From 201-3 in the 39th over to 265 in 50 overs, WITHOUT being bowled out? How the **** does that happen?

The usual way.

This is looking ominous.

Not yet. The tail cant hold the bat at all

Santner has bowled well to Shakib. No room

I think the key is that Bangladesh keep well on top of the run-rate, I could definitely see a situation where they drift for a few overs, the RRR goes over 7, brain fade and things escalate rapidly.

If Bangladesh can keep it to 6 then at least when the inevitable happens the new bat isn't under immediate pressure to score. And it's not like Bangladeshis are built to smash it into the stands anyway.

Another tight over like that and the pressure will start to build on the batsmen.

Its been almost 14 overs since i had hoped that htese 2 last for 15 overs. Good stuff. However the job isn't done yet. If these 2 stay around until the 45th over then even 50 is possible to attain in last 5 overs.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Arghhhhh cant watch folding from here

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

The field is quite spread now. Singles pls

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Whadda partnership from 33/4 to 202/4

 

[YorksLanka]

My money on Bangladesh here..

 

[Meridio]

How crucial is that drop from Taylor looking. We had the game sewn up.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Highest ever partnership for BD. job not done yet

 

[Howe_zat]

I feel like Shabbir at 3 and Mahmadullah at 6 is a cake/icing mix up.

Yeah pretty much so

 

[Scaly piscine]

NZ's wide count is horrendous. Will be interesting to see if these two play for their 100 or carry on doing what they've done.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Cometh the hour cometh the man MAHMUDULLAH

 

[harsh.ag]
