Congratulations Sri Lankan Cricket team. But so sad for Afghanistan team. They played fantastic but Another equation behind the equation has escaped the attention of the Afghanistan's as they are stuck on the mission of taking 3 runs off 1 ball. I think it is bad luck for Afghanistan. It is very sad for Afghanistan team because they played well, When was need more runs then Mohammad Nabi played fantastic, he taken 65 runs from 32 balls. Strike rate was 203%+. Everyone thinked Afghanistan will go Super Four. But for miss equation They had to go back home.

The sixth match between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan of Asia Cup was extremely intense. Sri Lanka won this match by just 2 run. Afghanistan opening batsmen performance were poor with R. Gubaz scored 4 runs in 8 ball and I. Zardan scored only 7 run in 14 balls. Their performance was disappointing but the next players played pretty well. Sri Lanka bowled brilliantly as they got out the team with 289 run. It is a tough match for Afghanistan. Best of luck to Sri Lanka in the next matches.

Today Bangladesh vs Pakistan first match. I think Pakistan team is stronger then Bangladesh team. But it is true Bangladesh team now playing well. Their standard of play has improved a lot now. So i think we will see a competitive match Today.

Today match is also very interesting between PAK and BAN. This match is too competitive for both teams because both are strong and have a potential to this match. Hope both team perform well in this match.

Quote

My Prediction Pakistan and India will play Asia Cup final and Pakistan will win the match and they will Champion. For accurate result we have to wait till 17 September.

Hopefully your prediction will be right. Pakistan will win final Asia Cup but this is not a easy task If the final is against India then both teams have a 50-50 chance.

Win or loss is part of the game, The main thing is how you play and how much your performance improved from previous game. Afghanistan team played very tough class game especially Muhammad nabi with the bat who gives hope to Afghanistan team that they can do it. overall performance was too good from both sides. I am not satisfied with Afghanistan bowling, they gives lot of extra runs in last three overs when Srilanka, 7 wickets was already bowled.

Now the super stage is going to start and the first game will be played in Lahore tomorrow between Pakistan and Bangladesh. Pakistan has tough class bowling and batting also improved and Bangladesh also got big victory against Afghanistan and still in good form. I am predicting that Pakistan will be win tomorrow match after tough match.

I agree with your views partially because few things are surely good but still Afghanistan needs to be better and supportive mind if they want to win matches from here now they have history of losing matches like these with they almost achieve their best and have fair enough chance to qualify for the Super Four as well but suddenly due to lack of communication and poor understanding they lost this match.

I was reading statement from the coach Jonathan Trott, and he accepts this mistake they were not well aware about run-rate, so they lost the chance of qualification and match as well Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi are well experienced players with have good time in different leagues they also need to check few things for the better results, but they were completely out of the mind which give them big shock hopefully now they will learn from their mistakes and have better results in coming games with better mind-set.

Nabi basically changed the scoreboard for Afghanistan but sadly nobody could have imagined that Afghanistan would lose by two runs in the last minute. But one thing is very important if Rashid Khan was on strike at the end and could have batted with a single off the last ball of the over then maybe Afghanistan could have won the match. Fazlhaq Farooqui and Mujeeb Ur Rahman, two inexperienced batsmen, were the reason behind Afghanistan's defeat in yesterday's match with consecutive wickets collecting Golden Ducks.

LOL.. so according to you, the reason why Afghanistan lost yesterday was due to the fact that the no.10 (Mujeeb Ur Rahman) and no.11 (Fazalhaq Farooqi) batsmen couldn't score runs? What about the openers, who scored 11 runs from 22 balls? IMO, the super-slow batting from Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran put them in a spot of bother early on. Don't forget that in order to qualify, they needed to chase the target from 37.1 overs (at more than 7 runs per over). The slow batting from the openers derailed their chase early on.

Overall, I also believe in the old school of thought, where bowler's main job is to win matches with the ball and they shouldn't be blamed at all if they fail to score runs.

Having said that, in modern cricket, dynamics have changed and new realities demand one extra skill from each player. For example; We expect WK to be good with the bat, previously that wasn't the case. Similarly, Bowlers need to pick up another skill as well. No one asking them to bat like a top order but they should be capable enough to strike a ball or at least rotate a strike.

Another fine example is look at the Indian WC squad. Chahal is a fine wrist spinner in White ball cricket but he didn't make it into the squad. On the other hand, Shardul (alright bowler/golden arm) and Axar (above average) got in because they know how to bat.

*Not bringing part time bowling skills from the specialist batters in this discussion atm, which is also very important.

That was exceptional from AFG, the way they have batted was not expected by many. Nabi played a gem of an innings. Unfortunately for AFG, I think, they don't know that after 37.1 overs if they hit a six in the next three balls, they would still qualify.

It was a really great match for the fans, never expected Afghanistan to come this close and once they reached touching distance, i expected them to win the match, one hell of a knock by Mohammad Nabi and the rest of the tail enders chips in with crucial knocks but disappointed when they could not win the match even with plenty of overs to spare even if you ignore the qualification aspect.

This was one of the best fight from Afghanistan for the place of Super Four but sadly due to inexperienced and some poor strategy they fail to achieve this historical win and lost match and place in top four Rashid Khan on crease, and they completely lost this all which is really poor day in this game for them now in last ten ODI matches they lost eight and won only two matches against Bangladesh which is the lowest level for them hopefully now they will learn from their mistakes and try to gain confidence in coming days because with this performance most chances they will be having no place into top eight teams in world cup.

Mohammad Nabi is surely quality all-rounder and his today's performance was one of the best from this player now they need to work on batting and fast bowling as well because they are doing good in 30 overs from spinners, but other twenty overs are hurting them badly even cause of their defeats as well.

Bangladesh is taking the field against Pakistan today (September 6) in the first match of the Super Four in the fight for supremacy in South Asia. The match will start at 3:30 pm Bangladesh time at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. The Super Four mission of the Tigers will begin with the match against the Green Men with the aim of reaching the final of the Asia Cup. Team Tigers is not getting Nazmul Hossain Shanto, who is in great form in this Super Four match. This tiger batsman, who spread light with the bat against Sri Lanka and Afghanistan, has been knocked out of the entire tournament due to injury. However, opener Liton Das returned to the team instead. Liton was not in the first two matches due to viral fever. Bangladesh is lagging behind in the overall statistics against Pakistan. Shakib Bahini has played 37 ODIs against The Man in Green so far. Out of this, 32 defeats were won in just five matches. So today's match is very important for Bangladesh team, we cricket fans definitely want Bangladesh to win today's match on Pakistan soil.

IMO, Afghanistan waited for too long before going on with the attack. Their openers wasted a lot of overs, and only when Mohammad Nabi came to the crease they regained momentum. But he hardly got any support from the other end, and Afghanistan was losing wickets at regular intervals, although Karim Janat and Najibullah Zadran made quick runs. In the end, all the blame fell on the two tailenders (Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Fazalhaq Farooqi). IMO, first and foremost the blame should be put on Afghan management, who failed to properly communicate with the players.

Afghanistan losing the match against Sri Lanka was a big surprise to me as well. I would say Nabi and Rashid Khan did everything that is required to get Afghanistan into the Super 4. At the end of the match, the disappointment of missing out by just 2 runs was showing on the face of Rashid Khan. Another disappointment was Mendis unable to reach his century, while other Srilankan batters were struggling against the Afghan bowling attack, he was quietly playing his part. It was indeed an exciting and close ODI match that we watched yesterday in this tournament. We all were expecting the India vs Pakistan match to deliver the same level of excitement and close ending. We couldn't due to the frustrating rain but we got the same amount of adrenaline rush yesterday.

The first match of Asia Cup Super Four will be played today between Pakistan vs Bangladesh. Where Pakistan is the hot favorite team, they will play at their own ground. Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Harris Rauf will not be so easy to handle their bowling for Bangladesh where teams like India were defeated. Today's match is very challenging for Bangladesh. Last match's centurion and inform batsman Nazmul Hasan Shanto will not be able to play today's match due to injury. Miraz is no longer a regular opening batsman. On the other hand it is heard that Liton Das will play today's match but there is no guarantee that he will play the match. 10-15 over Pakistan bowlers which Bangladeshi batsmen will handle? Today's toss will be key. Those who won the toss and will bat first have more benefit of winning. 10 times out of 14 matches since 22nd in Lahore the toss is expected to be the key today as whoever bats first has won. When playing on a flat pitch the pitch is ruined so whoever wins the toss decides to bat first.

Afghanistan's batting batted in T20 style in yesterday's match, as the pitch was a batting pitch. Mohammad Nabi's batting strike rate was 200+. Afghanistan's target was to win in 37.1 overs to secure the qualifiers. Rashid Khan hit 3 boundaries in the 37th over. Afghanistan could have qualified for the Super Fours if they could have won by 3 runs in 1 ball, Mujib was on strike and he got out with that ball. Afghanistan eventually lost. Afghanistan knocked out of Asia Cup. Bangladesh and Sri Lanka qualified for Super Fours from Group B.

I can't believe that Afghanistan lost this match. Afghanistan team batsman Mohammad Nabi batted well. He got out with 65 runs in 32 balls. If one more batsman could have batted well like Mohammad Nabi, Afghanistan could have won this match. Sri Lanka team players in this match. Many were worried when Mohammad Nabi got out and left the field then they got their focus back on the game. If Mohammad Nabi scored a few more runs Afghanistan could have won the match. But the players of both the teams tried hard to win the match. Among them Sri Lanka team Succeeded after many attempts to win.

I saw a lot of people blaming the two tailenders yesterday (Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Fazalhaq Farooqi). But you need to remember that the top order failed for Afghanistan and that is the reason why they couldn't qualify. Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran scored 11 runs between them, in 22 balls. And this was a match where they were required to score the winning runs (292) from just 37.1 overs to qualify. Everyone else managed to score at more than a run per ball (Mohammad Nabi had strike rate of 203), but by then it was too late.

Yes, when two top-order Afghanistan batsmen walked out early, a gloom fell over the match as Sri Lanka's chances of victory were assumed before starting the match. But in middle order and low order we see some change. When Mohammad Nabi was batting he looked like he was batting on a T20 pitch and when Rashid Khan was batting it was the same situation also Karim Janat and Najibullah Zadran moving in the same way. If they could have played for some time then the match could have been easily won but that was not the case. In the end they lost only 2 runs in the match with 13 overs to spare. I think they lost this match due to lack of experience. But the spectators enjoyed the match

Afghanistan team played very tough class game especially Muhammad nabi with the bat who gives hope to Afghanistan team that they can do it. overall performance was too good from both sides. I am not satisfied with Afghanistan bowling, they gives lot of extra runs in last three overs when Srilanka, 7 wickets was already bowled.

Now the super stage is going to start and the first game will be played in Lahore tomorrow between Pakistan and Bangladesh. Pakistan has tough class bowling and batting also improved and Bangladesh also got big victory against Afghanistan and still in good form. I am predicting that Pakistan will be win tomorrow match after tough match.

Pakistan is the favourite. Pakistan's fast bowling attack is one of the best in the world. If Bangladesh openers see off the first power play, they can post a good total on the board. And Babar and Imam are key wickets if they want to restrict Pakistan to a low total.

The tide of Afghanistan came to the shore. The Afghans had to solve a complex equation to qualify for the Super Four. The target of 292 runs given by the Lankans had to be achieved in 37.1 overs. At one time, Afghanistan was almost on the verge of solving that equation. The equation of Super Four certainty said that Afghanistan needed 3 runs from 1 ball to enter the last four. At one end of the wicket was an experienced cricketer like Najibullah Zadran. Rashid Khan was supporting him at the other end. There were two wickets in hand. But the Afghans had to give up their dream of playing in the Super Four despite standing in a strong fear of victory built by Mohammad Nabi, Karim Janat and Hashmatullah Shahidi. Afghanistan's Asia Cup mission ended in one-ball loss.

Today will be played, the last match of the group stage of Asia Cup Sri Lanka vs. Afghanistan. If Sri Lanka wins this match, they can directly play in the Super Four. If Afghanistan wants to play in the Super Four, Afghanistan will have to win by a huge margin. Sri Lanka is a strong team, so it is very difficult for Afghanistan to win against Sri Lanka by a big margin. Currently, Afghanistan is not in good form. These two teams Bangladesh and Sri Lanka will qualify to play in the Super Four from Group B.

The 6th Match of the Asia Cup Between Sirlanka and Afghanistan started in Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Sirlanka won the toss and decided to bat first That was a good decision because Sirlanka set a big total for Afghanistan then its difficult to chase down. Sirlanka current score is 28 runs in 4.2 overs without any loss of wickets. Pathum Nissanka is playing at 5 runs in 7 balls and Dimuth Karunaratne is playing 13 runs in 14 balls if the Partnership between these 2 players is more than 50 plus then Sirlanka set a target of 270 plus runs in 50 overs. Afghanistan net run rate is negative so Afghanistan chased down the Target in 36 overs to qualify for the Super Four of the Asia Cup

Currently, the score is 86/3 in 16.5 Overs, with this run rate and wickets in hand, SL can give a good total. Let's see what Rashid Khan has to offer in this match. If SL posted a total of 275 or above, I think AFG's chances to qualify for Super 4 will be over. At the moment chances of either team winning are 50-50.
I am seeing the final of the Asia Cup between PAK and IND.

What a match Hard luck Afghanistan. Sirlinka won the match by 2 runs and qualified for the Super Four of the Asia Cup. Afghanistan chased down the target of 292 in 37.1 overs and last ball they needed 3 runs but Mujeeb was out Now they hit a six in 37.4 overs to 295 runs for quality but unfortunately bowled out the team 289 runs. I think Afghanistan did not know if he hit a six in the next 3 balls he would qualify for the Super Four. Rashid Khan played 27 runs unbeaten If Afghanistan player Mujeeb had not played badly short and given a strike to Rashid Khan then there would have been a good chance to win this match and qualify for Super Four.
