I am really impressed with the performance of Bangladesh today. At one point I was sure that Bangladesh would lose the match by innings. But Mehdi Hasan Miraj and Jaker Ali's amazing batting, Bangladesh is dreaming of victory. Mehedi Hasan Miraj has played such an amazing batting innings before, he has played an innings that turned the match around in difficult times for Bangladesh. His responsible batting today is a real example of that. I am not personally acquainted with Jaker Ali. I don't know him well, but he gave a very nice innings to Bangladesh cricket fans today. Although he is unproven in international cricket, we hope he will do well for Bangladesh in the future.

After such a beautiful innings of Bangladesh, I am definitely willing to bet for Bangladesh. The match is stopped due to rain, if Bangladesh can score at least 60-70 runs after the rain, it will be difficult for South Africa to win this match and they will surely regret it. The match was in Africa's favor till the 2nd day and the first session of the 3rd day. I was even optimistic that South Africa would win the match by an innings. But there are few people to bet on Africa now. If Bangladesh can give a target of 150 runs then South Africa's match win will be uncertain. For South Africa to win the match, Bangladesh will have to be all out within 300 runs. Otherwise there could be danger for South Africa.

Bangladesh team just lost the wicket of Jaker Ali. Jaker Ali returned to the dressing room after collecting 58 runs from 111 balls. Jaker ALi played a brilliant innings at a time when the team needed it. However, if Miraj and Jaker's partnership had been extended, Bangladesh would have been able to provide a descent target. Even if the Bangladesh team can somehow set a target of around 150, it will be difficult for New Zealand to win the match.

Miraj remains unbeaten with 77 runs. Nayeem Hasan managed to collect 12 runs. Waiting to see if the Bangladesh team is able to collect up to 350. Bangladesh has already managed to take a lead of 65 runs. And now the match is being delayed due to rain.

Bangladesh's lead is not big atm but Miraj and Jaker are grinding for their team. Proteas needs to regroup and try something different to break this partnership otherwise they could fuck this up rare opportunity, my money will be on Bangladesh if they set at least a 120-run target for Proteas.

I am familiar with his off field life and antics but imo Shakib the cricketer deserves respect.

I am very surprised by Miraz and Jaker Ali's responsible batting. I thought the Bangladesh team would not be able to collect even 200 runs in the second innings. And Bangladesh will be defeated by innings. But the two Bangladeshi batsmen are batting well. Although the Bangladeshi top order did not play well, the middle order batsmen performed well.

Bangladesh lost their sixth wicket for 112 runs. But at the moment Bangladesh has collected 250 runs by losing 6 wickets. Bangladesh is already collecting 138 runs from Miraz-Jaker duo. Miraz scored 72 runs and jaker Ali remained unbeaten with 58 runs.

These are one of those rare matches where the results are very much certain and one can take a bet on these match with some big amount and gain easy money. Though you only get 1.03 odds but it will be a sure shot bet.



At the moment Bangladesh lead by 16 runs. But there is nothing to be excited about this. The two players Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Jaker Ali have make over a 100 runs partnership but again as soon as one of the wickets will fall, it may be all over for Bangladesh. I would be happy if Bangladesh can drag this match on the last day but for this, this partnership needs to continue for another two sessions.

Bangladesh vs South Africa is turning out to be a replay of India vs New Zealand where the hosts are just chasing a big lead and end up losing inevitably. Bangladesh will probably give a lead less than 100 which cannot be defended.

Agreed. He is easily one of the most ungentlemanly cricketers out there, but his all-rounder talent is unmatched though his form went down the drain in recent years.

Bangladesh's team is not playing good as they have to do. They are playing so slowly. As we have an example in the first few overs of today's game, they just scored almost around less than 50. At the start of the day, they were trailing the score by more than 100 runs and now after 44 overs, they are trailing the score by 71 runs, such a poor performance it is here. And also at the same time they are losing their wickets quickly, in the start of the day they were batting with 3 wickets down but now they lost five wickets. Mahmudul Hasan Joy who was playing so well, was out on 40 today.

I don't think so. People did not forget about Shakib. You saying that means you did not see the news media. There was a protest even before the first day of the test. You know that Shakib is out of the country due to this political bullshit. Personally, I like Shakib as a cricketer. But he is the worst guy when it comes to personality. He can do anything for money. He joined the political party and became a member of parliament because he wanted more money and some power to abuse.

But, as I said. I like him as a cricketer. The criminal case against him is totally fake, and I guess all the people know that. The opposite political party supporters are threatening Shakib al Hasan, and this is the reason BCB suggested Shakib not come to Bangladesh due to security issues. I understand his dedication to cricket, and I respect that.

Of course, the chances of losing are very high, so I will blame the Bangladesh batsmen because they are failing to show responsibility every time. We have seen even when India was successful that they are not capable of playing Tests. Their bowlers bowl well but the batters cannot bat well every time. They will take the field on the third day still trailing by 85 runs from the previous day and they have only 4 wickets. I think Bangladesh team will lose by a huge margin. In the second innings, Mahmudul Hasan Joy tried to bat well and he was able to score 40 runs off 92 balls, besides Mushfiqur Rahim scored 33 runs off 39 balls besides, no other batsman could play well. Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Jaker Ali are now unbeaten batsmen on the wickets, his middle order players and not much runs can be expected from them. I think the 5-day Test can be finished in 3 days.

Bangladesh team Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudul Hasan Joy are under the most pressure due to the dismissal of these two batsmen. I think Bangladesh team will lose this match for sure because their batting performance is very bad, bowling performance of South African team is good. Although there was a possibility of Bangladesh team yesterday but due to the loss of wickets, the chances of Bangladesh team have been greatly reduced today. Bangladesh team has lost 5 wickets and still have 90 runs left to complete their target, the team may not be able to complete this run. Because there is no improvement in the current game of the Bangladesh team, rather their game is going through a lot of disappointment, although the possibility of losing this match is high.

Bangladesh batting is still struggling. Their top players did not score big runs which put pressure on rest of team. But Hasan Joy and Mushfiq are batting well so there is still chance for Bangladesh to do better. To score a lot of runs Bangladesh needs Hasan Joy and Mushfiq to keep batting well and avoid losing wickets early tomorrow. First part of tomorrow game will be very important. If they can get through it without losing wickets they can gain momentum. South Africa bowlers are doing great job. Rabada has already taken two wickets in second innings showing how dangerous he is. If Bangladesh can handle these bowlers they might be able to score well. If not they might lose all their wickets quickly again.

End of day 2, Bangladesh team trail by 101 runs. For now, the team has lost 3 wickets, scoring 101 runs. In the first inning, they were able to score just 106 runs. In the second inning, they're playing with better control; however, at a specific interval, the break is happening. Even in the second inning, Bangladesh was 4/2, and the performances from Mahmudul Hasan 38* and Mushfiqur Rahim 31* have steadied the situation. Every new day started used to be struggling for the batsman if he's under pressure. Right now both were under pressure to stand wicket. So there are more possible chances of falling wickets in the first session of day 3.

Bangladesh lost their 2 wickets very early but they are much more controlled now. Still much can't be said. Bangladesh was trailing by 200+ runs at the start of 2nd innings and I hoped South Africa would take much more wickets till the end of the day but 101 for 3 is not a bad score. Specially when two set batsmen Mahamudul Hasan Joy and Mashfiqur Rahim would come out in the new day refilled with energy. They still need to get 100 to come par with the score and make at least 400+ to fight for a win. As it's early, there are no chances of draw.

Well currently Bangladesh has lose some of thier important wicket and just lose of thier three wicket they able to scored 100+ which indicates now they are a bit settle down and we will have something new in thier batting attitude, some vital partnership between mushfiq and joy really put his team on track to not only chased the required Target but some huge number on board as a target for south African to chased, I believe if they able to scored 200 around before lose of any other wickets then definitely match will be in favor of them but if the failed especially at start of new day then things can be turn down into horrible for them. Anyway I am still supporting Bangladesh but my gut feeling says it's Gona be south African victory let's see how they come out of such terrible stages

If Bangladesh's top order batsmen could bat well, they might have been able to collect big. But top order players cannot play big innings. So at the end of the third day Bangladesh team lost three wickets and collected 101 runs. Bangladesh lost three wickets after batting 27.1 overs. But now Joy and Mushfik at the crease are batting well. If the innings of these two batsmen is prolonged, then Bangladesh will move towards a big collection. Otherwise, there is no surprise if Bangladesh loses all the wickets within 200.

In the first innings, South African team bowlers Rabada, Mulder and Maharaj bowled brilliantly to win the trio. Each took three wickets. Rabada picked up two of the three wickets in the second innings. I am waiting to see how the Bangladesh team will bat in the first session tomorrow. If Bangladesh does not lose wickets in the first session, then the team will be able to collect big.

There have been various criticisms about the corruption of the Bangladesh cricket board, moreover, the country's cricketers have been more interested in politics than in the game, although not everyone has done that. But the cricket board should have been very selective in choosing good quality cricketers so that Bangladesh team can build a good position by them but they completely failed to do that. Due to the mistake of the cricket board, the condition of the Bangladesh team has dropped to the lowest level today. They must wait a long time to get rid of this condition. Bangladesh is doing well in other formats of cricket but their condition is not good in Test cricket. Therefore, there is a high possibility of losing Bangladesh team in the recent match against Sri Lanka.

Wait a minute, who knows if Bangladesh can battle day 03 and at the end of the day get a reasonable lead? The way the two players are batting and with Mahmudul Hasan Joy on the wicket, I think it is difficult for the South Africa to give them an innings defeat. Do you remember that recently we had the similar scenario in the India Vs New Zealand test match, where India after making 46 runs in the first innings fought well in the 2nd innings. I think Bangladesh will perform good batting in 2nd innings, though South Africa may still win this test.

Oh... my bad.. just mixed up things there.. Anyway, if they are going to suffer an innings defeat, and that too in a pitch that is tailor-made for them, then I would say that Bangladesh doesn't deserve anymore test matches against the other tier-1 full member nations. Rather, they should play against associate nations such as Scotland and Nepal. Let's see who comes on top in these matches. And given the poor form shown by Bangladesh during the last one decade in test cricket, I am doubtful that they can win even against Scotland.

Not only Nazmul Hasan Shanto, currently none of the batsmen of the Bangladesh team is able to give a quality game. Now in almost all the matches, the bad performance of the Bangladesh team players proves that the Bangladesh cricket team is slowly moving towards destruction. I think the Bangladesh Cricket Board is extremely negligent for such a bad condition of the Bangladesh cricket team at present. Due to the negligence of the Bangladesh Cricket Board, the players of the Bangladesh cricket team are passing every match through laziness.

I think you are checking details not correct because now Bangladesh needs 101 runs to avoid an inning defeat does not follow on.
They were bowled out 106 runs in first inning and now have 101 runs in second with the lost of 3 wickets their batting quality is drastically gone down which bringing them back on their usual performance.
Current partnership is important for them which can bring them to better position but still defeat is written for them in this test match.
