Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]

Bangladesh's batting and bowling lines were very good in the first test, but Bangladesh's batsmen performed very poorly in the second test. Bangladesh's batting line-up was very poor, no batsman could make even half a century. Zakir Hasan and Nurul Hasan have been performing very badly, they could not do well even in the first match. Bangladesh were all out for just 172 runs. The batsmen of Bangladesh disappointed everyone with their poor performance, but the bowlers surprised everyone with their excellent performance. New Zealand went into bat with a lead of 172 runs given by Bangladesh and so far have lost 5 wickets and collected only 55 runs. I did not expect such a bad performance from a batting line-up team like New Zealand. I thought New Zealand would be able to give a lead of 100 plus runs even after scoring 172 runs. Taijul Islam and Mehidy Hasan Miraz bowled brilliantly to keep New Zealand under pressure. Glenn Phillips and Daryl Mitchell need to form a good partnership, if they both get out then New Zealand will be all out soon. It looks like New Zealand will be all out quickly tomorrow.

spin attack from Mirpur, Mirpur is called a spinner's heaven where spinners get extra advantage. In Bangladesh's innings, New Zealand's spinners have collected 8 wickets, on the other hand, five wickets of New Zealand have been taken by Bangladesh's spinners so far. So it is impossible for New Zealand to give an innings target of 200 runs in this Mirpur Test. There is no possibility of a draw in this test. Because the Test in Mirpur will not be played on the fifth day.

Yes, Mirpur is the turning point for the spinners of the Bangladeshi Team. Spin is the magic for winning the game. In the Bangladesh team, Miraz is the master of spinners for Mirpur stadium as well as Tajjul. The statistics on wickets taken by spinners from both teams emphasize the spin-friendly conditions. The statement also suggests that a draw is not possible, and the test match will not extend to the fifth day.

Zakir Hasan wicket keeper Batter
Mushfikur Rahim wicket Keeper batter
Nurul Hasan Wicket Keeper batter

Mushfikur Rahim, Bangladesh's best wicket keeper batsman Mushfiqur Rahim is actually not comparable to him. An unfortunate dismissal stopped his innings at 35 today. I don't want to comment about him because he is the pride of Bangladesh.

Nurul Hasan and Zakir Hasan in recent matches. It can be frustrating when key players don't deliver as expected. However, it's important to remember that player form can vary, and decisions about squads are made based on various factors, including overall skill, experience, and team strategy.

As for Mushfiqur Rahim, it's acknowledged that he is considered one of Bangladesh's best wicketkeeper batsmen. Sometimes, despite a player's skill and track record, they may face unfortunate dismissals or periods of lower performance.

[Jateng]

Bangladeshi tail added quite a few crucial runs, as Ajaz Patel and Mitchell Santner wobbled against the tailenders. In the end, Tim Southee had to be brought in to pick the wicket of Shoriful Islam. Bangladesh made 172 runs. That doesn't mean that New Zealand will get the upper hand in case they make a score of more than 200. They need to bat during 4th innings on this minefield. Therefore they should try to get a lead of at least 100 runs in the first innings. So far Tom Latham and Devon Conway have started the proceedings rather cautiously.

In 2nd Test Bangladesh made 172 for all out in 2nd session of Day 1. No player from Ban team made fifty Mishfiqur Rahim scored 35. From NZ side ijaz patel takes 2 wickets while Glenn phillips and Mitchell santner each took 2, 2 wickets. NZ are playing 55/5 runs in first innings Phillips and Mitchell are on the crease. They need to make good partnership to put pressure on Bangladesh. After not good in batting Ban Bowling very well. What a excellent spell by Mehidy Hasan 17/3 in 6 overs and Taijul Islam takes 2 wickets New Zealand trail by 117 runs and 5 wickets in hand now.

[Popkon6]

The Bangladesh team is very disappointed with their performance at their home ground, because the number of runs is very low in Test matches and the fall of wickets is high. Whereas Nazmul Hasan Shanto, Zakir Hasan, Mominul these three main batting form but their performance is very poor. Because in Test matches, you have to stay on the field for a long time by protecting wickets, that is the main goal, but Bangladesh team's wickets fell one after another in the domestic field. But meanwhile New Zealand team players are seeing more wicket fall. If the Bangladesh team can perform like this bowling performance against New Zealand then they can surely ensure victory.

[hafiztalha]

Acting Bangladesh captain Nazmul Hossain Shanto won the toss and decided to bat first at the Sherbangla Stadium in Mirpur. The New Zealand bowlers squeezed Bangladesh from the first over. The opening pair of Zakir Hasan and Mahmudul Hasan did not make a good run. As soon as Zakir Hasan got out, the wickets of the Bangladesh team fell one after another. In the end, Bangladesh were all out for 172 runs. The dream was to win the Test series against New Zealand for the first time at home. But such batting failure of the Tigers in the first innings really disappointed the cricket fans. New Zealand is batting against a target of 173 runs given by Bangladesh. Bangladesh's bowlers should bowl brilliantly to bowl New Zealand out for 172 runs. Meanwhile, New Zealand's collection is 3 wickets for 34 runs. If Bangladesh wants to win this Test series, New Zealand must be bowled out within their allotted 180 runs, then maybe Bangladesh can win the Test series.

Now 2 nd game of ICC test series between Bangladesh team and New Zealand team has already taken place in ground. 1 st test game already won by Bangladesh team with outstanding effort in bowling and batting lineups. In Today 2 nd game, Bangladesh team first won toss and decide to set a target to New Zealand team. Bangladesh team effort in current game was very poor and did not scored very well. In first inning, M.Rahim scored 35 runs in 83 balls and he hitted three 4s and one 6s. S.Hussain scored 31 runs in 102 balls and he hitted two 4s. M.Santer and G.Phllips both these bowler of New Zealand team each bowled out 3 wickets on pitch and showed excellent performance in bowling lineup. Now New Zealand team trail by 117 runs and chase down 55 runs with and performance and losing 5 wickets. Let's see in 2 nd day of this test game, New Zealand team will chase down remaining target or not.

Zakir Hasan wicket keeper Batter
Mushfikur Rahim wicket Keeper batter
Nurul Hasan Wicket Keeper batter

Both of Bangladesh can be kept as wicket keeper batsmen but Zakir Hasan did not do much as a batsman in the first Test. Is it reasonable to include him in the team in today's Dhaka Test? An all-rounder should have been included in the squad instead.

Nurul Hasan Wicket Keeper batsman, What is the point of keeping this famous wicket keeper batsman in the squad if he is out for just seven runs?

Zakir Hasan Wicket Keeper batsman, This gentleman batsman has not played well in a single match till date but he opened in the best opening pair of Bangladesh. Today also he is out for only 8 runs. Is there any reason to keep them in the squad?

Mushfikur Rahim, Bangladesh's best wicket keeper batsman Mushfiqur Rahim is actually not comparable to him. An unfortunate dismissal stopped his innings at 35 today. I don't want to comment about him because he is the pride of Bangladesh.

Yes, I don't see any reason to have such a player in the squad. The batting they do, a bowler can bat better than him. I don't see the need for so many wicket keeper batsmen in the team. No other wicket keeper batsman of Bangladesh compares with Mushfiqur Rahim. Mushfiqur Rahim is one of the best wicket keeper batsman of Bangladesh. I don't understand one thing, what the Bangladesh selectors look at and announce the squad. We have seen World Cup missions fail before. It can be seen that those who are given opportunities are getting opportunities again even if they perform poorly. And there are many people who try hard but are not given any chance. The batting line of the Bangladesh team is very bad, the bowling line is somewhat good. To improve the Bangladesh team, those who cannot perform must be changed from the squad.

Ever since one of the best opening batsmen Tamim Iqbal is out of the team, Bangladesh opening batting has not been able to perform well. Tamim Iqbal is very needed in Bangladesh team.

~snip~ The batsmen of Bangladesh disappointed everyone with their poor performance, but the bowlers surprised everyone with their excellent performance. New Zealand went into bat with a lead of 172 runs given by Bangladesh and so far have lost 5 wickets and collected only 55 runs. I did not expect such a bad performance from a batting line-up team like New Zealand. ~

There is nothing about the poor batting and excellent bowling in this test match. It is the condition of the pitch which is helping the spin bowlers to get the wickets easily. The 'Shere Bangla National Stadium' may receive demerit points if the pitch conditions remain same until the end of the match. 15 wickets have fallen in the day 1, where the spinners took 13 of them.

Although Bangladesh team has done a very poor batting performance at home ground and I think Bangladesh has done a great bowling performance as well. While batting in the first innings Bangladesh team lost their entire wicket with 172 runs, could not collect much runs till the last minute. But later when New Zealand came to bat, New Zealand's batting performance was worse due to which they lost wickets very quickly. In Test matches, playing by the wicket is the most important tension, the team must lose, and neither team could play with the wicket. Because of which Bangladesh also lost wickets very quickly and in New Zealand they lost wickets very quickly. The New Zealand team had their worst performance since the start of the game where they lost 5 wickets with 55 runs in just 12.4 overs.

[3kpk3]

Taijul Islam and Miraz are ripping apart the NZ batting line-up at the moment. Phillips and Mitchell are their last proper batsmen and am expecting the Kiwis to trail Bangladesh after the first innings.

Miraz seems to be the next Shakib in my opinion since he is an amazing all-rounder.

[noormcs5]

The wait is finally over and another test series is coming, tomorrow is the tour match and after that match the real series will be started and we all are excited about it. The Pakistan test series has come after such a long time, and i hope to see some close matches.

Tomorrow is the first match of the Pakistan with Australia test, actually, it is not the first this is a tour match so this match doesn't have a link with the series, this match is like a warm-up match.

Anyway, this is the first test match of Shan Masood as captain of the Pakistan team, and recently Shan Masood said in a press conference that we are going with the replacement of Rizwan so let's see if he stays with his decision. I think this is a good decision because recently Sarfraz played very well in the National Cup, but on the other hand Rizwan is also a main player so let's see what happens in tomorrow's match.

The captain of Pakistan team shan masood is good test player, Now see how he perform captincy role against Australia test series. I think the decision of Sarfraz ahmad is playing instead of Muhammad Rizwan is not good because Muhammad Rizwan is outstanding batters and wickets keepers he play spin very well. Sarfraz ahmad didn't play from a while but both played very fast cricket in test and in Australia picth Muhammad Rizwan played so many matches. But the decision of team management will be appreciated according to the team requirements.

The first day is over between the Pakistan and Australian Prime Minister team and in this, and I hardly believe on my eyes on Shan Masood's batting, he made 156 runs in 235 balls, he is a wonderful player in this innings,.

This is the first match of Shan Masood as the captain of the test team and he snatched all records in just a match. If you remember in the previous 2022 Babar Azam hit 196 runs against the Australian team so I think this is the second version of Babar Azam and that time the format was also tested and when Babar Azam was out all the team clapped for him and I think we see this again but with a different player, that is the captain of Pakistan, Shan Masood.

Bangladesh beat New Zealand by many runs in the first test match, New Zealand won the first innings from Bangladesh in the first match but Bangladesh won the match by more runs than New Zealand in the second innings. From how Bangladesh managed to collect very less runs in the first innings of today's second test match, but they are showing great performance in terms of bowling and have taken 5 wickets for New Zealand's 55 runs so far.  It is a plus point for Bangladesh to win the match. There is a possibility that Bangladesh may win the second Test against New Zealand

Yes, Bangladesh is playing well enough in the test match, they played very well in the first test match as well.  New Zealand played much better than Bangladesh in T20 and ODI matches, but Bangladesh's performance changed when it came to Test matches.  And looking at the performance of the game, it is expected that Bangladesh can beat New Zealand again this time.  But since the second innings is still left, nothing can be said for sure.  The performance of the second innings game will tell which team is going to win.  But I agree with you that Bangladesh will have slightly more chances to win

[Patrol69]

The second Test match between Bangladesh and New Zealand is being played in Dhaka and Dhaka is starting to show its true form. The first Test match in Sylhet ended well and I was looking forward to the result of the Dhaka Test and thought the Dhaka Test wicket would be very bad. As I thought, the wicket is really bad and the wicket that has been made is not a Test batting wicket at all. The wicket that Bangladesh produced against New Zealand will actually do the opposite for Bangladesh in bilateral away series. The first Test was a beautiful game and Bangladesh definitely fought back to win but the result in the Dhaka Test is not because of the performance of the players but because of the curator's wicket making.

That's totally madness.
15 wickets on Day 1, and it's no surprise that Bangladesh is dominating against the Kiwis. I want to give credit to the skill of the spinners from both teams; we saw some strange shots and unusual outs. Bangladesh could have scored 200 plus, but anyway, 172 is still enough on this surface. Hopefully, the result will come within 3 days, and it might favor Bangladesh.

Bangladesh performance disappointed me. I was thinking that they will make 300+ runs. But they only made 172 runs in and all team got out.
But if you take a look on the performance of the Bangladesh team in bowling line so I will appreciate the Bangali Bowlers. Like we can see Mehidy Hasan Miraz got 3 wickets. And again the hero of the first match who got 10 wickets in both innings again got 2 wickets. Everyone know that I am talking about Taijul Islam. I hope he will get more wickets tomorrow and may be New Zealand will not give any lead to Bangladesh.

[God bless u]

The first day is over between the Pakistan and Australian Prime Minister team and in this, and I hardly believe on my eyes on Shan Masood's batting, he made 156 runs in 235 balls, he is a wonderful player in this innings,.

This is the first match of Shan Masood as the captain of the test team and he snatched all records in just a match.

We were thinking that giving captaincy to unexperience player is bad decision but today Shan Masood proved that he is the right choice.. He rotating strike very comfortably which is impressive from 34 years player. Babar Azam , Abdullah Shafique and Sarfaraz also played well..

tomorrow big bash league is going to start and I checked out squad that many Australian players are available for big bash league. Australia will be playing with new players.. Pakistan players have the chance to improve their batting/bowling skills in this series.

[Sithara007]

For a moment I thought that New Zealand maybe having a chance in this test match. They bowled out Bangladesh for 172 and had them at 135/7 at one point. But in return, the Bangladeshi spin duo of Taijul Islam and Mehidy Hasan Miraz just destroyed them. They are reeling at 55/5 and I am not sure whether they will be able to reach triple digits. None of the New Zealand batsmen could handle Bangladeshi spin bowling and their highest total till now is 13 from Kane Williamson. I agree that it was a minefield. But if New Zealand is bowled out for double digits, then it actually exposes the brittleness in their batting.

[wiss19]

Bangladeshi tail added quite a few crucial runs, as Ajaz Patel and Mitchell Santner wobbled against the tailenders. In the end, Tim Southee had to be brought in to pick the wicket of Shoriful Islam. Bangladesh made 172 runs. That doesn't mean that New Zealand will get the upper hand in case they make a score of more than 200. They need to bat during 4th innings on this minefield. Therefore they should try to get a lead of at least 100 runs in the first innings. So far Tom Latham and Devon Conway have started the proceedings rather cautiously. 

As New Zealand spinners were bowling I was feeling good for the Bangladesh spinners because they are much better than visitors, and they prove this in last session after having few quick wickets Tajul and Mehdi both are at the top and now most chances they will not allow rest of the New Zealand batsmen and take few early wickets which will help them for having good lead and then with this advantage going into batting which could be crucial part of this test match.

Most chances Bangladesh will be taken 60 to 70 runs lead because situation is not in control of New Zealand after losing early wicket and this can allow Bangladesh for having good confidence for the third inning batting if they are able to score 190 to 200 runs then most chances they will seal this match and series as well without any problem.

[Out of mind]

Hopefully, the result will come within 3 days, and it might favor Bangladesh.

The batting performance of Bangladesh and New Zealand was really crazy today. Where both the teams lost wickets soon to the opposition and the run scores went down drastically. As the game is on Bangladesh's soil, Bangladesh can score after three days and have a chance to win against the Kiwis. But in today's match, however, the spinners' achievement and skill was outstanding, the few dismissals that came out were nice to see. Bangladesh has given a target of 172 runs and I think it will be very difficult for New Zealand to achieve this target, but if we see the results after three days, it can definitely say that the chances of Bangladesh winning are high.

New Zealand might lose the second Test match between Bangladesh and New Zealand as they have already lost 5 wickets for 55 runs.

Bangladesh won the toss first and decided to bat in this match and when they came to bat they fell into New Zealand's spin storm and were bowled out for just 172 runs.Chasing a target of 172 runs, New Zealand were unable to capitalize on their first innings as they were already 5 wickets down.
We have seen earlier that the pitch in Sylhet was spin friendly but Bangladesh Cricket Board has done the same pitch in Mirpur.Out of the ten wickets of Bangladesh, eight wickets were taken by the spin bowlers of the New Zealand team.Similarly, among the five wickets of the New Zealand team, three wickets were taken by Mehdi Hasan Miraj and two wickets by Taijul Islam.
New Zealand might be all out before 150 as their top order batsmen are already out.
