Match 52# Afghanistan vs Bangladesh: Do or die for the Afghans

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

Could be washed out after all that.

Target 116.
Bangladesh need to chase in 12.1 overs.

But a shortened match will totally screw Bangladesh over!! And possibly give Afghanistan a lifeline..

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

116 from 73 balls is the equation which is extremely tough in these conditions but gotta give it all here

 

[centurymaker]

9.5 per over is doable if you go all out imo

Big shame if the rain ruins this scenario.

 

[Burgey]

Should England have been thrown out for what we did in Iraq and Afghanistan?

Difficult one but I sympathise with your viewpoint.

England should be thrown out for basically being ***** tbh, but if you're looking for a moral equivalence between the Taliban and the UK then I have your lot just ahead.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Rashid Khan needs to stop being so bloody reticent and bat further up. He's easily the third most effective batsman in this side.

115-5 @SillyCowCorner1

 

[centurymaker]

If it ends up being a 15 over match, Bangladesh would need 94 runs in just 7.2 overs according to cricinfo.

Rashid smokes a six to save the embarrassment of an 18th over maiden.

Mustafizur smokes a single to save the embarrassment of a 19th over maiden.

 

[centurymaker]

116 in 12.1 > 94 in 7.2

former scenario clearly better

 

[ashley bach]

Rain has stopped and provided it doesn't return nothing should be lost.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

One thing for sure that the pitch is tough to bat on. We have the ability to chase in full overs but not in 12.1 overs thats for sure

 

[Burgey]

What, since the advent of the T20 WC?

I mean, if we're doing history then SA shouldn't be let back in

Surely needing less than 10 an over you gotta give your boys some kind of chance.

Covers are now off

 

[centurymaker]

With outfield getting wet, won't be easy for Afg anymore. And the ball may skid on now and make batting relatively easier.. so Bangladesh have a good chance

 

[Chubb]

Kind of want Afghanistan to fiddle this to knock Australia out, just for the epic bantz.

Good start by Bangladesh
