I agree with you’ll as Pakistan tackled the situation very well, and instead of playing risky shots they played slow and steady cricket. Lastly Pakistan have scored 282 runs and they yet have three more overs left, therefore I believe that they can easily reach 300 runs and I also doubt that Netherland’s will be able to chase this big target against their strong bowling lineup.

Anyone watching the Netherlands vs Pakistan ODI match? The Dutch had an excellent start, and at one point Pakistan were struggling at 18/1 after 8 overs. But then Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam started smashing the Dutch bowlers all around the park. Imam-ul-Haq really strugled and went back to the pavilion after making 2 runs from 19 balls. This match is a part of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League, but the outcome doesn't matter anymore. Pakistan has already qualified to the world cup, and Netherlands doesn't have any chance of staying in top-8.
Pakistan has a very strong squad now. They started slowly, but now they are in the front seat of the match. The score was only 74 runs after the end of 21 overs. But, the score is 159 runs now after 29 overs. Probably Pakistan will score above 300 runs and it will be enough there to win against Netherlands. Pakistan will get the 4th rank in the World Cup Super League table if they win today. Netherlands is at the bottom of the table with two victories only.Pakistan - Netherlands
I was quite surprised by Pakistan's batting today. Perhaps it is a bowling aid pitch. Pakistan is batting very carefully from the beginning of the innings. Pakistan lost the wicket of Imam ul Haque by just 10 runs. He returned to the dressing room after collecting 2 runs off just 19 balls. At the end of 20 overs, Pakistan's collection was just 73 runs. But at the end of 45 overs, they collected 263 runs. Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam batted very responsibly. Pakistan will probably be able to give a target of 300. They will win this match by at least 100 runs margin.

As far as I can tell by watching the scoreboard, both Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam seem to be in good spirits. The Dutch bowlers were thrashed around the park by well settled batsmen. Agha Salman and Naseem Shah are making their ODI debuts, though most of the regular players are in the Pakistan squad! It will be interesting to see which team wins. In my opinion, Pakistan has a better chance of winning this game.

BCB president has been holding this post for a long time. But there is no progress without the degradation of the party. The team is not finding any new talented players. So it needs to be removed quickly. He is not able to take any effective steps for the development of cricket in Bangladesh.
You need to remember that in all the South Asian countries, the cricket boards are either directly or indirectly controlled by the regime. Even in case of the BCCI, Jay Shah (Secretary) and Anurag Thakur are linked to the ruling party. In case of Bangladesh, the ruling party (Sheikh Hasina's Awami League) has been in power since 2009 and since then the BCB has been under the control of individuals who have links with that party. Even the ICC is helpless here. They can't do anything without the permission from the regime. Political interference in cricket is very serious. If it is done by unqualified persons. I don't know if BCB president Papon played cricket. Surely someone related to cricket should have been given the presidency. We have seen Zimbabwe's party reduced to rubble after political interference. Bangladesh team is going to be the same? I don't see any talented youngsters for the Bangladesh squad when the senior players retire.

As many already mention corruption into BCB, and it's all happening just because of political influence so if they want to go into good shape then surely foremost they need to do some good changes in management which is surely going to bring good development for them and professional peoples can understand all difficulties and requirements of players related to these sports is also very important for the better performance and improvement in quality.
But, right now sadly nothing is positive happening, and they are allowing these corrupt politicians to play with careers of these good and talented players just for their sack with Bangladesh is going good in development and right now they can bring good investment in sports as well surely foremost they need much better management which is indeed otherwise this all is going down and out.
Unless the personnel in BCB changes very quickly the situation of Bangladesh cricket is not going to get better. I don't think that is going to happen very soon either. Corruption and nepotism have caused a lot of problems for Bangladesh cricket till now. And it is going to cause more problems for Bangladesh going forward in the future. And trust me the future does not look good for Bangladesh in cricket.But, right now sadly nothing is positive happening, and they are allowing these corrupt politicians to play with careers of these good and talented players just for their sack with Bangladesh is going good in development and right now they can bring good investment in sports as well surely foremost they need much better management which is indeed otherwise this all is going down and out.

Many Bangladeshi players' careers have been destroyed by the Bangladesh cricket board. Did you know the Bangladesh cricket board even told news channels Bangladesh to make negative news about Mashrafe Mortaza when he did not have a successful performance in the last World Cup?
But the news channels had respect for Mashrafe Mortaza. So they denied making any news like that even though they had to be offered a lot of money for that. And it is true that Shakib Al Hasan didn’t think it was illegal. And it was obviously possible that if he had a favorable relationship with the cricket board he could have easily gotten away with this without any hassle.

I think this should be good enough proof. If I remember correctly this happened at the last World Cup that was organized.
And he is still the president of the Bangladesh cricket board. The video can be found everywhere on the internet & social media.
So, why doesn’t he get banned when he was caught red-handed and why does Shakib Al Hasan get banned just for having connections with a bookie?
This is complete hypocrisy on BCB's part. They should have taken disciplinary action against this individual. He should be stripped from his position and further action depending on the law of Bangladesh should be taken. Since they have not taken any action against this guy which proves the amount of indiscipline and corruption prevails within the board. When the board itself is so corrupt then how will the Bangladesh team play effectively?
There are also a lot of problems with regard to the selection of players that need to be addressed. There is little chance for a player to get a lot of chances without the help of political power or nepotism unless he is a really talented individual. Furthermore, I am quite sure that the BCB president Nazmul Hasan, who was seen gambling in this video, was actually looking for Shakib Al Hasan to be banned. Otherwise, they couldn’t have stripped Mashrafe from the captaincy of the Bangladesh cricket team. People will say that I am just guessing. Having watched everything, I would say this is an educated guess based on what I have seen so far.

That's true, if he had got good relationship with the Bangladesh cricket board, now things could've gone in a smooth manner without controversies. He used to get into controversy often. This isn't the first time. During the IPL match Hasim Amla during his contract said he won't carry the ad promoting alcohol in his jersey, because his religion doesn't encourage it. Here things have taken place in the opposite way. It is all about money that turns players.
At present, the trend of players is moving away from the moral position. As a result of which cricketers do not hesitate to get involved in any unethical activities. But there are still some players who sacrifice a lot to keep their integrity. Hashim Amla is one of them.It is no secret that Hashim Amla is a devout Muslim. It is always his religion that comes first for him. In my memory, I still remember the celebration of the World Cup, or even any celebration that involved England opening up a champagne bottle during the World Cup, Hashim Amla is never included in that celebration because he doesn’t want to. As far as he is concerned, he does not want any part of alcohol in his life so he can do anything that he wants to.
In addition to that, he is also ready to take the punishment for it if necessary. In this day and age where people are willing to do anything for money, it is actually unbelievable to see someone who is willing to do such a thing in today's society.

Do you have any source of this news? If it is true then this is hypocrisy on the Bangladesh board's part. Political influence and powerful politicians were once a big problem with BCCI and it took a lot of effort to get those politicians and influencers out of the board. If Bangladesh cricket needs to survive then they need to get such individuals removed from their boards.

Between Australia, England and South Africa, the players are quite restrained. Moreover, the cricket management team is always free from politics but the Bangladesh Cricket Board is completely dominated and exploited by a particular group. Here only players affiliated with politicians can do whatever they want. Especially if Shakib Al Hasan is going to catch Bangladesh, the backbone player should he involve himself with casino gambling.
Here is a point that raises questions in many spectators. Why did Shakib sign a contract with Betwinner despite knowing everything? The simple answer is that he signed a contract with Betwinner's news channel. He thought it would be legal and won't bother him at all. But the situation is completely opposite. So he had to withdraw the contract. Maybe if he had a good relationship with the board he would have got this permission.Many Bangladeshi players' careers have been destroyed by the Bangladesh cricket board.

And yes Shakib al Hassan got a lot of money from IPL. But his performance was not very good in the IPL, to be honest. Yes I agree that he did neglect his international duties at times because of IPL.

Shakib is a good cricketer, but money matters alot. His activities is a true example for the same. In the past several issues have arisen with players from different countries prioritising franchise cricket even when there is matches scheduled for their country. Nowadays after proper agreement only players were allowed to participate.
Shakib, without any argument is the best player Bangladesh ever produced. Despite that, the BCB has treated him with disdain. I don't want to put all the blame on one side, but BCB overstepped their boundary when they prevented him from participating in franchise leagues multiple times. And whether to participate in a franchise league or not should be left to the player. Because after all they need to earn money when they are in their peak. The board can't force a player to cancel a league contract, unless it is a last resort step.
