India (196/5) defeat Bangladesh (146/8) comfortably by 50 runs to pave their way for a probable Semi Final berth in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024

Siraj is a run leak machine as well. Harshit Rana deserved a chance ahead of him.
Siraj can be good as a new ball.bowler. Arshdeep can leak runs, Bumrah only bowls one. I think Siraj can bowl 2 new swinging overs. Fielding will suffer but Jadeja is pretty much useless at this point
 
There hasn't been any A caliber batsman from our team ever. Best we got was Tamim and mushfik. They were average at best
I still think your guys have the makings of an xcellent & varied bowling attack
....you have pace, swing & spin...
Somehow if U harness this properly, remove the aggro & posturing & focus on big pic, get a good bowling coach - improve pitches & get the right mix of intensity & aggro ..get some skills - no reason why Bangla cannot do much much better than what U r doing ...you have the passion, the following - if U invest in your 'A' level teams & age group cric -surely that's one way to succeed better...
 
It's just funny how they dominate for 5 decades. The psychological scarring over each nation is unsurmountable.
They are a sports nation, look at them playing field hockey. It’s in their DNA.
Kiwis are same too but less population.

Even in IT Aus has really good companies, these countries contribute a lot per capita in every field and still never get hyped as its just a way of life.
 
Shakib is A caliber. He was atleast. It was BD bowling that let them down in the past. Fizz came along and won you games. Now there's a good.pacer and a good wrist spinner. Sowmya, Litton Das, Shanto are all way too flaky. Build around Hridoy. He looks a one down batsman
Shakib was never A caliber. He had an outstanding A+ caliber tournament in 2019 Cricket world cup. Outside of it shakib have been average

Fielding plays a major role in their success. Also they find heroes in every players. 1996 semi final they were 15/4 against West Indies. Stuart law and bevan i think scratched around they posted 207. West Indies was 165/1 at one stage. Then they imploded and lost the match. IN 1987 England was going great guns. Then out of nowhere Border brought himself on, Gatting played a reverse sweep and got out. In 2003 against NZ they were like 97/7 or something. Andy Bichel played a blinder and also took 7 wickets. Against Pakistan they were 146/5 Symonds took control of it. Against England alsot hey struggled. Once against Bichel stepped up.

If we talk about 2023 against NZ they almost let NZ chase 382 runs. Last over starc started horribly with 5 wides. Then Labuscaghne saved 2 ceretain boundaries brilliantly. Those two saves prevented them from losing the match. Same way Afghanistan gave one chance Maxie took advantage of it. Small things like this made sure they had enough points to get to next round. If those things had not happened they would not ahve reached semi final.
 
Lol atleast Bangladesh won't be meek like Afghanistan whenever they play India.

I expect lots of passion from Bangladesh. They won't beat India but one can hope.

With Afghanistan game everyone knew they won't win.

They weren't meek at all, brother . Congrats for calling that. Tanzim and Rishad were extremely aggressive but nothing can bridge a gap in talent and teams like PAK, BD, AFG should know this by now.
 
Why these captains and team management are so dumb.
Why do they want to chase on these kinds of wickets in day game.
Chasing on these pitches in day games is almost impossible.
 
My expectation is you would learn some good manners one day.
How is it a garbage game, Bumrah and Yadav bowled well for anyone to watch today.
Hridoy got his first challenge today, this is big leagues.
 
If BD can beat Afghanistan, they can finish Super 8 as #6.

That would be a par performance.

Exactly. Absolutely ruthless and always been lucky in the big moments.

What talent are you talking about? What are you so arrogant? How many icc has your talented indian team has won?? LoL.

Don't be arrogant you will be brought back to earth pretty soon like always.

Not to mention Hussey 2010 or Heads catch of Sharma.
 
Rishad is on 24* from 8 balls.

He should've been sent ahead earlier. 3 sixes already.

It's the attitude. Every player believes he's a match winner in that aussie team. Another very important point is they aren't as much under pressure as subcontinent players. If they lose they lose and they lost a lot of games in the last decade. Subcontinent teams are one sport teams and there's lots of pressure. Third, there's not much competition for spots. Some of these aussie players failed a lot and are still in the team. When you know your spot is secure, when you are mentally strong and are a well gelled unit, you win more often
 
Wrist spinners these days are coming with striking ability. Only India doesn't seem to have a wrist spinning all rounder.
 
I can't remember Bumrah bowling a single yorker in this tournament. That is his main weapon. Usually he has a reason for ths. Not sure what it is.
 
India is in the SF. Nobody in the group can beat this RR
 
What talent are you talking about? What are you so arrogant? How many icc has your talented indian team has won?? LoL.

Don't be arrogant you will be brought back to earth pretty soon like always.

The talent to beat USA at any rate.

Maybe PAK and BD should send a combined XI next time to make sure you can at least beat a team with an Oracle engineer as their best player? 🤔
 
What happened to the guy Mehidy hasan? He is an all rounder right. He can open occasionally. He almost won a test agianst India.
 
Lol the arrogance of indian fans is unbearable.
Sabr rakho. You will get beaten.

He prefers defending runs rather than taking wickets now

Since 2010 India are ahead of us in talent. It's without doubt.
 
Yea.. i know the match he is talking about Ravi.. Bumrah took 5 for 7 against West Indies in the test match. He absolutely blitzed West Indies top order.
 
The talent to beat USA at any rate.

Maybe PAK and BD should send a combined XI next time to make sure you can at least beat a team with an Oracle engineer as their best player? 🤔
Lol You will cry soon like you and your countrymen did on the finals day of 2023 world cup.
 
Lol the arrogance of indian fans is unbearable.
Sabr rakho. You will get beaten.
? Which Indian fan showed arrogance lmao not a single fan said we can win wc.
We can only beat Pak BD Afg thats all.

100 andho main ek kaana
 
If BD can reach 160, I would say batters did okay. Reaching 150-160 against an Indian attack with Bumrah and Kuldeep. Not bad for BD.

Bowlers flopped hard today.
 
There's a big portion of indian poster who come crawling out if the woodwork like the termites th hey really are, when our guys don't do too well & out the boot in...
Where r they ....where's the perennial -ve lads?
Taking a hike ?

Next match if VK, Rohit , Hardik fail - watch the internet servers melt ...

As these 'worthies' make th jeir presence felt with their & - veity ...
 
Not a single Indian fan believes then can win the cup. Not a single one :afridi

Hope, wish... maybe... Believe...None
No that's not true. LOL.
They were certain in 2023 world cup and they believe will win this time as well but it ain't happening. Hahahah
 
That wrist snap way in front of his body is what confuses batsman when facing Bumrah. The batsman are used to judging the line and length at the release point in general. But this with delayed release from.Bumrah, batsmen are either late or too early. Lesser batsmen try to compensate by playing early. The subtle changes in pace are another reason. Add to that the varying lengths which are tough to judge because of the delayed release.
 
Mahmudullah is a decent ODI batsman. But i don't think BD has produced any T20 specialist batsman in their history.
 
Fans in the stadium, holding tiger toys, are now packing them neatly back into their bags, ready for next time.

I don't like tiger toys. These are idols. I wouldn't allow those if it was up to me.

They should bring in cardboards with "Tiger" written or something.
 
My expectation is you would learn some good manners one day.
How is it a garbage game, Bumrah and Yadav bowled well for anyone to watch today.
Hridoy got his first challenge today, this is big leagues.
 
We won’t cry because we know Aus and Eng are better , it’s only Pak and Bd who always assume they could had shoould had would had beaten us
Lol no you don't believe that hahah. You and your countrymen don't believe that.
I don't care about zimbabar's team. LOL
 
Lol the arrogance of indian fans is unbearable.
Sabr rakho. You will get beaten.
Maybe. Maybe not. We still will be on every Olympics/commonwealth/asian games scoreboard...
Unlike the 7th most populous nation ..
Whose main export is....
Choodo yaar ..
 
I don't like tiger toys. These are idols. I wouldn't allow those if it was up to me.

Lol you try too hard, Idols are not made of soft cotton like BD tigers

I expected a better fight from BD. BD did better against India in the past few ICC events.
 
Arshdeep keeps pickign wickets. Now he is officially the highest pace bowling wicket taker in world T20 history of India. 22 wickets.
 
Not sure at 40 years old what they wanted Mahmudullah to do.

As I said they've not even got 150.

50 run win for India and into the semis.
 
Disappointing world cup.for BD even though conditions weren't beyond them for the most part. 3 or 4 interesting players that will have good future though. Wins against SL, Ned and Nepal overall. Close game against SF but overall a poor campaign as a team
