Too easy win for Pakistan. They chased this score in under 40 overs with 7 wickets still in hand. The main highlights of the Pakistan innings were Imam-ul-Haq  78 and Mohammad Rizwan 63 runs.

Yeh in my mind it's not an easy win for Pakistan but thier pacer factory did phenomenal job by departuring the most important wickets of Bangladesh in early stage of the match due which thier batting order collapse before scored some significant runs and the main reason of that situation are that they can't handle their nerves at pressure mounting situation, if Shakib and M.rahim didn't manage to build partnership of more than 100 runs then definitely they will below 180.
Any way Pakistan done a good job entirely and manage to chasedown the required target without any hesitation and thus won the important match of aisa cup on thier home ground.

Bangladesh is getting demolished by Pakistan at the moment. Their score was way too low to begin with thanks to bad performances by most batsmen while their bowlers aren't able to do much.

Imam and Rizwan scored half the runs themselves. Very bad performance by the Bongs in literally every department. Predictable encounter!

The pitch was not bowling friendly. A target of 193 runs was not enough to win on this pitch. If Bangladesh had scored like 280 then the match would have been very competitive. Since the target was very low, Pakistan's batsmen batted very cautiously. The batsmen are not in a hurry. Even then they lost three wickets. Mohammad Rizwan and Imam Ul Haque batted well in this match. Pakistan bowlers Haris Rouf and Naseem Shah also picked up 7 wickets. These two bowlers bowled brilliantly. And because of their excellent performance, they were able to stop the Bangladesh team within just 192 runs.

In this match Bangladesh team could have scored 250 runs if they had batted full 50 overs. But before reaching the moment, all the wickets fell in just 38 overs. There is no option but to send a lofty target to fight against the Pakistan team who currently ranked first in the ODI rankings. It was a foregone conclusion that Bangladesh would lose but if they could have scored a few more runs it would have been a very competitive game. For example, there was a match between Afghanistan and Sri Lanka which really managed to give the audience a lot of joy and excitement.

Seriously bro, today's match of Bangladesh disappointed me a lot, the batsmen batted responsibly in the previous match, today was the complete opposite. Pakistan's bowlers have also contributed to this as Pakistan's bowlers are currently showing a very strong performance.
However, the confidence that Bangladesh did in the next match by winning against Afghanistan, I thought that they can win today's match on the strength of that confidence, but in reality it did not happen.
Miraz, who had an excellent performance by scoring a century in the last match, returned to the pavilion after scoring a golden duck today. Among the responsible ones, Shakib Al Hasan has batted a bit responsibly and everyone else has done badly. I expected something better from Liton Das as well. I was very relieved to see him back in the team and he couldn't do anything either. Anyway congratulations to Pakistan team for the next stage.

Bangladesh's batting today depended on their two senior players, Mushfiq and Shakib. Apart from these two experienced batsmen, no one else in the team can play well. Pakistan's bowling attack can be said to be the best bowling attack in the world at present. Despite having young talented players in the team, they batted very poorly. Towhid Hridoy, Naim, Miraj and Afif are not playing well. Everyone is talented enough. But none of them can stay at the crease for long against the Pakistani bowlers. Bangladesh needed a more experienced squad. Looking forward to see how they prepare their squad ahead of the next World Cup. There is no possibility that Bangladesh will do very well in the World Cup with this squad. But we have to admit that Bangladesh's bowlers are doing great now.

I have some information for you about ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023. I want to ask you about the trophy of ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023 is on a tour of the countries, that are playing this ODI World Cup.

Finally, the trophy has reached in Pakistan for the tour and the trophy goes to some locations of Pakistan like Azhar Ali Cricket Academy and many more locations of Pakistan. You have a chance to see the trophy and Inshallah trophy will come again in Pakistan after World Cup.

Bangladesh needed more experienced batsman to face such strong bowling lineup of Pakistan. The youngsters played with fear and got out without any good contribution to the scoreboard. Shakib and Mushfiqur partnership had created some hope for Bangladesh, but they couldn't give a big target. The betting odds was only 1.02× for Pakistan to win the match after the first innings. Sri Lanka is favourite in the next match, but I think Bangladesh will make a comeback in it.

[Jateng]

Bangladesh started with a loss against Sri Lanka. However, they crossed the group stage barrier with an 89-run win over Afghanistan. But currently the number one team in the ODI ranking, the Tigers did not succeed in the bat-ball fight against Pakistan. As a result, Shakib Bahini started their Super Four mission with a defeat of 7 wickets. After winning the toss and batting first at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore

congratulations pakistan for a well-deserved win of seven wickets in their first game of the Asia Cup 2023 Super Four game against Bangladesh. Pakistan showcased their strength with a convincing victory. A classy knock from Mohammad Rizwan 63* from 79. Najmul Hossain Shanto and Haris Rauf are leading the charts in the most runs and wickets so far in the Asia Cup 2023. I think Bangladesh had a difficult day today there is always opportunity for a comeback in cricket, and I have no doubt that they will regroup and work to improve their performance in upcoming Matches of Asia Cup.

I would say that Pakistan is the strongest team in this year's Asia Cup. I consider Pakistan team stronger than India. Because Pakistan bowlers are in great form now. However, their batting line-up is a bit weak. Batsmen are not consistently playing well. However, Pakistan batsmen batted very carefully against Bangladesh today. As the target was below 200, Pakistan batted slowly. Even then, Pakistan lost three wickets. Bangladeshi bowlers Shariful and Taskin bowled very well. Experienced batsmen like Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam could not survive at the crease against the Bangladeshi bowlers. However, if they want to do well in the Asia Cup and the upcoming World Cup, Pakistan's batsmen need to bring more consistency in their performance.

Pakistan always had great bowlers throughout their history and there was a time when they had the best bowling lineup in the world and yet they were not able to perform well consistently with the bat and the same issue even now. I am certain that Pakistan batsman will struggle when they are chasing huge total, they have great players but under pressure they might stumble.

Under pressure the team players used to stumble, this can be seen often amidst the good batting line-up. The performance of Pakistan batting line-up used to be good when the team have good opening partnership. However at times it looks like the team is dependent on specific players. There is need of improvement, because of its lack of consistency. In recent matches I see Imam-Ul-Haq playing in a much responsible manner for Pakistan.

Seriously bro, today's match of Bangladesh disappointed me a lot, the batsmen batted responsibly in the previous match

Bro, you have to understand that this is our genuine performance. We have a lot of Lords in our team, and sometimes they forget where they belong. Bangladeshi selectors should think about what they are doing. Didn't they realize they needed a player like Mahmudullah in that situation? Bangladesh could not bat full fifty overs eight times in the last ten matches (If I am not wrong). Yet, they are talking about a strike rate of Mahmudullah Riyad.

Of course, experience has a greater value than so-called impact players. They have to understand the difference between T20I and ODI. We don't need a player who will score six and fours every over. We need a player to rotate, strike and play according to the match situation.

[Sithara007]

The scheduling is really shit. Pakistan played against Nepal at home, then travelled to Sri Lanka for their matches against India, and then again faced Bangladesh in Pakistan. And on 10th September they will once again be playing in Sri Lanka, to face India. All this in the gap of less than 2 weeks. This hybrid hosting system should not be repeated for any of the future tournaments, as it causes great inconvenience for the players, as well as for the fans. But to their credit, Pakistan players performed well despite all the jet lag.

Right, Pakistan has top bowling in past and world no 1 Team has best fast bowlers Most wickets in Asia Cup 2023 Haris Rauf 9 wickets 2nd Number also Pakistan nowlerNaseem Shah with 7 wickets and 3rd is Pakistani Shaheen Afridi with 7 wicketss. Pakistan pace trio has been brutal but the problem is players take pressure when chasing down a big target. Pakistan needed a little bit to improve his batting performance no doubt they have the best players like Babar Azam, Imam ul Haq and Muhammad Rizwan but needed to improve middle-order batting.

Babar Azam failed last Night match against Banagdesh only score 17 runs but Imam ul Haq played 77 runs innings and Muhammad Rizwan also scored a half century. His score 50 plus scores in Odis Sarfraz 13 (Innings 98) and Rizwan 13 (Innings 56) I think the Sarfaraz Vs Rizwan Debate ended here now next time never try to compare him with Sarfaraz he has already surpassed him in all the Formats. Haris Rouf is the player of the match by picking up 4 Crucial wickets in 6 overs.

Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah bowled well, but IMO it was Haris Rauf who made the difference. He struck when Bangladesh was recovering, picking up two quick wickets (Mohammad Naim and Towhid Hridoy). And once he was taken out of the attack (which was a blunder by the Pakistan captain), Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim were able to settle in and build a good partnership for the 5th wicket. However once Faheem Ashraf got Shakib, it was all over for Bangladesh. Rauf and Naseem then returned to clean up the tail.

Tomorrow is the second match of the Super Four of this Asia Cup, between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. If we look at previous matches of these two teams in the same Asia Cup, then Sri Lanka won easily against Bangladesh.

Let's see what happens this time. But, Sri Lanka may have more chances to win this match. But, Bangladesh's batting and bowling are also very good and Bangladesh is an amazing and good team.

Other than this , we have some other ODI matches also scheduled before the world cup.

The first ODI between South Africa and Australia will be played today at Bloemfontein, South Africa. Earlier the T20 series between the two team have been easily won by the Australian team as they are surely a superior team than South Africa. We have five ODI to be played in this series and I think Australia have a chance to white wash this series.

Also, the Australian team should focus on match practice in these matches, and try the best combination for the one day international as it will help them in the upcoming world cup.

The match will start in a few hours. Today is the first One Day International match between Australia and South Africa of this series. Australia won all matches in the T20 series very easily.

But this is One Day International, and in One Day International Australia's ranking is 2nd while, New Zealand's ranking is 4th. So, let's see what happens in this match. Both are amazing teams of ODI.

With India looking unstable and Pakistan being unpredictable, it looks like Australia will win the ODI world cup this time. South Africa is not doing well in recent times, partly due to selection issues. And England is looking weak ever since Jofra Archer got injured. Also, they failed to win the T20I series against New Zealand recently. At this point, Australia looks far ahead of the other teams. India and Pakistan maybe able to challenge them, but still the gap seems very wide. Anyway, most of the Australian players are used to Indian conditions, as they are part of IPL franchises.

Let's see what happens this time. But, Sri Lanka may have more chances to win this match. But, Bangladesh's batting and bowling are also very good and Bangladesh is an amazing and good team.  

Bangladesh lost by a big margin against Pakistan in Lahore yesterday. The wicket of the match in which Bangladesh was bowled out for 193 runs yesterday was a batting-supporting wicket, that is, a batsman can comfortably bat on such a wicket, but Bangladesh could not score good runs despite having such a beautiful batting-supporting wicket. Bangladesh has played three matches in the Asia Cup so far in which Bangladesh has lost both matches. The second match of Bangladesh's Super Four is against Sri Lanka, whereas Bangladesh has already lost the first match against Sri Lanka in the group stage. The match against Sri Lanka will be held in Sri Lanka so Sri Lanka will get extra support from the fans. To survive in this Asia Cup mission, Bangladesh must win tomorrow's match. If Bangladesh can win tomorrow's match, then there will be a chance to qualify for the next round.

I am certain that Pakistan batsman will struggle when they are chasing huge total, they have great players but under pressure they might stumble.

It's absolutely true that most of the time Pakistan won the matches due to best performance of thier pace factory and in reality they were known for best bowling team because they have history of all time best bowler like waseem, waqar, Akhtar, Asif, Amir and now the current trio. But most of the time they struggle when it come to bat, now after debut of young man like Baber and Rizwan , Imam Pakistani batting order start thier healing phase.
So the point is that currently Pakistan team is underdogs they can done anything like they can lose important match from Zimbabwe but can get 10 wicket victory for team like India, so it's true that they were in trouble during chase but if any two pair batter( Fakhar and Imam, Imam and Baber, Baber and Rizwan) set on ground with a significant partnership then there is high possibility that they will won the game
