Pakistan (132/6) defeat Bangladesh (127/7) by 4 wickets to win the 1st T20I

[Cric1234]

Give it a rest with the annoying posts.

Pakistan was clearly the best team for those conditions along with England.

Pakistan isn’t in high scoring matches even in home conditions in low scoring matches in UAE we could beat most teams.

 

[Shafi]

Rizwan gone!!!!

 

[imshally81]

Great delivery to remove rizwan..

 

[imshally81]

Good over.. Maybe not an easy chase..

 

[imshally81]

Oh it was out.... But they didn't appeal

 

[imshally81]

Babar gone...

 

[Omer2002]

Yes ppl here who kept on moaning about bangladesh team should be ashamed weak weak borinh etc...not to forget bangladesh missing 5 batsmen

 

[ARK Rafay]

Oh it was out.... But they didn't appeal

Doesn't matter now. It has been good bowling by Taskin,

 

[Shafi]

Poor batting so far.

 

[Shafi]

Yes ppl here who kept on moaning about bangladesh team should be ashamed weak weak borinh etc...not to forget bangladesh missing 5 batsmen

Exactly. We are playing with our main team. Our bowling was poor at the end.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Poor batting so far.

I find the pitch poor. Outfield isn't exactly that quick and low bounce plus ball sticking just enough to cause troubles.

 

[Cric1234]

Some earlier posts on Bangladesh are looking a bit silly now they are right in this match.

 

[imshally81]

Yes ppl here who kept on moaning about bangladesh team should be ashamed weak weak borinh etc...not to forget bangladesh missing 5 batsmen

We are also missing Sharjeel

 

[imshally81]

Haider gone

 

[Shafi]

We are also missing Sharjeel

Sharjeel will get out in 1st ball.

 

[imshally81]

It was plumb... Silly review

 

[Shafi]

Anything over 100 is challenging in this pitch.

 

[Cric1234]

Malik special needed now or Bangladesh are favourites Mamoon chalking his cue as we speak.

 

[Shafi]

If Malik fail we will loose this match. Our team is exposed badly here.

 

[fight_club]

This is the last match haider has played for pakistan because pak cant tolerate youngsters making mistake

 

[shah_1]

Bangla favourites

 

[Zeshan547]

What's even point of these pitches for BD? They still learned nothing after those WC loss matches. And it's not as if you can't produce better wickets in BD.

 

[Cric1234]

Great way to build Haiders confidence throw him in on a tough pitch not even give him a match against minnows in the World Cup.

 

[Shafi]

This guy Haider is just a hit/miss player. No talent.

How is this a tough pitch? Did u see the shot he played . Wat was he trying to do !!

He is playing against minnow now..

 

[oatmeal]

Shoiab Malik will feast here, his favourite opposition

 

[Shafi]

Looks like NZ D still better side than us. They played against main BD team and loss 3-2.

 

[Blackbradman]

Orgasm moments for Athar Ali Khan

 

[Cric1234]

How is this a tough pitch? Did u see the shot he played . Wat was he trying to do !!

He isn’t made for this kind of situation more of a flair player flatter wickets suit him best still learning but we might not see him for a while now that he’s failed.

 

[imshally81]

Oh no... Runout appeal and 3rd umpire in action

 

[shehwar]

Bangladesh may still lose here but with a fairly new inexperienced side against a world class Pakistan side - to put them under pressure with such a low score it’s down to THE POWER OF THE SHER-E-BANGLA stadium in Mirpur!

 

[imshally81]

He is gone.

 

[Cric1234]

Bangladesh are not minnow under these condition they can be competitive against most teams.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Why is Malik still playing ?

 

[oatmeal]

Very lazy from Malik, he is the most experienced cricketer by far but made an amateurish mistake

 

[sam_ahm]

Bangladesh are strong at home and I don't think Pakistan have taken them lightly. Tough match this now for Pak. 4 down.

 

[Shafi]

Good to see our team is getting exposed once again. Need to get rid of wanna be coach Saqlain and over-aged Malik.

 

[imshally81]

Pak can bat till 10...

 

[YousafTheBeast]

I take it they’re all local umpires, lol?

How come the 3rd umpire didn’t roll forward to see if the bat continued to go down even after the bails were dislodged?

 

[castortroy]

Didn't pak get hammered last time they were in Bangladesh?

 

[oatmeal]

Malik would have feasted in these conditions

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Lol look at the shot played. Patience is running out on this guy.

Haven’t scored any match winning knock since his debut.

It was close but I think the right decision. LED bails would have made it clearer

 

[imshally81]

Welcome boundary for Pakistan

 

[LongHorn]

Its all Bangladesh's fault for preparing such a bad pitch forcing Malik to make that mistake

 

[YousafTheBeast]

If there’s daylight between the ground and bat fair enough, but because it was so close they should’ve rolled the frame forward even after bails were dislodged.

Think this was out

 

[shariqnoor]

Playing in Bangladesh is an absolutely futile exercise. It doesn't tell you how bad the away team is nor does it tell you how good Bangladesh is.

Sure Bangladesh has all the right to make such pitches where 120 is as good as 200 but it tells you nothing about the quality of teams. NZ/Australia both lost to Bangladesh but will absolutely thrash them in every other part of the world. Pakistan may well lose the series but they will still be a significantly better team than Bangladesh. In order for Bangladesh to grow, they need to develop better pitches.

 

[emranabbas]

Here we need to drop the strike rate and play like a test match

 

[oatmeal]

This was of course Malik's mistake but making really slow spinning tracks are not the best way for Bangladesh to do well abroad and in ICC tourneys.

 

[Omer2002]

Why is everybody blaming Bangladesh pitches its called HOME advantage end off. India have rested all their players against a quality team like kiwis knowing their third string will beat them at home

 

[oatmeal]

Here we need to drop the strike rate and play like a test match

IF Pakistan can get to 14 overs without losing any more wickets even if scoring slowly, then it will be a winnable match

 

[shariqnoor]

If ever there was a worse thing than watching matches on Bangladesh pitches it's hearing Bangladesh commentary.

NZ and Australia played their c teams against Bangladesh A team

Here we have Pakistan A (minus Shaheen) verses Bangladesh B (minus Shakib and Mushfiq)

 

[ask_analyse_act]

I don’t think so, Malik is a good player of spin is actually a myth that was busted long time ago tbh.

 

[gazza619]

I dont mind the commentary enthusiasm.

The current Bangladesh wicket keeper is the one who is actually annoying me.

 

[sindhiboy]

Seems like Bangladesh is unbeatable at home

 

[shaz619]

Pak fans were a bit hostile in this thread towards BD for some reason, start to prepare for some humble pie lads, even without Shaheen this is a full strength Pak team, I don’t think management should have played all these blokes. In the event BD win, it will make matters worse; they will play Shaheen in all games to try and avoid a loss lol

BD fans should be wondering where was this fire and intensity from their team in the WT20, they are playing really well here and not just the spinners

 

[ARK Rafay]

Who is the coach and batting coach for Pakistan rn?

 

[ask_analyse_act]

I think Ifthikar will play next match instead of Haider Ali. If Ifthikar fails the. they badly need Haris Sohail to become proper fit and continue to bat in no.4 in LOIs atleast until 2023 WC

 

[Mamoon]

My my my )

Looks like the three week drama is over. The players and the fans are back on earth.

Form is temporary but Pakistan’s lack of class, talent and skill will always be permanent.

 

[imshally81]

We are not Australia... We play spin very well... So we have better chance to win the match..

This is Bangladesh's home conditions. They beat the Australian team here who won the world cup. The same world cup where Bangladesh couldn't win a game in Super 12.

Conditions and pitches play a big role.

 

[globalcitizen]

Brilliant by keeper to create a chance out of nothing

Welcome back Mamoon...
Long time.. No see

I really appreciate those keepers who have such awareness in game.

 

[Cric1234]

nambia would have done better here

 

[shariqnoor]

Their first teams would've been similarly thrashed in Bangladesh. If Australia can shell a test match with their first team to Bangladesh, a T20 is nothing.

Pakistan on the other hand will never play their B team, even against Italy.

 

[Rana]

Rizwan and Babar have destroyed Fakhar as well.

The mantra is, if you survive 30 balls for 31, you can reach 50 off 40 by speeding up, and 60 off 45 now that you are fully set. We will never get out of this timid batting approach as a nation!

 

[Blackbradman]

Time for Zaman to bring out slog sweeps

 

[globalcitizen]

For those complaining about pitches, this is still game of cricket and you need Cricketing skills to succeed.. which Bangla tigers are doing well than pakistan

What's impressive is fielding they are agile!!!

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

just tuned in, doesnot look an easy wicket, its sticky and low bounce.
But then there's the challenge.
Are these two guys from Khybar pashtun province or Balochistan? i thought i heard oneguy tell the other in a language not punjabi ,sindhi or sariki?

 

[oatmeal]

Need to get a move on here.

 

[imshally81]

Iftikhar is much better choice than Haider & Khushdil... If he is in squad..

 

[Rana]

Some of these strike rates are too fast for Misbah’s Test side

 

[ARK Rafay]

I do feel like Babar or Rizwan needs to bat at no. 3 if for long term we are looking at Fakhar, Babar and Rizwan for top 3.

 

[Blackbradman]

Couple of big hits here from Zaman would rattle Bangladesh bowlers
