ICC WT20 2016 | Australia beat Bangladesh by 3 wickets

[Dios]

Finally a wide given.

 

[carrom_ball]

Come on Bangla bros, win the match and make it easier for us to qualify

 

[#GreenRoars]

 

[cricketbadshah]

mahmudullah plays a handy knock here.

 

[srh]

why Mahmudullah comes so late in batting order? He is easily Bangladesh's 3rd best batsman.

 

[Prince_]

Australia is under pressure. Great batting by mahamudullah

 

[cricket.mad]

Come on Bangla bros, win the match and make it easier for us to qualify

I think this match is unrelated to us Indians. .we just need to win next 2 against aus and bd..that's it..

 

[cricketbadshah]

 

[Prince_]

Man, what's going on here, wow

 

[Zeshan547]

This australian bowling is as rubbish as they come,

 

[Dios]

Mahmudullah is an absolute gem of a player. Criminally underrated by Bangladeshi fans. He must be made the captain after Mashrafe and not Shakib, Tamim or Mushfiqur.

 

[Havok]

Nice shot

 

[asadee]

Whats better for Pakistan? BANG win or Aus?

 

[street cricketer]

This is fantastic batting by Mahmadullah and Mushfiq.

Mushy has found his form just at the right time.

 

[aniket1911]

Why is coulter bowling lenght bowls.

 

[Prince_]

It's raining boundaries here

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Mahmudullah is my favourite BD player nowadays. So underrated. Playing another blinder

 

[Inswing]

Decent scoe by bangla

 

[street cricketer]

Mahmadullah told he idolises Dhoni.

Now finishing like Dhoni

 

[Deewana]

Mahamadullah has improved big time...not long ago he was a dud..but now he is class

A BD victory

 

[Big Mac]

This is terrific batting from these two

 

[King Kong]

Mustafizur will rip apart Aussies today, thereby will win the match for Bangladesh single handedly.

 

[hur rizvi]

Runs on the board for Tigers, Lets choke Aussies now

 

[Thivagar]

Indian fans chanting "We want to be part of Bangladesh".

 

[The_Odd_One]

Exciting contest between Australia and mini-Australia!

 

[Zeshan547]

What damage can indian and pak batsman can do to this rubbish bowling line up, they will just smoke this, aussies batsman better be prepared to score 200 plus in next 2 games.

 

[aniket1911]

Let's just for everyone's sake hope Bangladesh win or at best, it's a close match.

 

[cricketbadshah]

good score but not defendable one.

 

[Thivagar]

Good come back by the Bengalis.

 

[Syed1]

Lol this is out of Australia's reach by about 25 runs

 

[hur rizvi]

IMO Bangladesh should start with Saqlain today. I like him in BPL

If there is no dew Bangladesh can defend this

 

[Rahul2020]

Good score. We have to see if this is enough.

I bet BD will be missing those two Chuck-ee-cheese bowlers today )

 

[Dios]

Mahmudullah misses out on such a well-deserved 50. On any other day I feel Bangladesh would've taken apart this Australia bowling attack. It really is very average. Still 156 against Australia without Tamim is a good effort given the mood in the camp.

 

[aniket1911]

Pitch suits Australia.
They will win comfortably but Bangladesh shouldn't let them runaway in their chase.

 

[srh]

A BD victory

Justify

 

[hur rizvi]

Zampa saying no dew so far. Good news for BAngladesh

 

[King Kong]

All Indian and Pakistani fans hoping that Bangladesh will win this match, so that they have a better chance of qualifying for Semis. I, for one, hope this will be a close contest. Not one-sided like Australia winning in 15-16 overs.

 

[jeetu]

Pretty good recovery by Bangladesh, last 34 runs came in just 18 balls.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Thanks to Pakistan Shakib got his Mojo back, Mahmu is a big game playa, always performs during World Cup and sort of of world cups

 

[rhony]

I'm reluctantly becoming a fan of Riad. Whadda playa!!!

 

[Syed1]

Justify

BD is not expected to beat India and NZ. So if they will win they will remain at 2 points but would definitely hamper Australia's chances of qualifying which in turn increases Pak/Ind chances of taking the second spot. NZ have already pretty much made it through.

 

[Hamza_]

I think BD will win.

 

[Prince_]

What damage can indian and pak batsman can do to this rubbish bowling line up, they will just smoke this, aussies batsman better be prepared to score 200 plus in next 2 games.

Pak will be bowled out under 140 and India on the other hand might score 240-250 against this bowling lineup

 

[MMHS]

I said, Aussies 'll struggle with this attack. We overestimated (read overwhelmed by the thought of facing Aussies in WC) the attack, therefore went into shell early. Of the 5 wickets - probably 3 should have fetched 14 runs, had we played the ball, not the team.

Aussies 'll win it, but should not that easily, that many are predicting.

 

[90MPH]

I think Auatralia will chase this down as it looks a fairly good batting track and the Bangladesh lacks sting in their bowling.

Good recovery by Bangladesh though.

 

[Anfield]

Pitch looks good for batting. I believe Bangladesh are 20 runs short. Let's see how they ball.

 

[King Kong]

If Bangladesh win this match, the group will be wide open. All teams will have a chance of qualifying for semis. Pakistan winning against NZ will make the group more intriguing.

 

[JaDed]

Mahmudullah is the best Bangla bat,Das and Tamim are way overrated.

 

[Messiah]

BD is not expected to beat India and NZ. So if they will win they will remain at 2 points but would definitely hamper Australia's chances of qualifying which in turn increases Pak/Ind chances of taking the second spot. NZ have already pretty much made it through.

This. BD wont beat india for sure. But with aussies you never know. Its better for aussies to be eliminated than banglas

 

[aniket1911]

Justify

It will act as cushion if Australia win against India and Pakistan then they will be tied with the rest on 4 points and NRR will come into play.

 

[Gilly]

What damage can indian and pak batsman can do to this rubbish bowling line up, they will just smoke this, aussies batsman better be prepared to score 200 plus in next 2 games.

I wouldent compare the Pak batting to the Indian batting, India are two or three classes above. Pak will find a way to get out to the Aussies.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Mustafiz is key

 

[Messiah]

I think aus will chase this but at 18th over or so, with not much boost to runrate. As a result, bd will be eliminated and aussies on the brink. Good news for india, pak fans. Worst case scenario is a huge aussie win

 

[Mainul]

You mean like Kohli was given lbw by BD umpire in the Asia cup against Pakistan?

When he was given LBW India was near home in runchase. Bangladeshi umpire has only one head over his shoulder and he wants to prolong his carrier, so he will never give out an Indian when ball will just clip stumps

 

[marlonbrowndo]

I wouldent compare the Pak batting to the Indian batting, India are two or three classes above. Pak will find a way to get out to the Aussies.

You are right unless Akmal plays a blinder as he sometimes does against Aus in T20s. Our hope is that you have a weaker bowling lineup than 2014 where he got 94.

 

[Rahul2020]

I smell a BD victory today. Their slow, tuss tuss bowlers will strangle Aus batsmen

 

[Anfield]

Why does Mahmudullah bat at number 6-7? He should be batting at number 3-4.

 

[MMHS]

And we made an WY like goof up today - why Mahmud was sent at 6 Allah knows better. Cost us at least 10/12 runs - could have got out earlier as well, but that's "Umar Akmal" batting at 7 for cover type of thoughts.

Pace up of T20 innings is a key & we missed that big time (may be early couple of wickets didn't help), but every team should look to lose 7/8 wickets in T20 & maximize slogging.

 

[JaDed]

No dew plus all the Bangladeshis from Sivaji Nagar have come to support their team today should win it with Mustafizur gripping it.

 

[King Kong]

People are underestimating Pakistani batting line up here. On their day, they are as strong as India. They always struggle against Indian bowlers in world cups. So their performance against India in the last match was not a surpise. Just watch the highlights of their batting against Bangladesh.

 

[Rahul2020]

Lol. What kind of justification is this? )

 

[Executioner]

I would say 70-30 for Australia. I think we are 10-15 run short atleast of a "par" total.

However, there is no dew quite yet and looks like the pitch is slow and it might turn a bit which is a good sign. I think we did well given that Tamim was missing otherwise we might have gotten somewhere near 180 which would be a winning total on a flat but slow wicket.

Mustafizur will be bowling today, and we have a strong spin attack, just kidding, a decent one.

 

[Mainul]

Pitch looks good for batting. I believe Bangladesh are 20 runs short. Let's see how they ball.

I think 45 runs short. It looks like a 200 pitch. Australia is supposed to chase it comfortably

 

[carrom_ball]

I think this match is unrelated to us Indians. .we just need to win next 2 against aus and bd..that's it..

Yeah but if Bangla bros win then it will most certainly knockout Australia leaving just pak as a contender along with us

 

[90MPH]

I wouldent compare the Pak batting to the Indian batting, India are two or three classes above. Pak will find a way to get out to the Aussies.

Pakistan have always scored decently against the Aussies in the 20/20 format.

 

[MMHS]

I think aus will chase this but at 18th over or so, with not much boost to runrate. As a result, bd will be eliminated and aussies on the brink. Good news for india, pak fans. Worst case scenario is a huge aussie win

Nothing of good news - do the maths carefully.

PAK 'll have to win both matches either way; so is IND. And both 'll face a direct shoot-out against Aussies at Mohali. IND is ahead because they beat a better team & they have a game against BD, which for PAK is against NZ. In fact, in that calculation, you can keep BD as well - today scores are on the board, need an upset against IND & then the last match is on Eden turner against Kiwis.

Reality is NZ & IND is 60% in SF already ...........

That's not true at all ,not in LOI's also on Rohit Sharma's day no one is stronger than him, what does that mean?Zilch.

 

[King Kong]

Australia are seriously overrated. Only Smith is some quality in that line up. I still remember their dreadful performance in the last WT20 in Bangladesh. I think today it's more or less the same batting line up they had in the last wt20. I still remember how they bundled out for about 80 runs against India.

 

[ChachaCricket]

Hard to see Bangladesh defend this. Mustafizur and Shakib will need 5-6 wickets between them.

No offence, Pakistan batting lineup has tremendous potential. However, your team needs to learn how to bat together with each other when your team is under the pump. Pakistan is a momentum side, if they start of well they can bat well throughout however there is barely any "comeback" player like we have with Mushfiq and Riad in T20s and ODIs, both players capable of batting at 1st to 3rd(4th for Riad) if its needed.

If Umar can get into the grove, he can be that kind of a player for Pakistan.

Still the problem remains, Pakistan struggles when the opposition bowls well, such happened against India and BD in AC and also India recently. This is where Babar Azam would have done wonders

 

[King Kong]

That's not true at all ,not in LOI's also on Rohit Sharma's day no one is stronger than him, what does that mean?Zilch.

Watch the highlights of Pak vs Ban. They are a good side.

Bangladesh win today will help India. Period.

 

[Anfield]

He meant on Pakistan's best day and India's worst day they are equal. He is right..

 

[Executioner]

Boundaries aren't as short, dew hasn't set yet, pitch is slow and we have the momentun good for us

Cons- Not enough runs, atleast 30 runs short of a match-winning total. Taskin is a big miss

I am still hopeful

 

[Anfield]

I think 45 runs short. It looks like a 200 pitch. Australia is supposed to chase it comfortably

45 would have helped you to win comfortably. I'm talking about par score not an easily defendable score.

 

[srh]

And we made an WY like goof up today - why Mahmud was sent at 6 Allah knows better. Cost us at least 10/12 runs - could have got out earlier as well, but that's "Umar Akmal" batting at 7 for cover type of thoughts.

you should play Mahmudullah at #3. He is a complete batsman.

 

[Executioner]

Mustafizur needs to do his magic today if we want to win this

 

[Executioner]

you should play Mahmudullah at #3. He is a complete batsman.

Only in Bangladesh will you see hacks at the top - Soumya, Mithun, Hom and proper batsman at no. 6 and 7 - Riad and Mushfiq

 

[Gilly]

Bangladesh win today will help India. Period.

India and Pak are going to smash Aus so how could Bang beating Aus help anyone.
