Congratulations Pakistan team, managed to win today's match brilliantly against Bangladesh by 7 wickets. Bangladesh today batting in the first innings did not collect good scores at all, and they batted worst and batsmen performance was very disappointing. However, Pakistan's bowling line-up was good today to bowl out Bangladesh for 204 before 50 overs. Due to this bad performance of Bangladesh, the batsmen of Pakistan team took advantage of that opportunity in today's match and won the match by 7 wickets after playing 32.3 overs. Fakhar Zaman made a great score for the Pakistan team today he batted brilliantly aiming for a century, but unfortunately he failed to complete the century and remained unbeaten on 81 runs. Abdullah Shafique also batted brilliantly for these two batsmen today Pakistan team won easily against Bangladesh without any trouble.
Pakistan's openers played very cautiously when they came down to bat against the target of 205 runs given by Bangladesh. Bangladesh bowling line is good. But today, as if no wicket was seen against Pakistan, the Tigers made a partnership of 128 runs between Pakistan's two openers, Fakhar Zaman and Abdullah Shafiq. After Pakistan's 128 runs, Bangladesh saw the first wicket. Pakistan won by seven wickets. If we look at the previous matches of Bangladesh then we can understand that Bangladesh was a batting disaster today also because of the batting disaster Bangladesh lost today's match too. Few players of Bangladesh played well only Shakib Al Hasan Mahmudullah Riyad Liton Das these three played fairly well if everyone played a little bit better Bangladesh could have won today's match.
I seriously can't understand how come Bongs are banking on Tanzid Hasan, who has less than 15 average and is also inexperienced in the ODI format.
Are people sitting at the top of management that incompetent or does this guy have some sort of hidden talent or something? or maybe there is a thing between Shakib or Tamim in the play?

LOL.. He scored 51 against India (in a match where he and Litton Das put up an opening partnership of 93 runs). But apart from that, his form has been horrible so far. Litton Das on the other hand has performed somewhat consistently and seems to be their best batsman. Even today he made 45 and rescued Bangladesh from complete annihilation. BTW, you are right about the animosity between the two senior players (Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal). When Tamim was dropped from the world cup squad, Shakib claimed that it was because he refused to bat at no.3 and this triggered a war of words between the two.

Skipper playing dumb charades with captaincy by leaving and making rounds into PM's office, this is a somewhat forgivable thing but not thinking about the team first is an unforgivable mistake. You surely don't deserve to be in the squad if you are so self centered.
Bangladesh sounds like already lost, they might even get all-out before 200. Pakistan will probably try to play aggresive and close the match early to get that extra NRR and keep their hopes alive for semis.
Bangladesh already lost the match in the first innings. I can guarantee you that no Bangladeshi fans expected a win against the remaining matches. We knew Bangladesh would lose the match. This can be considered the worst World Cup in Bangladesh cricket history. What a team it is and what a team it was a year ago. Mr. Hathuru destroyed everything along with Nazmul Hasan and Sakib al Hasan. The credit goes to them. They ignored experienced campaigners and tried several newbies in some positions and came to play the world cup with these newbies. The toy tigers are back in form again. Lords association Bangladesh branch is in a hot position.

Pakistan played very well in the first innings. Muhammad Wasim and Shaheen took three wickets. Wasim took middle-order wickets and Shaheen took openers wickets. Shadab Khan was injured in this match so we don’t see his spin but Iftikhar took the place of Shadab Khan. Fakhar Zaman played wonderfully, he hit too big six of 99 meters and that’s why he achieved the second third place in the group of biggest sixes of this World Cup.
It was the great bowling of the Pakistani team, due to which Pakistan were able to win this match.
As expected Bangladesh batting collapsed infront of Pakistani bowling attack. I still expected them to give a respectable target of 220 runs to the Pakistani batter, unfortunately they got all out before they could have even played their full 50 overs. It would be an easy task for Pakistani batters to chase 205 runs. Unless they do something different as and lose this match. If Pakistan wins today there is still some hope for them get into the semifinals. For Bangladesh it's the end of their World Cup journey.
Pakistan's target of 205 runs. The Bangladesh team lost one wicket after another. In the beginning they lost three wickets. Then I saw a great innings in the partnership of Mahmudullah Liton Das. It did not long. Liton Das had to go back to 45 runs off Iftekhar. Then Shakib Al Hasan paired with Mahmudullah. Shahenshah's brilliant delivery by Mahmudullah Kew had to go back to 56 runs. After that it was just a back and forth game. Bangladesh were all out in 45 overs. Bangladesh could not show any good performance in this World Cup. This run is not impossible for Pakistan.
They will be able to pull off the win with ease.

Pakistan 124 Runs without loss. The way Pakistan are batting, there is no chance of Pakistan getting wickets today. Abdullah Shafiq (68) and Fakhar Zaman (58) are unbeaten. However, if Pakistan could bat against Afghanistan in the same way as Pakistan is batting against Bangladesh, then Afghanistan would not have been defeated.
Wow what a beautiful comeback Pakistan made today.Especially most of the players in the Pakistan team were not in form but suddenly they came back to full form when they played Bangladesh today.One of the reasons is that Bangladesh team is very weak and their bowling batting is very bad.This World Cup is going in the worst way in the cricket history of Bangladesh.
The way Pakistan are playing today against Bangladesh, it looks like they will win without a wicket.If Pakistan should have played such games against other teams then good things could have been expected.Many expected Pakistan to at least make it to the semi-finals, but that didn't happen.

What the heck happened to Bangladesh today? They had a poor start but the middle order was able to gain some momentum. Next a few wickets are lost and the whole batting collapses. It is evident from the way Bangladesh has been playing in the World Cup is that they forgot how a 50 overs match work. They are already pathetic with five days game and now 50 overs match.
The bowling is much worse now, Alland Donald has not been able to get their seamers to the point where they were effective. They were far much better before he came in as a bowling coach. Next time they would end up in a similar fashion like West Indies have ended.

Bangladesh's team collection is currently 201 runs for nine wickets.It's really inconsistent.In this World Cup, Bangladesh is the only team that constantly presents low scoring matches to the visitors.Credit to Pakistani bowlers today especially Shahensha Afridi bowled brilliantly today.Today Bangladesh may not be able to score too many runs, Pakistan will definitely win against Bangladesh today.

Which team do you think would take the 4th place on the point table of the World Cup? There are two on my mind either it will be Australia or it will be Afghanistan. Both the teams had a bad start but they both are now winning matches against some of the best teams. They have placed a simple strategy and it is working for example Afghanistan is now only looking to chase.
We can never accept that Afghanistan was able to beat teams like England, Pakistan and Sri Lanka in several matches, but they lost by a huge margin against Bangladesh. However, Afghanistan will not be able to accept this defeat easily as they have beaten a much better team than Bangladesh while they have lost with Bangladesh. That Bangladesh could not win a single match except Afghanistan. Bangladesh team will not be able to win any other match. 
2023 World Cup Bangladesh started with a win in their first match but the Tigers couldn't sustain the streak. Today, Bangladesh will play against Pakistan. They have played 6 of their 7th matches, out of which they have lost all five and won only one, that too against Afghanistan. 2023 World Cup is Bangladesh's worst performance. The players of Bangladesh know that they are unable to overcome the sadness of failure. We wish all the best to the Bangladesh team as they take on Pakistan today. They should play at least 50 overs against Pakistan. Bangladesh's batting disaster was earlier. But I have never seen when one wicket falls, all the wickets go in quick succession. If Bangladesh can't bat well against Pakistan then they will have to lose today's match as they have lost five matches. We who are Bangladeshi cricket fans definitely want Bangladesh not to look back. Today's match against Pakistan should be played well at least. We can comfort our hearts that Bangladesh has turned around.
This match has started on the pitch and Bangladesh perform their batting lineup in field. In first over of this match, Shaheen took down he wicket of T.Hasan batsmen in last ball of his over with 0 runs. Now, Bangladesh team has batted 5 overs and they scored 10 runs only and they also lost one more wicket of Shanto batsman. This wickets also taken by Shaheen after he scoring 4 runs from 3 balls with one 4s. Now Bangladesh looks in a very bad condition with lot of pressure on their entire team. If Pakistan is performed like this and they will successfully got winning and move up on points table.

Today we will see both Pakistan and Bangladesh playing against each other to gain a position on the point table. Pakistan has to win today otherwise it won't be easy for them to qualify for the semifinals. After getting defeated by the Netherlands I think the Bangladesh team needs to look into their batting. Considering both the teams I think Pakistan is far better and the favourite to win today.

After the victory against Afghanistan, the Tigers lost four matches in a row. Then the match against the Netherlands to keep the hope alive was the last leg of the victory home return. But that hope also turned into disappointment. Shakib Bahini did not care about the Netherlands. The red and green team confirmed their departure from the World Cup with a shameful loss. Also lost every match by a big margin. One after another defeat, Bangladesh suffered a shock in the dream of going to the semi-finals. The dream is over for him. If nothing major happens, there is little chance of making it to the semi-finals. However, captain Shakib Al Hasan had already confirmed that he would be in number five or six even if he could not go to the semis. And if they want to keep that position then there is no option for Bangladesh to win against Pakistan in the next match. Today, the Tigers will face each other at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.The match will start at 2:30 PM. However, Team Tigers will enter the field in the eleventh in the hope of winning against Pakistan. There is a possibility of change in the opening. However, Mehdi Hasan Miraj can be seen opening in the XI.
