Will Bangladesh be able to defeat India in the 2-match Test series?

[JaDed]

I don't think you have watched that under 19 match, that's actually how Shoriful celebrated after picking up Jaiswal's wicket. I don't know why post like a constipated person, try dabur hajmola

Lol we are like the Aus of U-19 wc , you have what one maybe you should give the haj mola to your senior lads, they might perform once in a while against top teams.

 

[Dhakar Pola]

Dont think Ind is not taking Ban seriously. They know the moment they get complacent - they can be surprised. Plus WTC points are at stake. And thats the kicker. Every single test win is vital. So they will be taking Ban seriously like all other tests. Also - probably the last chance for Rohit Virat Ashwin Jadeja to win a WTC final - so the extra added incentive I guess

I know. I am just trying to have fun with trolls.

 

[ChennaiFan]

I don't believe there is any rivalry between India and Bangladesh in cricket. There were are trolling in the past, but those were for fun. Bangladesh had some good players like Tamim, Mashrafe etc in the past, but as a team they lacked consistency.
Now, with players like Litton Das, their captain Najmul Shanto, and some good spin bowling allrounders, they are becoming a decent team.
We have to wait and see how their pace bowling shape up - Nahid Rana seems a good prospect. I am not sure why Tanzim is not in the sqaud. Is he considered as limited overs specialist?

 

[DeadlyVenom]

This is a much hyped series now.

Bangladesh result in Pakistan has got people interested in how this goes.

At the moment Tanzim is being thought for limited overs only. I am sure he will get in place of Khalid in future..Khalid is the work horse, nothing that much special about him

[Dhakar Pola]

Do check and you will see me ridiculing freelancer. Search for "apney to apney hote hain"

Interesting you called FC a bigot, but never Sweepy, the chap who flaunted his Candianship till BD won in PK, and tries best to denigrate Hinduism, Hindus and India.

Some of us have been around for longer than you have....

I don't even think him as a bangladeshi. Guy left BD in 2005 and posts lies stuff about my country's current situation like he is in BD. What's the point of talking with a worthless you know what.

I don't post that much on Hindu/islam topics as it's controversial. Religion is own.

Guy supports BD team. That's the only place I am on board with him

 

[DeadlyVenom]

@Rajdeep you are laughing at the rivalry and made it sound one sided. But @KingLiton gave example of how Sehwag ate two chickens a day to be strong enough for Bangladesh.

Clearly there is a rivalry and desire from Indian side too.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Bangladesh will get what they did to Pakistan a month ago.

I wish India best as well. There is a thread about visiting bangladesh. Read that thread and you will get my stand on india

 

[sweep_shot]

Here he comes a born again BD on coattails of BDCT winning in PK. Hypocrite of the highest order and his justifications are comical to say the least.

Whether BD win or Pakistan win or Afghanistan win, I am always happy. All are Muslim states.

I have always supported BD. Not sure what you are talking about.

 

[nish_mate]

A chap used to say dont tag me on BD losses, I am Canadian, now stating supports BD. Hypocrite thy name.

Offcourse he wont understand it, coz its beyond him.

My position is in sync with what majority of the Bangladeshis think. You are in the minority.

You act like an Indian agent and I suspect you are an Awami League supporter also. That's why you are not liking my posts. LOL.

Just because I am out of Bangladesh doesn't mean I don't know what's going on. I am associated with 2 organizations in Bangladesh. Some of my relatives are involved with BD politics and also BD military. I have family and friends there.

Anyway, I hope you are enjoying what's happening to Awami League. Game is only starting. I hope India will return Hasina to BD so that she can be held accountable.

I am Muslim and I have lots of good Hindu friends in Dhaka thanks.

When Hasina was in power her people would call anyone who spoke neutrally a rajakar and a Pakistani agent. Now the current regime people are saying anyone who is neutral a dalal and Indian agent. Lol I do not care. Not hasina or not these mollah's could took over BD. I have enough trust on the general people of my country. When required we are not afraid to lose our blood. Hasina got that teaching, before hasina Ershad got that teaching and before Ershad Pakistan saw that.

I hope you non Muslim people go and visit the root of the country before coming into conclusions from some BD members here, FB and the news media

 

[sweep_shot]

@Dhakar Pola if you are non- Muslim I hope you see what they will call you in your “land”, Indian Agent.

I didn't see a single post from @Dhakar Pola condemning Sheikh Hasina (the evil dictator who killed thousands of innocent people).

He is obviously an Awami League supporter.

Anyway, his party is finished. May they never return. This is Bangladesh 2.0.

Let's now return to the topic of the thread.

See the above post

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Sunil Gavaskar in a recent column warned out about the challenge of facing Bengal Tigers:

"By beating Pakistan in Pakistan, Bangladesh have shown that they are no pushovers. They troubled India when the team went to Bangladesh for the Test series. It took a serious effort from the batters to beat Bangladesh,”

“Bangladesh are a quality side with some experience and young cricketers. They don’t feel pressure after looking at the rivals. Every team will have to be careful against them, as Pakistan found out. The series between India and Bangladesh will be an intresting one.”

“India have 10 Tests left, and they will have to win at least five to make it to the final of the WTC. None of these games will be easy as we are in for an exciting summer of cricket,’

I did see his posts condemning Indian Media about faking BD Hindu plight, and you should be the last person to talk about condemnation, you support Russia in one situation, Palestine in the other, Pakistan Army in 1971, BD army in 2024.

Makes sense to ease him into Tests. Ebadot came into the scene and got injured quickly which was unfortunate. Probably the Bangladesh management is careful now in handling the pace bowlers.

 

[Devadwal]

People's are seriously think india - Bangladesh has some rivalry?? Absolutely not maybe only Bangladesh fans can think

India has two rivalry one against Pakistan which is now only due to politics otherwise Pakistan is minnow compared to India

Now from pure cricket point of view india true rival are Australia .

they can definitely test india on spinning tracks lets see how BD batters will take on indian bowlers.. if they do well then surely they can defeat india.

BD and India issue is political in nature. Nothing to do with cricket.

India is #2 (Aussies are #1) and BD is #9 in Test. It is obviously not a cricket rivalry.

 

[BDfanforever]

Guys, please keep politics, religion, and whatnot out of this thread.

Since this is above average BD Test team it will be interesting what strategy IND uses. Previously they could just use pace and blow BD away. That may still be the case as BD batting is very weak unless Joy and Shanto clicks as they are supposed to hold the batting together.

 

[Mainul]

If Bumrah weren't playing thisngs would have been quite different.

India is very hard to beat at home i know. But Bangladesh will play without any pressure. Thats the vital point here. Bangladesh is playing good cricket, has the rhythm and they will feel no pressure at all. If India makes mistakes, Bangladesh can grab the opportunity.

 

[KingLiton]

Lol we are like the Aus of U-19 wc , you have what one maybe you should give the haj mola to your senior lads, they might perform once in a while against top teams.

Agreed we should keep politics aside.

 

[Mainul]

Bangladesh think tank is smart enough to know that cricket specialists aren't expecting a Bangladesh win here. Not at all. Bangladesh has been practicing seriously and they are just focusing on playing their natural game, shall try to play good cricket.

This is the only point that will decrease the difference of strength between two teams. Otherwise there is a big difference between the strength of two teams.

In terms of skills and planning India is far ahead and beating India in India is hard. Bangladesh are improving by leaps and bounds but I expect a competitive series with 2-0 result toward india

Hope to see good cricket by Bangladesh. Winning will be hard but records are meant to be broken. Just play good cricket and if get some chance then try to capitalize.

Most of us have been respectful towards Bangladesh. I don't expect us to take bdesh lightly at all. I believe you guys are good. With the new bowling attack. Always fast bowlers are key. Nonsense is what I would say when people say Asian pitches won't suit fast bowlers. Fast bouncy accurate bowlers will do well everywhere and that includes Asia.

[Champ_Pal]

The best BD can do is make India bat twice and take it past Day-4.

Indian bowling is too good in Indian conditions. There is no respite for BD batsmen. Every bowler is a match winner for India. It’s just a matter of whose day it is to get bucket loads of wickets.

That being said, BD has proven that they are no slouches by whitewashing Pakistan. Their bowling has improved which can out India under pressure.

If somehow BD manages to win one Test, it will be as good as winning the series. I highly doubt it though.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Not defeat India but yes, they can give a tough time at best. Not expecting 2-0 or 1-0 result for Bangladesh.

If Shami were to play this game would be over inside 3 days on abrasive surfaces. Him and Umesh were deadly forces during India's golden home run. Now INdia's second choice bowlers are largely inexperienced. Akash deep, Yash Dhayal. Even Siraj is only relatively more experienced.

 

[AMSS]

Confidence and belief is a huge thing in sports and cricket in particular. BD swatting aside pakistan would 100 percent elevate their game in this series.

Nevertheless, if India brings its A game there's no hope for BD. Might spring a surprise in a passage of play or win a session or two in a test but very little chance of them overcoming Rohit, Gill, Yash, Pant etc.

Tipping India to win even if they play below par as a matter of fact. India would need only on or two batsmen to click and BD will struggle to cope with that.

 

[Advaith]

If India bats first, it will be hard for Bangladesh.. Bangladesh can trouble India on spin pitch if they bat first ..

If they are competitive it will still be a good result for them. It may open up more tours and matches v India.

They can get a lot out of this series with very little pressure on their heads.

 

[RashelHassan]

Bangladesh let alone , would not be able to draw a single test.

If they avoid innings defeat , it will be best for them. India can beat Bangladesh with 9 players .

So you're showing the same overconfidence as Pakistan. Don't underestimate. Play your best game if you don't want to loose.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

not from the rest of the world but from the country itself, considering its India an the political relation is not that good atm

What pressures are you talking about? As BD team has matured a lot, BD fans also matured a lot. Absolutely no pressure from the country, unless players create pressures on themselves.

 

[RashelHassan]

Poster you quoted is not Indian

My bad but the statement remains the same. India have to play well, Bangladesh isn't a pushover anymore. That doesn't mean that we're dreaming of the Test series win against India. But we're expecting a better show and fightback from Bangladesh than before.

 

[Justcrazy]

So you're showing the same overconfidence as Pakistan. Don't underestimate. Play your best game if you don't want to loose.

We will see after the series, bookmark this , I will come back after the series is over.

India has plans , and players to execute them. Much better teams have failed to India in India.

That is what I said in my post , If Bangladesh fight , they will avoid innings defeat , which will be better performance from them.

Now, with players like Litton Das, their captain Najmul Shanto, and some good spin bowling allrounders, they are becoming a decent team.
We have to wait and see how their pace bowling shape up - Nahid Rana seems a good prospect. I am not sure why Tanzim is not in the sqaud. Is he considered as limited overs specialist?

But there should be a rivalry. Or else there is no fun in the games. Sledging, verbal banter , no bhaichara like Ind Pak players, taunting opposition players, the nagin dance etc etc - want it to be fierce and competetive. Its test cricket. Dont want any friendlies.. Adds to the atmosphere and watchability index.

 

[sweep_shot]

On paper: BD should get smashed and lose big.

Expectation: BD should be competitive even if they lose 0-2.

Would be a surprise if: BD avoid a 0-2 whitewash.

That's pretty much it.

What happened to the leg spinner from WT20? He looked very impressive. Is he only a white ball player?

Bangla outperformed Pak in batting and fielding and matched Pak in fast bowling.
Spinners is not even a comparison. Pak spinners vs Bangla spinners was gulf in quality. So basically 3/4 departments.

Might not be the same vs India but your expectation is very realistic without any rhetoric so well done there. All the best for your team.

Rishad?

I say he is not ready for Test yet.

Bangladeshi Test spin attack is okay for now (Mehidy, Shakib, Taijul, and Nayeem Hasan).

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Gautam Gambhir in a recent presser warned Bangladesh of threat of team India:

"Jasprit Bumrah is the best fast bowler in the world, across formats. It's great to have Bumrah in the dressing room, someone who can change the game at any point of time,"

"India is a batting-obsessed nation. But Bumrah, Ashwin, and Jadeja are changing that. Bumrah is smart in Test cricket. It is good these guys are changing the trend,"

"I have been big believer that we don't fear anyone but we respect everyone. It is the same with Bangladesh. We don't look at the opposition and play the game we know,"

"I Congratulate them for what they did in Pakistan. But this is a new series and they are a quality side and we want to play good cricket. Yes they have experience in Shakib, Mushfiqur and Mehidy but we want to be switched on from the first ball."

 

[The Bald Eagle]

They won't but it would be fun watch them try.

 

[Cricket Warrior]

They won't but it would be fun watch them try.

they can depends how therr batters will respond.

 

[AMSS]

BD's lower order of Mushfiq, Liton and Mehidi is solid. In that sense they are a lot like India who have had Ashwin, Jadeja, Jurel, Axar etc bail out many times after a top order collapse. Now there's Pant as well.

Similar strengths.

 

[kron]

This is the real clash of titans in Asia. Bangladesh is in crazy good form. At their peaks. India also are strong and the hardest team to beat. Hardest ro even draw.

If there is one team that can surprise india then it would be Bangladesh

They always up their game vs india.

India though seem focused and are taking them very seriously.

Hopefully india win.
