Bangladesh is getting demolished by Pakistan at the moment. Their score was way too low to begin with thanks to bad performances by most batsmen while their bowlers aren't able to do much.
Imam and Rizwan scored half the runs themselves. Very bad performance by the Bongs in literally every department. Predictable encounter!
The pitch was not bowling friendly. A target of 193 runs was not enough to win on this pitch. If Bangladesh had scored like 280 then the match would have been very competitive. Since the target was very low, Pakistan's batsmen batted very cautiously. The batsmen are not in a hurry. Even then they lost three wickets. Mohammad Rizwan and Imam Ul Haque batted well in this match. Pakistan bowlers Haris Rouf and Naseem Shah also picked up 7 wickets. These two bowlers bowled brilliantly. And because of their excellent performance, they were able to stop the Bangladesh team within just 192 runs.
In this match Bangladesh team could have scored 250 runs if they had batted full 50 overs. But before reaching the moment, all the wickets fell in just 38 overs. There is no option but to send a lofty target to fight against the Pakistan team who currently ranked first in the ODI rankings. It was a foregone conclusion that Bangladesh would lose but if they could have scored a few more runs it would have been a very competitive game. For example, there was a match between Afghanistan and Sri Lanka which really managed to give the audience a lot of joy and excitement.
Seriously bro, today's match of Bangladesh disappointed me a lot, the batsmen batted responsibly in the previous match, today was the complete opposite. Pakistan's bowlers have also contributed to this as Pakistan's bowlers are currently showing a very strong performance.
However, the confidence that Bangladesh did in the next match by winning against Afghanistan, I thought that they can win today's match on the strength of that confidence, but in reality it did not happen.
Miraz, who had an excellent performance by scoring a century in the last match, returned to the pavilion after scoring a golden duck today. Among the responsible ones, Shakib Al Hasan has batted a bit responsibly and everyone else has done badly. I expected something better from Liton Das as well. I was very relieved to see him back in the team and he couldn't do anything either. Anyway congratulations to Pakistan team for the next stage.
