ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[fuguebtc]

Bangladesh chased 114 runs within just 15 overs and won the match by 8 wickets. It's a big moment for them in the white ball format. Nahid Rana 5 for 24 and Mehdi Hassan Miraz 3 for 28 destroy Pakistan's new and inexperienced batting lineup.

After this, Tanzid Hasan's 66 runs are a good start to this series. With this performance, most likely Bangladesh will win this series by 3 - 0.

This team is always dangerous in home matches. I have been watching cricket for a long time. I have only seen Bangladesh play well at home. I am sure that if the match had been held in Pakistan, Bangladesh would have lost.

But it is definitely commendable that they played well. Normally we do not see this team play so incredibly well. Especially they reached the target in just 15.1 overs. I was surprised to see it.

Nahid rana took 5 wickets in just 7 overs. And Miraz took 3 wickets. Pakistan's total from the opening pair was 41. Pakistan lost 9 wickets to collect the next 41 runs. I do not know how long we will see such erratic performance from their batsmen.

This odi game was ended and this game was completely one sided because Pakistan batsmen performed very poor. In start of game, Bangladesh team won toss and they elected field lineup first and gave batting line to Pakistan team. Pakistan batsmen set 114 runs target in 50 overs by losing all wickets. Farhan batsmen batted well in opening of line and he made 27 runs in 38 balls and hitted four 4s. Nahid bowler bowled very well and he took down 5 wickets in 7 overs and gave 24 runs. Mehidy effort was very helpful in bowling and he dismissed 3 wickets of Pakistan team. Bangladesh team won 1 st ODI game by big margin 209 balls and 8 wickets. Saif did not perform well in opening of line and made only 4 runs. But Tanzid showed brilliant effort and he scored 67 runs in 42 balls and hitted seven 4s and five 6s.

Congratulations Bangladesh team won 1 st ODI game out of 3.

By the way, when Faheem came, it was very hard for Faheem Ashraf and Talat because these are the batters who used to come at the last 10 overs or maximum at the last 15 overs, but this time he came so early because of Pakistan's poor batting early on.

These are both the hard hitters, and it was too early for them to bat and at that time they also had to stop the ball, and surely it is a tough task for batsman like them to tackle such situations because they both are playing totally opposite to their natural game.

After this, Tanzid Hasan's 66 runs are a good start to this series. With this performance, most likely Bangladesh will win this series by 3 - 0.

The pitch in Shere Bangla National Stadium is always difficult for batting. The inexperienced players of Pakistan will face difficulties to play there for this reason. So, there won't be anything to surprise if Pakistan lose the series by 3 - 0. But I'm expecting Pakistan to win the second match. Pakistan may do better if they bowl first in the match. The fearless batting of Tanzid Hasan Tamim helped Bangladesh to win the match easily.

Pakistan may not have performed well because of the stadium but I think the main reason for the defeat is the change in the team because before that the batsmen were used to facing every difficult bowling and there is no doubt that they did not lose a single series before the World Cup.This time the new batsmen did not impress some special fans.Pakistan aim of 114 was the lowest in ODI matches.They always give a tough aim to their opponents.I agree with you.Let see if Pakistan maintains their success against Bangladesh.But in the first match Sahib zada Farhan and Salman Ali Agha should have taken the batting responsibility because most of the other batsmen were inexperienced.Talking about Bangladesh I like their bowling due to which Pakistan got into trouble.

Pakistan Vs Bangladesh

[...]

Situation is very tense in first one day game at Sher-e-Bangla National stadium in Mirpur.
I feel that game is now resting on the backs of Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Ali Agha who are trying to put their pair on track to fight an unstoppable attack by Nahid Rana.
As long as they can push score to your 260 mark like you said, fast bowlers of Pakistan have chance to fight, although at this time it is Bangladesh control of middle overs that makes them likely ones to win 1-0 series.

This match consists of 50 overs in which Pakistan and Bangladesh teams are involved. In this match, Bangladesh gave Pakistan a chance to bat first, due to which the Pakistan team gave a target of 114 runs, which they have scored very little. The overs were more, so they should have scored more, but they failed to do so. Pakistan has scored very little. I was hoping that they would score more, but they did not do so. From their team, Faheem Ashraf scored only 37 runs and along with him, Sahibzada Farhan scored 27 runs. They should have kept their batting strong and scored more runs, but failed. In comparison, Tanzid Hasan has scored 67 runs, who is not out. He has put in an effort for his team and supporting him, Najmul Hossain Shanto has scored 27 runs. He has kept his batting strong, due to which they have achieved their desired target and that is why they have achieved this

[Compromise me]

I didn't know that there was a cricket match today. I checked the scoreboard and was very surprised. What a strange batting Pakistan is doing!!!! Pakistan has lost 8 wickets after scoring 81 runs. Pakistan will probably not be able to score even 100. Pakistan has not done well in the World Cup. On the other hand, Bangladesh team has not participated in the World Cup. I thought Pakistan would do well. But in the first match of the series, Pakistan team faced a terrible batting disaster.

Pakistan International cricket team has low standard because they have reference players as we know that Shaheen Afridi has zero performance in all formats and Salman Ali Agha has no performance in any format because he is a captain of T20 cricket team and that kind of teams cannot do well in any tournament and we saw flop team in the last tournament where all players were selected with no performance. We know Shadab who no fitness and always was expensive in BBL and Shaheen was expensive in BBL and he was injured in that tournament and he did come back without performance in the team .  There should be players like Zaman Khan who can bowl well in death overs and we saw flop batting of Pak players in this match.

It was a bad day for me. I thought pakistan would try to make a comeback after the world cup failure. But now their performance has become even weaker.

I cannot agree with you that pakistan's squad is weak. Every player in Pakistan's squad is talented. But for some unknown reason, their performance started to become erratic after a few days of getting a  chance in the national team. Babar azam was one of  the best players in the world at U- 19 level. But now his performance  is weak. Similarly , Shaheen shah afridi was also a great bowler. His  performance has also declined badly.

Pakistan Vs Bangladesh

The first game of Bangladesh and Pakistan ODI series was going to start to tomorrow and if we overview both teams squads then in Pakistani team we found bowling attack like in the form of Shaheen and Haris and also Pakistan has some world class and experienced player like Muhammad Rizwan and in Bangladesh side Bengal Tigers has a strong bowling squad of spinners and also have good batting line up and Bengal in there home grounds looks really in different waves and seems to be a tough opponent and previously they beat almost every strong teams like India and Australia in there home conditions and no doubt Pakistan squad seems to be stronger than Bangladesh but Bangladesh has the edge of home conditions and also Bengal pitches are slow and supporting spinner bowling and Bangladesh have also world well known spinning attack and in tomorrow match If analyzing all the conditions then may be Bangladesh won the game the main reason behinds that is the edge of home conditions to Bangladesh.

Yes, exactly the same way they played in the World Cup, they played against Bangladesh. The Pakistan team disappoints me a lot. They should have whitewashed the series against Bangladesh, but they managed to give away only 114 runs in the ODI series. Their condition is very poor. They should prepare and play. The way Bangladesh has played proves how strong and good their effort is. Pakistan bowlers could not put Bangladesh under any pressure and could only take 2 wickets, while they should have controlled Bangladesh till the end, but Bangladesh controlled Pakistan and achieved an easy target. If Pakistan loses this series, then there is a possibility of sinking for them because Bangladesh does not have much strength, yet they are succeeding.

It was a bad day for me. I thought pakistan would try to make a comeback after the world cup failure. But now their performance has become even weaker.

This poor performance by Pakistan has really shocked us, especially for a classic ODI playing team like Pakistan to get all out for 114 against Bangladesh, it is unacceptable for Pakistani cricket.
Actually, who should be blamed for Pakistan's poor performance in today's match? It is not right to blame the wicket pitch of Bangladesh's Mirpur. Pakistan could not bat but later it was seen that Bangladesh performed very well and defeated them by a big margin of eight wickets.

[JunaidAzizi]

A third class performance was added to the Pakistani team's records, leaving many disappointed and hurt by their performance. The runs they scored were what other weaker teams do in T20 matches, and they managed to do it in an ODI match what a shame for them. Bangladesh is a good team, no doubt, but the Pakistan team should be able to handle them easily. However, this time they showed that they did not learn from their previous performance. They were eliminated from the T20 World Cup and went straight to the Bangladesh series, but they didn't have to go there. At the very least, they should practice on what they lack in the tournament..

This was a very important match between Pakistan and Bangladesh, in which the Pakistan team did not know that they were not playing because this was the first ODI match between them in which Pakistan was batted first and they did not create a good target and in about 30 overs all their players were also out. A target of 114 runs was set in the last over. In 50 over ODI match, only two or three players can score so many runs, but in this match Pakistan had very good players who were out in the beginning, due to which perhaps their remaining players were broken, but the other team, which was the Bangladesh team, had to take advantage of it and they did. Pakistan's bowlers got two of their players out, but how long did they keep it up? In the end, they had already lost this match by giving such a low target, which the Bangladesh team completed in 15 overs and achieved a brilliant victory.

Pakistan fell to ground at 114 after 30 overs following huge fall in batting led by Nahid Rana of Bangladesh. This is shameful loss as Pakistan gave their old stars rest and gave out too many new players in team making them lack skill in team to stop mental fall of team after first wickets were lost.
I think it was not just luck but smart error since now Bangladesh is strong team in its own country that knows how to give pain on badly set up other team. This big loss which Bangladesh did within short time of 15 overs shows now problem felt by Pakistan to always play well under steady bowling and high stress.

This is the same BAN team that was not included in the tournament before this game, one of the reasons for this was their lack of performing and strength, and PAK had gone to 8 teams in the tournament and they should be ashamed that they have been seen playing so badly that even in the one day international game, their aim was only 114. Even the capable players of PAK could only score 27 runs and among them Ashraf scored 37 runs and the performing of the rest of the players is useless in front of us and they could not win this game in any way. BAN players Shanto and Hasan completed this aim with nice performing. PAK players play meaninglessly and purposefully, which has no justification so they lose games in every game due to their bad form.

These are just normal things for the Pakistan team. In any given day, they can get bowled out for 114, and the very next day they will make 364. We are talking about one of the most inconsistent teams in international cricket. They were 41/0 when Sahibzada Farhan and Maaz Sadaqat were at the crease. Once Farhan got out, it triggered a chain of events, and middle order collapsed like a peck of cards. Faheem Ashraf towards the end added some valuable runs and made sure that Pakistan get to a three digit total. But it was the two Bangladeshi spinners (Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Nahid Rana) who dominated throughout the match.

[CryptoYar]

[...]

Even though starters began on excellent way, middle batters fell apart like deck of cards against spin trap as set by Mehidy Hasan Miraz whose strong bowling mostly ended the game at an early point despite the rare late runs by Faheem Ashraf.
As long as Pakistan learns to value being at pitch instead of taking dangerous shots in middle parts then they will continue being annoyingly unsteady team to their fans. And you are quite right about inconsistency of this team they can do anything at anytime.
