India [359/7] beat Bangladesh [264] by 95 runs in World Cup 2019 warm-up match

That was an awesome delivery by Bumrah to dismiss Shakib. It is next to impossible for a new batsman to dig that one out first ball. Waqar at his prime would be proud of a delivery like that. India have batted Bangladesh out of this one for sure sending out a warning to all other contenders. The batting has clicked big time and the bowling is delivering as well.
 
PCB should really think about shifting home to UK, or may be even Scotland. If this is the crowd in a practice game today & I am sure it was same in PAK-AFG game as well .... Also, I am not sure what's the % of south Asian people in Cardiff, but in Greater London, Midlands, Greater Yorkshire and Greater Manchester it should be almost like Karachi or Lahore.

BK won't work, unless IND plans to give him 7 overs opening spell. Why is he bowling short here as first change?
 
BD has better depth though . So batsman upfront can take their chances.

Once again our 8 and 9 are grinders. Miraz and saifuddin are good if you need to survive. Not big hitters. They are just better versions of ashwin the batsman in ODIs. It works in UAE, not in England.
 
If Bangladesh wants they can treat this as a basic warm up but I'd like to see us try to chase this because we'd be doing this in the world cup.

They'll give the charge - it's just that they are playing one of the best attacks of WC and lost 2 crucial wickets at wrong time. If Soumya could have survived that over, by now Kohli could have been forced to take out BK.
 
It will be good to see how Mosaddek and Sabbir bats today, based on their performance today they will be selected. I prefer Mosaddek over Sabbir

Bumrah is best bowker in the world but india are making a mistake by not having enough backup bowlers. They have 3 specialist pacers and 2 non-specialist pacers of which one of them - Shankar is as good as Soumya with the ball. Yadav should have played

Mosaddek will play, might be even for Miraz for his off-spin. It's between Liton, Sabbir & Mithun for two spots.

Yadav is not suitable for this conditions. He can't bowl in middle or at death. And bhuvi outbowled him at beginning. Khalil, Saini and Ishant are on standby.

Bunrah shami bhuvi are quality but having an extra option was necessary. You guy have zero pacer in the squad as backup and even if someone gets injured it will be difficult for them to come from outside the squad. Don't forget INdia needs to shuffle particularly considering that INdia are among the top contenders for SF.

The conditions are also very good for Pakistan, spin, reverse swing and no too much bounce.

There is a decent size community in Cardiff but also in the surrounding towns such as Newport. Cardiff is a great city now, very much improved in the last 20 years.

But nothing will come close to Birmingham for Pakistan team. Pakistan should do a deal with Warwickshire to be their home base, all LOI matches will be sold out.
 
We need an Andre Russel type player, can’t believe with a population of 160 million + we can’t find a Russel or a Stokes. We found Forhad Reza aka Bhejafry

Saini and Ishant would start for both BD and Pakistan.

If someone gets injured, we would see one of them.
 
These boys doesn't seem to have any intent on going after the chase. Seems like just having a net practice
 
Bangladesh arent going for the win here, just getting batting practice. Not a good watch.

Navdeep Saini, Avesh Khan, Ishant Sharma, Khaleel Ahmed and Deepak Chahar are there as backups with the squad for any injuries as well as net bowling practise.
 
Bangladesh look good to score 300+ here but once again not a 350+ chaser
 
Ok Mushfiq get out, let’s see how Sabbir and Mosaddek bats against world’s best spinners and Bumrah
 
IND 359/7 (50.0)
BAN 155/2 (27.1) CRR: 5.71 REQ: 8.98
Bangladesh need 205 runs

It's a practice game for a reason and Liton is trying to cement his spot. DWL calculator is saying BD is just 3 runs behind after 27 overs. Mash didn't finish quota of of his regular bowlers - if Kohli doesn't do that for his bowling, it might be a very close game.

is Bangladesh playing their full 15 today?

as in..will they use 11 proper batsman or will they use bowlers to bat at 9 10 and 11?

I think, Tamim won't bat - 9 bowlers were used, I think every other batsman will get some time.

I think they are doing the right thing, it's a warm up game, might as well get some batting in. If they try and chase they will probably lose badly anyway.
 
Chahal is bowling the perfect speed for such wickets with a little bounce. Some days, he might go for plenty, but he'll be a critical weapon while defending total.
 
The key to this game for BD is to ensure they reach 300 while chasing. That will good positive taekway from the game . BD know they can get Pakistan , WI ( they have a stranglehold on them currently) ,Afg and SA for under 280 and chase them. Then its question of 2 goodgames against rest and SF spot is up for taking
 
My Team against Proteafire

1: Tamim
2: Liton
3: Soumya
4: Mushfiq
5: Shakib
6: Mahmudullah
7: Mosaddek
8: Sabbir
9: Mashrsfee
10: Rubel
11: Mustafiz

Mosaddek / Soumya / Sabbir can bowl 10 overs, they’ll probably bowl better than Miraz. Won’t pick Saidduin as last time Someone hit him for 5 sixes :yk he probably still gets nightmare. I think it was Miller

Only question mark is No. 8 - Sabbir, Miraz or Saifuddin. Rest will be like this, almost certainly.
 
What are BD bastmen doing here? Why would you step out of crease your very first ball?

Finally Kuldeep is bowling like the Kuldeep who has been terrific in recent times. This is a top bowling unit when Kulcha clicks.
 
Chahaal and Yadav are just awesome spinners. Trump card for India and will be the difference between India and rest. I think India are carrying the best spinners in this WC.
 
Pathetic BD batting. What ugly dismissals.
Cant believe we r almost at the same level these days
 
India 359/7(50)

Bangladesh 221/8(41.2)

Collapse from Bangladesh, Kuldeep showing his quality.

Not really just bad shot selection from bengalis you cannot play him across the line he’s likely to get you bowled that’s what Australian never did and moeen Ali hence they were successful
 
The ex Under19 superstars Mehidy and Shaifuddin playing it smartly compared to overhyped Sabbir & Mosaddek.
 
Kuldeep slowly getting back in rhythm. :) Can't really overstate the importance of matchwinning bowlers like him.
 
Poor performance but seems like we were not too bothered about it
Have Bangladesh still got that mentality of when they win an odd ODI here & there they celebrate as if theyv won a wrld cup & a test series in Aus?

Even SL had a world cup to there names after 20 years of being a test playing nation..

It has changed a bit - last time knocked PAK out of Asia Cup and players left the field as if a routine job completed, no big deal.

In a Pakistani forum, before using words like "even", you better check their sports achievements.

Just see their celebration in YouTube when they beat WI in the tri series. Old habits die hard, Afghans are better winners.

Better not to reply to them and give them what they want. They will post 100 comment against us and if one stands up, we are arrogant :shakib

It's lot different facing Kuldeep in T20's and odi's.You can go after him in T20's knowing you have wickets in hand but while facing him in middle overs of ODI you have to calculate whether that risk is worth the reward.Any kind of hesitation in your approach and Kuldeep can easily induce a mishit from the batsman.

Besides Moeen Ali hit it straight to fielder in that expensive over from Kuldeep on the third ball and the fielder lost it in the lights.He got Moeen Ali out on the last ball anyway.That exact over would be a win for the bowler in the ODI's

Not having a go at them just saying Ind Pak SL were giants of the games after 20 years of bring test playing nation.

Bangladesh now should be smashing teams out of sight & getting deep into icc tourneys..

We don’t have quality fast bowlers.
 
This practice match has revealed that how trash our bowling is on flat wickets.

Best medicine for unworthy arrogance is to expose in middle of market - that won't change habit (which is a 2nd nature), but it'll definitely restrain fools next time.
 
We have a surprise package. Forhad Reza :razzaq

What happened to Tuskin. He was pretty sharp from what i saw. I think Fiz's novely has worn off. He still can surprise a few teams. But Rubel is BD's own umesh Yadav. Also Shakib should finding the right speed to bowl on these pitches. Not darting everything on the leg stump. They are decent. not mediocre as Mortaza is a canny bowler even with slow speed. Their fielding has to step up really big time as well.
 
BD lacks the X factor in their bowling department. Their batting unit has to make up for it.

Yes. Bowling is likely to get hammered in every big match. It's a huge pressure on our batting line up. Even our 2007 WC bowlers were better than this

It doesn't matter how long who is playing. SRL did that in 20 years, because they were that good at that, Bangladesh isn't ........ but, there are other teams not smashing teams out of sight despite playing longer than Bangladesh, so it's not a monopoly of Bangladesh only.

But, there are not many teams heading towards minnow territory after 70 years of cricket - that's a special class indeed.

Taskin went through a tough time. He had to change his bowling action. Then returned off color. Did a hard work to get back his form in BPL. Got injury in the last match. Went off for few months got back again but it was too late to be included in the WC squad
