Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]

[WatChe]

Poor Bangladesh lost a good toss here and now paying the price, atm it looks like a belter of a pitch and for Bongs it'll be a long tiring day at work, possibly 5 full sessions of hard work.

Shakib has yet to bowl long spells, maybe because it's a first day pitch or after a break his bowling arm is not in good shape for the long haul.

Not much success for Bangladesh bowlers on first day, just 3 wickets for the bowlers plus one run out. Kusal Mendis was unlucky to miss 3rd consecutive ton by just 7 run. Batting of Sri Lanka is much more stable today then what they have shown in first test. Sri Lanka might score 400+ runs before declaring or losing all wickets. Bangladesh now have a job at there disposal, they need to bowl out well set Sri Lankan batting and then chase a huge total of first innings.

Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh second test match  Sri Lanka team is batting great, Bangladesh bowlers are not bowling that well, the way Sri Lanka team is collecting runs, it seems that Bangladesh will be under a lot of pressure to score those runs. Bangladesh lost the first test match against Sri Lanka by a huge margin of runs. If Bangladesh cannot bat well in the second test match, then Bangladesh will lose the second test match against Sri Lanka very badly. In the second test match, the bowlers of Bangladesh could not bowl very well, so the batsmen have to bat responsibly.

In today's 2nd Test match of Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka team came out to bat in the 1st Innings. They scored 125 runs for the loss of 1 wicket in 38 overs. Sri Lanka team batsman Nishan Madushka was dismissed for 57 runs off 105 balls. Dimuth Karunaratne 44 off 85 balls.  Kusal Mendis scored 22 runs from 41 balls. Bangladesh team bowling line started to perform poorly. Mehidy Hasan Miraz bowled 13 overs and could not take any wickets with 45 runs. Shakib Al Hasan gave 13 runs from 3 overs.

Srilanka posted 314/4 and the day 1 stumps off Bangladesh bowlers failed to take wickets early they took only 4 wickets in complete day. What a charge by the Srilanka team start of the innings to the end of the last session they don't take the pressure. Excellent batting by Dimuth Karunaratne and Kusal Mendis in this series as long as they remained on the wicket pressure was on the opposite team Bangladesh bowlers have not the ability to bowled the Srilanka team under less score the way the Srilanka team is playing they will win this match easily because the batting line is the weakness of Bangladesh teams against top ranked teams

In 1 st test game between Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka team, this game was won by Sri Lanka team and in this game, Sri Lanka batting lineup was brilliant and most players showed very outstanding struggle and woj this game by big margin of runs. Today 2 nd test game,  one day was ended and Sri Lanka team scored 314 runs in 90 overs and losing 4 wickets and their 1 st Inning is still continuing. N.Madushka scored 57 runs with dismissed in 105 balls, D.Karunaratne made 86 runs in 129 balls. D.de Silva and D.Chandimal  both are currently batting in pitch, D.de Silva batsman effort was impressive in 1 st test game. I believe that this game also won by Sri Lanka team and Sri Lanka team is much stronger than Bangladesh team.

You are right Sri Lankan team batted responsibly in the first test match against Bangladesh because of their responsible batting they beat Bangladesh very badly in the first test match Sri Lankan team is batting very well in the second test match too. Bangladesh is going to give a big lead. Sri Lanka team's current score is 314 runs for 4 wickets. Sri Lanka team has crossed 300 runs in the second innings if Sri Lanka team can bat well then maybe they can give Bangladesh 400 plus runs if Bangladesh is lead for 400 runs then the chances of Bangladesh win in the second test match will be very less. Now the batsmen of Bangladesh have to try if they lose the second test match against Sri Lanka but they have to perform very well to make the game competitive.

Poor Bangladesh lost a good toss here and now paying the price, atm it looks like a belter of a pitch and for Bongs it'll be a long tiring day at work, possibly 5 full sessions of hard work.

Shakib has yet to bowl long spells, maybe because it's a first day pitch or after a break his bowling arm is not in good shape for the long haul.

Not much success for Bangladesh bowlers on first day, just 3 wickets for the bowlers plus one run out. Kusal Mendis was unlucky to miss 3rd consecutive ton by just 7 run. Batting of Sri Lanka is much more stable today then what they have shown in first test. Sri Lanka might score 400+ runs before declaring or losing all wickets. Bangladesh now have a job at there disposal, they need to bowl out well set Sri Lankan batting and then chase a huge total of first innings. 

Today the Sri Lankan team played very well and I think as they made the target today, tomorrow they have to declare the innings after making 400 because in the last match's first innings, the Bangladesh team could not make even 200 runs so if they make 400 then I think that they have to play just an inning. After all, if the Bangladesh team did not upgrade their performance, then for sure, they will not be able to chase 400 runs in two innings.

I think tomorrow they have to make 400 runs in less than 20 overs and then in the remaining overs, they have to out them in the day of tomorrow then I think we can expect that Sri Lanka team can be a winner again and the match will end with the same result.

Bangladesh is slowly falling out of the game of cricket.  It is very sad to think that Bangladesh lost the match against a team like Sri Lanka by such a huge margin of score. Once upon a time Bangladesh created a lot of hype in the game of cricket. Shakib Al Hasan was a great all-rounder and now he is slowly retiring from the game as he is getting involved in politics. It will take a long time for the Bangladesh team to turn around again and better players of better quality should be added to the Bangladesh team

I think this will be the worst series ever for Bangladesh because none of thier player show their magic not even a bowler nor batter which is awful, Thier first test mach performer were already worst and now they have almost same experience in second match because thier opponent sirilanka has scored 314 and still have those inn-form batter on bench which is I think indication of 400+ score for sirilankan in thier first innings. I think it's advance defeat again for Bangladesh until any mericle happed because in previous innings they can't even chased down a target of 250 so how it can be possible for them to chased 400+ and then give some handsome lead. Well such defeat will have huge impact on thier performance for upcoming world which will almost runied their journey

Sri Lanka is always a better and stronger side then Bangladesh. At the end of first days play Sri Lanka got firm grip over the match as they are 314 for the loss of 4 wickets. Shakib is no doubt great all rounder but to survive in cricket, Bangladesh need more players like Shakib in there squad. SL already at 314 with Kamindu Mendis still to come and Dhananjaya de Silva not out on 15.

Bangladesh is having a hard time in the series against Sri Lanka but don't you think it is too early to say it is their worst series ever. As we know that every team has tough times and cricket is game where anything can happen. We know Bangladesh can face tough challenge to score more than 400 runs but it is not impossible. By the way if they lost match so this will be  again a great opportunity to learn from mistakes and they can learn and can make a good comeback in another series.

I am not at all surprised by Bangladesh's performance. Bangladesh team is as usual very weak in Test format. And I don't remember if I ever saw this team win a Test match against Sri Lanka. Bangladesh team could not beat Sri Lanka even once in the last 10 matches. So naturally the Sri Lankan team is the favorite in this series.

Bangladesh was badly defeated in the first match. The performance of the batsmen in particular was very disappointing. And if the Bangladeshi batsmen can't perform well in this match, then definitely Bangladesh is going to be badly defeated. Sri Lanka have already collected 314 runs. So the Bangladeshi batsmen must play well, otherwise the team will be defeated by a big margin.

[FinePoine0]

Today the second innings of the second test match will start, let's see how the Bangladesh team can perform in this match. As the Sri Lankan team remained in control of the wicket collecting four wickets for 314 runs. The Sri Lankan team's attacking batting has basically fallen, but if they can perform well today, there is a possibility of total wickets falling. Chandimal and De Silva are currently in batting form, these two batsmen have brought home a partnership, if they can bring down these two, Bangladesh team can easily resist Sri Lanka team today.

The second innings of the second test match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka has already started. The way Dhananjaya de Silva and Dinesh Chandimal are batting, if the duo survives, the number of runs of Sri Lanka will increase, so the Bangladesh bowlers should break the partnership of these two batsmen. If Sri Lanka is under pressure, it will be very good for Bangladesh if the runs are reduced a bit. The way the Sri Lankan team is batting, it seems that Sri Lanka is going to give a big lead to Bangladesh. And if Bangladesh is given a lead of 400 runs, then the chances of Bangladesh winning the second test match against Sri Lanka will be very low. Defeated against. In the second test match, it will be seen how well the batsmen of Bangladesh can bat.

Bangladesh's weak bowling they are not able to get Sri Lankan team out.  Chandimal has already scored a half-century, scoring 57 runs off 95 balls. Chandimal's partnership with De Silva has been very good and he is very close to his half-century, scoring 47 runs off 68 balls. These two players have performed very well, thus if the Sri Lankan team can perform well today then it is definitely possible to collect 500 plus runs.

If Sri Lanka gives Bangladesh a lead of 500 plus runs then Bangladesh second test match will be very bad situation and Bangladesh team will lose very badly. However, the performance of the bowlers is always better than our Bangladeshi batsmen but in the second test match I see the opposite because the bowlers of Bangladesh are not able to perform very well where there is bowling like world best all rounder Shakib Al Hasan but still Bangladesh is not able to perform well. If the Sri Lankan team is batting the way they are batting, if they continue to bat, then it seems that the Sri Lanka team will score a mountain of runs.

Sri Lanka outstanding performance in the second test match was scored 411 runs in just loss of 5 wickets at the end of session 1. Srilanka now looking to scored more than 550 runs target for Bangladesh. Bangladesh poor bowling performance didn't pick wickets only Shakib Al Hasan picked 2 crucial wickets and Hasan Mahmud also picked 2 wickets. From Sri Lanka Kusal Mendis batting performance is amazing scored 93 important runs but unfortunately miss his well-deserved century by 7 runs short. Dhananjaya de Silva is playing at 70 runs not out and they gave good chance to scorea century and helped Sri Lanka to set a huge total for Bangladesh.

In 1 st test game between Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka team, this game was won by Sri Lanka team and in this game, Sri Lanka batting lineup was brilliant and most players showed very outstanding struggle and woj this game by big margin of runs. Today 2 nd test game,  one day was ended and Sri Lanka team scored 314 runs in 90 overs and losing 4 wickets and their 1 st Inning is still continuing. N.Madushka scored 57 runs with dismissed in 105 balls, D.Karunaratne made 86 runs in 129 balls. D.de Silva and D.Chandimal  both are currently batting in pitch, D.de Silva batsman effort was impressive in 1 st test game. I believe that this game also won by Sri Lanka team and Sri Lanka team is much stronger than Bangladesh team.

I think this is a condition where the team of Bangladesh should have to take a new step and according to the current situation, we are not seeing that they can chase the target because to chase 434 runs is not a cup of tea.

Now, they have to take a step on the way where they can draw the match. If the Sri Lankan team wins this match, then Bangladesh will be whitewashed, but if they draw the match, in this condition, the Sri Lanka team also win the series but at least any respect will be left for the Bangladesh team. I think it is the best thing for Bangladesh to draw the match.

Bangladesh 'pay the price' for multiple dropped catches as Sri Lanka take control

Bangladesh 'pay the price' for multiple dropped catches as Sri Lanka take control

I don’t agree with you on some points as you said Bangladesh has to tie the match but I think first of all they have to try their opening batsmen to play with confidence and make a good start.

If those can’t be open like Sri Lanka and they judge that they cannot chase it then this condition will be good for thinking defensive when some batsmen fail to play well. I am trying to say they have to fight until the last ball and when they think or judge that they are not able to chase then they have to take a step where the match can be drawn.

First of all, they have to use their resources on how to win the match. If a team is being defensive right from the beginning, they will usually lose the match even before the start of the match. No matter how weak is the team, it is the body language that matters in the end.

I think you may be right to some extent but at the same time if you say Bangladesh has to try their batsmen luck and if they can’t chase then try to draw the match but every batsman of any team wants to play well and be a cause for the victory for their team. Every batsman thinks he will change the game but to do this process if the match will be gone like Bangladesh losing quick wickets and the score might be 200/9 then what will they do?

Also, they had been under pressure and due to rivalry, they had the embarrassment of losing that’s why, if they working from right now to tie the match then it will be better for the Bangladesh team.

The first is should not be to win the match but to save the match. Once you see that the match is saved, then the remaining players can go for the kill depending upon the wickets in their hands, the situation of the game and also the time left in the game. This is more true for a team that is currently facing a bad performance or is an underdog team.

[JSRAW]

Jeez! 146 overs and counting in such heat with no help from the pitch for bowlers and the Lankans are not trying to up the ante with the bat or showing any signs of declaration.

Atm it looks like a typical Subcontinent pitch. One would hope that it's a flat deck for the first 2-3 days and then starts misbehaving and assisting spinners. Hope, it's not going Pindi's way, that would be disappointing.

[HelliumZ]

Today is the second day of the Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka second test but the two sessions of the second day are already over and the last and third session is going on. But Sri Lanka's collection is close to 500 runs and Sri Lanka's batting style looks like Sri Lanka will finish today's game and not invite Bangladesh to bat. After finishing today's game, it is very likely that Bangladesh will be able to bat from the first session tomorrowAnd if Sri Lanka sets Bangladesh a target of more than 500 runs, it is difficult to predict how much it will be possible for Bangladesh to fill up that target and get a draw or win. However, it is very likely that Bangladesh will lose the second test because the batting line of Bangladesh is not at all suitable for Test cricket.
