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

[Mas-LFC]

After the wicket of TBD. BD scored 32 runs 20-30 overs, slowed right down. How can you get so bogged down in the middle period, least get 45runs! Off that 10 over period!

 

[NeVerMind]

As soon as Usama comes on, ball goes for a six!

 

[sweep_shot]

Bangladesh should now start hitting/slogging.

Not much to lose at this point.

 

[NeVerMind]

And then takes a wicket!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

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

What about Mahmudullah getting out of worse - experienced Shakibs knock so far.

 

[sweep_shot]

Towhid is out now. LOL.

140/6.

 

[Ali Active]

fluke wicket

 

[Mas-LFC]

Tawhid Da with the SIX!

And out???

 

[NeVerMind]

Need to ensure Bangladesh do not bat their whole overs now...go for the kill and use up the pacers....

 

[hitthestump]

Lol that is unreal. That’s like getting out a club cricketer.

 

[hitthestump]

Despite that wicket it’s pretty clear Usama and Shadab have the same lack of ability with the ball.

May as well go with Shadab for his batting and fielding.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Sweep shot wants Tawhid given more chances. LOL. This dude built in bpl, t20 player who was drafted into ODI too soon, has an awkward technique but works for him. Stick to T20. Afif Hossain been hard done by.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

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….

Fair enough. There are bigger issues than cricket of course

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

fluke wicket

It was pitched too wide, but he did get some turn. His problem is like Shadab, no control and you know he will put in one full toss or long hop every over.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Lol that is unreal. That’s like getting out a club cricketer.

Disgraceful to say the least. They cant bat in ODI’s anymore. Literally shameless bunch with zero IQ.

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Despite that wicket it’s pretty clear Usama and Shadab have the same lack of ability with the ball.

May as well go with Shadab for his batting and fielding.

Come on man why not find someone better?

Are there absolutely no better leg spinners in the whole country?

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

That ball from SSA to get mahamudallah was brilliant, much like wasim in 1992 Wc

 

[sweep_shot]

This is the last recognized pair.

BD tail can hardly bat.

 

[160KPH]

Some of these Shaheen Shah Afridi’s are perfection today

 

[BaaliSoda]

This is the last recognized pair.

BD tail can hardly bat.

Taskin and Musta are no mugs with the bat (at least will put up a fight). This BD line up bats deep.

 

[hitthestump]

Come on man why not find someone better?

I meant in this tournament but yeah, it’s quite possible that Shadab is the best white ball leggie in the country.

There’s been a lot of build up about Abrar but no evidence to support it yet. Danish and Yasir never made it in white ball. Abrar might be effective or he might not.

If you consider his competition is Zahid Mehmood then the cupboard is bare.

 

[Ali Active]

please someone beg babar to not bowl usama again

 

[sweep_shot]

This BD line up bats deep.

Not at all.

They can hit some fluke boundaries. Tail is not very capable.

 

[Ali Active]

he can bowl out chacha and agha salman

 

[FearlessRoar]

Bangladesh 149/6


34 Overs

 

[sweep_shot]

150 is up.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Pathetic batting techniques most of them have, ultra poor game sense, never work out how to go on about things well, hardly anything in the V areas, always give in softly, they don’t have the desire nor hunger for big innings.

Simply don’t understand ODI batting anymore. Going forward I said it before will say it again, BD ODI will be like how Windies been for long while and but in T20s BD will be a better team, instead. Because it’s Less to think batting wise only 20 overs.

 

[BaaliSoda]

please someone beg babar to not bowl usama again

He wants to complete the 5th bowler quota when both batters at the crease are relatively circumspect, I believe.

Ideally, should finish off these batters with shaheen and other pacers as quickly as they can.

Which new player do you want to see in the team? Many youngsters have failed (Afif, Tanzid, Towhid, Shamim etc.).

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 155/6 (35.3 overs).

BD should try to crawl to 220-230 like Netherlands did the other day.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Mahmudullah dismissed by playing wrong line, trying to score off a ball that straighten instead going legish. Mahmud got into the sell because the captain is playing test trying to get some rhythm. Needed to stay there longer even 110 ball 90 for Mahmuddullah wouldve been good.

he can bowl agha salman he will provide more control

 

[sweep_shot]

Back to back boundaries for Shakib.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Not sure that's enough.

 

[sweep_shot]

Another boundary. 3 in a row.

170/6.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

3 boundaries!!!!!!!

 

[Ali Active]

Babar is utter brainless ball reversing he bowls spin on both end

 

[boomboomcheema]

Chacha

 

[lazy cricketer]

haris was jogging there...you playing for your country you clown put more effort.

 

[sweep_shot]

Not sure that's enough.

I didn't say it was enough.

260-280 is par here probably.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Another boundary. 3 in a row.

170/6.

Poor old Chacha struggling to get down to bowl from his own fielding.

 

[stani_pak]

Need to get another wicket soon, ideal would be to get shakib out.

 

[DandyFellow]

Babar should have bowled out Ifti when he was bowling well and Shakib was struggling. Wouldn't have mind Shaheen bowling with Ifti to get his full quota at that time.

 

[oatmeal]

Babar doesnt have the killer instinct in captaincy. When they are down, you try to get more wickets and initiate a collapse but he's focussed on getting spinner overs done which allows new batsman to get set and Shakib to attack

 

[DandyFellow]

Poor old Chacha struggling to get down to bowl from his own fielding.

That was tactical to get Shakib on the other end

 

[Kianig89]

What is the par score on this ground?

234

 

[Abdullah]

Why the hell are 2 spinners bowling in tandem now!!!

 

[hitthestump]

We should have snuck a couple of overs of Agha in a lot earlier too.

Pressure is on Ifti and Usama now as they have to finish their quotas.

 

[Kianig89]

Pitch is slow and sluggish with patches will be tough for Pakistan chasing this

 

[FearlessRoar]

Six

 

[AAli98]

Thought it won’t ever get worse than Shadabs bowling. But this Osama bin ladens on par with him

 

[Abdullah]

shameful captaincy -worried about compleiting the spinners overs

 

[FearlessRoar]

Usama Mir can't deliver an over without getting smashed for a six

 

[Kianig89]

Babar and Rizwan will have to play sheet anchor as usual

 

[Ahmed216]

haris was jogging there...you playing for your country you clown put more effort.

Biryani and chops effect

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 182/6 (38 overs).

This partnership is now worth 42 runs.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Why the hell are 2 spinners bowling in tandem now!!!

To show us their pedigree.

 

[Ahmed216]

BD targetting our spinners. Can't get worse

 

[FearlessRoar]

I reckon, target will be 280

 

[oatmeal]

After they cross 220, its harder to get a big NRR boost

 

[BaaliSoda]

Just 2 more overs of spinners remains.

May be time for a two pronged pace attack.

 

[Kianig89]

Game of WC this will be a very close contest on cards

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

It's amazing how these same pitches can look like terror tracks when you see genuine spinners bowling from other nations.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

220 might be enough

 

[Kianig89]

Bangladesh dignity vs Pakistan pride at stake here

 

[hitthestump]

I reckon, target will be 280

This would mean a Shakib century which I guess is possible

 

[DandyFellow]

Babar doesnt have the killer instinct in captaincy. When they are down, you try to get more wickets and initiate a collapse but he's focussed on getting spinner overs done which allows new batsman to get set and Shakib to attack

He should try to bowl spinner and pacer from each end in middle overs. He was doing that initially and it was working. Two spinners or two pacers bowling together in middle overs is not a good idea because you will have more overs left for the other type of bowling. Today, he brought pacers back together and due to it he is still left with 3 overs of spinners after the end of 38th over.

 

[Ahmed216]

After they cross 220, its harder to get a big NRR boost

250 and it will be hard to win

 

[BaaliSoda]

It's amazing how these same pitches can look like terror tracks when you see genuine spinners bowling from other nations.

One of the semis is going to be held here. Team batting first (with decent bowlers in their ranks) will have distinct advantage.

 

[Rana]

Wasim jr 22 years old?

 

[jattafridi]

Historic victory is coming

Shakib did it for Bangladesh

 

[jattafridi]

Usama mir third class spinner

Where is abrar

 

[hitthestump]

In terms of pure wicketkeeping we have the worlds number 1

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Shakib exposing Mehidy to Rauf

 

[FearlessRoar]

Usama mir third class spinner

Where is abrar

Usama Mir is the luckiest Cricketer to play world cup

 

[BaaliSoda]

Shakib exposing Mehidy to Rauf

Mehidy is actually pretty decent batsman.

 

[nish_mate]

OUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

 

[sweep_shot]

Shakib is out.

185/7.

 

[jattafridi]

Shakib gone

 

[FearlessRoar]

Mehidy is actually pretty decent batsman.

He is replacement of Shakib
