31st Match - Bangladesh v Afghanistan

[thierry henry]

I feel like Bangladesh are well above par and tbh pretty lucky to be sitting as pretty as they are. Some dangerous looking bowling without reward and now things falling apart a bit for Afghanistan

 

[morgieb]

They're going fine given the pitch, right? They should be ok if they get 250+ here, I guess.

That and the Afghan's batting being ****. At 2/100-odd that could easily get them to 300 which is ample.

Only one boundary for shakib's fifty

You’re welcome Afghanistan

 

[thierry henry]

Looking forward to a Bangladesh loss after taking a minnow lightly.

Na Afg should have batted first, only gonna get harder batting on this

What makes you think they're taking Afghanistan lightly? They're full strength and it's been pretty good bowling

Looks like Mahmuddlah has done a calf...expect him to tee off soon then

Better off retiring hurt than that IMO. Long batting lineup today and he can come back later and tee off if he has to. If he's happy to bat normally then fine but if he's not then he should go off, especially since he's costing Mushfiqur runs too.

BD should get over 250/260 and that will be more than enough. Afgan bowled well though.

Why can't people catch in this tournament?

Are English balls slipperier than everyone else's balls?

 

[Prince EWS]

They probably did it to give themselves a left/right partnership knowing that can sometimes make Mujeeb drop short and down leg, but Liton and Sarkar swapping places makes this batting lineup look so much worse on paper to me. If they don't swap back next time there will be hell to pay.

 

[cnerd123]

I think this is enough

 

[trundler]

A valiant effort with the ball but Afghanistan have the shakiest batting

 

[slippy888]

Where should Ikram bat

 

[slippy888]

Rahmat Shah based his batting technique around Virat Kholi batting style.

 

[slippy888]

Rahmat is a run machine in Afghan domestic cricket

 

[Borges]

So far, so good; this is a decent start. The problem with my Afghan tigers is that they are prone to collapses without warning.
