Bangladesh did struggle at the start of the match because no one can handle Pakistani bowlers. But now, they managed to score because of Shakib Al Hassan and Mushfiqur Rahim. Anyways, The Pakistan bowling is amazing, especially Haris Rauf. What an amazing bowling from Haris Rauf in today's match. Now, Bangladesh's batting is good and can help win for Bangladesh.

Bangladesh vs Pakistan match has started . Bangladesh win the toss and decided batting.Bangladesh's bastmen are not able to focus on the hair of the Pakistani bowler and they have lost two wickets for 31 run.M.Hasan have been dismissed on the first ball and their dismissal on the first ball has had a very negative effect on the rest of the batsmen. S . Afraid has taken one wicket in four over and N. Shah has taken one wicket in three over Bangladesh. Bangladesh bastman are not able to focus on the hair of Pakistan fast bowlers due to which they are batting very nervously.
Bangladesh team came out to bat and scored 72 runs in 15 overs. So far Bangladesh team has lost 4 wickets. Mohammad Naim is out for 20 runs in 25 balls. Mehidy Hasan Miraz is out for 0 runs in 1 ball. Litton Das is out for 16 runs in 13 balls. Out. Towhid Hridoy is out for 2 runs in 9 balls. It seems that Bangladesh team will not score much runs today. But there is a possibility of Bangladesh team getting all out today. Shakib Al Hasan is batting now if he can score 50 runs then maybe Bangladesh team Can give good run target. Pakistan team is very strong and everyone does not think today Pakistan team will be able to fight against Bangladesh team's openers and win.

Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib Al Hasan are trying to rebuild the innings. The 5th wicket partnership is now 26 runs and they are looking comfortable against the Pakistani bowlers, especially Faheem Ashraf and Shadab Khan. The Pakistani captain should have persisted with Haris Rauf for some more time, as he gave them the breakthroughs (he was replaced with the spinner Shadab). This partnership is looking dangerous and they need to break it before both of the batsmen take the game away from them. Anything above 250 will be tricky to chase at the Gaddafi Stadium.

Bangladesh's batting performed very poorly today. Pakistan's bowling line and batting line are better than Bangladesh. Pakistan's bowling looks stronger at home. So far Bangladesh has collected 65 runs in 13 overs losing four wickets. Bangladesh is under pressure after losing important 4 wickets. Bangladesh batting looks like it will not be able to score 250+ runs. Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim are on strike, if both of them bat well Bangladesh will have a chance to score well. Bangladesh have to target 300+ runs to win against Pakistan. It will be very difficult for Bangladesh to win today. Pakistan's chances of winning are high.

The 7th match of the Asia Cup and the first match of the Super Four round between Pakistan and Bangladesh has started at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat first that seems not a good decision because early 4 wickets walls down of Bangladesh in just 51 runs in 11 overs. Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah picked up 1, 1 wicket and Haris Rouf picked up 2 wickets by just giving 6 runs in an over. Bangladesh is in deep trouble because they lost their 4 main Bateman Now Shakib and Mushfiqur Rahim are playing. If the Partnership between Shakib and Mushfiqur is more than 100 then Bangladesh reach a good 230 plus total. Pakistan has top batting Imam ul Haq, Fakhar and Babar Azam who have the ability to chase down the 250 plus target.
September 06, 2023, 05:40:06 AM
Bangladesh seems to be in big trouble. They are at 47/4 after 9.3 overs. Haris Rauf picked up two quick wickets and Bangladesh slipped from 45/2 to 47/4. Now Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim are at the crease. But if they lose one more wicket, then they will be in deep trouble. On top of that, Pakistan batsmen are in top form. If Bangladesh makes a total of less than 250, then they stand no chance in this match. Also, we need to see how the Bangladeshi batsmen perform, once the Pakistani spinners start with their spells.
We all know that Pakistani bowlers now on the top .They alway have a strong bowling line up but it is serious collapse once again by Bangladesh .I think they we won’t be able to back on the track .Bangladesh are still now are surviving on the batting line up and they don’t have their most valuable player Mahmudullah Riyad .I think he is 01 man army when Bangladesh fall into the trap in past .I don’t get about the strategy why they didn’t keep a batsman like him .I think its really tough today to reach 200 nevertheless its a heaven pitch for batters .Bangladesh team still showing immaturity after palaying for many years .Now world no 1 all rounder Shakib on the batting let's have some hope that he carry and pull the runs towards 200 though its impossible to win for them .They need to do more hard work cause World Cup is knocking at the door right after Asia cup .

This is the usual pattern when it comes to Afghanistan. They play really well till the end and somehow screw up at the end which is how the opponents usually end up winning. New chokers of cricket.
Mujeeb should have rotated the strike and made sure that he didn't hit the wicket by himself so that Rashid could finish the job.
Sri Lanka barely scrapped their way to the top-4, but we all know that India vs Pakistan will probably be the final match which almost everyone wants to see.

It was a tricky situation. Ideally Mujeeb Ur Rahman should have taken a single and then give strike to Rashid Khan. But he was thinking that he need to hit 4 runs from 1 ball, and therefore went for a boundary. If he had knowledge of the equations, then he would have rotated the strike without any doubt. After the match, Afghan coach was blaming the match officials. But then, I don't think that it is the duty of the match officials to inform the players about the different scenarios. Those things the players need to do among themselves.
Sithara007, It was definitely not the fault of the match officials. It was the fault of the Afghanistan players. They have to keep an eye out for every equation. But they were unable to do so. And now they cannot blame anyone else for that. I absolutely am going to blame them because if they could hit a six they would have actually had a chance. But they failed to do so. So now they cannot blame anyone else for their failure. They have to take some accountability and realize that they did not perform well in this tournament. They should understand where they made mistakes, and they should also try to improve in the next tournament.

Bangladesh team batted at the beginning of the game but did not perform well. The fall of two wickets has put Bangladesh under a lot of pressure because if the wicket falls in the power play, it will be very difficult to survive the field till the last. Liton Das has been added to the squad but today he has scored 16 runs off 13 balls and is a threat for the Bangladesh team. Because Liton Das could not take the place of Nazmul Hasan Shanto, even though he was added instead of Nazmul Hasan Shanto. So I think Bangladesh team will lose in the last stage if they don't perform well against Pakistan today. Because Pakistan team's batting line and bowling line are stronger than Bangladesh.

Your information is not correct Pakistan's bowlers are better than the Indian ones especially Shaheen Afridi because that guy is a truly awesome bowler and anyone plays against his bowls will have to face the hardest match of his life. I believe that the other bowlers of Pakistani team also do their best in matches and especially when it's against India because both have enmity from the beginnings. I think Sri Lankan team is also a little bit good but they aren't as good as Pakistani team. Although it would be underestimation if I say that Indian bowlers aren't good because they also play very well in the matches but it's a fact that Pakistani bowlers are a little better than the Indian ones.
Wrong. So much nonsense in a single post. ICC ODI rankings specify Siraj as one of the top bowlers while their test rankings specify Ashwin and Jadeja as some of the top bowlers which says a lot.Pakistan have many great bowlers these days, but they aren't really consistent. Do your research!
Well, that's according to the rankings of ICC but when you see the actual game from those teams then you'll see that whose bowlers perform better. I agree that Mohammad Siraj is a good bowler from Indian team and he's better than most other Indian bowler that you mentioned. But, Shaheen Afridi is also a dam good bowler and if you watch the game your self then you'll know better that how good he performs during matches. You're right some of the bowlers from Pakistan team aren't consistent but still we can't deny that they also have good bowlers in their squad.
Pakistan has always been a little inconsistent when it comes to big tournaments. But there have been some tournaments in which people did not expect Pakistan to win but they did. I feel like the Pakistan team is just not balanced enough, Or maybe they have a good balanced squad. It is just that they are not always performing consistently and that’s why we do not feel confident about them.
If we compare the Pakistan squad against India, I think it is safe to say that India is going to be a little bit better. But we can obviously not say that Pakistan is a bad squad. Honestly, I am not so sure because we did not see the match between India and Pakistan being played in the end. The match could have given us a good idea about them.

Pakistan VS India WC match ticket cost!
This is outrageous! BCCI and ICC needs to look into this issue. Cost of ticket for this match is more than cost of a decent car in India. There are a few individuals who actually might have paid such a hefty price for the tickets. That is why it got reported by the mainstream media.
BCCI deserves the blame for this, these fucks just don't care about the fans. In India ticket distribution and sale is a joke anyway, as far as Indian matches in WC or IPL marquee matches are concerned. In an ideal situation, tickets should be available in the public domain for at least 6 months before the WC so that fans can plan everything in advance. This is outrageous! BCCI and ICC needs to look into this issue. Cost of ticket for this match is more than cost of a decent car in India.

There are rumours that Indian team might be wearing jersey with the new name Bharat in the world cup rather than India. There are chances that the Indian team would be know as Bharat team or Team Bharat after the Indian government special session of Parliament concludes.
Virtually zero chance!No rumors but incredible dump speculation from the TRP hungry media and cheer leaders in social media, that's it.

Pakistan : Bangladesh
The match will start after one hour and Pakistan has ability to win because they have performed excellent in the previous matches. Pakistan has good bowling line like Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf are shining stars of Pakistani team. I really hope that Pakistan will win today's match.

Pakistan : Bangladesh
I am eagerly waiting to watch Bangladesh vs Pakistan match today. There is no doubt that Pakistan team is very strong. And I would say Pakistan has the best bowling line-up in the world right now. It is very difficult to stay at the crease against Pakistan bowlers. On the other hand, I will not say that the batsmen of Bangladesh are bad. However, their performance is not consistent. In the first match they collected only 166 runs against Sri Lanka, in the second match this team scored 334 runs. There is no telling how they will fare against Pakistan's bowlers. However, Bangladesh have less chance of scoring big against Pakistan bowlers.
Although Pakistan's batting line-up is quite good, Bangladesh's bowlers have been playing well in recent times. Shakib and Miraj are great spinners. On the other hand, Taskin, SHoriful and Hasan Mahmud are very good pace bowlers. And they are in good form. I think the match will be competitive. Although Pakistan is the favorite in this match.

This match is not all about winning for Afghanistan. There are a lot of maths in this match. Afghanistan has to win this match with 77 balls in hand which is 12 Overs and five balls. Afghanistan are already seven down and they still need 54 runs from 31 balls. It could have been easy if they had top-order batter on the crease. Sri Lanka have to bowl tight at this moment.
They might win the match but it won't be easy for them to win it with 77 balls in hand. Rashid Khan is the last recognized batter from Afghanistan who is in the crease right now. He is the last hope Afghanistan have. Interesting!
Afghanistan have lost the match scoring 289 runs losing every wicket even though there was more 74 balls left. This is really close and Afghanistan missed the opportunity as well as lost the match. At the end Rashid Khan played really well and the tail end bowlers weren't able to be successful against the srilankan bowlers.They might win the match but it won't be easy for them to win it with 77 balls in hand. Rashid Khan is the last recognized batter from Afghanistan who is in the crease right now. He is the last hope Afghanistan have. Interesting!
Can't think of any such fight by any team recently as Afghanistan fought hard to qualify but failed. They were unlucky at the end as they didn't knew the exact match situation.
By the way, people are talking about that they could still have won if they would have hit a six to finish the match, but even if they knew it, what if they were not able to hit the six. It was a tough target 🎯 for the Afghanistan team but still I love the way they fought.
With this , we enter in super 4, stage without Afghanistan.
September 06, 2023, 12:23:22 AM
There is a statement from Jonathan Trott (Afghanistan head coach). He is claiming that no one informed the team about the different permutations and combinations. All they knew is that they had to score the winning runs in 37.1 overs, or else they will be out of the Asia Cup. They were unaware of the other possibilities. In reality, it was still possible to qualify, if they had scored 297 runs by 38.1 overs (293 was needed for a win, but there is always a chance of scoring boundary with one more run needed). Anyway, Afghanistan need to take out positives from yesterday's match.
Every international team has a team analyst who works with the team. They always work with the calculations and analyze every match detail. I don't know who is the team analyst of Afghanistan. If they have one, what is the job of that guy? Even website commentators like Cricinfo and, Cricbuzz reported these things live. If most cricket analyst knows the equation, why not their team analyst?
Whatever, this was an awesome match to watch. Afghanistan played really well. I am not upset because of their loss. I am upset because they did not know the other equation. Fazal Haque Farooqi defended a full-toss ball that could have been a big six. All they needed was to hit a six in the next three balls from there.
September 06, 2023, 12:21:26 AM
You have to feel for Afghanistan, they played incredibly and with a lot of heart.
They were not just trying to win the match but they attempted to qualify with a better run rate and doing so lost the match. They needed to chase this target in 37.1/2 overs but luck wasn't on their side tonight. If qualification wasn't on the table then they were surely winning the match.
It was really sad to see Afghanistan play for the first time because Afghanistan tried so hard at the end but they came very close to win but failed to bring the equation in their favor in the end. Afghanistan didn't qualify In this case I want to put the full blame on Afghanistan team analyst who is there because 37.1 overs Afghanistan must win to qualify for semi-final of Asia Cup but Mujibur Rahman got out in 37.1 overs but still there was a chance for Afghanistan to qualify for next round. Had either of the next two balls hit a six, Afghanistan would have qualified for the next round, but Afghanistan's body language suggested they might not know the equation. The person who is the analyst may not have understood this equation due to which Afghanistan has to leave the Asia Cup with disappointment once again. They were not just trying to win the match but they attempted to qualify with a better run rate and doing so lost the match. They needed to chase this target in 37.1/2 overs but luck wasn't on their side tonight. If qualification wasn't on the table then they were surely winning the match.
