Pakistan [342/8] beat Bangladesh [341/7] by two wickets in the ICC Champions Trophy warm-up

[BDwarriors]

Pak should be worried about their batting but its always good to get confidence by winning a warm up match. Mortaza cost us again a match....

7 out of the last 8 innings in England has resulted in a team scoring over 300+.

Don't worry, this is just a preview of the smashing other teams will get from Pakistan in upcoming CT.

I was die-hard Pakistani fan from my childhood! I followed every single game of cricket played by pakistan!! I still remember a warmup match where pakistan chased a mammoth total of 350 or something like that back in 2006 against India special thanks to Toufeeq Umar's great innings!! But later ODI series was lost!!! Before 2015 world cup Bangladesh went to NZL-Aus two week earlier, they lost all the practise matches against local sides but did well in main competition!! Same thing Pakistan did well in warmips last time before champions trophy but didn't do well in main tournaments!! To me warm ups mean nothing!!
It will be nice, if we can do well where it matters!! It's may seems as an excuse but all the opponents are too strong!! Hope we can do well there!!!

You are right.In practice match a team should just practice and give more chances to those players whom they think to be the weak link of their main eleven without much thinking of the end result.Main tournament will be different than the scenario of practice match.

Perhaps its also wise not to get to excited about a practise match. Especially when only one team has batted...

BD are still minnows in cricket and their fans don't have the right to say that our team have fallen in the minnow country just because of the blunder of appointing Azhar as ODI captain. Both Pak and SL should leapfrog BD and leave them behind in the wilderness of 8-9th ranking niche where they usually belong. This victory goes to show that the quality of cricketers produced in Pak domestic cricket is miles ahead compared to the ones produced in BD.

Ha Ha Ha Typical Pakistani logic!! Pakistan is full of talented players!!! That's why the same TTF are getting chance again & again!!! You won't see this joke in any other country!!! Pak fans are saying from 2015!!! That BD will fall but it's not happened yet!! Babgladeshi cricketing Authority & Incrustature is way better than pak now!! If pak don't change their administration & domestic standard of cricket, I am afraid they won't do well in future!! As a long cricketing traditional country pak shouldn't think about fighting for 7th or 8th place or shouldn't think about to go over Bangladesh!!! They should target top spot or top level!!!

Looks like some of the Pakistani fans have taken yesterday's unimportant match way too seriously. Can't believe ppl r celebrating that fluke 8th wicket partnership which they'll never be able to replicate in the future.


Bangladesh took yesterday's match as a simple practice match which is why they allowed spinners to operate in the final overs just to see how they perform in the death overs. For the very same reason Bangladesh played bowlers like sunzamul, taskin and shafiul who won't get a single match in the main event.


But yes I can understand the reasons behind this enthusiasm though. Winning against a 6th rank team is definitely a great achievement for a 8th ranked team. Congratulations.

 

[squarecut]

93 needed in 7 overs with just two wickets remaining ! It takes a special effort for the fielding side to lose from a position like this. And Bangladesh demonstrated how to snatch defeat from an almost unloseable position. Kudos !

Why you even screaming for? Everyone knows that a Pak team lead by Sarfraz will trounce BD easy. Our infrastructure will hopefully improve in the future but the main thing is that the PSL is churning out some good talent which is way better than the BPL which I feel is a borderline flop. We're definitely going to grab the 6th spot from BD back, I don't see them becoming a cricketing force. I remember one time they were ranked 3rd or 4th in T20's for a brief moment only to be brought all the way down again.

We don't spread hatred towards Bangladesh, we just don't like their reactions most of the time when it comes to wins and losses. A lot of them overrate their team to such an extent as if they've got trophies in their cupboard. A good example was when one BD fan was crying over the fact that Dawlat Zadran sledged Shakib and this was only done to make the batsman play a wrong shot to get out. Most of the BD fans started insulting Afghanistan for their political problems. Very petty this is.

Remember how in the 2016 T20 WC the BD batsmen were already doing victory celebrations against India only to bottle it in the last over. That was epic.

I think BD have snatched the chokers crown from SA.

Pakistan fans threw stones towards the opposition players in the past, Indian fans used to throw bottles towards the playing ground and used to burn plackerds in the stadium. Recently 40/50 Indian and Pakistani Fans got involved in a fist fight in a foreign country over a cricket match. I see mud slinging between Indian and Pakistani Fans on a daily basis on social media.

What's ur point?

Seriously guys taking a practice game so seriously?

We bowled spinners at the death overs. Our two death bowlers fizz and Rubel where in the bench.

Taking a practice match result seriously is useless. Believe me, Bangladesh lost to Ireland in the practice match before the 2015 world cup. But Bangladesh performed in the group stages. It was a different story for both teams from there onwards.

Like I always maintained, don't let practice match performance fool you or anything. It was just a practice match. It doesn't count for anything. If the boys got adjusted the condition then it's a win for us.

Ireland performed pretty well in WC2015.

I am not surprised that Pakistan won the game in the end, but, Bangladesh scoring 340+ against the "bowling powerhouse" is a bit surprising.

 

[BDwarriors]

Wow , so many post for winning a "warm up" matches against the team which most fans considers as minniow team.

The thing is pakistan should be more worried about how their "batsman" played the match and not be satisfied about the result which was contributed by a tailenders. There are more space of worry in the room rather than joy.

Its all fun and banter at the end of the day. Don't take it too personally. Most Pakistan fans are happy for Bangladesh improving in the past few years.

These pundits care so much about winning and not actually practice

I agree, the winning team should always be more worried about its chances than a losing team.bengali team shouldn't worry too much about it even though they lost the match from a point most teams would have won.

Pakistan isn't bowling powerhouse anymore, but yes they would do far better if they play aamer and abbas in place of Wahab and Junaid.bengalis loosing the match from a winning position was indeed surprising, don't think Pak would have done it against many other teams like this.

If memory serves me right then Pak fans tend to be the most sensible ones. You may get the odd dumb fan who says or does things that he shouldn't be doing but they're not as bad as other fans.
