Tri-Nation Tournament in Bangladesh - 3rd Match - Bangladesh v Sri Lanka

[Genghis]

OK another tournament going on with little interest in another corner of the world.

Bangladesh need to win this one or else the final will be Zim Vs SL. SL looking to flex their muscle before their important series to Pakistan.

Match reduced to 31 overs each due to fog. Bangladesh win the toss and elected to field.

 

[Genghis]

Bangla with a good start ... SL 1/4 after 2 overs

 

[Genghis]

mashrafe on fire ... gets another one ... SL 2/4 now in the 3rd over

 

[bdchamp20]

Raqibul drops Jayasuriya

 

[IronMan2009]

SL must be feeling empty playing two minnows. Since it is a shortened game BD has an outside chance.

 

[bdchamp20]

Rubel Hossain one of the fastest bowlers in the U-19 World Cup in Malaysia, is making his debut today. And he surprises Jawardene with a bouncer.

 

[bdchamp20]

The pressure built up by Shakib and Naeem has paid off. Jayawardene gone!

 

[Random Aussie]

Sri Lanka now 7/130

Can Bangladesh win a game?

[Keith]

Stupid running. 1 down. Siddique should beat the living crap out of his partner there!!!

Bang 0/1

they require to win thisa one in the 21st over in order to secure a bonus point.

Only chance they have is to "go for leather from ball 1", in so doing they would be able to spend more time looking to the 2 m's!!!

 

[Amjid Javed]

Bangladesh like to play gun Ho reckless cricket so chasing this in 21 overs could be done!

[Poison]

Hahahahahhahaha. These guys aren't gonna tour Pakistan now.

 

[Poison]

Damn wicket. 126/5. They need 22 to win. Can still be a collapse only Bangladesh can produce./

 

[Easa]

Bangladesh are going to win with the bonus point

Sri Lanka are an average outfit. Their batting strategy is to hope that Jayasuria makes a big one, or else they are pretty much all out of form and struggling. Their bowling strategy is to have two 130kph seamers take the pace of the ball, and then hope against hope, that Murali can contain and Mendis can take wickets. Mendis will always take wickets, but Murali is not the bowler he once was, and then they have nothing at all to fall back on.

 

[Keith]

126/5 off 22

mendis strikes, caught by murali

21 from 17 required for bonus point

 

[Easa]

Their new ball bowlers are Thushara and Kulasekera.

Nuff said, really.

Well done Bangladesh... lets hope they can pull off another shock in the final!

 

[Poison]

Well done Bangladesh... lets hope they can pull off another shock in the final!

Its Zimbabwe though. Not much of a shock if they beat them.

 

[Amjid Javed]

So who are bangla playing in final SL or zimbos?

 

[rubel_18]

They are playin SL

 

[imes]

Finals against Sri Lanka. Zimbabwe got knocked out.

 

[Random Aussie]

Bangladesh Win A Game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[zafarsyed]

It really was his confidence that got them through in the end. He took on two of the best spinners in the world and played the shots without any fear and it definitely paid off in the end. It is knocks like these that separate ordinary cricketers from good/great ones.

 

[Shaan]

BD went through final by getting bonus point + win, so BD is palying Final with Srilanka.

 

[checkers.llvllaster]

Well played by Shakib...it's funny BD have played Mendis best

 

[Shaan]

Well played by Shakib...it's funny BD have played Mendis best

compare to ohter team for some reason we play Mendis with less respect and he find difficult to haul wickets against us.

 

[wadrib]

I can easily it is the best innings by any of BD batsman played in the career.Murali and Mendis looked very ordinary today

 

[Bangla Tiger]

compare to ohter team for some reason we play Mendis with less respect and he find difficult to haul wickets against us.

we've proven quite handily that we're the most manic team in cricket. getting crushed by zimbabwe (who albeit challenged SL some weeks ago) and then crushing SL (who are less than average when u take just 3-4 players away).

one of the reasons is that we don't pay respect in due proportions. any tom dick and harry bowler can take a 5-fer against us, not because they're any good, but because we have guys who will try to blast them for consecutive boundaries against the advice of the RRR.

then occaisionally u get the time when we pay too much respect to a bowler and let them get on top of us. its one thing to be cautious against the best bowlers in the word, quite another to blast them apart or to play them with fear.

but what would we do without sakib??? this guy has single-handedly dominated our team like no other, at least in recent memory.

 

[Bangla Tiger]

I can easily it is the best innings by any of BD batsman played in the career.Murali and Mendis looked very ordinary today

i agree, though i had to think about it vs ashraful's 94 off 52 against flintoff and company back in 2005.

 

[IronMan2009]

Bangladesh Win A Game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is their annual quota upset win.

 

[IronMan2009]

Srilankan batting has become so horrible that zimbabwe almost pulled off a win recently. Usually they simply crush minnows in one dayers with Jaya at the top. I suppose that is what going to happen in the final.

 

[siccric]

Really disappointing performance from SL but brilliance from the Bangladeshi bowlers and then Shakib. Didn't get to see the match but can't wait to watch in on youtube or here soon.

Congratulations Bangladesh! Well deserved victory.

 

[BD-fan]

Shakib said he just played the balls according to its merit. The ones needed to be blasted he tried his best to do that. The ones needed to be defended he did that with good footwork. I hope he continues this attitude in the coming matches.

 

[Ghoshtbuster]

Bangladesh seem to have [comparatively] little trouble with Mendis, according to the scorecards.

Maybe he just has something personal against the Indians. I like.

 

[siccric]

I think it might have to do with the pitches as well.
