NZ-BD-PAK Tri-Series, Oct 7-14 2022

[Eshen]

Only our moronic team management would take a toothless bowler like Musta on NZ condition. Shorif would have been a much better choice in those sort of pitches.

ANH Limited is the title sponsor of the series. They own a detergent called "Bangla Wash", thus named the series so.

[Eshen]

Even Afif losing his nerves today!

[Eshen]

43 runs in powerplay, against the top opening pair in T20I - not bad by our bowlers.

[Eshen]

Even sans Shakib, we would still have a chance to win the match today, if not for Musta (never good outside subcontinent) and Hasan (been out of game too long). Those two will give away enough runs for us to lose the match. Management should have picked Ebadot and Shorif.

[godzilla]

Ai beta Nasum is so useless in those condition. What a waste of a spot

[Eshen]

There is a realistic chance for a win if we can keep them under 170

[Eshen]

Finally a good performance from Nasum (outside Mirpur). He survives on for WC squad.

I think it is safe to say that BD t20 cricket team is a 140-run team (160 at best). We would have to bat our arses off to chase 170

If Mustafiz gets a ipl contract again, i'll be really really surprised

Pakistan is without their top pacers - Shaheen, Naseem, Hasnain all sitting out this match. So, I would still back our boys to chase down 170 here.

Why isn't Shoriful playing?

[NoName]

Rizwan averages 50+ in this format and as an opener, don't understand why there is so much complains around him by his countrymen

[godzilla]

The fizz for the final over ... i can only imagine how many runs he will give.

[Eshen]

If not for Musta and Hasan, we prolly could have restricted Pakistan around 150. If Sohan given Miraz and Mosaddek each one extra over, and used Musta and Hasan each one over less, we still prolly could restrict them less than 160.

Because you don't need that high avg in T20 especially less than 130 SR.

I wouldn't back this sorry lot to chase 70

I never understood that either. I wish we had half of a rizwan as an opener lol. We have a tiktoker who can't score more than 10 runs and then Russian roulette each series for opening spot

Fizz is gone case, useless player these days. Hasan is as trundler as one can get.

Yeh, but except him and Babar I don't see a single Pak batsman raising their hand

[godzilla]

Atleast the fielding has been good this match.

[godzilla]

Sabbir hit a 4 ... WOW. Also 10 runs, no wicket yet, bigger WOW.

[Night_wolf]

I have a feeling sabbir is only in this team because shakib wanted his gang members in

[Eshen]

Sohan sounds good with all those positive pep talk. However, as a captain, he's often like other Bangladeshi captains who follow a rigid script instead of making decisions based on situation. He took off Taskin after just one over even though Taskin was getting swing with the new ball. After drinks, he went back to Hasan (though he was expensive), discontinuing with Miraz who took the crucial wicket of Babar and was choking runs before the break!

Honestly, I miss Mashrafee sometimes. At least under him, there was always a chance of winning, he knew how to inspire people. Shakib and co are just there as captain, nothing more.
