Sri Lanka (184/8) defeat Bangladesh (183/7) by 2 wickets and qualify for the Super 4 stage

[Villager6964]

I don't understand why Bangladesh persisting with Mushfiqur Rahim who is definitely not a T20 player he has average of 19 with 115 strike rate after 102 matches.

They should select someone else for this mediocre T20i player.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Asia Cup rocks, all matches have been pretty good so far. And some people call this tournament irrelevant.

 

[JaDed]

Wow lol BD should get in new blood they have good youngsters who will develop if selected for the national team.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Shakib hitting 4444

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 70/3 (9 overs).

Run rate is okay but lost too many wickets.

 

[JaDed]

I don’t see how Asian teams will win T20 wc with such senior culture approach.

Shakib switching up the gear

 

[sweep_shot]

Mushfiqur is not exactly Maxwell to be worried about in a T20.

For Bangladesh, Mushfiq is vital.

BD once chased down 210+ against Sri Lanka in a T20 game. Mushfiq was the key batter.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Shakib Ganguly

 

[Villager6964]

Asia Cup rocks, all matches have been pretty good so far. And some people call this tournament irrelevant.

Yeah man it's been very entertaining. Multination tournaments are always entertaining.

Franchise cricket is destroying international cricket and IPL is the one which has destroyed international cricket the most.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 85/3 (10 overs).

One less wicket would've been nice. But, run rate is okay.

Need another 80-100 runs minimum.

 

[Villager6964]

For Bangladesh, Mushfiq is vital.

BD once chased down 210+ against Sri Lanka in a T20 game. Mushfiq was the key batter.

No he is not good. He averages 19 with 115 strike rate. He is extremely mediocre in this format.

 

[sweep_shot]

10 overs to go. Hasaranga has 3 overs left. See him off and target the other 7 overs.

 

[Mp812]

Shakib messes it up. Looses wkt

 

[sweep_shot]

No he is not good. He averages 19 with 115 strike rate. He is extremely mediocre in this format.

Like I said, he has won matches for BD before. Won one game against West Indies too.

Average doesn't mean much in T20. Only strike rate matters.

Other batters are worse than Mushfiq. He is good by BD standard.

 

[light]

Lol, same old same old. BD really sucks in this format

 

[sweep_shot]

Shakib is out. Big blow.

87/4 (10.3 overs).

 

[Villager6964]

Like I said, he has won matches for BD before. Won one game against West Indies too.

Average doesn't mean much in T20. Only strike rate matters.

I mean other batters are worse than Mushfiq. He is good by BD standard.

He might have played one or two good innings in this format for Bangladesh but he is not good.

His strike rate is even worse than his average.
He only has 115 strike rate.

 

[sweep_shot]

He might have played one or two good innings in this format for Bangladesh but he is not good.

His strike rate is even worse than his average.
He only has 115 strike rate.

Other BD batters are worse. That's all I am saying.

Mahmudullah, Shakib, Tamim and Mushfiq - they were the backbone of BD batting in the last decade.

 

[Villager6964]

LOL how can i become an umpire. I can definitely do much better job than these incompetent umpires.

 

[sweep_shot]

Projected score: 154.

Need a bit more than that.

 

[sweep_shot]

That was not out. Good decision.

 

[Villager6964]

Dilshan madushanka looks a good talent.

A left armer, decent height,pace and can swing the ball as well.

Srilanka should develop him and he can become a very good player.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 91/4 (12 overs).

Run rate has dropped to 7.6.

 

[Villager6964]

Hasaranga struggles against left handers a lot.

 

[sweep_shot]

Hasaranga struggles against left handers a lot.

Yeah. He is more effective against right-handed batters.

 

[sweep_shot]

Four and six.

100 is up.

BD - 103/4 (13 overs; run rate: 7.90).

 

[Villager6964]

Wasim just loves to read stats. He brings nothing as a commentator. Very poor commentator just like every other asian commentators.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 109/4 (14 overs).

Last 6 overs. Need 65-70 runs minimum.

 

[Villager6964]

LOL Wasim Akram and his love story with stats

Paii koi bhi commentary bhi kar le Changi.

 

[Rana]

Wasim just loves to read stats. He brings nothing as a commentator. Very poor commentator just like every other asian commentators.

He also said

“Big shot fine leg is in the air!!”

He says very funny things when excited

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Bangladesh will need 165 at least.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 123/4 (15 overs).

14 from the over. Good over for BD.

 

[sweep_shot]

Bangladesh will need 165 at least.

Yup.

I think 165-170 is par here.

180 would be nice.

 

[pakpassfan]

Still better than atahar Ali..I put matches on mute when he comes

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 138/4 (16 overs).

Another good over. 15 from it.

 

[JaDed]

180 and this will be BD's game to lose

 

[sweep_shot]

Current partnership: 51 runs from 33 balls.

Good one so far.

 

[JaDed]

out looks like 165ish it will be, could be a close game.

 

[sweep_shot]

Afif is out. He was going well. Blow for BD.

BD - 144/5 (16.4 overs).

 

[sweep_shot]

out looks like 165ish it will be, could be a close game.

Yeah. Run a ball can give them 165-ish. A bit more can give them 170.

I think they should reach 170 here.

 

[JaDed]

Yeah. Run a ball can give them 165-ish. A bit more can give them 170.

I think they should reach 170 here.

Anything above 170 BD is in good position, lol and out

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 147/5 (17 overs).

9 from the over. Afif has done his job. Rest need to chip in now.

 

[JaDed]

Absolutely loved the positive intent today though by BD, unlike Indian batting where we were rescued by SKY.

 

[sweep_shot]

Mahmudullah is out.

147/6.

17 balls to go.

 

[Rana]

Bangladesh are here to win!

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Bangladesh is running away with this game.

 

[JaDed]

Mahmudullah is out.

147/6.

17 balls to go.

Refresh your streaming, Hossain has already smacked 2 4s.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 159/6 (18 overs).

Last 2 overs. Should try to add 30 runs. Can give them 189.

 

[JaDed]

BD reaching super 4s will make it very interesting, all 4 teams fans dislike eachother lol memes galore.

 

[Shafi]

Don't think SL can chase even 160.

 

[Villager6964]

This match is slightly in favour of Bangladesh now.They have got runs on the board.

 

[sweep_shot]

Don't think SL can chase even 160.

Pitch is good for batting. 160-165 shouldn't be hard.

Should be an interesting chase.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 166/7 (19 overs).

Final over. Need a big over.

 

[sweep_shot]

Six from Taskin. Good stuff.

173/7.

3 balls to go.

 

[JaDed]

Get it to 180!!

 

[MenInG]

Scoreboard showing BD behind on overrate but TV comms saying they have confirmed with 3rd ump that SL are fine

This rule causing some problems.

 

[JaDed]

Get it to 180!! lol and 4 ridiculous,

edit: got it to 183 welldone

 

[Rana]

Mosaddek and Afif have been excellent for Bangladesh

 

[Villager6964]

Bangladesh's game to lose now.

 

[Rana]

This score will take some serious batting

 

[Rana]

Bangladesh have deserved this total, they kept on pushing even after losing wickets at regular intervals

 

[anakwalajinn]

184 to win for Sri Lanka

Hoping for a thrilling finish!

 

[MenInG]

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 183/7 (20 overs).

Sri Lanka need 184 to win.

Batters have done well. Bowlers now have to get the job done.

 

[light]

Well i'll be damned, this match is turning out to be a cracker so far. SL V BD is becoming my second fav asian match up after Ind V Pak. Gotta do more of these nagging drama before the match.

Also Russel Arnold: "He won't get a firing from the captain ... because he is the captain" - after the miss-field. This guy is such a lousy commentator lol

It was Manjrekar

Him and Ramiz were so cheesy

 

[jnaveen1980]

Take a bow Afif. what a little gem of an innings.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Tigers are back.

 

[sweep_shot]

Take a bow Afif. what a little gem of an innings.

It was a team effort.

Miraz, Afif, Mahmudullah, and Mosaddek. They all chipped in.

 

[Justcrazy]

Lanka look clueless here .

 

[sweep_shot]

Need a few tight overs upfront. Get that NRR above 10 early.

 

[sweep_shot]

SL - 2/0 (1 over; target: 184).

Good start from BD.

 

[Justcrazy]

Lanka need to get going , no time to block , target is big.

 

[jnaveen1980]

It was a team effort.

Miraz, Afif, Mahmudullah, and Mosaddek. They all chipped in.

Agreed. But at one point BD was heading towards a mid range total like 150. This guy made the statement by attacking their best bowler. He hit him out of the attack.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Dropped

 

[light]

Lanka needs to do what BD openers did. Instead, they are doing what they did with Afg in the previous match

 

[jnaveen1980]

Put down. Rahim. You have one thing to do lol

 

[pakpassfan]

How BD even managed to win any match with the amount of catches they drop

 

[jnaveen1980]

With his terrible T20 career, Rahim should be dropped.

 

[JaDed]

Every single time I watch BD Mushi plays ridiculously.
