Congratulation team Bangladesh......
To everyone's surprise, Bangladesh won the Test against New Zealand at the New Zealand ground. It was a completely unexpected result.
We have seen Bangladesh's weak Test team in the past. But this match was completely different. Their batting was very nice. Every player on the team has helped raise the team's scoreboard. At the same time, New Zealand lost all their wickets for just 169 runs in the second innings. I thought yesterday the match would be a draw. But Bangladesh played very well and won the match by 8 wickets.
In test matches, there are five days and fifteen sessions, so it's a matter of dominating those five days and 15 sessions, and they have done just that on Kiwi soil. While NZ struggled for all 5 days, BAN blocked their comeback. BAN proved the better side in the first test. A thoroughly deserved victory. Bangladesh's chances of drawing this test, let alone winning it, were astronomical.

Those who have watched Pakistan vs Bangladesh Test series will never imagine that Bangladesh will win this match. But to everyone's surprise, Bangladesh has dominated the whole 5 days and won. My guess is that the New Zealand players thought the Bangladesh team was weak, they might have thought they would win the match without any competition. This was their first mistake. Moreover, Bangladesh's top order has played well. For a long time we did not see any good partnership from the top order of Bangladesh.

Even if I speak about myself, I hardly thought that BD will be able to score more than 100 runs in an innings but the players have shown resilience and determination.

Maybe the Kiwi players underestimated the BD players and thought that they will be an easy opponent but credit where credit's due, the BD players played flawlessly. Even when they needed about 40 runs in the last innings, they didn't rush to get the win, they were very calm and composed and got those runs in 16 or so overs. Well played from BD.

India collected 202 in the first innings and 260 in the second innings. Not too bad collection. However, they are not in the safe zone. Provided a target of 240 runs. If they could give a target of 300, they would be safe. Because the pitch is cooperating with the bowlers.
South Africa have already scored 60 runs. They lost the first wicket for 47 runs. Elgar and Peterson are playing now, they need only 180 runs. Not a big task. But the match will be competitive.

Arey bhai 350?

they are standing at 225 runs and tail is long. They don't need to score 350 on this pitch anyway, 250 target on this pitch won't be easy to chase.

Lord Thakur did his thingy again, Vihari playing anchor role but he should start to play some shots too.

Lead is 198 runs now, tail need to wag for India.

250 is good enough for Indian bowlers to defend on this pitch. Hanuma Vihari and Shami are on crease right now. Shardul Thakur is gone but played his part nicely by scoring 28 runs of 24 balls. India right now in a good position to win the game. All they need is to score somewhere around 250 that will give there bowlers confidence.

India was in very strong command but due to short burst from Rabada Proteas are back into the contest.

Lead is only 161 runs and 4 more wickets in the back. 50 more runs here and we're up for nice arm wrestle.

@JSRAW these two knew if they scored less than 50 or less than 100 runs in this innings, then their test career would have ended for sure so it seems they have saved their careers for now. Lastly not sure why did team India suddenly collapse, but I can see two good player’s batting out there for team India, and if they can somehow take lead of 350 runs then it’ll put lots of pressure on SA.

India right now is leading by 183 runs and still 4 wickets in hands. The way SA is playing I am sure they wont be able to chase anything around 200 so India right now has very much saved the game. If they manage to score 250 runs then it will be a safe bet to go for India win. We still have 60 overs to go today.

SA vs IND

Can't able to make any sense of what's happening here. Pujara and Rahane are batting like Sehwag and morning session run rate is touching almost 6 (overall 4.5).

Is pitch getting slow or Proteas bowling too bad? Not taking anything from the both batters who went into their business beautifully and played some majestic shots so far.  

Runs coming way too easy atm, lead is 103.



Okay they are batting really good, good sign for India in context of game.



Colllllllaaaaaapppppsssee !!!

Yes that's the first surprise of 2022. No one was expecting such performance from Bangladesh. Credit for this victory goes to Ebadot Hossain who took 1 wicket in first innings and 6 and second innings. Another positive development for Bangladesh is that there batting line up performed well after so many years. Hope Bangladesh will capitalize this victory.

I am not yet able to digest the outcome of the New Zealand vs Bangladesh match. On paper, no one gave any chance for the Bongs before the match. They were without star players like Tamim and Shakib, and were playing under hostile conditions against the best pace bowling attack in the world (and that too against the WTC champs). ~
New Zealand was able to dominate in the game on the first day only, the rest 4 days was under control of Bangladesh team. And this is really unexpected victory from Bangladesh, because they are playing with their young and inexperienced players. But they have performed better than the experienced Kiwi players. Do you know the betting odds was 32× for Bangladesh win at the end of day 1 and I have mentioned it here. The youngsters has proven the odds wrong.

New Zealand has made a good score today. Still I'm not going to keep them ahead, but the betting odds is fully in favour of them. Currently the odds is 1.06× for New Zealand win, which is 32× for Bangladesh.

They were without star players like Tamim and Shakib, and were playing under hostile conditions against the best pace bowling attack in the world (and that too against the WTC champs). It still amuses me that a bowling lineup that consisted of Boult, Jamieson, Southee and Wagner conceded a massive 458 runs in the first innings against a team that ended up at the last place during the ICC World Test Championship of 2019-21.

HISTORY MADE BY BANGLADESH

It is a big defeat for New Zealand.

New Zealand 1st innings Score : 328
Bangladesh 1st innings Score : 458

New Zealand Second innings Score : 169
Bangladesh Second innings Score : 42/2

From the scores it is clear that New Zealand has lost its confidence once after the massive scoring of Bangladesh in the first innings. New Zealand should've managed to score atleast the first innings score, because they had the home ground support.

NZ vs BAN

Holy shit... Bangladesh is about to make history!!!

9th wicket down for NZ and lead is only 31 runs.
I never expected this turnaround in the match, Bangladesh played really well and they just need 37 runs to win the match and create history. Glad that i did not place a bet on the match because i would have went with New Zealand before the match because i could not see Shakib Al Hasan in the team line up and the batsman turned the match upside down with their first innings performance and then Ebadot Hossain did the rest and i am hearing this name for the first time  Smiley.

This is hilarious the match has completely changed. First session NZ was in control of this match but what happened in the second session is hilarious they themselves were not able to play on the pitch that they created. What a turnaround by the Bangladesh team they only need 24 runs to win this match.

Shakib Al Hasan seems to be the senior player to guide the team. At times Bangladesh team used to loss matches due to lack of experience, because of fresh faces. This time the young players have utilised their energy in the right way. That to defeating New Zealand in its home ground is a big history, because the climatic conditions changes between the countries. Most of the time teams from Asian continent finds difficulty playing there. Lets see what's gonna happen in the upcoming match.

Everytime some dangerous partnership builds up, Thakur comes in and out of nowhere takes the prize wicket. He played only handful games but already becoming very impactful player for the team.

SA still in good position and Bavuma looking solid already but mini collapse could change the tide very quickly.

Trail is only 30 runs now.


Wow just wow, he did it again, 5th wicket for Lord!
Thakur took 7 freaking wickets to dismantle the South African lineup almost single-handedly. He still leaks runs, but he takes wickets consistently which is why he will keep getting more and more well-deserved chances across all formats in the future.

Both Pujara and Rahane are playing well at the moment and South Africa will be in big trouble if India manages to post a lead of 250 or higher.
Mortals shouldn't judge him cause Lord works in a mysterious ways  Grin

I loved that Pujara took a aggressive approach, it was refreshing. Hope he and Rahane continue this partnership and strengthen team position. Yeah India do need 250 runs on the board as target because we are 1 bowler short due to Siraj's hamstring injury and he's not 100% fit. If he is fit then even 220 score looks good on this pitch.

South Africa has a chance to dominate the 2nd test match. But they missed the opportunity. The batsmen have played very badly. With such a performance, it is impossible to win against a strong team like India.
The second day has just ended. So the chances of this match being drawn are very low. If India bats well tomorrow and can give more than 250 targets. I think 250 is enough to beat South Africa. India lost 2 wickets and is now leading by 58 runs.
The match is moving much faster. The result of the match is almost predictable. India leading 58 runs and has lost two wickets. By tomorrow's morning session there'll be fall of wickets. If early wicket fall happens, then it'll be advantageous for South Africa and keep up the dominance. Within two days two innings have got over and the third innings have begun. If India manages to develop good partnership then it might toughen the game, else this is gonna be the match of South Africa.
Currently, match is well-balanced for both teams, but surely tomorrow first hour is very important for both teams if India able to have 220+ lead then surely they will on driving seat with current both well experienced batsmen on crease and doing good job they can give first series win in South Africa. But if bowlers have good time, and they take few early wickets then surely It's going to be more interesting game because in last three innings South African batting struggling very badly and have no confidence in presence of youth players which is major concern for them. Pujara's counter-attack is very good for India, with this they can take some good lead.
