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

[BaaliSoda]

Rauf against Taskin/Musta/Shoriful should be fun

 

[FearlessRoar]

Iftimania and Babar should open today

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Legside full toss, gets away with it.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Iftimania and Babar should open today

Iftimania can hit boundaries and Babar can anchor the innings. And chase the target in 30 overs

 

[nish_mate]

Iftimania can hit boundaries and Babar can anchor the innings. And chase the target in 30 overs

30?? If sub 220 need to aim for 25 and finish in 30....if aim for 30 will finish at 35

 

[FearlessRoar]

Bangladesh 190/7 40.4 overs

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Just make sure you don't get bowled out like s

 

[BaaliSoda]

Hope Babar does not need to use usama again (provided pacers finish the tail off)

My stream is bit slow - usama to bowl off his final over

 

[FearlessRoar]

Hope Babar does not need to use usama again (provided pacers finish the tail off)

He is on

 

[FearlessRoar]

And four

 

[7sins]

Babar turned out to be the worst captainb of the tournament that's one award he deserve in this tournament

 

[BaaliSoda]

He is on

Should have continued with rauf or gone with ssa

 

[Ali Active]

Babar should be sacked clearly he has no clue

He is on

 

[FearlessRoar]

Usama gives more flight to the ball

 

[Azzurri]

over witho

Clown of a captain. man just keep the pacers and bowl them out

 

[7sins]

How come even on this pitch Usama is going at 6.5 an over dreadfully crap bowler

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 198/7 (42 overs).

 

[castortroy]

This Usama is awful.

 

[Ali Active]

Babar should be sacked clearly he has no clue

even us fans have better understanding of game why is he worried about last overs he can easily bowl them out

 

[Ahmed216]

Agha too could have bowled a couple. He's not bad and certainly better than Usama

 

[castortroy]

Pak officially have the worst spinners in the tournament

Netherlands spinners are definitely better

 

[hitthestump]

Just bring Shadab back in the next game. He’ll be useful at 8 and equally useless with the ball as Nawaz and Usama.

Next game we need to sneak in earlier overs of Ifti and Salman so we aren’t left bowling fodder at the death.

 

[lazy cricketer]

rizzy is awfully quite behind the stumps...something big gonna happen after wc

 

[Cric_lover4487]

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

But they will play semi final. NZ is a minnow vs Pak

 

[FearlessRoar]

Usama Mir 66/1 , 10 overs econ 6.60

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Babar giving an over to Usama clearly means he doesn't have confidence in his fast bowlers to clean up a weak Bangladesh tail

 

[Nado_]

how the bell did Usama get the nod ahead of Abrar. I had no idea he was this awful, a spinner with no line and length is criminal

 

[Nado_]

Babar giving an over to Usama clearly means he doesn't have confidence in his fast bowlers to clean up a weak Bangladesh tail

We only playing 5 bowlers , he rather use his overs up now and let the fast bowlers lose

 

[sweep_shot]

200 is up.

BD - 200/7 (43 overs).

Need to play out 50 overs.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Shaheen Shah Afridi

3-20 , 8 overs

 

[FearlessRoar]

Bangladesh 200/7 , 43 overs

 

[sweep_shot]

Mehidy is out.

200/8.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Wicket

Wasim jnr strikes

 

[hitthestump]

Fair enough, the Bangladesh XI is more brainless than we are.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Another one. Wasim jnr on fire

 

[NeVerMind]

And another for Wasim Jnr...really swinging it!

 

[nish_mate]

Waseeeem!!!!!

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

He's just got one ball really but he delivers it at pace and it does swing.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Should have done this few overs ago (introduction of pacers against lower order batsmen).

 

[Ali Active]

babar could have got them allout on 180 but he has to give complete overs to spinners idk whats wrong with him or he is complete dumb

 

[hitthestump]

At this rate we can drop spray gun Rauf when Hasan Ali comes back

 

[sweep_shot]

201/9.

Another wicket.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Ooof ball boi

 

[Nado_]

Some classic Pakistani 90s style reverse swing bowled !! tail in , batsman throwing the kitchen sink and the wickets flying !!

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan should try to chase it down in 30 overs.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Please NZ lose tomorrow Please Please Please

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Pakistan should try to chase it down in 30 overs.

They'll struggle to do it in 50 overs.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Please NZ lose tomorrow Please Please Please

Pune wicket is batting friendly. Chasing should be easy there.

 

[t_kaay]

All well and good, but will Pakistan have the brains to take this opportunity and go after the Bangladeshi bowling from the outset and chase this quickly? We need to improve our nrr.

 

[Ali Active]

Please NZ lose tomorrow Please Please Please

they may lose tomorrow still on nrr they will go through unless srilanka upsets them

 

[Azzurri]

Where are the attacking fielders? taptan sahib

 

[viking2559]

Wasim bowls well with old ball at good pace. He is better than Hasan by far.

 

[NeVerMind]

Pakistan should try to chase it down in 30 overs.

Open with Chacha and give him free reign to go after the pacers...he can't hit the spinners anyway

 

[SpiritOf1903]

This won't be straightforward against BD spinners, forget NRR

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Whatever BD manage to finish with, should be an easy run in the park for pak to chase this down

 

[Sunzi]

Wasim Jr. offers so much more than Hassan, why would we not groom him for an attack comprising Naseem and Shaheen.

Don't keep him around the team "grooming" him until he's 27-28. Start using him regularly now.

 

[NeVerMind]

What's Wasim Jnr's record in test matches? Thinking about the the Aussies series now and having someone who can reverse swing will be good...

 

[Nado_]

Shut up Waqar, just stick to one ball. It’s simple . Bowling will be entertaining again.

 

[NeVerMind]

Wasim Jnr cleans up Bangladesh....amazing reverse swing this!

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Pakistan should try to chase it down in 30 overs.

Hope Pakistan win, not even thinking of the NRR

 

[FearlessRoar]

BD 204 all out

 

[viking2559]

145ks by Waseem he is fast with old ball.

 

[Cric_lover4487]

Wasim is a good addition to the team.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Textbook from Waz

 

[MMHS]

Fair enough. There are bigger issues than cricket of course

Much bigger, trust me - wait & see.

 

[BaaliSoda]

Proper bowling to tail there by Waseem jr.

Pakistan need an out of the box approach to chase this score in quick time to boost their NRR.

Use of pinch hitter like old days, should be tried.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Bozo Babar wasted runs bowling out spinners

 

[Abdullah]

BD 204 all out

poor captaicny from babar at the end- worried about using all of ifti and usama overs and now that leaves all quicks with overs unbowled Could have got them for 175 and then we could really have looked at boosting the run rate! Now it will still take a solid start and 40+ overs to get this if things go ''smoothly''
Hopefully there is a load of dew!

 

[Mas-LFC]

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

Afif wasnt given chances in ODI’s at 4-5 enough. Not fair to judge him. He did win matches too. Yes he failed in t20s, batting low in ODI’s last time he was in the side. But Afif is not a finisher.

BD fans in general should not get obsessed with bringing in youngsters all the time after one fails, Theres players still got plenty left to give and they’re not past ages. Soumya, Mossadekk, Sabbir, They are all under 31yo. It’s upto the think tank, management how to get them back into ODI’s in form, playing well again. Experience cannot be bought. New players one or two could get bed-in during bilateral series’s not whole changes all the time. Can’t keep investing in players then throw them away when they have 4-5 years left to give!

 

[msb314]

Need to chase this in 20 overs

 

[kron]

Bangla can't handle the heat. They can't face our pacers. Damn if only we won vs SA.

We got obliterated by Afghans which hurts. If Afghans can cause a couple more upsets then we shall see.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Need to chase this in 20 overs

Nah, need to chase down in 9.4 overs.

 

[kron]

30?? If sub 220 need to aim for 25 and finish in 30....if aim for 30 will finish at 35

We will tuk tuk our way till 40 with imam scoring a century off 140 balls.

 

[Dantheone]

Wasim Jr. bowled really well today. He's swinging the ball nicely and just the right pace.

 

[BaaliSoda]

We will tuk tuk our way till 40 with imam scoring a century off 140 balls.

Thankfully, no imam today.

 

[kron]

I am positive with naseem we would have beaten Afghans and SA. Could have been different but what's done is done.
