13th Match - India v Bangladesh (23rd March)

[Contra]

Bangladesh still favs with Rahim still to come.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

BD will lose this

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Bangladesh still favs with Rahim still to come.

He's horribly out of form. No chance.

Ashwin bowled out, Bangladesh just need to bat sensibly here.

1.4 Jaddu overs, 2 Bumrah overs and 2 Nehra overs are remaining. They can attack the one over from 5th bowler.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Soumya looking like a deer in headlight

 

[Contra]

He's horribly out of form. No chance.

Well he doesn't need to play a marathon innings, just a sort of 10 off 15 type innings towards the end.

 

[Daemon]

Not sure Nehra is needed at this point. Yuvraj pls.

 

[Niall]

India have a problem at the top of the order, Dhawan isn't a T20 player in all honesty, he takes a while to get going so does Rohit. India really need that one guy at the top who takes the McCullum approach

Its a fair point, Dhawan was pretty poor as well in the last IPL where he was crawling along while relying on Warner fireworks. Rahane is somewhat similar and I can't think of anybody else at this moment who could provide the fireworks. Iyer I suppose deserves a look as he has scored a million runs in all formats, but not sure he is the free spirit that India need.

Not sure Nehra is needed at this point. Yuvraj pls.

I think Dhoni will bring the left-armer Yuvraj after left-armer Sarkar is gone.

 

[mr_mister]

Bangas too scared to play a big shot now. Dont spend too long in the 'rebuilding phase' boys

 

[Contra]

Please bowl Jaddu now, another tight over will really make 50-50

 

[Prince EWS]

I reckon Bangladesh would've chased this fairly comfortably had they not messed around with their batting order and selection to such a state.

> Sarkar should either open or not play at all
> Mithun shouldn't play at all
> Mahmudullah should be at 5 at the lowest
> Rahim should be at 6 at the lowest
> There's no reason for Mashrafe to come in at 5 when he's the ninth best batsman in the team and the RRR is only 7

I mean, really. This is basic stuff.

 

[weldone]

Uh, it's been a day of left-handed batsmen hitting sixes off left-arm spinners. It cost Afghanistan their game - will it also cost India theirs?

 

[CricAddict]

They keep hitting these sixes

 

[mr_mister]

i dont follow bangas too closely, are Sabbir and Soumya chances of test selection soon? Them plus in form Tamim, Shakib and Mahmuddullah could be pretty formidable

 

[vcs]

FFS not Bumrah

 

[Contra]

Bumrah.. I'm scared..

 

[weldone]

good move imo....If Sarkar isn't out in this over, Dhoni will give the 18th over to Pandya, otherwise to Yuvraj

Dhoni sometimes thinks like me.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Genuinely got to question this approach now. With 2 batsmen in the hut, this is unacceptable.

 

[Prince EWS]

I love Bumrah's yorkers.
