ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

Bangladesh won the first match against Pakistan by a big margin, Bangladesh probably reached the target of victory in 15 overs. But in today's match they faced a big defeat. Bangladesh lost by a huge margin of 128 runs. And they lost all their wickets within 24 overs.

Pakistan had given a target of 275 runs. Considering the condition of the pitch, this is a big target. Pakistan's opener Maaz Sadaqat played the most important innings today. He scored 75 runs in just 46 balls. On the other hand, no one else in the Bangladesh squad could play well except Liton and Hridoy. The result of the series will depend on the last match of the series.

Yes, both team faced one loss each and that loss was a big one indeed. This match was totally dominated by the Pakistan bowlers. Their batsmen were little above average where we saw some good batting by Maaz Sadaqat and Salman Agha. But the real show was when the Pakistan team came to ball and they didn't let the Bangladesh batsmen score any runs.

Haris Rauf took three wickets and what a day for Maaz Sadaqat. He also took three wickets in the five overs that he bowled today. He truly deserves the player of the match.

This match was played between Pakistan and Bangladesh in which Pakistan showed a very good performance in which Bangladesh gave Pakistan a chance to bat first, due to which they scored 274 runs, which is a good score. This match consisted of 50 overs and Pakistan took full advantage of it, due to which they scored a big score. From the Pakistani team, Maaz Sadaqat scored 75 runs and supporting him, Salman Agha scored 64 runs and was run out. They still made an effort for their team and Haris Rouf was also not out. In comparison, the Bangladesh team came to compete. When this entire team was out for 114 runs, from the Bangladesh team, Litton Das scored 41 runs and Towhid Hridoy scored 28 runs. All the players from their team showed poor performance. They did not work hard for their team and did not play with dedication, that is why they faced failure and it  The advantage was taken by the Pakistan team. All the players of Bangladesh have scored very low scores compared to Pakistan, while Pakistan has won this match and tied the series 1-1 and due to rain, DLS method was used in this match, due to which Pakistan was declared the winner by 128 runs.

After losing the first match badly, Pakistani team must be happy to win the second match to level the series. Honestly I was not expecting a win from Pakistan side after seeing there performance in first match. Today was Maaz Sadaqat day, he first played an innings of 75 runs on just 46 balls and then with bowl he picked up 3 wickets. It was a coincident that in first match Pakistani team got out for 114 runs and now in second match the Bangladesh team got out for just 114 runs. The last match will be played on Sunday and will decide result of this series.

Today in the match between Bangladesh and Pakistan, I want to specially mention the way Salman Ali Agha got out, which was to be honest, very bad and hard luck for him. Even in this, there was no character of luck, it was all about logic.

That Muhammad Rizwan played the tip short and Salman Ali Agha moved two to three foots forward to have single as every batsmen do and ball touched his foot so he was helping to the bowler to handed over the ball but he was outside the crease and in this the bowler picked it by his own self and directly threw it towards the wicket. Salman Ali Agha also showed much aggression there, saying no sportsmanship and other things, but still this thing comes under the rule.

[Compromise me]

it was not an easy match for Bangladesh from begin with. But this rain has made it more difficult for Bangladesh to win. after the rain, the match begins with DLS method. now, Bangladesh need 243 run in only 32 over. they did also lost couple of their power play over. Which definitely Pakistan took advantage by playing

Hard hitter batsman Tanzid Tamim & Saif both got eliminated in our phase. Although Tanzid Tamim played an excellent match in previous one but days he couldn’t show his skills properly. Let’s see how Bangladesh performs at the end.

Bangladesh cricket team was all out at just 114 runs and no batter could play fast for his team and they gave wickets early in this match and target was big according to bowling lineup of Pak team and Pak have top quality spinners and seamers and Rauf took 3 wickets in this match and made place in the team and hr always try to make place where they are playing again small team and against big teams they could not do anything every time . Sadaqat played match winning inning in this match and made 75 runs With  strike rate of 163 and he also took 3 important wickets in this match and team won this match due to his all round performance.

Salman Ali Agha was out in very argued way when it came to the match against Bangladesh, after he tried to show kindness by picking ball to bowler. Since he was out of his line to do this when ball was still active he was at once taken out by the bowler, Mehidy Hasan Miraz by picking up ball and hitting the wickets. Even though much of people believed that this was unfair conduct, according to the rules of cricket, the out was very lawful because Agha was past his safe area. This unlucky event led to much anger and led to big crash in batting of Pakistan. Many fans are not happy with this action of Miraz but rules are rules. By the way Pakistan won this match easily. So let's wait for the final match.

Many thought that Bangladesh would win but Bangladesh proved them wrong. I had said earlier that I would not be surprised if Bangladesh lost and in the end that is what happened. Although the DLS method gave Bangladesh a tough target. But if it had not rained, could Bangladesh have won?

Bangladesh needs to make some changes in the playing XI for the 3rd match. Saif Hassan has failed in two consecutive matches so should he be given a chance in the 3rd match? In my opinion, it might be better to give a chance to Soumya Sarkar instead of Saif Hassan. The 3rd match is going to be the final match for both the teams and the team that wins will win the series. But I think it will be challenging for Bangladesh, if Bangladesh wants to win then the batsmen will have to perform well.

This is not first time we have seen such thing from Bangladesh cricket. In 2023 world cup, Angelo Mathews was timed out against Bangladesh and thats something done for the very first time in cricket. Agha Salman got out because of his own fault, he must have tried to make it to his crease rather then helping the bowler. Moreover Bangladesh players must also develop some sportsmen spirit because such tactic won't help them in winning matches. In both cases of Mathews and Agha, Bangladesh lost the match.

Such defeats are not new for Bangladesh, but we have seen such defeats many times in the past. The DLS system may have asked Bangladesh to score 243 runs in 32 overs, but that was not a difficult target for other teams, but it was definitely difficult for Bangladesh. Because Bangladesh lost three wickets for 13 runs in the beginning, it was not possible for Bangladesh to win tomorrow's match.

However, some changes need to be made in the top order for the Bangladesh team, especially Saif Hasan must be changed. Saif Hasan has been in poor performance for a long time, so he must be changed and someone new must be given a chance.

In this game, there were too many different things; one of the most important incidents in this game was about the controversial outburst of Salman Ali Agha. Yeah that is under the ICC rules but at the same time the ICC rule says that if the batsman is outside the batting crease and bowler comes in the batsman place and stops the batsmen way to reach to the wicket so in this case, it is not out.

By the way I think that Bangladesh should focus to out in skills before in the last 2023 World Cup, Bangladesh out to an Sri Lankan batsman using the rule of time out and that time also it was a big controversy because that was for the first time in the history of cricket.

Maaz Sadaqat has been the wonderful player in this match, amazing batting as well as amazing bowling. He is really a great all rounder. Also the way he was playing with the ball as well as with the bat, it was so familiar with Saim Ayub, who used to bat as an opener and then come as the part spinner often in leagues and even for the Pakistan cricket team, often he delivers the first over and most of the time never disappointed his team. So at the same time, if Pakistan got Maaz Sadaqat it means they got the replacement for Saim Ayub.

Such capable batsmen and bowlers are very rare in the Pakistan team, if they play well and support the Pakistan team, they can go enough strong. This batsman scored 75 runs and took 3 wickets which has shown a lot of strength in Pakistan victory. If he remains in this team, I hope that the Pakistan team will become very strong and good than before. He has proved to his other batsmen that playing with hard work and good effort makes the team as strong and successful as possible. Although this is the same hard work and effort that continues in every match, then this Saim Ayub will also be a hardworking player who will keep Pakistan very strong and victorious. Now in the last match he should play with the same effort so that people start liking him a lot.

By the way, finally Shaheen Shah Afridi played well, getting a couple of wickets in his five overs. He is making and repeating some mistakes, but I think he should practice it and also needs to try to change his mindset.

First of all I think that at the depth overs, there was four overs remains and Shaheen Shah Afridi came, he was hungry for a six but should not do this, on the other hand there was also Faheem Ashraf so in those four overs Shaheen Shah Afridi could provide strike to Faheem and also after doing running between the wickets, they were able to reach about 274 and if they would play something something different so Pakistan might crossed 300. Well, like this, there are many small mistakes they should avoid to keep Pakistan a good team.

How the match started and went on at the start I believed they will score 320+ because of Farhan's great start followed by Maaz sadaqat's and Salman Ali Agha but at the End the wickets fell really fast. You're right about shaheen, I think he is always chasing The sixes and tries to swing every ball but it shouldn't be like tha, sure it can be beneficial if you don't have another batter with you so you go on the front foot to lower the pressure but having a better and more experienced batter with you so the chance should be given to him and the strike should be rotated, overall the match went great. Pakistan bowled really well and Got the Result they Wanted.

Yes, Shaheen Shah Afridi could not survive the batting in last part of inning. There were five overs left when he was out. If Shaheen shah remained at the crease, Pakistan could have easily given the target of 300 runs. Now the final ODI match will be played between Pakistan and Bangladesh on Sunday. This series is very important for Bangladesh for qualifying ODI world cup 2027 if Bangladesh win this ODI series their ranking will improve . Bangladesh are at number ten in the points table while Pakistan is at foruth position on point table. If Pakistan performs as they did in the last ODi match then they wins the series, Pakistan's ranking will improve and can move from fourth position to the second position in the points table.

Of course Pakistan lost wickets quickly but still Pakistan gave a strong goal to Bangladesh.No matter how it started and ended winning is meaningful and Pakistan won against Bangladesh by 128 runs in which Maaz Sadaqat has been on top. Maaz Sadaqat has not backed down from his responsibility since he entered cricket. He did something special in every match. After Salman Ali Agha dismissal the rest of the batsmen also went weak and could not score many runs.Shaheen Afridi also bowled well but Maaz Sadaqat surprised everyone with his batting and bowling because he scored 75 runs and also took 3 wickets and Haris Rauf supported him a lot.Pakistan bowlers forced Bangladesh to play only 23 overs due to their difficult bowling and Bangladesh could only score 114 runs.

The first match of this series was completely one-sided in favour for Bangladesh, and the second was one-sided for Pakistan. Both have big wins, which bring this series to level now. The third match is going to be interesting.

Here I want to mention one thing, Bangladeshi bowling is disciplined with they took 20 Pakistani wickets in 2 matches. Pakistan's batting performance increased, but the Bangladeshi bowlers did an impressive job. They were on a good line and length, which helped them get 10 wickets in both matches. Batting is always a problem for them, which let them down in the second match, but rain impact also works for Pakistan here in this game. Youngsters are working well for Pakistan but still need good work on technique and skills.
