New Zealand [248/8] beat Bangladesh [244] by 2 wickets in the 9th match of 2019 World Cup

Losing wickets at wrong time - all 4. But, still RR is good, what they need is to put a partnership, even allowing RR to drop a bit and reach 40th over with 4 down. Otherwise we might not play out 50 overs.

They were playing really well...against Nz pacers its not easy. However wickets came in at the very wrong time all four of them.
 
shakib played a lazy shot. It was short and wide but lethargic shot! Both key seniors getting out softly. That’s Two of the big guns of your batting line up! It won’t help trying to get a big total.
 
Lazy body language from BD players. Thats why BD will always be treated as minnows. One or two good wins is their max range.
 
Tamim Iqbal has been very poor, his World Cup record is shameful. Averaging 22 with a strike rate of 60, we should try Liton next match

Yeah, definitely. I said it previous page. They look as if like fasting today than the other day when they were for real but had much more energy and better body language!
 
This is all too slow atm. Thanks to the seniors getting out wrong times giving away freely.

Last two overs only 4 runs. Strike rotation poor, boundaries not coming like the sa game. Shakib needed to bat till 42nd!

Yeah Shakib really got out at the wrong time. I think 280+ will be challenging.
 
Wow you don't guys don't half whine :)) If BD can get to 280 it will be game on. You still have 13 overs.
 
If the tigers get out for a low score here, nz should win it easily.
 
Keep hopping between this and Ind-SA. Plenty of compelling cricket today.

Wicket is fine, maybe a little slower than normal Oval pitch but just some poor shot selection and terrible running between wickets for the run out is costing BD.
 
Santner is a very handy spinner - his figures today are a throwback to 1990s ODIs.
 
Mithun walks out of the crease and pulls a nothing shot like that to get out. Another one got a start, set, and gives it away like that. Appalling batting!

Am not sure what exactly is this guys role in the team! Is he there to he a accumulator? Big hitter? Steady the collapse?
Mahmudullah, Mossadekk, Miraz can all do what does for the side, then why is the need for another batsmen in Mithun?!

I think this game is a bit better balanced. Can't see India failing to chase down 228.

BD have competed well against NZ who I consider one of the best ODI sides, certainly bowling wise. Maybe lost one too many wickets to really push for 280 which would make this a real challenge for NZ.
 
Is it that the old ball is moving better or it's because of the cloud covering has increased?
 
Guha talking absolute crap saying BD need to start pushing the R/R. Still 11 overs to negotiate, they need to have enough wickets in hand to attack the last 5 overs. No point in risking any more wickets at this point.
 
Early on post 10 ov, the singles weren't coming, it followed throughout very poor strike rotation. It doesnt help when the boundaries are not coming well!

Does Bangladesh have any lower order hitters ? These last ten overs they'll be looking to push on.
 
Chokli said:
Bit of both I reckon plus some extremely good fielding.

Yeah won't be surprised to see NZ top the fielding charts, they make it so frustrating for batsmen looking to rotate. SA have been unusually slack as were England albeit in their last game.

Mosssdek recently got the fastest 50 for a Bengali.

And Mahmudullah can definitely hit.

Mehdi Hasan and Mashrafe can also whack a few

They r the best fielding unit in world for last few years.
 
Santner is very tall hence gets extra bounce and his variations are very good. BD missed a trick not picking Naeem Hasan, who is a tall offie.
 
This pair scored 54 in last 4 against SAF. Don't expect that, but if they take it to 203-5 by 44 overs, last 36 balls should fetch 55-60.

Different pitch, ball is just not coming onto the bat as well as they would like.

I reckon 260 is what they should target
 
If these guys get 260 then I think the Bengali spinners will be key to choke down NZ.

We've seen the Bangladeshi spinners do this countless times in BD.
 
You just can't get through this NZ infield at times. Wonderful fielding unit.

8 overs left, BD gotta get cracking.

Yes especially if the surface is slow and dry. Oval has helped spinners over the years.
 
Bangladesh batting this innings seemed so confused. Had a Good start, then after 10 lack of boundaries, singles weren't coming, set batsmen getting out wrong times, new man coming in too often taking an age to get set again, then gifts his wicket. Ultra frustrating innings!
 
Theres definitely something for spin on this wicket. Seems slow and gripping. BD need to get 270 somehow!
 
This innings if fizzling out. last couple of wickets have really hamstrung the late charge.
 
I think its very difficult to bat on this pitch. 230 is enough to defend.

They'll be in with a chance.... Only if the current Bangladeshi batsmen show some common sense.

Mahmudullah had been on the crease for quite a while and gave his wicket away :facepalm:
 
Santner's performance should encourage Miraz and Shakib.

Santner is a real asset in ODIs with how economical he is.
 
Always 2 wicket behind. But wicket is definitely slow - Miraz & Saif should support Mosaddek to finish it at 250+ Won't be enough but won't be easy either.
 
Bangladesh batsmen needed to resit the target. 270-280 match is on. It’s a slow wicket (it looks that way) there’s something for spinners. But once shakib got out BD players needed a message from upstairs to use their heads properly, this isn’t 320-330 wicket, get 270 plus!
 
Oval, South East London. Will always get big BD crowds it’s close to London borough of tower hamlets where there’s about 100k Bangladeshis in T.H, East London in general has most of the BD population. If the stadium was in Newham it would’ve been even better. England should’ve got the olympic stadium for the WC!

Yeah unfortunately the logistics made it difficult such as the position of the floodlights, big screens and they would've had to reduce the capacity temporarily.

But the tournament organisers did right by having several BD matches, including the first two, in London given the population makeup. The Oval is a fantastic ground.

How about the Pakistani matches? Lots of Pakistanis in the area where we are playing all our matches?
 
Mahmudullah got out softly. Needed him for the end overs! I reckon M’ullah should bat 7! He is a finisher and doesn’t set it up well like 2015 wc. He himself I reckon believes in himself being a finisher. Miraz should bat at 5.
 
Curious that 7 BD players' names begin with M and three with S. Tamim the exception.

7 is too low for him.

He needs to bat at 5.

Liton
Sarkar
Shakib
Mushfiqur
Mahmudullah
Mithun
 
After the start. BD should’ve got 270-285 but instead they thought they’ll get 300+ some daft cricket from the middle order. And now the late order suffering to even get 250! FS!
 
Mashrafe is proper hack. One thing I hate about mash is he never took batting serious. He has the power to hit big sixes and should’ve given BD more with the bat.



Pathetic batting. Seniors were at fault for this abysmal effort!
 
Chokli said:
If they had gotten 260+ then I'd back their bowlers to defend.

240 is too less.

Didn't know Bangladesh bowlers are that good. Don't think even India cannot defend 260 in this pitch against NZ.

They have good spinners and Shafiuddin gets the ball to nip back in.

244 all out

BD would feel 20 runs short here

270-280 game was on.

So frustrating to say the least, about this innings. Tbh they looked comfortable most stages of the innings, but gave away wickets softly wrong times, and kept doing it again and again, which stopped the innings from growing. It was start, stop throughout. They should be kicking themselves for this poor effort especially after the initial good solid start in the first ten.
 
My worst fear was that we'll be all-out before 50 overs. 20 short I guess for a fighting chance, but they'll keep Kiwis 45 overs in middle.
 
Santner is saying wicket is ‘abit slow’ theres something in it for spinners. But 244 is too less. BD Didn’t even get the psychological score of 250!
 
Chokli said:
I reckon NZ will get there with 3 wickets to spare.
Click to expand...

Could be easier, but it depends on 1st spell. This wicket will get slower but if they race to like 100-1 in 18-19 overs, then they'll just walk past the target. Need to strike with new ball and get rid of the 2 power hitters at top.

Shafiuddin is an ok bowler and no where like any English/Australia/S Africa bowlers and some of India/Pakistan bowler.
Sakib and Mashrafee are the key.
 
I think we should rest Tamim in the next match, he is really struggling and adding pressure on rest of the team.

Liton
Soumya
Shakib
Mushfiq
Mosaddek
Mahmudullah
Sabbir
Shafiuddin
Miraz
Rubel
Mustafiz

Mashrafee can be 12th man and field for Liton and captain the side.
