India v Bangladesh | World T20 | Trent Bridge | 6/6/09

[Deewana Mastana]

Followed up with a 4

 

[Lethal]

Now Irfan hits a four in the same area.

This is seriously poor bowling

 

[Lethal]

India finish with 180 runs.

Bangladesh need 181 to win

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

ok 181 the target by bangala....... hope they get it, but bangala need to be disciplined
in their batting and not throw it away

 

[filosofee]

Not bad score by India. Is this the highest by one side so far? Can Banglesdesh score 9 runs an over?

 

[iZeeshan]

Bangladesh will have an extremely difficult time chasing this, but it's not impossible.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

181 to win for Bangladesh

 

[hashman]

daunting task ahead for bangladesh. 181 to win at 9 an over.... top 4 need to fire

 

[Viv_rav]

like I said, India needs to pepper the batting with leg side sloggers. 1 after each normal wicket. Raina/IP/YP/Yuvi are all candidates.

 

[12thMan]

very good batting by India in last 6 overs. They have a very good and flexible team

 

[Murad]

yuvi helped india score big in the 5 overs...

poor bowling from BD bowlers. too many short balls and on the leg side..

 

[Murad]

Not bad score by India. Is this the highest by one side so far? Can Banglesdesh score 9 runs an over?

They scored 181 against OZ in the warm up game

but it will be difficult today

 

[invincible]

Yuvraj saved us from a bit of trouble and took India to a decent total. Dhoni shouldn't bat ahead of Raina really! He is much more accomplished as a batsman than Dhoni (especially against Spinners).

Zaheer is back in the team but I hope he is not rusty. If we can get early wickets, I don't think Bangladesh have enough depth to chase 180. Their big guns need to be contained

 

[Lethal]

Zunaid Siddique and Tamim Iqbal are out in the middle

 

[sohaibsyed]

This should be interesting, but Bangladesh will have to play out of their skins

 

[Lethal]

Zaheer Khan to bowl to Tamim Iqbal

 

[Deewana Mastana]

That was a half volley and if Pak was fielding it was a certain 4

 

[Lethal]

Tamim hits the first ball firmly through the covers but finds the fielder.

Two dot balls now

 

[Deewana Mastana]

2 dott balls to start off with

 

[deep82]

Dhoni & Gambhit sucked today...easily wasted 4-5 crucial overs in the middle.. really we don't want to see them bat together....they must be accompanied by a six hitter atleast the other end otherwise we would be found out against better teams....

Also Sehwag must come back at top of order./...Rohit is good but Sehwag once going is unstoppable...how about giving 'Gambhir' a rest and going for a full monty....


Rohit
Sehwag
Raina
Yuvraj
Dhoni (only consolidator)
Y Ptahan
I pathan

..the bowlers

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Flicked away for 2 runs

 

[Lethal]

Good flick shot by Tamim. 2 runs

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Edged and over slip for 4 runs!

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

44444 lucky break for tamin

 

[Lethal]

Tamim edges it over Pathan at first slip. Gone for 4

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Nice shot by Tamim hits it for 4

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

[On_the_up]

[sohaibsyed]

[Lethal]

What a shot by Tamim. Down the ground for 4. Played with a straight bat.

 

[On_the_up]

then a class lift on the on side for 4

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Just short of mid off

10 for 0 after 1 over

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

10/0 good start

 

[Lethal]

10-0 off the first over. Not bad at all

 

[sohaibsyed]

The second one much better

 

[On_the_up]

10-0 after 1

 

[Lethal]

Irfan Pathan from the Pavilion End.

 

[On_the_up]

tamim and Shakib are the key

 

[sohaibsyed]

[Deewana Mastana]

[Inswinging Yorker]

swung for 6666666666666666666666666666666666666666

[On_the_up]

super shot siddiqui

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

[sohaibsyed]

[iafzal]

Woha what a start by BD?

[Inswinging Yorker]

[kablooee87]

Nice showboating from Dhoni. He loves doing that.

 

[CricVet]

Silly

 

[On_the_up]

ashraful next in favourite shot is pull

 

[Viv_rav]

ugh, this bengali team is scary. Isnt ashraful known for fast footwork against spinners? or is that Hasan?

 

[On_the_up]

3 down. to 3rd man

 

[On_the_up]

28-1 off 3

 

[12thMan]

Ashraful's favorite shot is Pull. I guess that is how he gets out most

 

[CricVet]

BD LOSE by 10-15 I think

 

[iafzal]

BD LOSE by 10-15 I think

that will be a moral vitory for them to make it a godd close match.

 

[On_the_up]

 

[Amjid Javed]

Bangla batsmen need to just keep their heads here!

 

[On_the_up]

four more down the ground

 

[161]

Smart captaincy by Dhoni bringing the spinner in early.

Tamim fell for the trap immediately !

 

[On_the_up]

38-1 off 4

 

[CricVet]

that will be a moral vitory for them to make it a godd close match.

Well, that won't help them move forward in this tournament. I understand that it might help them do better in the next match.
