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

[globetrotter]

Good Yorkers by Bumrah …. Boom Boom Bumrah

 

[Devadwal]

Haha good finish.

 

[MP2011]

Last ball 6

 

[Rajdeep]

Take that Bumrah...Six off final ball by Shoriful

BD finish at 256

 

[kron]

@kron bumrah 3.2 over 12 runs 2 wicket in death over

What a bowler. Could he become as good as wasim?

 

[TheSultan]

Lovely 6 - Bumrah smashed by a tailender!

Great effort by Bangla to get a score on the board. They could have done a Pakistan, but fought it out.

 

[vprasanna83]

Shottttt by Shoriful

 

[Mas-LFC]

Well at least 250 and didn’t get bowled out!

 

[jnaveen1980]

damn missed the yorker. Ball went for six. He threw the kitchen sink.

 

[Rajdeep]

He should stick to t20 fragile glass man.

That was a freak injury...nothing to do with format

 

[viking2559]

Lol last ball six by shariful.
This is 320 runs wicket.

 

[Mas-LFC]

What the hell. Shoriful with the 6! Why is he batting lower than the khet tailender Mustafiz!

 

[vprasanna83]

On

What a bowler. Could he become as good as wasim?

e thing to remember is he does all this without the benefit of reverse swing and the old ball

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Cake boys embarrassed.

 

[nish_mate]

BD end on a high with a 6

 

[Devadwal]

Great bowling efforts by bowlers after 14 over when Bangladesh were 90/0 .i thought they are going to score minimum 330 from there.

 

[kron]

That was a freak injury...nothing to do with format

It's always the same with him though.

 

[Mas-LFC]

damn missed the yorker. Ball went for six. He threw the kitchen sink.

He can do that, so can Taskin. But Fizz is utterly useless tailender and he is batting ahead of Shoriful wth

 

[MMHS]

At least 35 short I guess - need 10 wickets now, which I don’t see coming without Shakib & Taskin’s overs.

I would have taken 256 every other day against India, but not after 94/0. Pathetic game sense and batting.

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Wow. 142 clean bowled

india should draft in prasidh and rest siraj
Bring him back later

Siraj looks a bit off. Quality pacer but he has been expensive.

Nah, he will come back.

 

[jnaveen1980]

8 sixes by Bangladesh. That is good effort. That also gives an idea how good a surface this is.

 

[sweep_shot]

Shoriful finishes off with a six.

He should've been sent ahead.

BD have 256 on the board. India need 257 to win.

 

[Mas-LFC]

That’s Mahmudullah’s failure to understand the game - there were three wickets left, should have taken singles. Mustafiz did post a 50+ last wicket partnership with Miraz to chase a target against India

Once a while fluke as such can happen. That was a fluke Fizz supported Miraz like that. Then again it was low slow pitch too. Even Gilespie has double hundred at test!

 

[jnaveen1980]

It is a flat wicket. Jaddu says there is nothing in the wicket.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

3/4 early wickets and the game is ON

 

[Asad T]

Bangladesh made 256/8 after their 50 overs.

A decent score but Jadeja during the half time break said the wicket is flat, there is hardly any turn, and the bounce is very even and consistant. He expects India will chase the total easily. Do you agree?

Pune is always a flat wicket. 300 bare minimum here. I think Average is like 313 or somethin glike that.

 

[Kianig89]

The brazeness of Bangladesh defies logic veterans like Mushfiq and Mahmudullah are batting low down the order and top order is waiting the crucial middle overs

 

[Buffet]

BD batted poorly after a good start. Wicket did not do much.

 

[jnaveen1980]

The brazeness of Bangladesh defies logic veterans like Mushfiq and Mahmudullah are batting low down the order and top order is waiting the crucial middle overs

May be this is why he bats down the order?

 

[Mas-LFC]

Wicket is fine. Boundaries small. India will chase it by 35overs. BD 3-5 killed the momentum didn’t rotate strike well, wasted too much balls between them scored 27 off 65balls - 90s ODI’s in 2023. Take 20balls from them3, BD might have ended up 280. Gotta least bat run a ball on batting wicket!

 

[jnaveen1980]

It comes down to how Gill goes.

 

[Kianig89]

Your best batsman should be in top 5 if not 4, Mushfiq and Mahmudullah coming in 6 and 7 strange

 

[Mas-LFC]

BD batted poorly after a good start. Wicket did not do much.

Yup. Belter of a wicket really. 300+ wicket. BD started steady then went hard, got great first PP in the end. But no.3-4-5 killed BD batting total. Total waste Miraz at 4. Hridoy just a passenger making up numbers. Shanto had a purple patch recently and since theres no other options bats at 3.

 

[Dios]

So Shakib dropped Tamim and threw a tantrum because Tamim wasn't fully fit but he himself had fitness questions from the first match and now misses a crucial match due to fitness.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Your best batsman should be in top 5 if not 4, Mushfiq and Mahmudullah coming in 6 and 7 strange

I think they don't want a top order collapse where they lose lot of good batsmen at the same time and leave it to guys like Hridoy and co to accelerate. Besides Mahamdulla came in as a last minute inclusion i heard? May be his form was not good coming into the tournament.

 

[Devadwal]

Why Bangladesh fans behave like thier team is world beater .they have certain limitations and results reflecting that.

This Miraz experiment against big teams needs to stop. I don't what they are trying to prove. Hridoy is a good batsman but he should come lower in the order not ahead of Mushfiqur.

 

[sweep_shot]

Well, Bangladesh can beat any team on their day (if things click). But, they lose most of the time.

They are a #8 team.

 

[jnaveen1980]

BD usually steps up against India. Let us see how it goes.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India has just 5 batsmen today. Jadeja is not much of a batsman in ODI these days. Good test batsman.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Mushy is too low. Mahmudullah am fine with at 6, he is the finisher. Mushy should be 4, period. Some people think having them low down to recover from collapse but the question is does the collapses takes happens regularly if mushy bats 4, someone who will steady the ship well.

 

[Devadwal]

Which fan? Here or outside of PakPassion?

Well, Bangladesh can beat any team on their day. But, they lose most of the time.

Yes they can beat any team on their day but they are not consistent .
Riyadh and Mushfiqur are not the same batsman they were used too .

 

[Champ_Pal]

They cannot beat any team on their day. They can only beat when the opponents have a real bad day. BD are a lowly team and extremely boring to watch. No flair and no special talent in their team to watch out for.

useless logic.

 

[Devadwal]

People who are complaining about why Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur were batting at 6 and 7 forget that Miraz was the reason behind Bangladesh won the series against india in Bangladesh.

 

[sweep_shot]

Yes. Without Mehidy, India probably would've won 3-0.

Mehidy was the main man in both 1st ODI and 2nd ODI.

 

[sweep_shot]

Just like your posts. Boring to read and are often factually inaccurate.

 

[jnaveen1980]

BD bowling is agood bowling unit. THis is not a terrible score despite under par. If they can catch India on an off day they have every chance to pull off an upset here.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Funny logic.

Its a fact. BD needs a certain kind of pitch where their pie chuckers can stifle on a slow low dead pitch.

 

[jnaveen1980]

If Hardik bats then India's chance will become much better.

 

[Devadwal]

Yes. Without Mehidy, India probably would've won 3-0.

Mehidy was the main man in both 1st ODI and 2nd ODI.

Exactly .they are giving chance to youngsters at the top so nothing wrong with that.

 

[sweep_shot]

You have demonstrated you have not followed or watched much cricket in recent times.

For the record, BD went to South Africa and won an ODI series there (2-1). There was no "certain type of pitch" there.

Just say you hate BD for other reasons. LOL.

 

[jnaveen1980]

BD's best hope early swing.

 

[jnaveen1980]

So Shanto is the default captain whenever Shakib goes?

 

[Devadwal]

Jadeja in world cup 2023 So far
4 matches, 7 wickets at 20.28, SR: 32.4, ER: 3.75

 

[sweep_shot]

Yup. Him or Litton.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Jadeja in world cup 2023 So far

Understandable performance. This is why Ashwin has a role too on some pitches.

 

[Mas-LFC]

This Miraz experiment against big teams needs to stop. I don't what they are trying to prove. Hridoy is a good batsman but he should come lower in the order not ahead of Mushfiqur.

Bro. Im losing braincells seeing this pathetic coach experimenting at the cwc when these things teams do in bilateral series’s. Miraz batted 3, 4, failed miserably and yet they kept him again at 4. Opening with Miraz in the past worked but BD don’t to open with him anymore. He aint a 3 or 4, maybe 5 in the future, but it’s congested atm. Get him back to 7 and move Mahmudullah up one place or two.

Tawhid is decent. But hasnt done much in ODI’s, he started with good knocks in T20s. He has had chances at 5, gets bogged down easily, can’t rotate the strike well, what exactly is he going to do at 4 or 5 when most likely you will be in the middle overs against plenty of spinners. Or wouldnt it be better to have him at 7 as finisher come and hit from word go.

For me top 7
Tanzid
Liton
Shanto
Mushy
Shakib
Mahmudullah
Tawhid

 

[nish_mate]

I thought the two mental midgets were Captains once as well, they can aid young Shanto should he falter...

 

[MMHS]

That’s actually not true any more - pacers blew SAF in SAF twice. But yes, without any wrist spinners, finger spinners are more effective on sluggish wickets. Batting is fragile, but never boring - some of the most eye catching stroke makers are there. Main problem is failure to score big or convert starts, otherwise Tamim (both), Liton, Shanto, Shakib, in past Soumya are worth watching when in full flow.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hardik can bat.

 

[Mas-LFC]

BD usually steps up against India. Let us see how it goes.

Not enough runs on this good batting wicket. Needed at least 280 to make a decent match. 320+ for winning chance.

Dint Bangladesh beat SA in SA for odi?

 

[MMHS]

Dint Bangladesh beat SA in SA for odi?

I guess yes, and that wasn’t Junior Dala’s South Africa

 

[sweep_shot]

Dint Bangladesh beat SA in SA for odi?

Yes.

They lost the Test series 0-2 but won the ODI series 2-1.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Easy chase in 40 or less

I think Bangladesh's problem is conversion and acceleration. They get starts. Percentage of conversion is less. Also if you look at their strike rate it is very low because they don't rotate strike often enough. Batsmen have to develop their overall game. Shakib is one guy who gets it more than others.

 

[Devadwal]

Gill open account with first Ball boundary in both game he played so far.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Top class boy

 

[nish_mate]

What happened to Sabbir? He was pretty aggressive bat at the top...

 

[Devadwal]

Gill please take time as Sara is also in the crowd to cheer for you.

These are all problems but correctable problems. What can’t be corrected is when no. 2, 3 & 4 do what they did today after 94/0 in 14. Then, Liton thought it’s a club game and he had done enough….

No batting theory will work unless your top 3 puts value to wicket and converts start.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Batting to have any chance will need India 3 down before they reach 50runs!

 

[MMHS]

What happened to Sabbir? He was pretty aggressive bat at the top...

What aggressive!!!! He is a slogger, who had couple of years of purple patch - that’s cute 30-35. Real loss was Soumya, who could match anyone shot by shot, playing proper cricket.

 

[MMHS]

Have to leave - hope we keep India till 40th over.

 

[Devadwal]

Short ball and Rohit dispatch for maximum

 

[sweep_shot]

India are off to a great start.

26/0 (3 overs).

 

[MP2011]

Another short delivery, another Rohit 6

 

[Devadwal]

IND 26/0( 3)
