ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

Looks like Bangladesh is struggling now. They have already lost three important wickets - Anamul Haque, Litton Das and Najmul Hossain Shanto. The third one was cleaned up by Umran Malik. And I am curious to see the performance by Umran. He was given so many opportunities, and till now he failed to make full use of it. Can he pick up a 5-wicket haul today, and silence his critics for sometime? Mohammed Siraj also performed well, by picking up two wickets. And just now, Shakib Al Hasan got out to the bowling of Washington Sundar.

Both team have shown poor batting in the first ODI. I am still not sure why Bangladesh choose to bat first after winning the toss. At the moment it looks like the pitch is favouring Indian bowlers and would have done the same for Bangladeshi bowlers. It is too early to come into any conclusion but if Bangladesh wants to win the match then they need to score 250+ runs as India's batting is pretty much in shambles and a target of 250+ would be big for Indian batters.

There is one more big wicket is gone it's Shakib Al Hasan. It's seem india is constantly putting pressure on Bangladesh today . I don't think Bangladesh can hold their position in this series. And this is the time for India to equalize this series. It's already looking like India are going to have success today on their bowling side , I think they can't make run more than 200 today. I am taking India for my betting Today.

Yeah... making a total of 200 looks increasingly difficult for Bangladesh. Shakib al Hasan has also got out now, and their middle order and lower order looks quite brittle. IMO, Bangladesh did the mistake by batting first. After winning the toss, they should have asked the Indians to bat first. It worked for them in the first game, and there was no real reason to change the tactic for the second match. Right now they are in real bad shape at 71/6. And surprisingly the out of form Washington Sundar has picked up 3 quick wickets to wreck the Bangladeshi batting lineup.

Indian is a good team for cricket game and also Bangladesh too. So it becomes difficult to predict tomorrow's 2nd ODI match between the two teams . However, predictions point towards India as very good cricketers . And maybe India will emerge victorious in the 2nd ODI . And that match will be won or lost in very few overs and wickets different

Bangladesh always performs well at home. They are capable of defeating any strong team. And in the first match, Bangladeshi players proved their ability. They got a great win against India. And Shakib demolished the Indian batting line-up. Apart from KL Rahul, no other batsman could perform better. I think the second match will also be very competitive. But India will win the second match.

You rightly said that Bangladesh cricket team always perform well at their home ground. But when they go out to play big tournaments, they don't get even a drop of this performance. In fact, always performing well at your home ground does not reach the peak of improvement. Bangladesh team will have to work hard so that they can put up such a good performance in the away t20 ODI series.

This year's Bangladesh ODI team captain Liton Das is trying to get his team going well and Shakib Al Hasan, Tamim Iqbal and other players have started their game better than before. And they won the last ODI match too.  But there are doubts whether Bangladesh will win tomorrow's ODI match or not.  It seems that India will win this time

India team last visited Bangladesh in 2015. Many may remember those matches. The two teams contested the three-match ODI series, where Bangladesh won. Mashrafe Mortaza-led Bangaldesh team and won the series by winning the first two ODIs in Dhaka. The third ODI was also played at the same venue, India winning the game to avoid a whitewash. At that moment, India lost Rohit Sharma who scored 29 after a decent start but managed to maintain a healthy run rate with a 75-run second-wicket partnership between Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli. The disaster that happened to Bangladesh team is not possible to recover in today's match.

Bangladesh vs India 2nd ODI match starts.Bangladesh won the toss and batting now.Bangladesh scored 104 runs in 26 overs.They have lost 6 wickets and have 4 wickets in hand.Bangladesh batting performance is poor.Looks like 180 runs.  Bangladesh will not be able to do much. India bowlers are performing very well in this match. We can see that India is doing well in bowling from the beginning.

[coinism]

Bangladesh batsman Shakib Al Hasan played a very poor game in this match. I thought Shakib Al Hasan will score 50 runs today but Shakib Al Hasan didn't do that. He scored 8 runs in 20 balls.  India will win today's match very easily. Bangladesh proved once again that such a weak team.

Not everyday is Sunday and so is for cricketers. Shakib played his part in first ODI and now its responsibility of rest of team to play there part. Bangladesh are 138/6 in 33 overs and it looks like they will give target of maximum 200 to India. Washington Sundar is star bowler for India as he has picked up 3 wickets so far along with Siraj who has picked two wickets.

I don’t think Bangladesh is ever going to learn. After a bad performance in the first match, especially in the batting department, Bangladesh is again, failing to perform in this second ODI as well with the bat.

They have already lost six wickets. They have collected 144 runs in the 34 overs that have been bowled. Mahmudullah and Mehidy Hasan (the hero of Bangladesh in the first ODI) are batting right now. Mahidy is looking confident. Till now Bangladesh did not have any meaningful partnership at all. It was 69/6 in the 19th over by the way.

[coinism]

If Bangladesh sets a target of 200 runs in this match, then India will win the match very easily.  I think Bangladesh can't win this match in any way. We all know that Bangladesh's bowling line is very weak. Now it's a matter of seeing how many runs Bangladesh can give to India.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz is doing good with bat once again today as he is not out on 49 runs along with Mahmudullah who is not out on 37 runs. Partnership between both these players is of 85. In last ODI Bangladesh was able to bowl out India on 186, if Bangladesh can do same type of bowling today then they can win the match. But I am sure India wont repeat mistakes they made in first ODI.

[pakhitheboss]

Mahmudullah &Hasan have controlled the Bangladesh batting to a great extent. I think if they continue the way they are playing now Bangladesh will easily reach 250. Anything above 250 would be a good target to defend for the bowlers. Indian bowlers gave a good early start but we're not able to maintain the pressure. Thakur, Patel and Chahar have failed to get any wickets and have been expensive too. Things are not looking good for India at the moment.

Bangladesh scored 188 runs in 43 overs. They lost 6 wickets and did not lose any more wickets.  Bangladesh can now score 250 runs if they can play full overs. And if either Mahmudullah or Mehidy Hasan Miraz gets out then it will be very difficult for Bangladesh to score 250 runs.

Bangladesh team is doing amazing. The first 6 wickets were lost very quickly after that a good partnership of Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Mahmudullah brought Bangladesh's score to a reliable position. I am really stunned to see this different image of them in Mirpur Stadium. In today's match I thought maybe they would end the first innings within 100 runs but it didn't happen. They are now going for 250 runs. Probably today's match will be difficult for India.

It was beyond my imagination that the Bangladesh team would perform so well today. After losing 6 wickets for just 69 runs I predicted they would lose all wickets in 120. But Mahmudullah and Miraz make a wonderful pair. And Bangladesh lost their seventh wicket for 217 runs. Bangladesh's total at the end of 40 overs was 169/6. Now after 48 overs, Bangladesh's collection is 241 runs. The players are batting very well. It seems that Bangladesh will win today as in the first match and they will win the series.

I can't say whether Bangladesh will win today's match or not because some of India's big wickets fell in very short time in the last match. I believe it won't happen again. But it cannot be said that India will defeat Bangladesh very easily. Bangladesh roared like a Tiger on home ground. Mehidy Hasan Miraz's brilliant innings of 85 runs off 78 balls has managed to bring the Bangladesh team to a good position. Mehidy Hasan Miraz was the hero in the last match as well.

Absolutely stunning performance by Bangladesh. They have only three balls left for their innigs to end otherwise they would have easily set a target of 300 runs for India. They still have wickets in hand but after losing 6 wicket coming back into the game shows how inconsistent Indian bowlers are performing. In my opinion only Washington Sundar was productive as he not only took 3 wickets he was also economical. Sanju Samson again not playing in this match and his absence will hurt India's batting when they 271 runs.

Bangladesh set a target of 272 runs. It's unbelievable. I did not think that Bangladeshi batsmen will play so well. The pitch was not batting-friendly at all. And after losing 6 wickets for just 69 runs, we cannot believe that a team like Bangladesh can give a target of 273 runs. They scored more than 100 runs in the last 10 overs. Mirage was unbeaten on 100 off 83 balls. He is an amazing player. Bangladesh has more chances to win in today's match.

[rojan]

Bangladesh scored 173 runs in 50 overs. If Bangladesh can now bowl well and take the wickets of India's batsmen then Bangladesh team will have hope to win this match. And if the bowling performance is bad then India will have a big chance to win this match. Let's see what happens in the match.  Either till the end, it seems that we will see a tough fight between the two teams.

Incredible performance of Bangladesh team. Mehidy Hasan Miraz has such a wonderful power in his hands no one can believe if they are not watching today's match. What he did for the Bangladesh team. may be two of the best events in their cricketing history. Doing well in two consecutive matches from the bottom batting lineup that surprise every cricketer. He made a big score for the team and did not give up his century. In the last over, he needed 15 runs to make his hundred and he took it with a surprising performance.

Bangladesh's performance today was incredible for me, as Mahmudullah Riyad and Mehdi Hasan Miraj formed the cornerstone of the Bangladesh team when the top order batsmen fell for 69 runs.  They put up 148 runs against India, Bangladesh's highest partnership.  If the party is called Kandari then only Mehdi Hasan Miraj deserves.  In the end, Mehdi Hasan Miraj completed an unbeaten century.  And set the team a target of 272 runs.  However, if Bangladesh does well in the bowling department, this match can go in favor of Bangladesh.

Bangladesh is showing some wonderful batting performance in recent ODI, Mehidy Hasan Miraz scored a century and Mahmudullah scored 77 runs they give target of 273 to India.  
India batting lineup is struggling on Bangladeshi pitches as Virat Kohli is already out on 5 runs. If india wants to win this ODI they have to stay on pitch and make a partnership.
