ICC World Cup 2023: Pakistan v Bangladesh | Match 31 | Kolkata | 31 October | Bangladesh Innings

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Finally a wicket - come on Pakistan we are better than this.

I wonder why you would think this. Maybe you didn't see the earlier games?

 

[sweep_shot]

Chacha should give 30 minutes lesson to our spinners daily.

Ifti can land the ball very well. Not many boundary balls.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

I wonder why you would think this. Maybe you didn't see the earlier games?

Trying to be positive yo

 

[MMHS]

Shakib completely out of form...so all you need is to keep it tight, just like what Chacha is doing and he will do something silly

I’m a bit old school - only way you can come back to form is being in middle. They have a decent run rate still…. Can allow the rate to fall at 4. But one more wicket, PAK will chase 170 here

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Rauf i feel sometimes is a right handed version of wahib Riaz. but i admire him, i saw a video about his struggles, how he scrambled over the gate to get selected etc..his persistence and passion

 

[kron]

Lol shakib haga

 

[sweep_shot]

Game got boring after Litton got out.

Lost the steam.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

And Rambo wants him to bat at three….

He is really struggling and has declined a lot. Him, Mushi , Mahmudullah all have to retire after this World Cup.

Build a young team for 2027.

 

[sweep_shot]

Shakib is on 3* from 17 balls.

Test match time.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Mahmudullah has justified his promotion.

Another fifty for him

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

BD missed huge opportunities in previous matches by not sending mahumdullah up to the order.

 

[sweep_shot]

50 for Mahmudullah.

He seems to be in good form.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Good 50 for Mahmdullah. Came in early and steadied the ship.

 

[MMHS]

He is really struggling and has declined a lot. Him, Mushi , Mahmudullah all have to retire after this World Cup.

Build a young team for 2027.

We have to rebuild many, many other things - cricket is at least 100 spots below in that list. I hope, you are aware of thing’s happening at other side of border ….

In this chaos, our captain went to lobby for his nomination….

 

[FearlessRoar]

Brilliant from Iftimania

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan should stop playing 2 spinners. Ifti can bowl 10 overs.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Pakistan should stop playing 2 spinners. Ifti can bowl 10 overs.

He should bowl 10 overs in every match

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 117/4 (27 overs).

 

[FearlessRoar]

Finally Shakib opened his wings. First four for him

 

[MMHS]

BD missed huge opportunities in previous matches by not sending mahumdullah up to the order.

Won’t bro - I understand Cricket little and watch lot. That guy is 40 years old, way way before that age some Viv Richards, Greg Chappel, Allen Border moved down to 5 or lower.

It’s good that he is scoring at 5/6/7 - batting at 3/4 …. we would have missed that as well.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Shakib is not in good touch in this World Cup

 

[sweep_shot]

Mahmudullah and Shakib need to bat till 40th-45th over. Not much batting to come after this. BD tail is very bad.

 

[Ahmed216]

Wasim should come around the wicket and bowl with a slip to shakib. He likes to drive and Wasim deliveries leave the lefties

 

[MMHS]

Namaz time…. Good luck guys. No hard feelings, but we are watching the worst two teams in this WC.

 

[IAJ]

Please just bowl out Chacha now as he is very economical.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Rauf is having chat with coaches

 

[Shafi]

Heard Dhani will be vice-captain!!!!! Is it true?

 

[stani_pak]

Need to get another wicket soon, in the next couple of overs ideally.

 

[FearlessRoar]

BD is back into their shell.

I reckon, Target will be 220

 

[Shafi]

Rauf is having chat with coaches

Why today? Why not before?

 

[lazy cricketer]

its reversing right

 

[Mas-LFC]

BD missed huge opportunities in previous matches by not sending mahumdullah up to the order.

Mahmudullah has been mismanaged by team think tank for many years. His best position is 4, but at 5 he averages 40, with more games. At 7-8 he is batting with tailenders mostly and is wasted.

 

[Shafi]

On what basis Salman is playing today? He is neither a batsman nor a bowler

 

[Mas-LFC]

Watto doing my headin! Keeps calling Al Hasan Shakibul Hosein!

 

[Ahmed216]

Rizwan not helping with reviews today

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

On what basis Salman is playing today? He is neither a batsman nor a bowler

Can't do worse than Nawaz

 

[FearlessRoar]

Iftimania

1-27, 8 overs econ 3.37

 

[emranabbas]

Chacha should give 30 minutes lesson to our spinners daily.

Chacha was doing well in the power play with afridi we had bangladesh under pressure then babar decided to give the ball to harris the run machine this is the same script from the last game

Then pp members ask what has babar done are they blind when they watch the game or do they not have any sense or are they just cheer leaders for babar

 

[jakee]

On what basis Salman is playing today? He is neither a batsman nor a bowler

Due to Nawaz's consistent pathetic performances

 

[sweep_shot]

Shakib is on 11* from 30.

Garbage batting.

 

[Savak]

On what basis Salman is playing today? He is neither a batsman nor a bowler

Better option than the mental midget Nawaz. Even Babar has had it with his match winner Nawaz

 

[FearlessRoar]

Rizwan not helping with reviews today

Apparently

 

[lazy cricketer]

rizzy not in good mood today its almost he is holding back tears lolll

 

[Mas-LFC]

Which BD batter apart from Mahmudullah has looked anything but in this World Cup?

Tiny Brain Das is meant to be most experienced in the top 3. No excuses from a player playing since 2015 or something

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Chacha was doing well in the power play with afridi we had bangladesh under pressure then babar decided to give the ball to harris the run machine this is the same script from the last game

Although he was expensive he got wicket number 3!

 

[FearlessRoar]

Let's be honest. This team is not mentally and physically good enough to reach semi final

 

[PakPremi]

If Babar has brain he will Usama overs by Agha, who has more chance to get a wicket and be more economical.

 

[Ahmed216]

Rizwan you are playing for PCT. Can't act like an upset aunty out there

 

[RKhan_Cricket]

Rizwan has lost it completely
May be he is still feeling bad because of what has happened from last 2 days.

 

[emranabbas]

Although he was expensive he got wicket number 3!

Anyone could have had that wicket bangldesh were put under pressure by afridi and chacha

Bangladesh got out due to their own fault

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 128/4 (30 overs).

Run rate is poor.

 

[RKhan_Cricket]

Rizwan you are playing for PCT. Can't act like an upset aunty out there

When people blame you for no reason.
That time you might act worse than aunty.

 

[IAJ]

What is the par score on this ground?

 

[FearlessRoar]

Lol this upmire is looking like Jay Shah

 

[RKhan_Cricket]

Atleast he is silent

 

[emranabbas]

If Babar has brain he will Usama overs by Agha, who has more chance to get a wicket and be more economical.

That's exactly what issue is babar doesn't have a brain

 

[aukhan]

Iftikhar looks better than both of Babar's business partners.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Usama Mir 0-32 in 5 overs.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Afridi strikes

 

[NeVerMind]

Shaheen gets the big wicket of Mahmudullah!

 

[aukhan]

Pathetic from our spinners

These guys are failing in India of all places. Pakistani fans have always mocked Indians for creating pitches that assist spinners. It's shocking to see this abysmal performance.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Shaheen doing it single handed again.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Mahmudullah departs, absolute jaffa

 

[oatmeal]

Mahmudullah gone, Bangladesh done and dusted. Now time to try and boost that NRR

 

[Ahmed216]

That was perfect seam position for reverse swing. Class act Shaheen

 

[hitthestump]

This is good captaincy from Babar. Good bowling changes and batsmen generally hitting the field.

Bangladesh cannot get more than 250 from here and will probably fall significantly short of that.

 

[RKhan_Cricket]

Chalein g
Shaheen for once is back in form

 

[FearlessRoar]

Mahmudullah gone, Bangladesh done and dusted. Now time to try and boost that NRR

I hope, Babar Azam got enough sense

 

[Mas-LFC]

Big wicket. Mahmudullah out!

Pakistan on top. Easily win. Congratulations in advance!

 

[Mas-LFC]

Collapse started, folks! Thanks to Tiny Brain Das. TBD!

 

[Abdullah]

This is good captaincy from Babar. Good bowling changes and batsmen generally hitting the field.

Bangladesh cannot get more than 250 from here and will probably fall significantly short of that.

What!! 250 is wayyyy too much. 180 all out please and look to chase in 35 overs with a promotion for Ifti. Babar manaing the bowlers key now- dont worry about saving shaheen wasim and rauf for 50th over. Bowl ifti to shakib next over and see if he takes a risk and then just bowl out the quicks

 

[FearlessRoar]

Thanks to our Bangal Brothers. For making it easy for us

 

[aukhan]

Afridi is second on the leading wicket taker list but it seems like the impact is missing. His performances may not receive the recognition that the leading wicket taker of a world tournament deserves

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Thanks to our Bangal Brothers. For making it easy for us

Pakistan will probably collapse too!

 

[FearlessRoar]

Afridi is second on the leading wicket taker list but it seems like the impact is missing. His performances may not receive the recognition that the leading wicket taker of a world tournament deserves

It's too late now.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Pakistan will probably collapse too!

This is our style. We don't play risk free cricket

 

[topspin]

What was that shot by Moin Khan in the 1999 World Cup game against Bangladesh? Looks so sus.

 

[hitthestump]

Afridi is second on the leading wicket taker list but it seems like the impact is missing. His performances may not receive the recognition that the leading wicket taker of a world tournament deserves

None of his wickets in the big games have been match changing.

This is largely thanks to a complete lack of support at the other end meaning there is no momentum shift.

 

[sweep_shot]

Boring game so far (not surprisingly).

Pakistan should get a good NRR boost today.

 

[topspin]

None of his wickets in the big games have been match changing.

This is largely thanks to a complete lack of support at the other end meaning there is no momentum shift.

Exactly this. No pressure at the other end to feed off from another bowler.
