[adi_6294]

I am pretty confident for pakistan to win it from here.
Our bowling will bowl them out.
How many of you think.
I assume BD total will be between 190-215...
predict your scores

 

[Foozee]

me

 

[90MPH]

Not me.

Bangla are favourites - this score is 50 runs short.

It's a pressure game so who knows if Bangladesh may fold but most of thier batsmen are in good form.

 

[Britstani]

We might be confident...but looks like our players are not.

 

[Maher96]

easy win, its only bangladesh no disrespect but we will probably win by a good margin.

 

[velu]

kind of bowling pak has , should be easy task to KO Bangla .. :jinx :jinx

 

[IAJ]

Pakistan will inshaAllah win it.

Bangladesh won't even make 200.

 

[lilFlip]

it will be a tough one. We need to get Tamim early and control Nasir/Shakib. Target BD: 210 all-out

 

[Legend Killer]

InshaAllah it will be an easy win for us

 

[insaftak]

We have got this.

Bangladesh will crumble

 

[Ahson8]

Insha Allah we'll win

 

[MajidBhuta-AamirFan]

Pakistan can win if the field well

 

[aneeqsultan]

bangladesh all out less than 100..INSHALLAH...

 

[Foozee]

Misbah knows Bangla well.. minnow tactician basher... he'll win this

 

[Alamgeer]

will win it easily InshaAllah.

Bangladesh v Pakistan | Asia Cup Final | Dhaka | Mar 22, 2012 | Bangladesh Innings

237 to get in 50 overs - Can Pakistan do this?

 

[wick94]

Pakistan, ajmal!

 

[Hassan0987]

Early wickets are the key, if we can get Tamim out first up, Bangladesh will be under pressure, also Misbah must be smart and have attacking fields

 

[pakpassfan]

have to take 2 early wickets one of them should be tamim

then its gona be a easy win

 

[Britstani]

well its down to ajmal again i guess

 

[lilFlip]

Target: Tamim

 

[Hassan0987]

I am confident

 

[Legend Killer]

Need to get Tamim early cause once he goes all the pressure will be on the middle order and InshaAllah they will crumble

 

[lilFlip]

Early wickets are the key, if we can get Tamim out first up, Bangladesh will be under pressure, also Misbah must be smart and have attacking fields

that won't happen

 

[duostyle]

This being their first final, here's hoping they fold under pressure - but we really need those early wickets from Prof and Gul.

 

[imshally81]

i m with you....

 

[Alamgeer]

Pacers need to get us 2 or 3 early wickets only then ajmal and co can do some miracle.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Inshallah Bangladesh will give it their best, win or lose I am with them for their effort
except for shahadat

 

[Shadow_786]

This is just not like Bangladesh batting very good through out the Asia Cup.
Mark my words Bangladesh all out before 170

 

[Saurav]

20 runs atleast too many. will be too hot to handle.I see them 180 all out

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

I don't think they can cope with the pressure.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Didn't see the first inns, did Bangla bowl well or were we lazy?

And we will need early wickets to put em under pressure, remember Bangla have never played in final before, this is the biggest match they have played in.

 

[lilFlip]

20 runs atleast too many. will be too hot to handle.I see them 180 all out

they are not that Bangladesh anymore. They will put on a hard fight. But Pak will prevail Insha'Allah

 

[Hassan0987]

that won't happen

One can hope

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Off to work folks, Allah bless our team

 

[dhump]

INSHALLAH Pakistan can win this .

 

[pakpassfan]

20 runs atleast too many. will be too hot to handle.I see them 180 all out

good call...one early wicket of tamim and its inexperience that will defeat bangla

 

[Amjid Javed]

Thankfully our bowling is our strong point.

We need Gul and Ajmal to fire and win us the game, we have runs on the board to defend.

 

[Rizwan25]

Khaa badami mazaaa awaaami

 

[Sherazkhalid]

BD made around this much last time they played against us, so this is within their reach. Need Gul to bowl another splendid spell.

 

[Hassan0987]

I think Misbah should give Hafeez 10 overs upfront, take Tamim's wicket and contain Bangladesh, early pressure is important

 

[KingKhanWC]

Chasing in a final brings added pressure, put another 20 runs on the total.

The ball seems to come on better under lights but it will be a tough chase for Bangladesh. If Tamim fails they will struggle, if he plays a blinder they have a chance.

60/40 Pakistan.

 

[Sunny786]

PAKISTAN IS GONNA WIN!

 

[cricketpassion]

Pak will Win Inshallah

 

[Itachi]

Bangla will chase this in 46.4 overs with 7 wickets down.... ajmal 4 wickets.

 

[Strike!]

Bangladesh will chase it down easily.

 

[liaqat]

the start is obvioulsy crutial but tamim scores that will give bangla the start they need ,

i feel bangla have the edge ,

 

[pakpassfan]

Bangladesh will chase it down easily.

good good jinx it

 

[lahoriyah1234]

bangla is going down boys....get readdddy for pakistan bowling....bangla are not good when chasing under pressure. we will see how good bangla realy is.. if chased down and won then good for the game of cricket because cricket need good teams...

 

[Hassan0987]

Hafeez to bowl first over

 

[AZulfi]

236 is a below-par total

I feel that Pakistan will have to bowl BD out to win. would be extremely difficult to defend this modest score.

We all like to slate (and not without good reason) Misbah for his apparent inability to rotate the strike but what about Afridi? He just never takes responsibility or learns from his mistakes. Afridi just can't resist the temptation to play unnecessary airy shots. That is his undoing in almost every game!

Today Afridi looked in reasonably good nick and knowing very well that there're no batters left after him, he should have looked to play along the ground and & bat out the 50 overs and we might even have reached 260+/- (judging by how well the tail wagged today). But no he still got out in predictable fashion

Odds favour a BD win

 

[Sherazkhalid]

What time the chase starts in GMT?

 

[Saurav]

they are not that Bangladesh anymore. They will put on a hard fight. But Pak will prevail Insha'Allah

first big final.that too in front of home crowds.pressure will be too much

 

[KingKhanWC]

Pakistan will run through them quickly.

 

[Iffitheking]

I am still

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Good bowling this by Hafeez, tamim off the mark

 

[Areesh]

I am confident.

 

[Hassan0987]

2 runs of the over

 

[ads101]

I wouldn't open with Hafeez. Hit bangladesh with pace early on. Then turn to the spinners when the wickets are tumbling and runs are choking. Our pacers have tended to bowl well against Bangladesh so I'd try them both with the new ball.

 

[NJamal]

2/0 after 1 over

 

[lahoriyah1234]

pakistan need to take misbah out of the team asap. Afridi shoud be made captain along side hafeez vc. time for younis and misbah to stick to test teams. i dont wana see these 2 players again please. time for asad, umar, hamaad, azhar ali to come into the odi set up.

 

[Itachi]

Not me.

Bangla are favourites - this score is 50 runs short.

It's a pressure game so who knows if Bangladesh may fold but most of thier batsmen are in good form.

agreed....

 

[dhump]

this ball from gul went for extra 4 in india game.

 

[Hassan0987]

Almost got him bowled

 

[pakpassfan]

it'll be a easy win for Pakistan

 

[MoinHaroon]

Bowl tight and we will win, I think we are 15 runs short

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Gul getting the ball to seam around

 

[Phool]

first ten overs will we crucial for both teams! so far good bowling by Pakistan
Gul has beaten nazim on the first three balls fo this over

 

[saad1024]

Me. Lala means business today

 

[MoinHaroon]

Outside off and he will edge

 

[ads101]

Is cheema an old ball specialist really? Thought he was suited to the new ball. Isn't it worth trying him out opening with the new ball?

 

[dhump]

Nazimuddin living on his luck.

 

[MoinHaroon]

Don't take Hafeez out Misbah like you did in India game stupid

 

[Hassan0987]

5 dot balls so far

 

[Hamxa89]

Any reason why Gul wasn't cowling this line against India??

 

[dhump]

chal beta last ball par wicket day.

 

[MoinHaroon]

Yorker

 

[KingKhanWC]

This is the time to bring on Cheema now, the ball is talking. Will he keep Hafeez on?

 

[lilFlip]

Message to openers from coach

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Good maiden over there
