Shanaka is the guy who will be a thorn for Bangladesh.

We are winning this fo sho. Soumya 50 and Shabbir 80 is coming bro. Dont miss it.

[Kohli_Sox]

T20 is our weakest format and their strongest format. Thrashing in coming

[Shaan]

If our batsmen play according to situation on merit of ball keep calm their head we have very good chance to win, but as far our batsman go like wild monkey when it matter of T20 !!

[MHRAM]

Look at all the demotivated heads in this forum.

You know what happened when both teams faced last time? Bangladesh won.

And what about the two T20s before that? Went down to the last ball though we lost.

If anything we can beat them. We have gotten better. Just have faith in the boys

You sound very positive about this match.
Guess there wont be any "complaint" thread today.

Damn it!!! Can anyone confirm this??? Are we having rain? Everytime.... Anyways perfect for me if it is though so shouldn't complain, it would be worse if I stayed up and then it rained..

Better be confident than be pessimistic.

However I feel that Bangladesh are more than capable of winning. We have experience but lack in firepower. Our ground fielding is good too and we have some good death bowlers.

However if we make huge mistakes they need to be criticised regardless of the end result

Ha ha. Too much doom and gloom about this match. Even weather is having fun. There is 51% chance of thunder storm at 7PM local time. Play is also scheduled to start at 7 Pm local time. I was thinking is this the most gloomy time in BC? Surely not, there was a time when Mushi used to be the captain in all 3 formats and we forgot to win. The most doomed match thread I have ever opened was http://banglacricket.com/alochona/sh...ad.php?t=44712

But today I 'll stay awake all night. Does not matter if we loose or the match gets washed out. If you ask me to give you a reason, my answer will be "because Mash is captaining our side so there is always a chance".

[sireza]

Get rid of three 'M's ( MUSHFIQ+MAHMUDDULAH+MEHEDI) and win the T20.

One more hour to go
