Very good win. But pacers need to bring their A game for the rest of the tourney. Mash was bowling too wide. Better bastmen WILL punish these balls. Al-Amin showed signs of poor temperament and an inability to stop making the same mistakes. Perhaps, Rubel is a better option as he brings experience and isn´t new to big tournaments and not easily rattled.

Nice to se Sabbir given an over and did very well, too. Mr. Sissy was impressive with the ball and fielding. Lalla getting some sticks and responding. Nasir "I'm not out of form" Hossain must accept reality and respond, too. Otherwise, be gone and stay gone.

Shakib was super clinical. Was impressed with his batting attitude...didnt throw his wicket...allowed Anam the winning glory -who was a little bit too over-pleased for my liking.

Very good start to the tournament but need to better themselves.

Good to see sabbir getting a chance to roll his arm. Decent option and his fielding is a bonus-the drop.

[mij]

BD need to stay focus winning 1 game is not everything. Still long to way. But this is just start. Don't rest until tournament is over.

[simon]

quit satisfied with the win, but still 2 more games to make sure we go to the main round.
Hope this win won't make us complacent.

The pacers need to fix their line and length - RBX should play the next match.

Reza looked fine - he did run out one Afghan and very close to get another and bowled well. Though, I would take Momin instead of him in the 2nd round against the big guns.

Very well played Tigers.

A big congrats

আজ থেকে দুই বছর আগে এশিয়া কাপে এই ১৬ মার্চেই বাংলাদেশের শিকার হয়েছিল ভারত।

[MHRAM]

"I think I was more relaxed before this game than any other match previously. I think our whole team knew that we will win and it will be a one-sided game," Shakib said. "I was about to throw a banana skin in the bin, I said if it falls inside, they will score 40 and if it doesn't they will make 80. They made 72."


hahaha giving it to them.

Ouch. He could have been a bit more diplomatic there, but I guess that Dawlat Zadran really pissed him off big time.

Not happy with fast bowler useless as usuall.

Mashrafee looked good. Was getting some good away swing and better batsman would have probably edged them.

Al-Amin didn't bowl too well though

[syedmahm]

This is what we call a very convincing one sided win. What a relief. I hope our poor run is over with this win. We shouldn't be over confident and do some damage to ourself in the next two games.

[ashrafi_mahb]

is it true that sakib is been fined 50 % of match fee ? what for ? anyone ???
