So Pakistan are through to the finals and Bangladesh have pride to play for.

For Pakistan another chance to finalize their XI and strategy as well.

For Bangladesh, a chance for the likes of Shakib to get into form and set himself for the ICC tournament.

“When you score runs you feel better but having said that we played well, the pitch was different than the other one. New Zealand put a good total and we were always behind in the game. If we had scored 15-20 runs it would've been better,” said Shakib at the post-match presentation.

“Losing wickets cost us the game too. If you look at our last three games, we've been losing wickets consistently every few overs, and you don't get momentum. You are left forcing to build innings. We are not that far, we have a few areas we need to fix. We know what exactly the T20 World Cup team is, we were just trying to give some guys a game to understand the best combination for the T20 World Cup,” he added.

With Bangladesh taking on Pakistan in their last game of the series Thursday, Shakib is optimistic of securing at least one win before travelling to Australia for the T20 World Cup, scheduled to begin next week.

“We'll approach [Thursday] to try and win the game [against Pakistan]. That's why it is an important match"

 

[sweep_shot]

This series is a nice warmup for World T20.

Bangladesh have shown they are not ready for World T20 and are likely to get smashed badly.

 

[Suleiman]

Idiot test for PCB management: If they play Rizwan in this game that doesn’t matter or finally rest him

 

[Mas-LFC]

Another thumping coming for Team Bangladesh.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Useless match today. They should rest Rizwan and keep Rauf rested too.

Ideally rest Shadab too as Shadab hasn't been fully healthy.

But they probably won't. They'll go full strength to beat Bangladesh in a rubber match and then their tired players will lose to NZ the following day.

 

[LegendAli]

Have a feeling it will be more competitive then their last game together.

Bangla can even pull a victory here possibly.

 

[ChTab]

Bangladesh are not going to win they're a pathetic team & they will even lose the T20 matches vs associate nations.

 

[daytrader]

Bangladesh won the toss and have opted to bat

 

[JilaWatan]

Hasnain in for dahani

 

[daytrader]

Pakistan (Playing XI): Mohammad Rizwan(w), Babar Azam(c), Shan Masood, Shadab Khan, Iftikhar Ahmed, Haider Ali, Asif Ali, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Naseem Shah, Mohammad Hasnain

Bangladesh (Playing XI): Litton Das, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Soumya Sarkar, Shakib Al Hasan(c), Afif Hossain, Yasir Ali, Nurul Hasan(w), Mohammad Saifuddin, Shoriful Islam, Taskin Ahmed, Hasan Mahmud

 

[sweep_shot]

No Rauf. Good to rest him for this useless game.

 

[Zeshan547]

Lol so expected, it's so obvious and oblivious that it's not even funny anymore, they are not even playing Harris for Rizwan but God forbid they somehow manage to get to semi and Rizzy get injured than we shall play Total rookie like Haris. There won't be even much change in intent, even though they should atleast try to play with full freedom because result matter zilch in this Match.

For us to get into semis, Rizwan and Babar will be the key as usual. Give them the time in the middle, no point experimenting at this stage.

 

[saabir]

Why they r not resting Rizwan. He along with Babar playing non stop cricket since long. These openers should have taken a day off and come fresh tomarrow for finals. But Pak is so desperate to win this match .

 

[Suleiman]

Rizwan playing again )

He’s doing his best to burn himself out before the WC. Assuming it’s his decision, if not, then it must be the good ol thick tank.

 

[Zeshan547]

They are too serious for their own good and too many insecure, It's utter self destruction.

 

[Asif321]

Honestly ridiculous. You are playing a full strength side in a dead rubber . What is Rizwan scared of ?
It’s players own fault they don’t want to rest . So insecure

 

[ChTab]

Babar hoping to get some easy runs vs The mighty Bangladesh

 

[Asif321]

It’s not they . It’s him . He doesn’t want to rest

 

[sweep_shot]

Naseem has a Test hat-trick against BD. Good opportunity for him to get a T20 hat-trick.

 

[jattafridi]

Mohammad hasnain vs Bangla

 

[sweep_shot]

BD need to score 165-170 to make a match out of it.

But, they will probably end up with 120-130. Let's see.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Wow how was that not bowled.

Batter lucky to somehow survive the over.

 

[sweep_shot]

What is Shanto doing? 0* from 7 balls. LOL.

Test match going on.

 

[sweep_shot]

Poor start.

BD - 7/0 (2 overs).

 

[sweep_shot]

Souyma is gone.

Naseem gets his first wicket.

7/1.

 

[Suleiman]

Look at BD experiment with their opening pair so many times. We haven’t tried even once to change things up save for promoting Shadab at 4.

 

[sweep_shot]

Naseem got hit. I hope he is okay.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Babar and Rizwan would never have missed this match.

This is where they chase 120 and strike 50s while fans go Gaga over them.

 

[zacattakk]

It’s not they . It’s him . He doesn’t want to rest

Thats where you need a strong management team who put their foot down and take the decision out of his hands. Instead we have a weak coach and captain who will let the senior player dictate

 

[sweep_shot]

Back to back boundaries from Liton. He is struggling with some type of injury.

 

[daytrader]

Not sure why Hasnain wasn't given another over

 

[sweep_shot]

Not sure why Shakib is not at #3.

BD - 20/1 (4 overs).

 

[Nasty Naz]

Our seamers need to come around the wicket more often vs lefties. All right arm pacers giving them the same angle to get used to.

 

[daytrader]

Back to back boundaries from Liton. He is struggling with some type of injury.

Cramps for the birthday boy. Looking in good touch though

 

[sweep_shot]

Not sure why Hasnain wasn't given another over

Changed end.

Bowling the 5th over.

 

[imshally81]

Oh almost out

15 runs in last over

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Dropped.

 

[sweep_shot]

Hasnain's 2nd over has been expensive.

BD - 35/1 (5 overs).

 

[Nasty Naz]

Pakistan fielders drop yet another dolly catch.

 

[imshally81]

Suddenly... BD on fire

 

[sweep_shot]

Shan drops an easy catch.

 

[daytrader]

Hasnain hard done here by the dropped catch. Almost had the batter in form

 

[sweep_shot]

Suddenly... BD on fire

Nature of T20. All it takes is 2-3 good overs.

 

[imshally81]

Shanto gone

 

[zacattakk]

Lucky wicket for Wasim. He's mostly been bowling rubbish

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shanto gets out to a freebie down the leg side ball. Team like BD who don't have the power in their line up cannot afford to get out softly to balls like this

 

[jattafridi]

Shakib is here

 

[jnaveen1980]

All in all ordinary cricket.

 

[sweep_shot]

2nd wicket. Shanto is out.

41/2.

 

[sweep_shot]

Shanto gets out to a freebie down the leg side ball. Team like BD who don't have the power in their line up cannot afford to get out softly to balls like this

Yup. That was a bad ball. Should've been put away.

 

[imshally81]

Good over by Waseem

 

[daytrader]

BAN 41/2 in the PP

 

[Nasty Naz]

Pakistan's fielding is truly hilarious.

 

[sweep_shot]

Powerplay is done.

BD - 41/2 (6 overs).

 

[ChTab]

What is Shanto doing? 0* from 7 balls. LOL.

Test match going on.

He probably idolize Babar

 

[daytrader]

A dropped catch, missed run out - typical Pakistani fielding

 

[Ahmed216]

I hope Bangladesh put up 160-170. That would mean game over for the most batting lineup up ever from Pak

 

[jnaveen1980]

Is Mushfiqur Rahim binned or resting? His keeping was terrible. Made a lot of mess. Can he still play purely as a batsman?

 

[Dr_Bassim]

I hope Bangladesh put up 160-170. That would mean game over for the most batting lineup up ever from Pak

Even if Bangladesh score 200 Pakistan will win.

This match is inconsequential.

 

[sweep_shot]

Mushfiq has retired from T20I after poor Asia Cup. Tamim is retired from T20I too.

Mahmudullah has been dropped.

 

[Gollum]

Mediocre fielding! Unable take simple catches or hit the wicket to save a life.

 

[sweep_shot]

44/2 (7 overs).

Poor run rate.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Mushfiq has retired from T20I after poor Asia Cup.

oh k. What about Mahmdullah?

 

[rhony]

Something is wrong with BD. It's a dead rubber. One of your premier batsman is injured. WC is 4 days away and he's still playing grimacing during every single.

 

[sweep_shot]

I think Liton should get out now. He is struggling and unable to take quick runs. Hurting the team.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Something is wrong with BD. It's a dead rubber. One of your premier batsman is injured. WC is 4 days away and he's still playing grimacing during every single.

Yes. He should have walked away. This match means nothing. At worst he should go after bowling and get out instead of hanging around.

 

[imshally81]

17 runs in Nawaz over

 

[daytrader]

Even if Bangladesh score 200 Pakistan will win.

This match is inconsequential.

It'd be good practice

 

[sweep_shot]

oh k. What about Mahmdullah?

Mahmudullah has been dropped. I think he should've been selected here.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

It'd be good practice

Yeah for Rizwan and Babar to pad stats.

 

[Savak]

17 runs in Nawaz over

He's been poor off late.

 

[shah_1]

Nawaz is a fraud when the pitch has nothing for spinners. It was awful to see Imad Wasim being dropped like that.

 

[sweep_shot]

Six. 17 off the over. Nawaz is being expensive.

61/2 (8 overs).

 

[jnaveen1980]

Mahmudullah has been dropped. I think he should've been selected here.

Seems like he has 20 syndrome 22, 27, 25, 27 last 4 innings.

 

[imshally81]

Good intentions by BD... Who is the coach of BD?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Good intentions by BD... Who is the coach of BD?

I think Sridharan Sriram.

 

[sweep_shot]

In the past, batters could take runners. Liton needs a runner here.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Litton is an impressive player. He played a blinder against us when nobody showed up.
