Wish to watch the game today, as much as possible. I hope, they play it on the middle wicket, instead of the side wickets.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Are the finalists decided?

 

[MMHS]

Are the finalists decided?

Not yet - but SRL can make it with a direct win/tie, otherwise it goes to NRR.

Even then, SRL is in better position, because they would know exact defeat margin to cross ZIM. Roughly, they need to keep the margin below 72 runs or 12 overs to make it, in case of a defeat.

 

[MMHS]

Anamul is not going to make it, this was his last chance. After this U19 WC, Saif & Afif will stand in the Q for the 2nd opening spot.

Bangladesh in trouble

 

[MMHS]

3 down of 15 This game will test the middle order.

 

[RainMan_]

So much hype for this team

Getting destroyed by this Lankan team. Thus team depends too much on Tamim and shakib. Apart from them the whole team is filled with mediocre passengers

Mushi the wall is still there

Little mushy will also get bounced out.

 

[RainMan_]

Why is nasir still playing? Is bcb trolling us. He's the epitome of mediocrity

 

[MMHS]

I think, we'll need at least 170 here, wicket is a bit sluggish. Having said that, pathetic batting

 

[RainMan_]

Why is Sabbir representing Bangladesh ? What type of example r we trying to set here by allowing him to play for our national team?

 

[DHONI_FAN]

What a rubbish ODI pitch is this? Ball keeping low and turning square when not even 15 overs have been completed. Pathetic

 

[Executioner]

What a poor performance from our side

Filled with passengers like Nasir Anamul Riad

 

[dhonixi]

Bangladesh taking odi pitches to whole new level. It can't help them in world cup. They can win here by spinners but will get destroyed next year in England.

This is actually not a typical Bangladeshi pitch.

Pitches in Bangladesh are usually flatter. I don't like the Lankan curator tbh

It's because of over use of the track - they are preserving the middle wicket for final. This is 6th game on same venue in 11 days with fielders running on spikes.

 

[another drop catch]

175+ on this pitch is defendable

 

[Shafi]

I think SL will all out under 50!!!!

 

[Abdullah719]

I think SL will all out under 50!!!!

59/0

This looks like a scorecard from the early 2000s

 

[Usman Chadda]

Did a few Bangladesh fans claim they were much better than this Sri Lankan side? This is a proper mauling.

 

[saeed5646]

I think SL will all out under 50!!!!

I salute to you sir

Never shy of confidence but always wrong

 

[saeed5646]

Now i have hope pak will not be white wash by This BD team @bujee kom right?

 

[Shafi]

I salute to you sir

Never shy of confidence but always wrong

Good to see SL prove me wrong!!!!!

[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] pathetic wicket cost u match i think,going bu scorecard and comments here.

 

[Ahson8]

Will be tough for [MENTION=144456]bujhee kom[/MENTION] to sleep well tonight. Bangladesh mauled by Sri Lanka & PAK beat NewZealand

 

[dhonixi]

What the hell happened here!!

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

Chi chi chi...Got beaten by SL of all teams. Our U 19 team can score atleast 200 against these trundlers .

 

[ethan hunt]

Proper pasting this .
Happy for Srilanka .
Bangladesh being bangladesh again after a couple of decent performances following that horror southafrican tour.

 

[BlueDoritos]

Absolute domination

what a win

 

[Mainul]

This is a warning sign for Bangladesh.its good for us that the bad day came before final. The middle order is totally out of form.Sabbir,Nasir,Mahmudullah aren't contributing anything for few matches now.Bangladesh is missing the service of Mosaddek very much.Mithun should get in for Sabbir in the team for final.And also Saifuddin who can bat.

 

[DHONI_FAN]

Today was just an off day for Tigers

 

[BlueDoritos]

Best Asian bowler is Amear, the new Wasim Akram.He is tearing all opposition apart.And best Asian batsman is Babbar,the Bradman of new generation.

Bangladeshis can only dream of ever watching a Bangali bowler top the ODI rankings after performing all over the world.

 

[hadi123]

Sri Lankan bowlers are capable of rolling teams over. They done this to India in the first ODI last month as well. They need to be more consistent because their bowling has potential. On paper, this SL team really isn't bad, don't know why they haven't been getting results. Happy for them winning today

 

[Hamstead_joy]

This is bad.
Loss is'nt the major issue, losing in this manner at home ground is bad for their image.

 

[SLCric]

I think SL will all out under 50!!!!

ha ha

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

SL are the new PAK

 

[BlueDoritos]

SL are the new PAK

India is the new Bangladesh?!

 

[syed abbas]

I urge PCB to arrange a series with Bangladesh;it may improve the morale and confidence of our players and help Pakistan to improve its ranking.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

What a shock to the system...... haven't seen bangkadesh rollover like this for a while.

 

[Syed1]

Best team in Asia ladies and gentleman ) )

 

[Syed1]

I urge PCB to arrange a series with Bangladesh;it may improve the morale and confidence of our players and help Pakistan to improve its ranking.

They are below us, so even if we beat them comprehensively it won't do a whole lot to our rankings.

 

[syed abbas]

They are below us, so even if we beat them comprehensively it won't do a whole lot to our rankings.

A whitewash may improve our ranking.

 

[Syed1]

A whitewash may improve our ranking.

We may get some ranking points, but distance between us and NZ is sizable and we would have to beat someone higher than us to leap over NZ.

 

[Rayyman]

Lol and some deluded fans thought that BD will beat us in an ODI series. They just lost by 10 wickets to SL. Who we just beat 5-0.

 

[BlueDoritos]

Insufferable Bangla fans nowhere to be seen

 

[The_Odd_One]

That's a new low, beaten by 10 wickets by SL and some Bangladeshi fans think they have some gun team.

 

[MMHS]

Relax guys, it was a bad day . a 10 run defeat to this Lanka team would have been tougher to swallow - 10 wickets doesn't hurt that much.

 

[MMHS]

That's a new low, beaten by 10 wickets by SL and some Bangladeshi fans think they have some gun team.

It's a very good team at home condition - they won 3 games with bonus points, and lost the dead rubber. I wish & sincerely hope that they have lost it on field.

What you guys are doing here is sick mentality - same team won against SRL by 163 runs 6 days back - I didn't see anyone that time - if you can't praise that, you shouldn't come here for fun today either. Or, if you wish the mud slinging, it won't be enjoyable for anyone - there will be enough 'occasions" for that in coming days.

 

[MMHS]

Lol and some deluded fans thought that BD will beat us in an ODI series. They just lost by 10 wickets to SL. Who we just beat 5-0.

Don't draw equations like that - PAK lost 0-2 to SRL in UAE, we made it 1-1 in SRL. That doesn't equate that PAK is going to be swept in Test by BD.

 

[MMHS]

[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] pathetic wicket cost u match i think,going bu scorecard and comments here.

I don't think wicket had much to do in it - it was their pacers that won the game on this wicket. Moreover, we won the toss, and opted to bat, so no excuses - credit should be given to the Lankan team. I think, our boys were a bit relaxed and SRL had a target to make the Final on points - these things happen. Besides, SRL is such a team that, on their day they'll crash someone - even away. Last year, they had a true hiding in SAF, then won the T20 series.

One good outcome was that, boys did avail me few hours of sleep though Hopefully, the Final will be longer

 

[Chrish]

Don't care about what happens in ODI but damn!! This is a slaughter..

 

[Pete Rose]

That was unexpected, but good for SL they've been in a blue funk for a year now.

 

[Executioner]

Man that was absolute annihilation. Hope we comeback strong next match

Real bad day at the office

 

[Rayyman]

Don't draw equations like that - PAK lost 0-2 to SRL in UAE, we made it 1-1 in SRL. That doesn't equate that PAK is going to be swept in Test by BD.

True. SL pacers are pretty good. Actually in 2nd ODI they had us like 90-5 before Babar and Shadab put 100 partnership.

 

[Justcrazy]

It was bad day for BD . I think they will be better in the final.

 

[bujhee kom]

I never actually made a prediction WRT to this game. Nonetheless it is just a bad day at the office.

 

[MMHS]

What my hunch is for this dead rubber, if I write it here, mods'll delete that. I sincerely hope that I am wrong and we lost at field. Though, opting to bat in a D/N in Jan at Mirpur, on a wet wicket ....... But that call was by Mash, because there is no Head coach now - that's only making me bemused, otherwise in social media, I would have gone mad by now .....

 

[Hasan123]

Hope Lanka win the tournament.

 

[Sherlock]

Woah, that's some tonking. Good on SL, their fans deserve some reprieve.

 

[msb314]

We may get some ranking points, but distance between us and NZ is sizable and we would have to beat someone higher than us to leap over NZ.

Waisay how big has that gap grown now given we lost 5-0?

 

[giri26]

Fantastic performance from SL. They have good talent but are being let down by the seniors who are not pulling in their weight. Both Mathews and Chandimal look lethargic and disinterested.
