As I said earlier, no prediction can be made about the performance of the Bangladesh team. With no continuity of the performance of their players. In today's match, Zimbabwe batted first and gave Bangladesh a target of 241 runs. But Bangladesh lost their valuable 3 wickets in just 50 runs. But I am happy because after a long time we can see a good inning from Shakib. He has scored 63 runs and is still at the crease.

If Zimbabwe wins today's game, then they will gain 10 very valuable points. Given their next 3-match series is against Ireland, there is still a chance that Zimbabwe need to play qualifier tournament for the next ODI world cup. BTW, Bangladesh doesn't have much to worry, as they are already comfortably placed in the Cricket World Cup Super League. Zimbabwe's win will be more of a headache for team such as South Africa and Sri Lanka (with today's win, Zimbabwe will move to 12th position, while Sri Lanka will be relegated to 13th).

Zimbabwe also lost today's match. With the help of Shakib Al Hasan's excellent performance, the Bangladesh team has won today. Shakib Al Hasan has made a great comeback today. Shakib has not performed well in the last many matches. Although he was successful with the ball, after a long time we saw better batting than him. He has performed well today in the needs of the team. If Shakib did not play well today, Bangladesh would not win.

Zimbabwe once again lost a match from a winning position. I would rate Brendan Taylor as the worst captain in international cricket right now. The way he got out (hit wicket) was really appalling. And then he made the wrong moves while Bangladesh were chasing the target. I was perplexed when he called up Tendai Chatara to bowl the 49th over. If Zimbabwe had even a slight chance for a win, they lost it at that point. Richard Ngarava and Luke Jongwe had overs left with them, and they could have bowled the penultimate over instead of Chatara.

Congratulations to India for such a massive win. They just destroyed Sri Lanka. Feels bad for Ranatunga... Grin

It is foolish to consider teams like Bangladesh and Sri Lanka by ranking. They themselves do not know when these teams will perform well against which team. If they perform well in a match against a big team, they will perform so badly in the next 3 matches that we will no longer want to enjoy their match.

In today's match Bangladesh would have scared many wagging a bet for them, i think the odds were not that big for Bangladesh to win but they started loosing wickets and at one point i thought Zimbabwe will win the match and Shakib Al Hasan played one of his best innings in recent times when it mattered and took the team home after giving the Bangladesh fans some scare from the beginning.

India cruising to victory and Arjuna Ranatunga should be hiding for his criticism Cheesy

I thought it will be an easy win for Bangladesh but they made it difficult and their only positive aspect is that Shakib Al Hasan is still in the crease and they need 18 more runs in 16 balls and it is not a huge task in the T20 era but their tail is exposed and Shakib Al Hasan needs to stay till the end for them to win the match, kudos to Bangladesh for making this an interesting match Cheesy

.

A great ending of the match, at least it wasn't a one side match like the first ODI. And it was hard to keep any team ahead during death overs. Shakib did a great job today and Saifuddin deserve respects. Despite being a lower order batsman he played nicely under pressure. On the other hand, India going to get an easy victory against Sri Lanka.

BTW, I have placed a multi bet on Bangladesh, India and England (T20) win. Seems like Pakistan will win this match and I will loss the bet.

Bangladesh needs 31 runs in the last 5 overs to win. Shakib Al Hasan and Mohammad Saifuddin are in the crease. Both are good batsmen. Shakib is playing great today. He has already scored 84 runs. Saifuddin has been able to 15. Bangladesh team seems to win today's match.

Hahaha, Bangladesh team makes all easy wins difficult. However, I am happy because Bangladesh did not lose this match. Bangladesh has won the series. Zimbabwe played very well in today's match. Their bowlers are doing great. The team seems to be slowly stabilizing.

Definitely a great effort for the team by Shakib Al Hasan, but he missed his century by only four runs. Nevertheless, he won all Bangladeshi fans' hearts, and Bangladesh won the series! Despite top-order collapse, Shakib played exceptionally well. Zimbabwe gave it a good effort and dominated at some point.

Sri Lanka managed to score only 262 runs. We have to remember that Sri Lanka is playing against the second-tier team of India. India's top star players will not play in this series. Sri Lanka said it was an insult to them. But I think Sri Lanka will lose all the matches against this team of India. India scored 45 runs in 4 overs without losing a wicket. Prithivi Shaw scored 35 runs off 18 balls.

The comments of insult for India sending a team should put more pressure on Sri Lanka as they is no way they are going to defeat India even with some of their top players missing from the team because their bench strength is huge and even a third string team could defeat Sri Lanka having a team like this who is not competitive and India had a flying start chasing the score and Prithvi Shaw once again threw his wicket after a great start.

I agree with you. Even if India had sent a third-tier team to play against Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka could not have won against them. The condition of the Sri Lankan team is very bad now. There are no good players in this experienced team. India, on the other hand, has a lot of talented and young players. 10 overs of Power Play are over, India has scored 91 runs, and losing just 1 wicket. India need only 172 runs to win.

Prithvi thrashed seamers during power play and when he got out, next 2 balls followed by six and four credit goes to Ishan. He's having fun there despite looking ugly at time.

From 50 overs, Sri Lanka is 262-9. Sri Lanka set a competitive total on board, but I must give Sri Lanka credit for batting with some great responsibility after losing quick wickets and changed the momentum. Honestly, Sri Lanka batted very well, it is a very brave effort. As far as bowling performances against Sri Lanka are concerned, these are fairly ordinary.

It was a flat track and the Indian bowling lineup was composed of inexperienced players. Putting up a total of 262 is nothing out of ordinary. And from what I can see, India is off to a great start with Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw destroying the Sri Lankan bowlers. Both the Sri Lankan bowlers (Isuru Udana and Dushmantha Chameera) look completely clueless on how to handle these two. And once again, it shows how good the surface is for batting. It will be interesting to know Arjuna Ranatunga's opinion at this point. He called the Indian squad "second string" a few days back. BTW.. Prithvi seems to be in some trouble after getting hit in his helmet.

Sri Lanka, as expected has started poorly. Half of the batsmen are back in pavillion, and 20 overs remain in the innings. If India goes for the kill, then they will be able to restrict Sri Lanka for well below 200. And remember that this is a very good batting surface. It is going to be yet another one sided match involving Sri Lanka. They will be hoping for at least one victory, so that they could get some valuable points for the ODI super league. But looking at the performance, that looks quite unlikely. But the good news is that the no.13 team (Zimbabwe) is also unlikely to get any points from today's game.

Anything around 280 runs India have the team to chase the score and i would like to see how Shikhar Dhawan will perform during crucial situation.

Sri Lanka started carefully but they lost 4 wickets already and India is having complete control in the match and if Sri Lanka can score above 250 runs it would be a good total, i would like to see a competitive match so that i could place some bets rather than a one sided performance.

Zimbabwe was somehow able to score 240 runs and it depends upon how Bangladesh is going to chase, i am expecting any easy win for them, hope they will not mess up.

Sri Lanka started carefully and as you said the team members are not that familiar and i am not sure how each players will perform and there might be someone who has the ability to increase the strike rate in the end. Anything around 280 runs India have the team to chase the score and i would like to see how Shikhar Dhawan will perform during crucial situation.

Top 3 batted okay i guess, there was no seam movement. All of them faced 20 -30+ balls and got their start 20s-30s runs, sadly they failed to convert their inning into 50s and lost control against Kulcha (Kuldeep+Chahal). I had my doubt about Kuldeep's spot in the team but its good to see they that both are playing.

Not sure about 280 ish score as they lost 4 wickets and score is 141/4 with 18 overs left in the Bank. Another partnership is building up for the 5th wicket and there is no demon on the wickets, if they bat sensibly here then they should touch 250 mark, after all they have 5 all rounders in the team, at least on paper, let's see.

New challenge for new young Indian team. We already saw them playing in the IPL and know what they are capable of but this is international game. Sri lanka would rely on surprise factor as most of them are unknown in international arena and its hard to make any full proof strategy against new opponent. The best India could do is focus on their strong area.

Sri Lanka batting first.
