ICC WT20 | Group D | Bangladesh v Pakistan | Bangladesh Innings

[RehanG]

so Bangladesh will bat first

restrict them to 140

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

B'desh needs to score 175+ to have any hopes of upsetting PAK, in this process they might go for an all out attack and get bowled out for < 100

 

[farsiddiqui]

If Pakistan wins, do we know who the opponent will be in the next stage?

 

[Free Hit]

^yes, we knew the opponents before the start of tourny. south africa, australia and india.

So it's another set of pool games before the knock-out stage? Thanks!

 

[asif9138]

If Pakistan wins, do we know who the opponent will be in the next stage?

yes..India, Australia, South Africe!

 

[Executioner]

Tamim and ashraful to open for Bangladesh

 

[asif9138]

afridi to take 5 wickets

 

[dhump]

what about the weather ??

 

[pakcricketfan]

Amir Sohail thinks Bangladesh's bowlers will struggle on this pitch.

 

[Square Drive]

If Bangladesh can score 180, then it will be close as they have to win by at least 36 runs here to go through to the super 8s. Anything below 180 and I back Pakistan to win this one.

Let's hope for a good game.

BTW why was Arafat preferred over Razzaq again?

 

[Animal]

Good luck to both teams. Although I thoroughly enjoy upsets, I don't see the Bangla boys putting one over the Pakistanis tonight.

 

[asif9138]

i would like to know what happened to Abdul razzaq!

 

[t_kaay]

Surely Bangladesh missed a trick? Should have bowled and Pakistani batsmen might have been under a bit of pressure to score a good total, as Bangladesh would have had a target to chase in say 15 overs.....by batting first, bangladesh start at minus 36, Pakistan can take 36 off any target.

 

[asif9138]

this will be a good game

 

[RehanG]

If Pakistan wins, do we know who the opponent will be in the next stage?

already finalized,
Sa Ind and Aus

 

[asif9138]

do not worry guys!

 

[Free Hit]

I predict bangla putting up good fight

 

[Free Hit]

target will be 180

 

[Free Hit]

pak shouldnt crumble, be very carefull

I disagree. Bangladesh would have struggled to chase down around 150 in less than 16 overs. Pakistan can squeeze well. They bat first, hope for some batter to score big and post 160+. Bowl well and hope Pakistan collapse dramatically.

Tamim talks the talk but has yet to walk the walk.

 

[carbon11]

Najeeb ul hasnain on ary news crying why no Sami in team

Butt also with him

What a lame show

 

[Mohsin]

Ive got a feeling itll either be a complete collapse by Bangladesh (InshAllah) or its gonna be VERY VERY...VERY nervy/worrying for us by the half way stage

 

[Itachi]

Stupid decision by bangla. The pitch has moisture, grass. Should have been bowl 1st.

And there is chance of rain! Means D/L will come into play.

Very very bad decision.

 

[Free Hit]

sky sports after england again

 

[Free Hit]

its bloody pak game and they are discussing the next england game

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Chasing has been B'desh achillies heel especially against PAK, Ajmal n co will not allow them to score runs while defending a total.

This is their realistic chance. Anyways, even if B'desh doesn't qualify, it will be good for their morale if they can just win this match & end the tourney on a high.

 

[Free Hit]

the dressing rooms seem small.

 

[WahabYorker]

star sports talking about how sachin can pick the doosra based on the revs on the ball...LOL...he flopped everytime he faced ajmal's doosra

 

[Free Hit]

lets hope nazir fires today

I think its not about pitch. I think the players have a plan of playing out of their skins today.

I think he did a wise thing, because BD wont be under too much pressure and hit like maniacs........and like we all know pakistan are poor at chasing. Its all or nothing decision, im with mushfiqur over here

 

[Free Hit]

if he doesnt get first few overs then its going to be massacre

 

[Free Hit]

national anthems time.

 

[WahabYorker]

i have a feeling the match might be fixed lol...just like how pak let bangladesh win in the 1999 worldcup

from my perspective, it looks as if bangladesh already put themselves in backfoot. If you restrict options, means you have less alternatives if something goes wrong.

If it becomes 20/3 in 3rd over, game over for bangladesh.

 

[pakcricketfan]

lol Afridi just cannot stand still

 

[t_kaay]

Oh man.....ramiz in the box

 

[Sledger]

Wasim and Ramiz opening the commentary.

 

[mithun_minhas]

LOL @ wearing shades in darkness

 

[Sledger]

Wasim saying Bangladesh have made a strange decision at the toss.

 

[waqar_ahmad]

Those who are watching, how does the pitch look?

 

[Itachi]

i have a feeling the match might be fixed lol...just like how pak let bangladesh win in the 1999 worldcup

national anthems are going on and people are talking WHAT?

 

[Free Hit]

raza giving tamim some tips

 

[mithun_minhas]

I expect Bangbros to fold under pressure.

If Bangladesh somehow wins today, my respect for their cricket will sky rocket

 

[asif9138]

there is gress on pitch..according to wasim you need to see off new ball first 4 to 5 overs!

 

[Free Hit]

ajmal is a legend

 

[Sledger]

Tanvir opening, should bowl better in these conditions.

 

[Mohsin]

Those who are watching, how does the pitch look?

Bit of grass on it, expecting something in it for fast bowlers

Gul should enjoy iy, Tanvir...if he cant do anything on this track then he'll REALLY useless for us

Arafat might enjoy it too, with his dibly doblers

 

[Free Hit]

whats with these shades at night.

 

[Sledger]

Hafeez has taken the ball..

 

[Free Hit]

lets hope tanvir fires

 

[x-man]

i have a feeling the match might be fixed lol...just like how pak let bangladesh win in the 1999 worldcup

Why man???? R u a reporter from NOTW? Ha ha don't scare us!

 

[Sledger]

Grassy pitch, why not start with seam?

 

[Free Hit]

[Mohsin]

Hafeez to bowl opening over

Cmon boys lets destroy them!

 

[WahabYorker]

[Sledger]

[Mohsin]

444444444

[qamar84]

[zulfiqar]

tanvir's chin is bothering me...he looks like a clown with the big chin and the glasses

doesn't it always

 

[Sledger]

Ashraful attacking.

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

ashraful in good form

 

[Sledger]

7 off the first over.

 

[qamar84]

give 7 from the 1st over

 

[giri26]

The biggest underachiever in the history of cricket (Ashraful) batting now. The guy has set the bar very high for wasted talents.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Time for seamers.

 

[Sledger]

Tanvir bowling now.

 

[corneredtiger85292]

I have a weird feeling this is gonna be a tight one...hope I'm wrong !

Lets go PAKISTAN !

 

[Tridibans_16]

Good start by Bangladesh. But I already see a Pakistan victory. Who the hell bats first when rain is around the corner ? (IRL yesterday and WI against Aus, both batted first and lost)

 

[qamar84]

so we will see for the 2nd over

 

[Sledger]

No ball, free hit. What a start.

 

[qamar84]

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

 

[NeVerMind]

Tanvir starts from where he left...no Ball!

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

for ) )

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Kukri is back to business. No ball first ball.

 

[Sledger]

Four off the free hit.
