ICC World Cup 2023: Bangladesh (282/7) defeat Sri Lanka (279) by 3 wickets in a match marred by controversy

Whoever changed Shakibs batting stance needs a sacking. Must be Jamie Siddons. His balance looks awful
 
Dream batting wicket to bat on. Liton Das missed out. Opening pair designed to fail. A youngster with little experience prior asia cup, a dasher who has to be watchful as his partner is newbie and also score definitely has confused Das big time this cwc. With Tamim he goes hard and Tamim anchors.
 
Need to take singles, twos. Not always about boundaries. I get that it’s a small boundary. But can’t build up the dots. Both out of form batsmen here need to take it past 180.

Even Liton Das stance looks changed from 2019 WC. Or if I remember correctly Nidhas trophy he looked so dangerous smashed quick runs in that 214 run chase.

That's all they need. They can win with singles and doubles. RRR is less than 6.

There's dew now too.
 
Bangladesh doesn't have a rhythm yet in their batting. One reason Afghanistan batting has surged ahead of some of the Asian sides is because they are impressive against short balls. You can't bully some of their players with short stuffs. They play pull shots convincingly.
 
Do they have Ramiz Raja in com box for all BD matches just for fun? Cannot be a coincidence lol
 
Runs are coming. With dew around it is going to get tougher and tougher for bowlers. BD should chase this one easily unless they collapse for no reason.
 
We have no hope with this sl team on Thursday its all down to weather

The Lankans are seething, they will come at them like its Armageddon. Lots still to happen I think given the circumstances.
 
Switch the bails Mendis, switch the bails....

Hopefully all this ball changing time is taken into account when calculating SL over rate...
 
BD - 97/2 (17 overs).

183 runs are needed from 198 balls.

No risk needs to be taken. Just need to bat like Afghanistan (take it deep).
 
Athar Ali khan's tones is a give away whether BD is doing well or not. He is excited. I think BD got this. On pace deliveries are coming on nicely.
 
With Ranatunga at the helm not sure what the future holds for SL cricketers IPL embargo may be
 
RRR is 5.31.

No need to take big risks. Take it deep. That should be BD's approach.
 
The standards of spin in Sl are very poor, this Is the land of Murali and Herath (1400) Test wickets

Spin quality has gone down definitely.

I feel like they should try Prabath Jayasuriya in ODI (the guy who did well in Test).
 
50 Partnership. The pair of Najimul Hossain Shanto and Skahib-Al-Hasan bring up the fifty-run stand
 
Sl have also inherited the fishing quality from Pakistan batsman, seems every youngster in SL wants to be T20 player therefore no technique to play swing
 
SL spinners have proven to be very mediocre outside of gripping wickets and mediocre opposition .

Poor fielding standards and out cricket as well .

They are not someone who can beat batsman in flight and threaten batsmen. They are excellent T20 defensive bowlers. Afghans are miles better than them.
 
BD - 141/2 (22.1 overs).

139 are needed from 167 balls.

100 runs partnership came up.

Afghans have the best spin attack in Asia (I think it is better than India's when all things are considered).

Their weakness is pace.
 
disappointed with outcome of the result - Athar.

Their pace is good as well these days. Farooqui, Naveen. They are slowly but surely becoming a force.
 
Najimullah Hossain Shanto managed to bring up his half-century as he leads along with the skipper, Shakib-Al-Hasan to drive their chase of 280 against Sri Lanka.
 
Impossibel to bowl conditions now. This is why protecting your wickets in the first 10 overs is very important.
 
Ya. there was a stat that showed BD is the weakest team against short ball. They have to get over by preparing pitches that offer a lot of bounce in domestics. Some of the Srilankan pitches offer a lot of bounce.

They are not accurate either for T 20 spinners. They get away on gripping decks back home but on flat Indian decks their lack of quality has been exposed

True. In world T20, 2022 Stoinis murdered the entire srilankan spinning unit
 
Shakib reaches his fifty.

BD - 161/2 (25 overs).

119 more runs are required from 150 balls.
 
Shakib finally with a 50 CWC23. Got lucky with the drop earlier. But made use of it.
 
If BD can win with 5-6 overs to spare, that can repair their NRR a bit (probably enough to secure CT 2025 qualification).
 
Seems like BD enjoy playing in Delhi. They beat India in a T20 match 2019 at this ground, the only other time they played there!
 
As it is the totala on this ground was below par. With dew formation that is like chasing 230.
 
Poor stuffs from Lankans arguing with the umpires and wasting time. Tactics to slow the game down.
 
No difference change of ball will make: Waqar younis.
It will get wet and slippery again. : Waqar Younjs

The rivalry isn't that big among players.

It is only big among fans.

I am not too fussy about it though. I see it like any other game.

There is some i can see since that Nidahas trophy I heard some incident happened before that. From that point on the rivalry is going on.
 
I am all for rivalries. It makes matches interesting. Afhganistan vs Pakistan is another one.

It started from Nidahas Trophy. Yes.

BD knocked out Sri Lanka and then celebrated with that nagin dance. Things got heated.

So, Sri Lankan fans supported India in final. Sri Lankan fans did nagin dances when BD lost.

From there, it snowballed.
