Official NZ in Bangladesh (5 T20s)

[The Hutt Rec]

A bit of sanity with Latham coming in at three.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

That delivery by shakib deserved to go out of the park

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Just take the bails off you plonker

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Prayers for nasum if he goes to UAE for WC. Rubbish bowling

You need a bit of luck as a batter. The ball from Shakib on other decks will be flying. I don't think Ravindra should lose heart. Shakib/Ravindra duels will be good to watch.

Don't mind the two wickets it's all good. At least they scored some runs. Even 18-20 runs in the first 3 is reasonable.

well on track for the chase

As long as we keep scoring 6 an over and have CDG at 6/7 we'll have a chance

I'd rather take 36/2 in these conditions than 20/0.

 

[nzfan]

More worried about Mustfizur's bowling. He's an absolute gun

 

[Aritro]

This is looking good for the Kiwis. Too many gifts from the Bangladeshi bowling as well

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

20 runs short if we were bowling so bad and NZ seems to have been getting a grip of these pitches

 

[nzfan]

Are you guys trying to jinx? I'd rather be in Bangladesh's shoes right now. They've got this one so easy

 

[Aritro]

What is this length they keep bowling? It's ****ing free runs.

 

[Aritro]

Are you guys trying to jinx?

Absolutely! But I'm genuinely worried. And this bowling isn't helping.

 

[straw man]

All our boundaries except the six have been from poor balls; it's surprising they have been this frequent tbh.

And yet we're still behind the rate - extremely hard to score if bowling tight.

Shakib is wearing two shoes

Shakib is wearing two shoes

It would be a bit of a mystery if he wore three ?

Yup I've counted about 3-4 balls where the batsmen have been prepared to leave the crease, worked Ravindra but not for Blundell. Best bet is for these two to not give their wickets away, get properly used to the pace of the pitch, and go big when needed.

No way dude. I'd be super surprised if we get there. It's Bangladesh's game to lose. If we get to 120 I'm happy . We're definitely not going to get bowled out for 60

 

[Aritro]

This Saif idea could hand them the game unless he's bowling his best stuff, targeting the blockhole.

 

[nzfan]

Wondering if CDG will arrive at all or just throw his wicket away. He's the key if we need some quick runs
