Pakistan [301/6] defeat Bangladesh [224] in the final to win ACC Emerging Teams Asia Cup 2019

[MenInG]

Both teams look supremely confident (Pakistan possibly a little wary after a close call with India) - so who will will this game?

 

[MenInG]

 

[Relic]

Bangladesh have their top players playing. They even have Sarkar there lol. So they're definitely the favourites

 

[Professor]

Bangladesh has Sarkar who has played over 100 international matches and they have at least five other players who have recently played international cricket. On paper this should probably be a easy BD win but you never know.

 

[Slim]

Pakistan to win easily.

 

[Hyperion66]

BD is clear favs but Pak has a decent chance too, Soumya and Shanto are due a failure.

 

[fluke]

where will this match be live streamed and what are the timings for this game?

 

[Syed1]

BD are playing their first eleven, while Pakistan is playing kids barely out of school. Easy win for BD international team.

What? Only Soumya Sarkar has played more than 7-8 international games.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD are favorites because it is a home game for them. Also, some of the BD players have international experience.

It should be a good game.

[Boi]

Saud needs to turn up and fire in the final. Need him to perform so that he can replace Haris soon.

Hope we have some consolation tomorrow after such a diappointed performances by our team against Australia.

Absurd statement. Sarkar is the only well known international player in the Ban squad. The rest wouldnt be close to the first choice Ban international xi.

Whereas, our squad has most of he players that are in and around the international xi.

 

[Dios]

Bangladesh should destroy Pakistan.

Bangladesh's bowling attack is completely unknown. Shoriful Islam and Mrittunjoy Chowdhury should have been playing in this series but they were picked for the U19 series instead. Regardless, should be an easy win for Bangladesh.

 

[MMHS]

I am eagerly waiting for this game- the Sr teams of both finalists are going through some rough treatments at the hand of their hosts, therefore this game is like a breathing space.

Our squad is quite settled, only thing I didn’t like is 1-5 lefti!!!! Don’t think they are going to change the starting XI from SF, though I would love to see the Leggi Afridi.

 

[Abdullah719]

Toss in around half an hour. Broadcast on Star Sports 2.

Nice joke

 

[Captain caveman]

Is this going to be shown on uk tv?

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Somehow Bangladesh made the finals, best of the luck to brother Soumya

 

[Abdullah719]

Bangladesh win the toss and opt to field.

[Shafi]

Omair again??? Its not a test match

 

[Shafi]

As usual this Omair wasted a full over? Why PCB selected a test player in ODI

 

[Square Drive]

Omair again??? Its not a test match

Oh gosh, Shafi again??

Time to move on from this thread.

 

[Shafi]

Oh gosh, Shafi again??

I said the guy is killing the momentum. Should rotate strike at least

 

[Abdullah719]

Omair out.

Didn't look happy with the decision, says it hit his sleeve, not bat. Didn't look comfortable against the lateral movement, though.

 

[Titan24]

Poor decision from the umpire, it didnt hit his bat rather right arm

 

[Shafi]

Thanks God!!! Wasting too many balls

 

[Abdullah719]

Guys, no links

Match is live on Star Sports 2 and Hotstar.

 

[Titan24]

Haider Ali is some talent.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

How are the Bangladeshi bowlers? Any potential

Sumon Khan looks good, has decent pace and out swing with the new ball too though needs to work on his accuracy.

 

[Titan24]

Haider Ali was looking really good, bit of a loose shot there.

 

[m.shah]

Haider Ali gone.

 

[saeed5646]

look at the celebration )

 

[Abdullah719]

Imran Rafiq is playing? Wasn't in the listed lineup... that means we're playing 4 bowlers again

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Where are you guys watching it?

Thanks brother

Me watching this match is as good as Sheikh Hasina watching our Tigers getting humiliated at Eden Gardens

Leggy Asad might not be playing and Khusdil along with Badar and Shakeel will fill the quota of those 10 overs.

 

[Abdullah719]

Leggy Asad might not be playing and Khusdil along with Badar and Shakeel will fill the quota of those 10 overs.

Yes, that seems to be the case. It's a defensive move.

Saud wasn't in good form so he's batting at 5 now and everyone else pushes down one slot.

If they wanted to play an additional batsman, they should have gone with Hasan Mohsin who seems to be a better LOI option than Imran Rafiq. He can bowl as well, so he could help that 5th bowler quota. But Saud should have stayed at 4.

Meanwhile, we're getting tied up by the spinners.

 

[Abdullah719]

Imran Rafiq is killing the innings here.

 

[Abdullah719]

56 dots in 13 overs.

 

[Darkrai]

Seems like we've got some mini Ahmed Shehzads.

 

[moghul]

Out field does not look to be of first class standard.

 

[moghul]

As per cricinfo its Saud Shakeel and not Imran Rafique batting .

 

[BDfanforever]

Catch dropped by yasir ali.

 

[Abdullah719]

As per cricinfo its Saud Shakeel and not Imran Rafique batting .

Incorrect.

 

[Abdullah719]

Do they realise it's not a Test match

 

[m.shah]

Pitch is turning. Imran Rafiq is a terrible batsman.

 

[saeed5646]

Do they realise it's not a Test match

turning by miles .no way near flat wicket

 

[Abdullah719]

turning by miles .no way near flat wicket

Correct, but Imran Rafiq is showing no intent, playing dot after dot. He isn't even trying to rotate strike... His last boundary was via an edge otherwise his SR would be even worse.

With Khushdil at 7, the batting is really deep today.

 

[Darkrai]

So far in every match they have had dot ball issues. This is the time for them to sort out these issues before it becomes a big problem for them later on, like most Pakistani batsmen. I wonder if the coaches even realize this.

 

[saeed5646]

agree with that .imran rafiq batting very slowly

 

[Shafi]

Our coaches never tell our batsmen to rotate strike. So incompetent

 

[Shafi]

agree with that .imran rafiq batting very slowly

Omair was the worse. Future dot kings

 

[mastermind_quad]

Indian team didn't reach final. BCCI didn't send any team to this competition ??

My bad just checked India lost Pakistan in semifinal..

 

[Shafi]

Both Rafiq and Omair are the poor selection and should never be consider for ODI

 

[saeed5646]

never seen such a terrible inning .Pathetic batting from rafiq

 

[Abdullah719]

Four for Imran Rafiq

 

[TeamPak95]

never seen such a terrible inning .Pathetic batting from rafiq

You were saying ?

 

[Titan24]

250 odd would be a good score here considering the conditions.

 

[Abdullah719]

You were saying ?

16 off his last 9 balls

 

[saeed5646]

You were saying ?

he has woken up a bit rotation of strike is terrible

 

[BDfanforever]

No speed gun.

 

[Titan24]

I agree, Hassan Mohsin deserved a go.

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

Any link to scorecard?

 

[angrypathan]

Someone end this misery

 

[Titan24]

No speed gun.

No. I think Sumon Khan was bowling decent pace, probably high 130s or touching 140s.

 

[BakuGM]

Cricinfo has it

 

[Bleedgreen4ever]

Current score

 

[Titan24]

Current score

Pak 110/2 after 25 overs.

 

[TeamPak95]

Yeah, can't deny that. If batsmen are not scoring boundaries, then at least get the scoreboard ticking with singles and twos.

 

[Darkrai]

typical Pakistani batting.

 

[Boi]

The crybabies on here at it again.

This is a solid platform to build on now. Hopefully they can get up to 275.
