There is no one in the the Bangladesh line up that could replace Shakib Al Hasan because he is a world class player that will fit in any team and he is best that Bangladesh ever produced and to replace him is a huge task. Yes he made money and even if he retires now he will be well off with playing franchise cricket until he is performing at the top but the fans might turn against him as Bangladesh have die hard fans.

Why should the fans turn against him? There is no doubt that the BCB has unfairly targeted their best player. Due to ego issues, the BCB bosses have targeted Shakib whenever they got a chance to do that. They have withheld his NOC, and have taken disciplinary actions without any basis. If he wanted, then he could have shifted to another country, and earned a lot more money. Anyway, his hot headed nature is not helping this either. Recently he created a lot of controversy during one of the Dhaka Premier Division Twenty20 matches.

Bangladesh's cricket board management does not like Shakib Al Hasan. I don’t know why they dislike their best player so much. I think Shakib is always against corruption so maybe many people dislike him. Moreover, many times we have seen a lot of news about the corruption of the BCB. I think that could be a factor.

If we take the financial aspect, then Shakib earns a lot more from franchise T20 leagues when compared to what he earns by playing for the Bangladesh national team. And along with Mustafizur Rahman, he was one of the top performing Bangladeshi players in the IPL. He is not going to lose anything if he announces his international retirement. Anyway, already he has been banned twice by the BCB, and they may also be happy about it. But the big question is whether anyone can replace Shakib in the national squad without weakening it.

^^ He's 35 years old and his time was about to come anyway so he did good by taking retirement after such a good performance, which most of the subcontinent players avoid (unless they get drop) so good for Mahmudullah. If Shakib is not good term with BCB then i think his retirement is also coming.

Practice match for Zimbabwe? I don't think so. There was no discipline among their team members. Players would show some effort if they took it as a practice match. Anyway, Bangladesh got a nice victory. Mahmudullah Riyad was selected as Player of the match. And he has announced about his retirement from test cricket. Not a bad ending for his test career. Although, a rumour is going on that Mahmudullah has taken the decision for the negligence of BCB. Team management ignored him in some test series even though he was in good form and fit for playing.

What is going on with the Bangladesh cricket team? It sounds like almost every senior player has got some issues with the BCB. We all know the case of Shakib al Hasan. He has spats with BCB from time to time and probably that was one of the reasons why he got very harsh punishments in 2014 and 2019 (when he was banned from playing). Sad to hear that Mahmudullah also faced the same issues. Why there is no protest against the BCB, if they are mistreating the players in a regular manner? I am 100% sure that the BCCI would not have the courage to take such actions against their best player.

Bangladesh won the match by 220 runs. A memorable overseas win for Bangladesh, but for Zimbabwe just a practice match. Is not it? It was not a great performance by Zimbabwe, since they only played a few matches, we can't expect great and excellent performances from them. It would be great if both of them played regular tests against top teams.

I don't agree. Bangladesh is already playing tests against top teams regularly, since they are placed in the top division of test cricket. Zimbabwe on the other hand has performed pathetically, despite playing a total of 111 test matches so far. The other countries (such as Ireland, Netherlands and Afghanistan) also deserve the chances that Zimbabwe is getting right now. Opportunities and funding should be directly related to performance. As of now, Afghanistan is performing much better than Zimbabwe, and still the former is receiving only around 1/4th of the funding when compared to the latter.

A minimum of 42 overs remaining, and the 9th wicket has added 40 runs from 11 overs so far. I don't think that the tailend batsmen can survive for 40+ overs. Anyway, it was not their job, after the top order and the middle order put up such a pathetic performance. But so far, it is good batting from both Donald Tiripano and Blessing Muzarabani. Taskin Ahmed will be looking for his 5th wicket in the innings, as he has already got 4 till now. After this match, it is going to be another long wait for the Zimbabwe team to have a test match against one of the top division teams.

Bangladesh has the opportunity to win as the wicket was spinning earlier and tomorrow is the final day and the pitch should turn but still Zimbabwe was able to score some runs and Brendan Taylor was once again unlucky as he missed a well deserving century as he is out in the 90s and if the spinners are able to turn the ball then we might see another collapse like we saw in the first innings.

Taylor is a very good player, but one thing that he doesn't know is how to play for the team instead for himself. On both the occasions, he got out by playing unwanted shots. This was a rare opportunity for Zimbabwe to get a very rare test win against one of the teams in the first division of test cricket. But they wasted the chance. At some point of time, the ICC need to ask the question whether it is good for the health of cricket to given them any more chances, while teams such as Nepal and Netherlands doesn't get any.

Rare chance before the toss but Bong bandhus didn't gave them much choice after that.

After Bangladesh mammoth score they had some chance of comeback which they lost after bundling up under 300, still there was some hope of comeback but Bangladeshi top 3 batters batted impressively and went to add 250 + runs more at the scoreboard. 73 overs left in the game and they can still draw the match but of course their batters need to show some backbone.

Almost 120 overs left in the game and there is enough time for Bangladesh to take 10 wickets. Zimbabwe on the other chasing mammoth 462 runs on 5th day wicket so their winning chances is almost zero, the best they can do is play for draw even to achieve this their batters need to do show some grit but its look daunting task against Ban's spinners.

The pitch is turning good for spinners again. Day 4 ended and Zimbabwe have lost their first 3 wickets. Brendan Taylor was playing the game like a T20 match, he made 92 runs from 73 balls. Probably he was thinking to get a victory. Although Miraz didn't let him to longer his innings. Bangladesh need more 7 wickets to win the match on last day. Remaining Zimbabwean batsman aren't isn't strong enough. We might see a collapse in their batting lineup tomorrow, and a victory for Bangladesh.

If Bangladeshi bowlers can take 2 more wickets for Zimbabwe then Zimbabwe will be easily defeated. Zimbabwe's squad is not very strong. Except for the first few batsmen, other batsmen are not experienced. Bangladeshi bowlers can easily take wickets. I will see Bangladesh win a Test match after a long time.

It is very easy for Bangladesh to win this Test match if their bowlers can perform their duties properly. Taking 7 wickets for Zimbabwe in 90 overs is not a difficult task. Zimbabwe's most feared batsman Taylor has already been ruled out. The rest of the batsmen are not very experienced.

You cannot expect Zimbabwe to chase a target of 477, the pitch has become favourable for the spinners and it will be easy for Bangladesh spinners to get some easy wickets. It will be tough for Zimbabwe batsmen to stay on the pitch until the end of the day. It is a complete win win situation for the Bangladesh team.

The collapse from Zimbabwe was shocking. When Brendan Taylor and Takudzwanashe Kaitano were batting, it looked as if they will get to a decent total. But the slide started once Taylor threw away his wicket. Some of the other batsmen also lost their wickets to unwanted shots. Form 176/1, they ended up at 276 all out. It was a very disappointing performance from the Zimbabwe batsmen. The two spinners (Shakib Al Hasan and Mehidy Hasan Miraz) picked up 9 out of the 10 wickets, but poor shot selection from Zimbabwe batsmen was responsible for the debacle.

The venue is a batting-friendly surface and is expected to assist the batters once again here. Pacers might get some help towards the initial phase of the match while spinners will come in handy in the latter half

It is a great pitch report as it was batting friend and then the spinners dominated the third day and if the spinners are having this advantage in the three day it is going to be really difficult to bat against the spinners in the last two days and Bangladesh will try to score the runs as quickly as possible as they already have a lead of 237 runs and if they add another hundred runs then they should let Zimbabwe bat Grin
