ICC World Cup 2023: India (261/3) remain unbeaten as they defeat Bangladesh (256/8) by 7 wickets

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Will there be a rendition of the Nagin dance today?

Don't think so

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

If this doesn't motivate BD to beat India, nothing will.

Players surely have not heard this

 

[kron]

That was a decent attack. Woakes, Willey, Stokes, Moeen, Adil Rashid, Jake ball.

Ah nice. No Archer or wood but kohli would smash wood anyway.

I think only plunkett prime can somewhat trouble him.

Right now from England he would wack them back to Birmingham.

 

[160KPH]

No Shakib?? That hurts for sure

 

[BouncerGuy]

Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat first.

TEAMS:
Bangladesh (Playing XI): Litton Das, Tanzid Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto(c), Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Towhid Hridoy, Mushfiqur Rahim(w), Mahmudullah, Nasum Ahmed, Hasan Mahmud, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam

India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul(w), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj

 

[BouncerGuy]

Absence of Shakib and Taskin will hurt Bangladesh big time here. Shakib has been the most prominent player for them and he got Kohli out 5 times if I am not wrong.

 

[Aseem_Khan]

These bangladeshi gonna make only 150-200 and it's gonna be again like against Pakistan one sided and boring, Bangladesh status should be removed they haven't improved at all

 

[Rajdeep]

Will there be a rendition of the Nagin dance today?

Hope so...

 

[SamNJ]

Taskin dropped or injured ?

 

[RamLakhan]

Its OK if India keeps chasing in these preliminary matches, as the tournament progresses further they should get lucky to win the tosses and bat first...

 

[Zerotohero]

Last 11 games :-

India 8 - Pakistan 2
India 6 - Bangladesh 5
Nowadays India-Bangladesh games become more competitive than India-Pakistan games.

That is because India played with their second string team last few games

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Frankly speaking, i don't think Bangaldesh can challenge India without Shakib and Taskin.
Miraz and Mustafizur have good past performances against India so they can be danger for us.
New guy Tamim is an aggressive opener. India needs to neutralise him as early as possible along with Litton Das.

Good luck to both the teams.
India to win comfortably (80-20)

 

[shortbread]

Taskin dropped or injured ?

Dropped I think, need to inject fresh blood into the pace attack. Taskin needs some time off, hopefully a stint at county cricket.

 

[Farabi]

Its OK if India keeps chasing in these preliminary matches, as the tournament progresses further they should get lucky to win the tosses and bat first...

Chasing has been easier with dew and generally India always does better batting second
India should get practice setting targets, something they’ve struggled with recently

 

[shortbread]

Both national anthems are the same language.

 

[Rajdeep]

Both the national anthem was written by Rabindranath Tagore....pride of our bengal.

I am a neutral for this game...supporting India but also can't go against Bangla.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Rohit also wanted to bowl first so I think India was planning to bowl first and get Bangladesh out as quickly as possible and due to that dew-factor as well.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

That is because India played with their second string team last few games

Even Bangaldesh played with their 2nd string team in Asia cup with us. Still managed to beat us.

 

[Rajdeep]

BD should have bowled first here

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Both the national anthem was written by Rabindranath Tagore....pride of our bengal.

I am a neutral for this game...supporting India but also can't go against Bangla.

Bangaldeshi national anthem is so boring and long. Pakistani one is my favorite

 

[nish_mate]

Joy Bangla!!!

Come on the real Asian tigers!!

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

When Bangladesh last played against India in India, their captain was yet to born. Bangaldesh were a non test playing nation.

 

[RamLakhan]

Looks like Siraj is a new version of Umesh Yadav. Spray gun with gun deliveries here and there!

 

[Zerotohero]

Even Bangaldesh played with their 2nd string team in Asia cup with us. Still managed to beat us.

The thing is India's first string team will beat Bangladesh 8 out of 10 times. So if they are playing second third or whatever, the same holds true.

 

[Rajdeep]

When Bangladesh last played against India in India, their captain was yet to born. Bangaldesh were a non test playing nation.

What are you even talking about? They toured India for a full series in 2019 just before covid.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Looks like Siraj is a new version of Umesh Yadav. Spray gun with gun deliveries here and there!

He is leaking too many runs. India is winning matches hence he is not under the radar. If you're replacing someone like Shami, you need to prove yourself like that.

 

[Rajdeep]

Looks like Siraj is a new version of Umesh Yadav. Spray gun with gun deliveries here and there!

He tries test match lengths in ODIs. I don't mind it actually...yes he will go for runs but will get wickets as well.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

What are you even talking about? They toured India for a full series in 2019 just before covid.

Im talking about ODI match. Last time they face India in India in May 1998.

 

[NeVerMind]

Bangladesh opening batsmen all over the place against Bumrah and Siraj...don't see them lasting long

 

[Devadwal]

Looks like Siraj is a new version of Umesh Yadav. Spray gun with gun deliveries here and there!

No your observation is totally wrong .he want to Swing the delivery that's why he bowl more fuller delivery in first spell .

 

[BouncerGuy]

3 over and just 5 runs. Bangladeshi batters are struggling against bumrah big time. Not gonna be easy to score against this fine bowling line-up.

 

[viking2559]

Jasprit bumrah is not fast but his release point makes it difficult for batsmen to play him and he is very accurate and has good skills as well.His action is very hard to watch though but very skilled bowler

He mostly operates at 132-140kph range.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Bumrah's economy rate in this world is just 3.36 This is even decent for test matches.
4.12 in all world cup games.
Unbelievable numbers

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

Slow and Steady wins the race

 

[globetrotter]

Bangladesh trying very hard to reach 150

 

[vprasanna83]

This is absolutely great bowling from Bumrah . Surely the best bowler in the world now

 

[Rajdeep]

Oh man...that was out

 

[NeVerMind]

Wow...a run-rate of 1.65 after almost 5 overs!

 

[viking2559]

Jasprit bumrah's first over speed

132,131,139,140,139

2nd over speed

136,138,135,139,140

He is very accurate and has got good skills.

 

[SamNJ]

Lucky Tanzid. He was out.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

This is absolutely great bowling from Bumrah . Surely the best bowler in the world now

Without any doubt

 

[vprasanna83]

Bangladesh openers lucky to survive

 

[viking2559]

Even at 135-140 he is very difficult to play.

Impressive bowler. Probably the best Indian bowler ever.

 

[kingusama92]

Perfect start to the Test match for Bangladesh.

 

[vprasanna83]

Lots of seam and zip . Good wicket this

 

[viking2559]

Siraj doesn't seem that good. He is getting phainty in every match he is not even touching 140ks.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Superb placement by Litton
Glorious boundary
Sachin like shot

 

[viking2559]

Liton das does play well against India.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Litton and Ashraful are the most talented batsman coming out from Bangaldesh.

 

[160KPH]

Decent bounce on this pitch

 

[viking2559]

Liton das is a curious case. He is very very talented but still he hasn't found his feet in international cricket after so many years.

 

[Devadwal]

Slow but steady start from Bangladesh

 

[MP2011]

Tanzid hits Bumrah for 6!

 

[160KPH]

Sheeesh great shot for 6

 

[Devadwal]

First six of the match by hasan .
BAN 27/0( 7)

 

[Devadwal]

Thakur will get phainta on this pitch

 

[MP2011]

Siraj concedes too many boundaries

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Thakur will get phainta on this pitch

Bhai he is an international cricketer and has achieved a lot with his hardwork. He deserve respect for his work ethic and honest efforts.
Just Trust him

 

[lontje]

Bangladeshi batsmen adapting their approach and playing some shots.

 

[vprasanna83]

Thakur will get phainta on this pitch

I will be happy if he does . Hope Indian think tank then comes to their senses

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Thakur will get phainta on this pitch

Im sensing Thakur will take 1st Bangaldeshi wicket and will shut your mouth

 

[Devadwal]

Siraj ruined the all the hard Work in this over

 

[nish_mate]

Joy Bangla!!! Tigers are roaring...

 

[BouncerGuy]

After 8 overs, Ban is 37/0.Some good shots after the initial snail-pace scoring.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Tanzid Tamim reminds me of young Tamim Iqbal who assaulted Zaheer Khan with his fearless sixes

 

[Devadwal]

Im sensing Thakur will take 1st Bangaldeshi wicket and will shut your mouth

One wicket cant change the fact That hs is a nothing player .

 

[160KPH]

Shot yaar, who is this Tanzid guy??

 

[Devadwal]

Another four from Das

 

[MP2011]

I will be happy if he does . Hope Indian think tank then comes to their senses

Fully agree with this.

 

[Devadwal]

Back to back boundry .and Pandya is injured .

 

[nish_mate]

Shot yaar, who is this Tanzid guy??

Think one of their U19 stars

 

[MP2011]

Hardik is another one who is flattering to deceive in this WC, so far.

 

[160KPH]

Pandya injured??

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

One wicket cant change the fact That hs is a nothing player .

I agree he is a limited player but i respect him for his match winning efforts in famous overseas victories.
All-round performance in GABBA and England, 7 fer in south africa are enough to prove his worth in the side

 

[vprasanna83]

Attacking batting by the Bangla openers . Are Shafique and Imam watching ?

 

[TheSultan]

Come on bangers

 

[160KPH]

Think one of their U19 stars

Like the way he’s batting!!

 

[AAli98]

Back to back boundry .and Pandya is injured .

India’s World Cup in tatters Bangladesh on the charge Pandya out

 

[nish_mate]

Like the way he’s batting!!

Yupp taking the battle to India, good aggression

 

[160KPH]

Seems he hurt himself trying to stop the ball with his foot?
