Pakistan are favorites but Bangladesh have given the bowlers something to defend.

 

[Champ_Pal]

BD bowling is trash. Expect Rizwan to score a century.

 

[jattafridi]

Target 174

Easy for Babar and Rizwan

 

[JibranAnsari]

Bagladesh favorites to win this one

 

[jnaveen1980]

Last over wasted. This is why having a solid finisher is must.

Yup. 185 could've been handy.

They should've reached 180 at least (after being 170/4 from 19 overs).

 

[Kianig89]

This is the WC final like for Pakistan, catch 22 for Saqlain & Moyo, win and nobody cares its a dead rubber lose and knives will be out that BD defeated us

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Pakistan to win it.

Tailor made for our openers to score 50s and maintain their rankings.

 

[Colorblind Genius]

same old junk is what we are going to see here.

Pak batsmen either try to hit too hard and give easy wickets or they are still under confident and will create a self imposed pressure for no reason.

Shan Masood will play a selfish slow innings, most likely.

So what's new here?

 

[Mas-LFC]

Liton Das and Shakib made this possible. Quality innings by both. BD 5-8 is nonexistent when it matters. Sabbir Rahman should be 6-7, that’s his position.

Still decent total. BD bowling is wayward. Pakistan top two in form. Should be interesting!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Bdeshis bros looking confident

They should've sent in Yasir ahead of Afif. That was a blunder.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Proper weak effort by number 5-8. Afif some village gangster with that style tries to muscle it when he is a skeleton, never timed a shot for six. This Yasir Ali is not it, scored a knock other day when match was lost. Yes he is still new, but that was half hearted shot. New or old, last over you just swing as hard! Nurul another who does well when the team collapses and gives him time to play in. Useless.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Chacha ifti should open with babar, rizwan to follow this is the best way we can save atleast 4-5 overs.

Yasir played a good knock in South Africa too (good strike rate). He can hit well.

 

[Suleiman]

Bdeshis bros looking confident

B Bros should’ve gone to 180 at least. This total may not be enough with this lollipop attack.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD are playing 4 pacers today. I think they should've had one more spinner.

 

[Ahmed216]

They need to get Babar and Rizwan early and we won’t score more than 100. Hopefully

 

[Mas-LFC]

Pakistan will win it. Make no doubt about that. Pitch is still good. BD bowling is not disciplined. BD has ways to lose matches from winning positions too.

 

[Suleiman]

Phew… no maiden this time

 

[Zeshan547]

Typical Pakistani start unless bowler gift 9 wides like that Lankan dude.

 

[pratiktc]

Pak should ice this chase. Enough weak link bowlers to target.
Might be good to promote Asif/Haider at 3 to get some time in middle.

 

[AAli98]

Paks tail starts at 3 these 2 should go along at 7rpo & unleash later on

 

[Suleiman]

NZ commentator saying what we’ve all been saying… Pakistan the only one doing it the old fashioned way batting wise.

 

[sweep_shot]

Good start from BD. Tight first over.

Pakistan - 3/0 (1 over; target: 174).

 

[Kianig89]

All depends on RizBar harsh truth

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Old is gold

 

[Mas-LFC]

Yasir played a good knock in South Africa too (good strike rate). He can hit well.

Was that in a match when mattered? I can excuse him as it was last over. But Afif needs to take a deep look at himself away from asian in sena conditions. the way he huffed and puffed didn’t score a decent knock even when its all lost. Even Yasir did have a knock. Sabbir has 100 in NZ, 50 in Aus. I’d not give up on Sabbir but only bats 5-7.

Yes. 1st ODI against South Africa.

Yasir and Shakib counterattacked. BD won that game.

I think Yasir should be given a lengthy go.

 

[saabir]

Well played birthday boy . Another classy inning from the Bangladesh best batsman. He and Shakib will be the key for BG in WC. I remember his hundred against India i was in the stadium watching live , it was his best inning. Although BG lost that match but he looked class apart from the rest.

 

[imshally81]

5 dots in a row

 

[JilaWatan]

Babar azam is tailor made for 1 down. And Rizwan 2 down.

 

[Snowflake]

Not even trying

 

[imshally81]

4444

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shoriful is from the same under-19 batch as kartik tyagi, bishnoi, rohail nazir.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

No boundaries in first 2 overs. Pathetic start by world best players!

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan - 6/0 (2 overs; target: 174).

Slow start from Pakistan.

 

[Xoib]

Babar is clearly out of form the amount of times he has played chipped shots in the circle since Asia cup is unusual usually he just times them along the ground

 

[jnaveen1980]

You need two close in fielder infront of the stumps on the on side for Babar. He often chips the ball in the air there. bit like Labuchane

 

[Mas-LFC]

Nice placement. This what Soumya and shanto needs to learn from Rizwan. You don’t need to go gungho all gunz blazing, place it into gaps, play along the carpet!

 

[Nasty Naz]

Hard to fathom how a team can bat so meekly and with such lack of intent with chasing 170+.

 

[Snowflake]

Not one aerial shot

 

[shah_1]

Loser team with loser minnow mindset

Liton Das is classy batsman. For me should be the future captain all formats as he is a regular in the side and scores regularly…

 

[Kianig89]

Cautious start

 

[Ahmed216]

Babar is clearly out of form the amount of times he has played chipped shots in the circle since Asia cup is unusual usually he just times them along the ground

He's under pressure to retain his opening spot thats why he is trying new things. He has seen openers from other teams play lofted shots. Sad that our best batsman cannot play at any other position in this format

 

[jnaveen1980]

13/0 in 3

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

zzzzzzZzzzzzzz....

 

[Suleiman]

Both these guys opening together should be a federal crime. It’s so redundant. Pile on the pressure and then blame rest of the batting order.

3 overs wasted. Power play should be the easiest period to bat if the ball isn’t moving like a banana.

 

[Kianig89]

PP being wasted as usual

 

[Raja111]

Pakistan should have tried a new opening pair in a dead rubber

 

[JilaWatan]

How are these not showing any intent?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Amazing batting for the first morning of a test match

 

[TimOCruz]

Rizwan looks like he's limping. I have no idea why he's playing right now

 

[Nasty Naz]

13 runs after 3 chasing 174.

People always say Pakistan needs to play more Test matches.

 

[imshally81]

Babar joins the party

444

 

[Kianig89]

Moyo n Saqlain still living in 90s

 

[jnaveen1980]

Babar is atleast good to watch. Riz not so much. Effective though. Bit like Collingwood

 

[shah_1]

I hope Shadab or Shaheen get to captain Pakistan. Babar is a meek character

 

[Xoib]

He's under pressure to retain his opening spot thats why he is trying new things. He has seen openers from other teams play lofted shots. Sad that our best batsman cannot play at any other position in this format

He is under no pressure for his position he is just not timing that well hence going with hard hands leading to chip shots

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan - 13/0 (3 overs; target: 174).

 

[imshally81]

Back to back boundaries by Babar

 

[jnaveen1980]

Taskin is not sticking to basics

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ungetouttable switch turned on.

 

[sweep_shot]

Back to back boundaries.

 

[Ahmed216]

He is under no pressure for his position he is just not timing that well hence going with hard hands leading to chip shots

I've noticed he's been trying aerial shots after they were heavily criticised for low SR during Asia cup.

 

[imshally81]

10 runs in last over

 

[jnaveen1980]

Taskin has wheels. So he should stick to hard length

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan - 23/0 (4 overs; target: 174).

Good over for Pakistan. 10 from it.

 

[Suleiman]

I hope Shadab or Shaheen get to captain Pakistan. Babar is a meek character

Babar isn’t captaincy material at all. Same overly cautious defensive captaincy. Being left behind in the dust by the rest of the top teams on strategy and execution.

 

[Snowflake]

Under run a ball in power play

 

[Zeshan547]

breath taking start, Oh God are we such a bad people that we deserve this torture.

 

[jnaveen1980]

What happened to Miraz?

 

[Kianig89]

old school way middle order already under pressure without facing a delivery

 

[Snowflake]

10 runs in last over

Two 4s and they end up scoring only 10 in the entire over. This is the problem with these two

 

[Ahmed216]

He is under no pressure for his position he is just not timing that well hence going with hard hands leading to chip shots

Pak team does need an opener who can make better use of PP. but babar cant bat at 3 sadly

 

[Kianig89]

How dumb are they

 

[imshally81]

Back to back boundaries again by babar

 

[Nasty Naz]

Who knew Tests were played in coloured jerseys.
