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

[pakpassfan]

This BD team playing the world T20 directly in the main round over Srilanka or Westindies is the biggest farce of this tournament

I doubt BD could have made it to the main round if they played first round

 

[sweep_shot]

110 runs are needed from 11 overs.

 

[Energy]

With less selfish intent hopefully.

At least he can hold the bat. And doesn't make himself look like a kitty's cafe on the field.

Same can't be said about some others in the team.

He is the reason for our decline

 

[sweep_shot]

104 runs are needed from the final 10 overs.

Unlikely.

 

[Hextro]

Why are people extra cranky today? I've just started watching the match and Pakistan's first innings total looks decent. Looks like Rizwan carried Pakistan's batting lineup like he does almost every match.

 

[atomberg]

Much better than selling himself for some money, no?

 

[Rana]

104 runs are needed from the final 10 overs.

Unlikely.

Relax

Bd have a chance

 

[jnaveen1980]

Against top 8 sides

since 2021 January

Ireland 5.2 sixes per match
Afghanistan 5.2 sixes per match
Bangladesh 2.88 sixes per match

 

[Suleiman]

BD have the same runs we did at this stage, they very well can chase this down

Yup.

I think it has something to do with their physical features. Take a look at Afif. He just looks malnourished.

Batters need to bulk up.

Yeah lets hope New Zealand also play like Bangladesh and Rizwan hits 50 again.

 

[atomberg]

Yup.

Batters need to bulk up.

He can clear the boundary easily though.

 

[jnaveen1980]

They can't hit spin, Can't hit pace. lol What are they waiting for

 

[sweep_shot]

Back to back boundaries.

95 are needed from 55.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Yup.

I think it has something to do with their physical features. Take a look at Afif. He just looks malnourished.

High time scout for such power hitters. You need six hitting ability in T20 to turn the games around. pull off miracles. For many teams even from this position this target is gettable.

Rizwan says hi.

 

[Farabi]

Bangladesh staying in the game

 

[Coolcapri]

Why Nawaz bowling in leg stump

 

[sweep_shot]

Six.

86 are needed from 52.

Six hitting is overrated, idea is to go 10 run per over, specially on these big ground. Place in the gaps to score boundaries, run hard, convert 1s to 2s.

 

[Rana]

BD neck and neck

This game can go to the wire

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is the power of six. one six can drastically bring down the asking rate

 

[jnaveen1980]

Not over rated lol Tell that to Miller. Good fielding side can easily choke you by bowling on one side.

 

[daytrader]

Yeah lets hope New Zealand also play like Bangladesh and Rizwan hits 50 again.

He's hitting 50's against everybody

 

[Coolcapri]

BD betting smartly... Pak need to break this partnership.

 

[Rana]

Who did the overthrow?

 

[Coolcapri]

Babar should be pro active in bring back pacer from one end.

 

[Rana]

This is the power of six. one six can drastically bring down the asking rate

Aik chutki chakke ki sindoor tum kya jaano Ramesh babu

 

[JibranAnsari]

BD en route to victory

 

[pakpassfan]

BD en route to victory

You must be joking

 

[sweep_shot]

84 are needed from 8 overs.

Plenty of wickets in hand.

 

[Rana]

Afif needs to go here

 

[Suleiman]

Babar’s fielding going from bad to worse

 

[jnaveen1980]

Average review

 

[Farabi]

Not over rated lol Tell that to Miller. Good fielding side can easily choke you by bowling on one side.

Australia won’t have 55m boundaries, and bowlers won’t be Harshal Patel. There’s more than 1 way to score at high SR.

 

[Coolcapri]

Such a great outfield but still pack didn't 2 miss field in this over.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rauf is hard to score against. They have to make the most here if they want to win.

 

[Hextro]

Yeah lets hope New Zealand also play like Bangladesh and Rizwan hits 50 again.

Rizwan hits a fifty almost every match irrespective of the opposition.

 

[Suleiman]

Part of me wants us to lose if it means we’re going to change our batting strategy. If not, then I’d rather win.

 

[Kianig89]

who will light up the TriSeries

 

[Justcrazy]

Bangladesh need 82 runs in 47 balls.

 

[Rana]

Squarer sweeps now Liton

 

[imshally81]

Out

 

[sweep_shot]

Two poor reviews from Pakistan. Both looked not out.

 

[Coolcapri]

Part of me wants us to lose if it means we’re going to change our batting strategy. If not, then I’d rather win.

They not gonna change anything.

 

[Savak]

Pakistan's fielding coach needs to be sacked. Way too many fumbles, dropped catches, easy singles in the circle, overthrows in the past few games. You can't beat top sides like this.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Australia won’t have 55m boundaries, and bowlers won’t be Harshal Patel. There’s more than 1 way to score at high SR.

You will have to pull off a near perfect game every single time to do that.

 

[Rana]

Good catch

 

[sweep_shot]

Liton is out.

Big blow for BD.

 

[Mean&Green]

I don’t know what’s worse the cameras or the cricket quality

 

[Dr_Bassim]

He's hitting 50's against everybody

Which is why he will play a defining knock soon to help Pakistan clinch a tournament.

 

[Kianig89]

RRR hovering over 10

 

[Rana]

They not gonna change anything.

Exactly

Din
Raat
Sardi
Garmi

 

[Coolcapri]

Out lucky wicket

 

[Coolcapri]

Thats the timely wicket.

 

[imshally81]

Another gone

 

[Justcrazy]

Against better teams this total will be cakewalk.

 

[Ahmed216]

Which is why he will play a defining knock soon to help Pakistan clinch a tournament.

Tournaments are won by teams not individuals

 

[Rana]

That was out

Poor review by Bd

 

[Nasty Naz]

Wow, brilliant catch from Haider.

Something positive to say about the fielding for once.

 

[imshally81]

Review lost

 

[Coolcapri]

What is wrong with Shadab, Looks very off color today, Playing like its a practice match. (not a intl t20)

 

[JilaWatan]

Against better teams this total will be cakewalk.

Yeah we know. We're not playing them right now are we?

 

[sweep_shot]

That was out

Poor review by Bd

Yup.

Poor review.

 

[Coolcapri]

BD middle order playing like Pak middle order.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Part of me wants us to lose if it means we’re going to change our batting strategy. If not, then I’d rather win.

We wont change our batting strategy if we had to chase 300 in 20 overs.

 

[Rana]

Need a boundary to salvage the over

 

[Kianig89]

BD are done and dusted

 

[Rana]

Afif needs to make it count now

Game can still be won

 

[sweep_shot]

76 runs are needed from 7 overs.

 

[Ahmed216]

Good contest between two evenly matched sides. The quality of cricket may be low but a competitive game

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Tournaments are won by teams not individuals

Well at least perform in a critical match.

Ill take that.

 

[Rana]

4 overs from Dahani and Wasim

Target 50 in those

 

[Farabi]

You will have to pull off a near perfect game every single time to do that.

The contrary. Playing in gaps and great strike rotation is the consistent way to score at high SR. England chased down 170/2 in less than 15 overs vs Pak. Only 4 6s in that massacre. 26 4s placing in gaps and rest amazing strike rotation.

 

[Coolcapri]

Nice shot by Afif.

 

[daytrader]

Which is why he will play a defining knock soon to help Pakistan clinch a tournament.

It's unfair criticism of our top performer. We haven't won many tournaments in our 70 years cricketing history so why blame only one guy?

 

[Rana]

Good contest between two evenly matched sides. The quality of cricket may be low but a competitive game

We have the world no.1 and no.3 batsmen

Do BD have top ranked players in their XI?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Does BD have batting depth? or is this the last recognized pair?

 

[Kianig89]

8* of 5 & 25/2 Nawaz for MOTM
