It was supposed to be a great match between Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka but I was shocked by Bangladesh's performance. In the past the Asia Cup saw a big fight between these two teams, so it was expected by all. You may have seen the match that the bowling side of Bangladesh was very deadly but the batting side did not perform well. Bangladesh should have saved the early wickets and Sri Lanka would have been under pressure but Sri Lanka bowling side was good and they attacked the weak line.

I too was expecting a good match between these two teams. I never expected that the Bangladesh side would not be able to reach 200. In a tournament you are expected as a team to outperform your opponents, still after winning the toss and selecting to bat first if you can only score 164 runs that means you are one of the worst team. I would love to see Bangladesh playing against Nepal. It is a possibility that Nepal might defeat Bangladesh and win their first match in the Asia cup after watching them play yesterday.

Day after tomorrow we as a cricket fan would be seeing the two biggest rivals playing against each other after the T20 world cup. Pakistan middle order had outperformed when they played against Nepal. That does not mean they will be able to repeat their performance against India. ODI match between these two teams is all about the amount of pressure a player is able to take and the ability to outperform their own performance. Major concern for India is its middle order and uncertain opening pair. Last couple of matches their lower middle order has always performed well. Bowling is not an issue as India has some of the best bowler in the world in this side.

Bangladesh is a strong team but that is only in their own country.Bangladesh is a common team abroad especially in big tournaments we have never seen good performance from them. Before the start of the Asia Cup, Bangladesh was one of the favorites in the Asia Cup but it was only when Bangladesh took the field against Sri Lanka in the first match of the Asia Cup that Bangladesh showed its true form. While Bangladesh is considered a formidable opponent in ODI cricket, Bangladesh were bowled out for just 164 runs in 42 overs while Sri Lanka secured an easy 5-wicket victory over Bangladesh with 10 overs in hand. I can challenge you to say that nothing good can ever be expected from Bangladesh and Bangladesh will never be able to show anything good. Bangladesh will always be a flop team in major cricket tournaments.

Never expected Bangladesh to play so badly against Srilanka. Pathirana I guess was exceptionally good yesterday. The fielding of Srilankan players were spot on. They were able to suffocate Bongs batter from the first over. 164 is not an ideal target for a ODI and that too in a tournament. Srilankan batters were not that good too, it was evident they were struggling on that pitch. It took them 39 overs and 5 wickets to chase such a small target.

Well.. Sri Lanka no longer have Sanath Jayasuriya, Mahela Jayawardene or Kumar Sangakkara in their batting lineup. They are dependent on players like Dimuth Karunaratne and Kusal Mendis. And actually the Bangladeshis bowled well yesterday. Shakib al Hasan returned figures of 10-2-29-2. If other spinners such as Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Mahedi Hasan had given a bit more support from the other end, then the outcome would have been much closer. Anyway, these two are the strongest teams in Group B, and it is going to be a big challenge for Afghanistan to secure qualification to Super-4.

Finally, The second match of the Asia Cup is finished. Bangladesh won the toss and chose to bat first against Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka's bowling is the best bowling ever they out all the players of Bangladesh, and Bangladesh scored 164 with full of struggle. Sri Lanka beat this score easily.

Projected score for Bangladesh is 193 at this RR. They need an upward momentum now if they want to win this match. I feel next five overs are crucial for the Bongs. They have to form a partnership and also work on in rease the run rate. The match is being controlled by the Srilankan bowlers for now and the situation looks quite bad for Bangladesh. My opinion is that Bangladesh need to give a target of 250 and above most probably 280ish, if they cannot then this match would be easily won by Srilankan team.

Sri Lankan's regular bowlers out of action. However, their young and less experienced bowling side put a commendable performance so far. Sri Lanka seems to be in high spirits at the moment, while Bangladesh is facing a tough situation. Bangladesh batting lineup is struggling, and there aren't many batters left to continue their innings. Looks like it's just a matter of time before they get all out. Their batting performance has been quite disappointing, but can their bowlers create a challenge? We'll have to wait and see.

update - Ban all out 164/10

My opinion this is a game totally dominated by the Srilankan team. I knew this would happen as Srilankans are very strong on their homeground. If Bong boys can utilise the pitch when they bowl, that would be amazing. As per my understanding Bong bowlers are not that good for the time. Still, I think this game is evenly poised for now. What bongs do next is what I am looking, according to me they won't.be able to defend the the target.

In Group B there is no big difference between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka team but according to the ranking Bangladesh team is better than Sri Lanka but the performance of Bangladesh team is not consistent. Bangladesh team had a very bad performance in today's match. They won the toss and elected to bat but the match was almost certain to lose. A weak site of the Bangladesh team is their inability to chase. If they had won the toss and decided to chase in today's match, there would have been a chance to win the match. In this group, according to earlier assumption, Sri Lanka is the best.

Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka

In group B the best and awaiting match is going on. Bangladesh lost top class wickets earlier. shakibul hassan catched on 5. Shanto is doing terrific job here and he is only in to score fifty and could able his team to score 250+. 32 over gone and Bangali tigers has score 132 which is not enough to put pressure. Mushfiqur and Shanto should perform like Babar and Iftikhar did it yesterday. Now it's time to rise the run rate and start with the boundaries. If BAN able to score around 250 then I believe that match will be tough.

Only Najmul Hossain Shanto has played well for Bangladesh and played for a long time. But he is the only one who has played more than 20 overs but his runs are very less accordingly but he deserves a lot of credit as he is the only one who collected good runs for Bangladesh today. The target of 164 runs given by Bangladesh is not very strong because the way Sri Lanka are playing it seems that they can surpass this target given by Bangladesh. Sri Lanka have only played 20 overs so far and they have scored 90 runs and lost only 3 wickets so they have a lot of chances to win the match today.

LOL!

You don't need any opinion or suggestions as in to which team will win today. It is very much clear that Srilankan team have dominated the first half. Whereas the Bangladesh squad fail to deliver what they were supposed to do. Inthe end home factor is indeed favouring the Srilankan team.

As the Sri Lankan team kept Bangladesh under pressure from the bowling side. Bangladesh team started losing wickets from the power play and Bangladesh team could not collect any runs from the pressure of the wicket. I think it will not be possible to compare this run rate with Sri Lanka in any way because the batting performance of the Sri Lankan team is very strong. This Bangladesh's very poor performance today has shocked me as I bet for Bangladesh. In this way, if Bangladesh starts losing wickets, they will not be able to complete 170 runs. However, to keep the Sri Lankan team under pressure from Bangladesh's bowling side, the game must be full of competition.

Disastrous for Bangladesh. Shakib al Hasan just got out to the bowling of Matheesha Pathirana. They are about to review it, but I believe that the catch was taken cleanly by the keeper. Now Bangladesh is at 36/3 and they are really struggling against the Lankan bowlers. Pathirana strikes in his very first over by removing the most dangerous batsmen in Bangladesh playing XI. The pitch seems to be giving a lot of support for both the pace and spin bowlers, and Bangladesh needs a pair of batsmen who could dig in and battle it out for a while.

After winning the toss the opting to bat first is not going good for Bangladesh. The have lost both of their openers and now everything depends on how Shakib bats in this match. Yesterday Pakistan were in the same situation but Babar Azam changed the game. Expecting the same performance by Bangladeshi captain. It is not that easy to play against Srilanka in their home. We can already see how well the spinners are bowling on that pitch. I think Bangladeshi bowlers would benefit from pitch when they bowl in the second innings.

What do you guys think would an ideal target for Srilanka? Who will win today's match? Do share your thoughts.

If a team's opening partnership is not good then that team becomes a bit difficult to target the other team. Bangladesh lost their wicket early in the innings. So Bangladesh's decision to bat after winning the toss was wrong? Bangladesh's innings is now progressing slowly. Shakib and Shanto are currently batting at the crease. These two have to form a big partnership otherwise Bangladesh will be unable to make their innings bigger. Although Bangladesh has a more experienced player Mushfiq. And there is a young batsman Tawhid Hridoy. If Bangladesh continue to bat without losing any wicket, their run will be 260+. But if they keep losing wickets like this,Sri Lanka will bowl out Bangladesh before 200 runs.

Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Today's match Bangladesh has come to bat in the first innings in Sri Lanka's ground. Bangladesh have already lost a wicket and they are under a lot of pressure, the fall of wickets at the start of the game does not bode well for the team at all. However, Bangladesh will definitely bat well against Sri Lanka to win today's match. Although Sri Lanka has a chance to win today's match, if Bangladesh plays well, it will be difficult for Sri Lanka to win the match. And if Bangladesh improves today's game, then it is definitely possible to win the match against Sri Lanka, because now Bangladesh batsmen have got many wickets in hand, so they have to hold the game till the end. If Bangladesh can score 300 plus runs in today's match then it will be difficult to win the match against Sri Lanka. At this time, Bangladesh's batting performance should be improved, Bangladesh has now collected 11 rams, losing 1 wicket in 4 overs.

Bangladesh on the toss and elected to bat first

Bangladesh won the toss and decided to bat against Sri Lanka. As the wicket was a little dry, it was a good decision to win the toss and decide to bat. After the toss, when Sri Lankan captain Dasun Shanaka was asked what he would have done if he had won the toss, the Sri Lankan captain said that if he had won the toss, he would have decided to bat first. Bangladesh has decided to bat first in order to be ahead in terms of runs because there is some possibility of rain today in Sri Lanka where the match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka will be held. Three first bowlers and three spin bowlers Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have lined up the XI against Bangladesh with 6 batsmen three all-rounders and three bowlers.

Do you think Nepalese batters would be able to chase the target? If you think they cannot then how many runs would they be able to chase?

When Pakistan gave a huge target yesterday I knew at the time that Nepal was unable to chase down this huge target and a 99.99% chance Nepal failed to chase this target. The performance of Pakistan's overall team was brilliant as well as the batting and bowling. The starting batting of Nepal was good but it disappointed me because the team was out at 104 runs and almost 25 overs were left for batting. If we look at the score summary the performance of Babar Azam and Iftikhar Ahmed was incredible both made century. Other hand bowling dashboard Shadab Khan's bowling was quite surprising because he took 4 wickets against the Nepal Team. Victory always goes to one team and Congratulations Pakistan for winning the First ODI match I am very exciting for 2nd Match between Pak vs Ind
