Pakistan (167/5) defeat Bangladesh (146/8) by 21 runs to win the first game of the Tri-series

[sweep_shot]

Six from Miraz.

Run rate is now 6.85.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Slot ball disappeared. This is the least you should do.

 

[Rana]

At least they are trying different opening combinations.

Pakistan have written in Loh e Mahfooz that Babar and Rizwan will open every game followed by Shan to complete the comedy.

Gray Nichols

“Drying paint line”

 

[jnaveen1980]

142.7 kph.

That's because their openers were scoring at SR below 100.

 

[Kianig89]

BD keeping wickets in hand

 

[Rana]

BD fans need to relax

Pakistan do this all the time and end up with 160-170 every time

 

[Kianig89]

Bar Haris our is a pedestrian attack

 

[Dios]

Wow a nearly 90m six from Miraz.

 

[jnaveen1980]

BD fans need to relax

Pakistan do this all the time and end up with 160-170 every time

DOes Pakistan have Fiz equivalent lol Fizz bowled halwa stuff

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 24/0 (4 overs).

144 runs are needed from 16 overs.

 

[MenInG]

142.7 kph.

Finishes over with 146.4 kph

 

[imshally81]

Out

 

[Rana]

Oh well

Hit out or get out

 

[Dios]

Why are these two trying to paddle sweep someone who can bowl 150 kph lol.

 

[Kashmirilion]

Barring that one six these openers look like tailenders

 

[sweep_shot]

Rauf is bowling with good pace.

Why are these two trying to paddle sweep someone who can bowl 150 kph lol.

Right. Too much premeditation.

 

[Rana]

DOes Pakistan have Fiz equivalent lol Fizz bowled halwa stuff

Dahani and Jr are there dw

 

[jnaveen1980]

Problem with BD is not just lack of boundary also lack of singles. 14 dot balls in 5 overs.

 

[D/DAhmed]

Good intent and creative shots from Bangla batsmen. Just like us they aren’t genetically gifted, but are lionhearted and unselfish.

 

[pakpassfan]

Problem with BD is not just lack of boundary also lack of singles. 14 dot balls in 5 overs.

Problem is they play cricket in the wrong tier

 

[sweep_shot]

Miraz is out.

Liton is in.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Wasim Jr with the breakthrough. Good to see after what happened in the last match.

 

[Kianig89]

Spanked for fourr

 

[Rana]

Dahani’s fielding getting exposed as well

 

[sweep_shot]

Liton is scoring better. Should've opened.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Srilanka when they were new to cricket had some powerful hitters. Mad Max Aravinda was a nightmare for a lot of sides. Then Jayasuriya.

 

[Kianig89]

BD need two good overs

 

[Rana]

They are neck and neck with Pakistan so far

And we have two of the best batsmen in the world at the top

 

[Energy]

Pakistan need Shaheen and Naseem to be fit. Hasnain, Wasim and Dahani are not good enough yet.

 

[Suleiman]

Junior is an awful bowler, boo on Mehidy, he should’ve smashed that ball.

 

[Rana]

Saabir was supposed to be a part of the magnificent 4

He couldn’t make it

 

[Suleiman]

At least Bangladesh are showing far more intent than we did.

 

[pakpassfan]

Junior is an awful bowler, boo on Mehidy, he should’ve smashed that ball.

Even bumrah would have hit that ball for a six

 

[Energy]

They are neck and neck with Pakistan so far

Look at the percentage of runs their No.s 4-6 will score. And then have a look at Pakistan's scorecard as well.

 

[Rana]

Poor innings by Saabir

Was better to just carry the bat now like Rizwan does

 

[sweep_shot]

Gone. Sabbir is out.

37/2 (5.5 overs).

 

[atomberg]

Gun fielder

 

[Kianig89]

BD are hapless

 

[jnaveen1980]

BD is struggling for each run.

 

[Rana]

Look at the percentage of runs their No.s 4-6 will score. And then have a look at Pakistan's scorecard as well.

More facts Rizwan fans cannot digest

The rr worms were there for everyone to see

 

[Mean&Green]

Lmao what did I say they will dance against haris's pace they have no clue

 

[atomberg]

Their main batsman Afif Hossain.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Bangladesh are barely surviving here.

A few missed chances, a lots of swings & misses.

Just as I type this, Rauf gets a wicket and thankfully the catch went to him.

 

[Rana]

Who did this?

Afif and Mehidy were so good in the Asia Cup as openers

Why change that pair?

 

[Mean&Green]

Dahani’s fielding getting exposed as well

He is actually a really good fielder all of these Pakistanis have been here for the first time plus the spikes and conditions rana saab you are usually right but thora hola hath rakho mundeya te

 

[D/DAhmed]

Afif Hossain is a talented batsman, would easily get into our middle order over the Tulla Trio

 

[Suleiman]

BD should see off Haris and then bash the other pacers for runs

 

[atomberg]

Who did this?

Afif and Mehidy were so good in the Asia Cup as openers

Why change that pair?

Afif never opened for Bangladesh. LOL

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

This is the only way haris can take wickets, either catch them yourself or bowled them out.

 

[sweep_shot]

It has been a boring game. Pakistan-NZ will be more exciting hopefully.

 

[Farabi]

Who did this?

Afif and Mehidy were so good in the Asia Cup as openers

Why change that pair?

Rizwan has been a “good” opener for a Pakistan yet you’re asking them to be changed?

 

[Rana]

BD have missed out on some easy boundaries

 

[jnaveen1980]

Yes Mark, you cannot catch the ball infront of the stumps.

 

[Energy]

More facts Rizwan fans cannot digest

The rr worms were there for everyone to see

I think you've got comprehension issues. No one is denying Pakistan were playing at 7rpo in the power play. So what? What is the issue there? They played at 8 rpo when chasing India's total. Played at 10 rpo when chasing England's total. Today, they were setting a platform and 7rpo for no wickets is perfectly acceptable if you'll hit out last 10-12 overs with 9 batters.

You have a knack of defending players who are pathetic and have a bias against those who are actually doing well. Seems to me you are either clinically depressed or seeking attention.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Real eyesore BD batting

 

[Rana]

Rizwan has been a “good” opener for a Pakistan yet you’re asking them to be changed?

Yes I don’t like Rizwan

No surprises there

 

[sweep_shot]

That was a poor review.

 

[lontje]

I guess things can always be worse.

Could be a Bangla supporter watching this batting

 

[MenInG]

Haris Rauf - spirit of a warrior!

[Rana]

Tbh Bangladesh have fluffed the powerplay

Not that they didn’t try

They just missed out on some easy slot ball boundaries

Now they are behind the game with two good spinners on

 

[sweep_shot]

Not sure what BD's game plan here is.

Bad batting so far.

 

[JimmyGetsBuckets]

Bangladesh is a proper minnow side

 

[atomberg]

Rizwan has been a “good” opener for a Pakistan yet you’re asking them to be changed?

This guy is something. Afif never opened for Bangladesh, and he never opened the innings with Mehidy.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Sowmya sarkar is one positive cricketer i have seen. What happeend to him? Not in consideration?

 

[Rana]

All I noted was the rr comparison up to that point

But you wanted to defend it by saying “wait for the final ball” lol

 

[Mean&Green]

Afif is the only good bd batsmen

 

[sweep_shot]

Sowmya sarkar is one positive cricketer i have seen. What happeend to him? Not in consideration?

He lost form and was dropped. I think he should return. Can bowl too.

 

[Rana]

Such a delightful track to bat on

England would score 300 against us on this

 

[MenInG]

Long may he continue serving Pakistan

 

[Rana]

Long may he continue serving Pakistan

And the opposition too

 

[Suleiman]

Waqar keeps blaming cold weather as if a snowman is tickling the bowlers every time they bowl filth

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Long may he continue serving Pakistan

With less selfish intent hopefully.

 

[Kianig89]

poor cricket all around

 

[sweep_shot]

Good over for BD. 13 from it.

 

[Rana]

Pakistan were 58-1 at this point

 

[Kianig89]

BD batting is also pathetic

 

[AAli98]

Long may he continue serving Pakistan

Yep long may Ifty asif kushdil Masood abuse the middle order of Pak.. there was another player called Talat Hussain who was equally as bad as these lot Luckily his been dispatched.

 

[Rana]

BD right in this contest

 

[Dr_Bassim]

BD right in this contest

They dont have Rizwan to win the match.
