Better than scraping to loses against USA bro
Have faith bro stay positive
I m not. I m furious. If I could get the batters in front I would have kicked at the buttock of everyone.
No, not undisputedly at all.
We know what is waiting on Sunday. But I would be very glad if we all are proven wrong on Sunday. India has made Asian cricket boring. Only win win win win.....I just hate them.Yeah Pak be like: "Itna hi aata hai bas"
Toh khud ki game improve karo na, why hating? You have a decent economy, large population, and a rich board. invest in infra, build decent stadiums, you even manage to almost destroy one world class stroke player that you have, Litton Das, by making him play in that Mirpur swamp.
They have to acquire skills and temperament first
Correct. Pakistan crawled to victories in 2/3 super 4 matches and lost one badly against India. They are not better than Afghanistan, SRL and Bangladesh. Pakistan even got lucky against UAE, otherwise their campaign would have ended in the first round.
Why did those teams not scrape to victory?
Pakistan had better lower order I guess..
Pak fans and team.
Generally you’re good with predictions but today got 2 wrong first if Pak could go above 120 and then also predicted an easy bangla win. Anyone can get it wrong just highlighting because I like your analysis. Cheers.
Lol, I wished he was commentating at the fag end of the match when all hope was lost for bangla. Athar is like a fanboy who has accidentally stumbled into the broadcast booth
I think he had likely disappeared to the nearest hotel bar by then..
A big Thank You to Bangladesh for making Asian Cricket exciting with premature celebrations and inability to win absolutely anything worth.
Way back in 2012 Asia cup final BD lost to Pakistan by 2 runs lol. They know how to get close and lose it.
Love the Bangladeshi spirit. Keep it up.
It is indeed a sorry state of affair
Too many dot balls at the start. I’d say towards the end, Jaker’s dismissal was most disappointing. The half-hearted slog and losing his grip on the bat. You’d expect to see better from the captain.
I’d say kudos to BD for not even mentioning the part about tough scheduling.
Him and Sunil Gavaskar both
Bowling has improved quite a lot from the days of running Al Amin and what not. However, 50% I feel BD management are to blame for most of the losses. Their batting approach and application today was downright pathetic.
Hridoy bottled 2 games
Yeah, he is a mental midget. Supposedly our "big match player" labeled by Captain Litton.
Had to be one of the easiest chase. None of the bowling looked threatening. Shaheeen was bowling length balls. Almost all of them could have been tapped for singles and twos. Saim Ayub was bowling utter tripe. Can't believe they let him get away with cheap overs.
I honestly dont know what is wrong with them not just players but management, coaches and players themselves. I can bet you even if they had to chase 110, they would've lost.
All this time pak fans have been going after Hesson for his preference for bits and pieces players. I think moving Shaheen higher up made the batting look deeper than it is.
India did not win final because of that long tail for a long time. In 2024 they changed it. 8 batsmen 6 bowlers. Result has changed dramatically. Heck they used the same formula even in Tests in England. India was 211/5 at Edgbaston Gill added 344 runs with Sundar and Jadeja. In ODIs they won the CT. Batting depth makes even average team look better. The theory is simple. If you have 8 batsmen odds of 2 batsmen clicking is very high.
Pakistan always had bits and pieces right? Shadab, SHaheen, Naseem, Nawaz they were all part of the 2022 set up.
I don’t consider Shaheen a bits and pieces player at all. I mentioned him with reference to the tail looking shorter because of his promotion.
Yeah we made it into the final. The lower order has improved by miles.
@Nikhil_cric End of the jinx brother. Finally
Or they are just not that good.
They are #9 ranking T20 side, no one is saying they are good.
That is true, but the batting approach was completely ridiculous. There really is no excuse for not being able to chase down 135. I honestly dont think they would be able to chase down 100 runs in a Final match.
TBH no one expected BD to come this far..Ban batting got exposed in the last match against India itself..w.r.t bowling i felt Bang bowled better than Pakistan.. despite their terrible batting they were only 11 runs short which wouldn't have been the case if they had taken either of Shaheen or Nawaz wicket..
Bilaterals are counted in the ranking. But yes, it is failure of BCB for not being able to manage players as they transition from u19 to big league.
You have overrated Under 19 World Cups ever since BD won one.
Thats because that is the only tournament we seem to do well. I would say we are favorite for next Edition whenever that happens.
I request you and people to follow two things.
When we look at everything in isolation , it can happen. But when everything comes together like a Michelin star recipe, there's some serious cooking going on behind the scenes brother.
