Ironical. Bangla-wash. They would want to win at least one game. Shakib probably adds some strength to their side.

 

[Firebat]

Bangladesh have won the toss and have opted to field

Bangladesh: Najmul Hossain Shanto, Soumya Sarkar, Litton Das, Shakib al Hasan (C), Afid Hossain, Mosaddek Hossain, Nurul Hasan, Yasir Ali, Mohammad Saifuddin, Ebadot Hossain, Shoriful Islam

New Zealand: Devon Conway, Finn Allen, Martin Guptill, Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, James Neesham, Michael Bracewell, Ish Sodhi, Adam Milne, Tim Southee, Trent Boult

 

[pakpassfan]

Oh man another boring *** game

 

[sweep_shot]

Good to see Soumya back. He can hit better than Miraz.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD dropped Nasum. Why?

Nasum is more economical than pacers.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Credit to BCB for planning series against big boys. Its not easy for minnow teams to play series like this.

 

[sweep_shot]

Finn seems to be in good form. Hitting well.

NZ - 17/0 (2 overs).

Credit to BCB for planning series against big boys. Its not easy for minnow teams to play series like this.

TBH, this is not really a high-profile series.

It is a T20 junk series.

 

[sweep_shot]

Brainless captaincy. Giving one over each to every bowler.

This doesn't allow the bowler to settle.

 

[Champ_Pal]

TBH, this is not really a high-profile series.

It is a T20 junk series.

Teams like Ireland and Afghanistan do not get that. They both are on par with BD. In Afghanistan's case, they are better than BD.

 

[Aman]

Finn is a beast, complete mishits going for six on a big ground.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Finn Allen has fast bat swing in addition to power.

 

[Aman]

Another 6.

Finn is so fun to watch.


Hopefully he can carry this form into the WC.

What a talent.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Finn Allen's strike rate against length ball is 303 lol

 

[Aman]

Finn Allen has fast bat swing in addition to power.

Just watch some of the shots he plays when he's in the zone.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Sound it makes is very nice lke Yuvraj's bat makes

 

[jattafridi]

Shakib vs Nz

 

[Champ_Pal]

Finn Allen is like Alex Hales. On their day, they can destroy any bowling attack.

 

[jnaveen1980]

In all likelihood NZ will bat BD out of the match if Finn Allen stays for another 10 overs.

 

[sweep_shot]

NZ - 32/0 (3 overs).

Two sixes from Finn.

 

[pakpassfan]

That's because of sponsorship..AFG can't afford a home venue let alone a sponsorship..BD on other had is blessed with a huge fan base on account of their population. their fans deserve better than the team they got

 

[jnaveen1980]

Guptill is the same height. They use long levers to reach anything and everything. Imagine Guptill and Finn Allen in full flight.Will be destructive

Passionate fans supporting a bad team.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Nice sound it makes.

 

[sweep_shot]

NZ - 45/0 (4.1 overs).

Kiwis are looking good for 200+.

 

[pakpassfan]

EEeeu

3eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeseeeeeee

 

[sweep_shot]

Wicket. Finn is gone.

Big wicket.

 

[jnaveen1980]

very good catch.

 

[jattafridi]

Take that fin Allen

What a catch

 

[Aman]

Finn goes but does the job to get the team off a good start.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Shorif Baccha gets Allen.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Many Asian fielders would have put that catch down.

 

[sweep_shot]

Now that Finn is gone, run rate should drop a bit.

NZ - 47/1 (5 overs).

 

[jnaveen1980]

Finn Allen 16 T20Is 27 sixes.

 

[light]

The guy who took the catch, can't tell if he is overweight or those are muscles. Cricket eh? who cares about how the body looks? lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

slightly chubby not like that Afghan keeper. That guy got some power though.

 

[sweep_shot]

Powerplay is done.

NZ - 54/1 (6 overs).

Finn has done his job.

 

[sweep_shot]

The guy who took the catch, can't tell if he is overweight or those are muscles. Cricket eh? who cares about how the body looks? lol

That is fat. Doesn't seem like muscles.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Conway is a steady batsman with good technique. His recent test series failure in England was surprising.

 

[sweep_shot]

Guptill seems to be struggling.

2* from 7.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Guptill has this weakness against incoming delivery at a nagging length regardless of the pace.

 

[sweep_shot]

Guptill has this weakness against incoming delivery at a nagging length regardless of the pace.

He's old now. Used to be a devastating opener.

Should retire.

 

[sweep_shot]

NZ - 68/1 (8 overs).

Run rate was over 11 when Finn was there. Has gone below 9 since then.

 

[jnaveen1980]

He's old now. Used to be a devastating opener.

Should retire.

He is a T20 legend.

 

[jnaveen1980]

9 wickets in hand. Seems like he is trying to find some form.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Fantastic backfoot player Conway.

 

[jnaveen1980]

On cue commies say the same

 

[sweep_shot]

NZ - 87/1 (10 overs).

Anything over 150 should be too much for BD.

BD has to come out of this surrender mode. Either they have to become an exceptionally good bowling unit or batting unit. Power game is a distant dream for BD rightnow. So they have to develop smart bowles with trickeries like SL does.

I agree.

They were better than this for a while but things have gone downhill since then.

 

[jnaveen1980]

What a difference it makes without Kane williamson. Free flowing batsmen one after another.

 

[jnaveen1980]

18 from Shakib

 

[jnaveen1980]

Well done Conway.

 

[jnaveen1980]

You need finishers. Otherwise all the work will be undone.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Already too much for BD

 

[Kianig89]

Kiwis making a mockery of Tigers & Shaheens

 

[jnaveen1980]

His forearms are like Markram's forearms

 

[jnaveen1980]

This chapman is hit or miss. Has a 50 against India batting at no.3 at a low strike rate. Otherwise his career is poor. Just 125 strike rate.

 

[Zeshan547]

This is how actual and real finishers and hard hitter play.

 

[jnaveen1980]

No holds-barred approach. Very entertaining.

 

[jnaveen1980]

60 of 24 balls wow

 

[da_don]

ebadot celebrating after getting a wicket after kiwis have thrashed them

 

[Zeshan547]

ebadot celebrating after getting a wicket after kiwis have thrashed them

He outdid Hassan Ali, that takes some doing.

 

[light]

That was some fun batting. Am not gonna stick around for the second innings. We all know what's bout to happen, lol

 

[Kianig89]

Whatever Bangladesh will have moral victory

 

[jnaveen1980]

How the heck 4 very good new Zealand fielders did not attempt a catch around the center of the pitch? They all looked at each other ball fell right between them

 

[zacattakk]

That was hilarious as a neutral but NZ should be really embarrassed with that.

 

[jnaveen1980]

That was express stuff from Milne. No answer from Shanto.

 

[Ozeirk]

If Bangladesh loses this game they are out

 

[MenInG]

To be honest, I expected worst from BD

NZ 208/5 (20)
BAN 44/1 (5.1) CRR: 8.52 REQ: 11.12
Bangladesh need 165 runs in 89 balls

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Ok das gone, stupid shot

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Shakib is old gun now...

 

[jnaveen1980]

BD is fighting back well. They need to constantly hit fours though.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Real challenge is on. Milne.

 

[jnaveen1980]

BD running between the wicket is cringeworthy. That was a certain 2.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Sarkar bounced out.

 

[Zeshan547]

BD batting be teer than US, such a useless batting we have.

 

[Suleiman]

Pak is screwed now that a genuine pacer is playing for NZ.

That weird bowling combo with NZ packing 3 spinners was supposed to be the easy game )

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bangla wash for Bangladesh sponsored by Bangla wash detergent.
