Rashid Khan stars as Afghanistan [255/7] outclass Bangladesh [119] by 136 runs

[troodon]

Poor Athar.

 

[troodon]

250 on the cards?

 

[MMHS]

AFG's have crossed the critical mark - they are favorite now, considering that they are in a roll.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Afg winning it by 100 runs.

 

[Syed1]

AFG's have crossed the critical mark - they are favorite now, considering that they are in a roll.

Maybe "experts" on here can write long novels for Bangladeshi captain as well and how he let Afghanistan score this many after they were 7 down for no score.

 

[Mainul]

Bangladesh has given away all the advantages to AFG now.Poor,can't clean up Afgan tail.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Mashrafe is to blame. Should have bowled spinners instead of himself and Rubel. Afghans were struggling against finger spinners.

Rashid is a very handy lower order bat. Have seen him IPL also where he came in and scored valuable runs for SRH.

 

[BlackShadow]

IPL boy doing it for Afgans!

 

[Plumb]

Brilliant from Rashid and Afg.

Bangla will definitely struggle chasing this score

 

[MMHS]

This is why I never liked Mash to play today - eventually, he ends up sweating for 8 overs and stay whole time in field, AFGs are posting a winning total and tomorrow half of BD team will be struggling for breather from start.

Unless they carry forward points, this format is use less.

 

[BlackShadow]

Mortaza being murdered by Rashid here !

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Apparently today is rashid's 20th birthday. More like 28th but still well birthday boy.

 

[Josh]

Haha Rashid is the real Pathan ! Brilliant innings

 

[BlackShadow]

57 of 32 balls, Rashid Khan.. take a bow!

 

[Zeeraq]

Afghanistan finished their inning at 255-7, 256 runs target to chase for Bangladesh to win this match.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Nice Rashid. Entertained along with Naib. Amazing finish to the inning.

 

[troodon]

Specialist Captain Mashrafe got a phainty by Rashid Khan.

 

[RamLakhan]

Have to say Afghanistan are on the course to become strong cricket team. They look like making quicker progress compared to Bangladesh/Ireland! Hong Kong is a volatile team, the migrants can go missing any time or themselves may get disinterested/disintegrated.

 

[cricketindiafan]

Brutal assault in last 10 overs. Chasing 255 vs Afghan spinners will not be easy at all.

 

[troodon]

Russell Arnold has buffed up. He used to be a tooth pick during his playing days.

 

[Lion of Khyber]

Rashid was opener at both u17 and the start of his u19, and top order batsman in domestic matches.

 

[MMHS]

Maybe "experts" on here can write long novels for Bangladeshi captain as well and how he let Afghanistan score this many after they were 7 down for no score.

I guess, you should have realized by now that I don't bother about responding your post, even if you tag me. Next is blocking you - don't force me to do that, it'll be embarrassing, for you.

Rashid played an exceptional innings, I doubt hardly any thing BD Captain could have done in last overs with his bowling options - may be he could have barked at few kids, but that doesn't represent a good show in front of global audience.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

It's afg's match to lose

 

[the_outsider]

AFG is winning this match.

 

[Ned Flanders]

Tomorrows match should be a cracker, can Pakistan handle Rashid?

 

[Plumb]

Afg batting lineup is deep and on a good day they can easily score 300. Great to see their hard work is paying off. They been playing brilliant cricket.

If I compare SL, Bangla rise from Minnow to test nation I say Afghanistan is the quickest to learn and show that they can compete with the big teams.

 

[MMHS]

AFG is winning this match.

We needed one man to score 144 to reach 262 against SRL, batting first - definitely they are winning this, with comfortable margin. 220 was probably the max. limit, but Rashid played a match winning innings here.

 

[knitin777]

IMO Afghan players speak better English than Pakistan players. Does Afghans have better education system? Clueless. Can anyone help me to understand?

 

[jnaveen1980]

What a player Rashid is. Dream player to have in your side. He also fields well.

Hahahah uncle shahab how will your blocking me be embarrassing for me, go ahead and block me I hardly ever read your long boring posts.... can't take a little criticism without getting personal? Chotay log

 

[troodon]

Have Afghans gone past the minnow category? They surely are not playing like minnows now.

Beating SRL and now putting up this performance against BD shows they are a team on their way up.

Loss of Tamim will hurt BD. I don't see any one outside of Mushfiq and may be Shakib who can score a 50. The rest look like bits and pieces players.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

They are very competitive against ODI teams ranked between 6-9, will not trouble PAK.

 

[MMHS]

Mushi isn't playing either today, but that's not the excuse to concede 85 in last 8 with 7 down.

 

[Syed1]

They are very competitive against ODI teams ranked between 6-9, will not trouble PAK.

I'm not too sure about that. When Kedar Jhadav can pick up 3 wickets then Rashid Khan would be licking his lips.



Afg are definitely a better side than minnows BD.

 

[troodon]

Mushi isn't playing either today, but that's not the excuse to concede 85 in last 8 with 7 down.

So no Mushfiq and no Tamim?

Extremely difficult then. May be this is the time someone will put their hand up and shine in BD team.

 

[Asif321]

Wow afghans to top the group

 

[Syed1]

del

 

[Pakpak]

I'm not too sure about that. When Kedar Jhadav can pick up 3 wickets then Rashid Khan would be licking his lips.



Afg are definitely a better side than minnows BD.

Have you seen Rashid Khan's picture? There is no way he's 20

 

[Hasan2K8]

poor bowling at the end. No idea why mash keeps trying himself at the death when he gets hit around easily, he should bowl out before 35 or 40th ov. Some really poor bowling all round last 10.

 

[Hasan2K8]

No Tamim, no mushy and no most important pacer The fizz .. Two making debut, one playing ODI after 3years. this is BD-B side.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Shouldn't have bowled himself and Rubel. Spin was working and mashrafe should have stuck to it.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

I'm not too sure about that. When Kedar Jhadav can pick up 3 wickets then Rashid Khan would be licking his lips.



Afg are definitely a better side than minnows BD.

Pakistan should wipe the floor with Afghanistan tmrw. They will be tired playing consecutive games.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Have a feeling it will be a close match , it’s like playing in Bangladesh for them , crowd support should jeer them.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

I'm not too sure about that. When Kedar Jhadav can pick up 3 wickets then Rashid Khan would be licking his lips.



Afg are definitely a better side than minnows BD.

Still their batsmen will collapse against Pak so Rashid’s impact will be minimal on match result.

 

[Hasan2K8]

Afghan spinners then main two and nabbi will make it difficult but BD bat maturely, should be fine but need some partnership and play out the two spinners.

Mujeebur Rahman. Interesting.. hero is written all over this name

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

H2H between these sides is 3-2. Desh lost twice to Afghans

 

[BlackShadow]

Pakistan should wipe the floor with Afghanistan tmrw. They will be tired playing consecutive games.

What?!! Why do Pakistan get to play all the tired sides? Very fishy.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

What?!! Why do Pakistan get to play all the tired sides? Very fishy.

Even we are playing a tired BD tomorrow.

 

[Slim]

IPL boy doing it for Afgans!

Thought you werernt following Asia cup? Even though you were found in yesterday's match thread as well?

Wow, 3 matches in 4 days! Crazy.

 

[Hasan2K8]

thats it play out Mujeebur Rahman and rashid khan the afghan main threats

In India, you don’t follow cricket, cricket follows you. I assume every corner of the street there’s a Philips tv hanging on the wall, it must be impossible to avoid it!

 

[Justcrazy]

Bangladesh needs to play normal cricket here

 

[BlackShadow]

I said I am not watching it, doesn't hurt to follow Cricbuzz though. Rashid Khan's performance brought me here, a big fan.

 

[Justcrazy]

Bangladesh need to play out Rashid and Najeeb for say 80 runs without loosing wickets .

 

[Napa]

IPL boy doing it for Afgans!

There are many well known critics of IPL on this forum, but two things make IPL special:

1) Players play with the best in the world.

2) Players can develop their game without worrying about sucking up to selectors as they know IPL teams care only about performance (which they have to given the huge amounts of money they pay out).

Exactly. Sounds like yesterday when Bumrah was a MI rookie known for his ugly action, while Rashid's selection was seen more as a political statement. Look at them now.

 

[Justcrazy]

Afghanistan bowling well here

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Rashid , Nabi , Mujeeb; Afghans have the best spin attack in world for lois?

 

[troodon]

That swung like its England.

 

[Syed1]

"experts" no where to be found

 

[MMHS]

Chalo boys, must score 156 - can't risk AFGs asking to follow on

 

[IAJ]

Rashid , Nabi , Mujeeb; Afghans have the best spin attack in world for lois?

India and Afghanistan way ahead in this department.

 

[Asif321]

If afghans score 240 tommrow Pakistan is done

 

[Asif321]

Aftab been bringing it in both matches our mighty shinwari and Amir couldn’t

 

[BDfanforever]

Chalo boys, must score 156 - can't risk AFGs asking to follow on

You guys wanted to rest entire team against AFG. Pathetic stuff from Bd.

I specially mentioned loosing to Ind pak is ok, but we are expected to win vs Afg.

 

[Syed1]

If afghans score 240 tommrow Pakistan is done

I hope the team doesn't bother coming back to Pak if they lose to Afg

 

[Justcrazy]

17 . 2

6 overs

 

[Asif321]

Rashid , Nabi , Mujeeb; Afghans have the best spin attack in world for lois?

Aftab Alam is a very good quick also with Shapoor and dawlat coming this afghan attack looks deadly

 

[Usman Chadda]

Aftab been bringing it in both matches our mighty shinwari and Amir couldn’t

Ball always swings under lights in Abu Dhabi. Speaking from personal experience.

 

[Dios]

This is a meaningless match with no significance.

 

[troodon]

Mujeeb is a world class spinner. Immaculate line and his doosra's are deadly.

 

[Asif321]

I hope the team doesn't bother coming back to Pak if they lose to Afg

I won’t be surprised if Pakistan lose chasing anything above 220
Our batsmen won’t be able to handle this pressure Afghan has quality in bowling

 

[MMHS]

Do you think playing full team can cover 95 for 8th wicket in less than 10 overs?

I hope, the excuse of a dead rubber is valid and they pull up the socks in Super 4 round. Losing to AFGs isn't the end of the world, but that bowling finish is embarrassing even against IND.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Two of my least favourite teams.... undecided on who I want to lose more!!

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Aftab Alam is a very good quick also with Shapoor and dawlat coming this afghan attack looks deadly

han wohi soch rha tha where are Dawlat and Sharpoor. Sadly Hamid's career hampered by injuries.
