 

[sweep_shot]

Bangladesh - 17/1 after 3 overs (target: 141).

[sweep_shot]

18/2. What's going on? LOL.

Litton departs.

 

[Rana]

So Scotland is where all the Saffers are at?

 

[Rajdeep]

A mentally weak team like BD who has reputation of epic chokes should never have opted to chase. Suddenly 141 is looking like a daunting target.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Game on.
However it's a batting wicket. Mushy, Shakib and Mahmadullah should win it easily for BD.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Bring on WATT, don’t let them settle

 

[sweep_shot]

Bangladesh - 19/2 after 4 overs (target: 141).

 

[Rajdeep]

Game on.
However it's a batting wicket. Mushy, Shakib and Mahmadullah should win it easily for BD.

Ahsan Raza just saved Mushy...looked out real time

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Ahsan Raza thought mushy was 5ft

 

[sweep_shot]

Mushfiq survives a close LBW call. Umpire's call.

 

[sweep_shot]

Bangladesh - 22/2 after 5 overs (target: 141).

 

[Mesozoic]

Still in Bangladesh's control.

They bat incredibly deep until Saifudin at 9.

 

[sweep_shot]

Why review that? Poor review.

 

[sweep_shot]

I think Scotland may win this one. Bangladesh are struggling.

 

[sweep_shot]

Bangladesh - 25/2 after 6 overs (target: 141).

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

What pathetic cricket by Bangladesh. Need to be more brave. Only 25 runs in PP.
RR over 8 now.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Bangladesh doing Tuk Tuk vs Scotland

 

[Rana]

I think Scotland may win this one. Bangladesh are struggling.

Mushy was very lucky as well

 

[sweep_shot]

Bangladesh - 28/2 after 7 overs (target: 141).

 

[Mesozoic]

Pathetic batting from Mushfiqur so far.

 

[sweep_shot]

Mushy was very lucky as well

Definitely.

If I were the umpire, I probably would've given that out. That was very close.

 

[Major]

Terrible batting bangladesh. Your a test member and show that out their. Terrible runrate

 

[Mesozoic]

30 balls without a boundary.

 

[Smbhayi]

Thats a no ball.. thats bowled from miles behind the wicket.. what umpires doing?

 

[Asif321]

What lol BD struggling against Scotland

 

[sweep_shot]

Bangladesh - 34/2 after 8 overs (target: 141).

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

This will be a huge upset

 

[sweep_shot]

Back to back sixes from Mushfiq.

Big over for BD.

 

[sweep_shot]

Bangladesh - 54/2 after 9 overs (target: 141).

20 from the over. Big over for BD.

 

[sweep_shot]

89 runs are needed from 66 balls.

Scottish spinners are the weak links here. BD should target them.

 

[sweep_shot]

Bangladesh - 59/2 after 10 overs (target: 141).

82 runs are needed from final 10 overs.

 

[Mesozoic]

Think Bangladesh should pull a sneaky one, lose one of these games to finish 2nd and end up in Group 1 which is filled with teams that are poor against spin bowling.

Don't think they have it in them to make the semis after playing India, Pakistan and Afghanistan.

 

[sweep_shot]

Bangladesh - 65/2 after 11 overs (target: 141).

 

[sweep_shot]

Shakib is gone! Big wicket for Scotland.

65/3.

 

[Major]

) such a badd bowl and he grts out

 

[Mesozoic]

He could have smacked that all the way to Dhaka. What a ball to get out!!

 

[sweep_shot]

Bangladesh - 73/3 after 12 overs (target: 141).

 

[Rajdeep]

Serves BD well after dishing out those rubbish pitches back home.

 

[Mesozoic]

Pressure back on BD.

Incredible over by Watt.

 

[sweep_shot]

Bangladesh - 74/3 after 13 overs (target: 141).

Top over from Scotland. Just one from it.

 

[sweep_shot]

Mushfiq is out.

74/4.

Scotland are now favorites.

 

[Rana]

Greaves gives a hit me ball every second ball.

Needs to stop bowling after this over

 

[Major]

Bangladesh ) terrible terrible way to get out to a terrible bowler.

Plz ban bangladesh from crixket they are a joke of aTeam

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Rahim gone

 

[Major]

Greaves gives a hit me ball every second ball.

Needs to stop bowling after this over

Terrible bowling and twrrible Bangladesh

 

[Rajdeep]

Scotland ahead in win predictor. Wow

 

[Rana]

Watching Bangladesh today as a neutral made me think how people view Pakistan when they are having one of their stinkers chasing against Minnows

 

[sweep_shot]

Bangladesh - 80/4 after 14 overs (target: 141).

61 runs are needed from 6 overs.

 

[Rana]

Shakib is in no form whatsoever


He is so lucky that they have these 3 qualifiers to find his form

Scotland have beaten Bangladesh before in a T20 game. Back in 2012. That was in Scotland.

 

[Rana]

Mahmudullah doing an Asif Ali here

 

[Rana]

Wow, superb fielding by Scotland

The Saffers setting the standards

 

[Mesozoic]

Should never have let Scotland get to 140 on this wicket.. Especially after having them at 53/6.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Muhammadullah here should get bangladesh home. He is experienced.

 

[sweep_shot]

Correction. Venue was Netherlands.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Should never have let Scotland get to 140 on this wicket.. Especially after having them at 53/6.

One more wicket here and bangladesh will. Pay the price

 

[sweep_shot]

Bangladesh - 87/4 after 15 overs (target: 141).

 

[Rana]

Athar Ali Khan sounds like he needs some energy drink

 

[Rana]

This Afif guy looks dangerous

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Required rate now over 12.

 

[sweep_shot]

Bangladesh - 92/4 after 16 overs (target: 141).

Come on..Any team can have a bad day...It's
T20..margin is too small

 

[Mesozoic]

Mahmudullah is losing it here. In fact all the 3 seniors have bottled it royally. All on Afif Hossain.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Good over for bangladesh but rate required is still over 12.

 

[sweep_shot]
