ICC WORLD CUP 2023 DISCUSSION THREAD!

[libert19]

Bangladesh sounds like already lost, they might even get all-out before 200. Pakistan will probably try to play aggresive and close the match early to get that extra NRR and keep their hopes alive for semis.

Bangladesh's team collection is currently 201 runs for nine wickets.It's really inconsistent.In this World Cup, Bangladesh is the only team that constantly presents low scoring matches to the visitors.Credit to Pakistani bowlers today especially Shahensha Afridi bowled brilliantly today.
Today Bangladesh may not be able to score too many runs, Pakistan will definitely win against Bangladesh today.

Bangladesh team was all out for 204 runs with 5 overs in hand. When Bangladesh started the game, Bangladesh team lost 2 wickets in the beginning and almost became disoriented. Then Mahmudullah Riyad and Liton Das took the lead of the team by collecting 100 runs for the Bangladesh team. Then Liton Das got out. Skipper Shakib Al Hasan batted brilliantly, if Shakib Al Hasan stayed on the field a little more, the run would have increased a lot. The target of 205 runs will not be too difficult for Pakistan and they will win this match very easily. If Bangladesh team bowls well maybe they can come close to victory. If Bangladesh win today then it will be a record for Bangladesh against Pakistan.

As expected Bangladesh batting collapsed infront of Pakistani bowling attack. I still expected them to give a respectable target of 220 runs to the Pakistani batter, unfortunately they got all out before they could have even played their full 50 overs. It would be an easy task for Pakistani batters to chase 205 runs. Unless they do something different as and lose this match. If Pakistan wins today there is still some hope for them get into the semifinals. For Bangladesh it's the end of their World Cup journey.

Pakistan's target of 205 runs. The Bangladesh team lost one wicket after another. In the beginning they lost three wickets. Then I saw a great innings in the partnership of Mahmudullah Liton Das. It did not long. Liton Das had to go back to 45 runs off Iftekhar.  Then Shakib Al Hasan paired with Mahmudullah. Shahenshah's brilliant delivery by Mahmudullah Kew had to go back to 56 runs. After that it was just a back and forth game. Bangladesh were all out in 45 overs. Bangladesh could not show any good performance in this World Cup. This run is not impossible for Pakistan.
 They will be able to pull off the win with ease.

What the heck happened to Bangladesh today? They had a poor start but the middle order was able to gain some momentum. Next a few wickets are lost and the whole batting collapses. It is evident from the way Bangladesh has been playing in the World Cup is that they forgot how a 50 overs match work. They are already pathetic with five days game and now 50 overs match.

The bowling is much worse now, Alland Donald has not been able to get their seamers to the point where they were effective. They were far much better before he came in as a bowling coach. Next time they would end up in a similar fashion like West Indies have ended.

Pakistan 124 Runs without loss. The way Pakistan are batting, there is no chance of Pakistan getting wickets today. Abdullah Shafiq (68) and Fakhar Zaman (58) are unbeaten. However, if Pakistan could bat against Afghanistan in the same way as Pakistan is batting against Bangladesh, then Afghanistan would not have been defeated.

[cryptoWODL]

Wow what a beautiful comeback Pakistan made today.Especially most of the players in the Pakistan team were not in form but suddenly they came back to full form when they played Bangladesh today.One of the reasons is that Bangladesh team is very weak and their bowling batting is very bad.This World Cup is going in the worst way in the cricket history of Bangladesh.
The way Pakistan are playing today against Bangladesh, it looks like they will win without a wicket.If Pakistan should have played such games against other teams then good things could have been expected.Many expected Pakistan to at least make it to the semi-finals, but that didn't happen.

Shakib Al Hasan said that this World Cup is not possible for Bangladesh but they will work tirelessly for the last matches and show good performance even though they played badly in the past matches. But there is no change in their performance, Bangladesh will not be able to win today's match with the target given by Bangladesh. It is very sad not only for the Bangladesh Cricket Board but for the entire Bangladesh that the Bangladesh team is losing 6 consecutive regular matches.

Abdullah Shafique got out by Mehdi Miraj after collecting 68 runs. But Pakistan has already collected 151 runs.  They need just 54 more runs and have more than 25 overs to go.  So it can be said in advance  that Pakistan will win today's match

Pakistan played very well in the first innings. Muhammad Wasim and Shaheen took three wickets. Wasim took middle-order wickets and Shaheen took openers wickets. Shadab Khan was injured in this match so we don’t see his spin but Iftikhar took the place of Shadab Khan. Fakhar Zaman played wonderfully, he hit too big six of 99 meters and that’s why he achieved the second third place in the group of biggest sixes of this World Cup.

It was the great bowling of the Pakistani team, due to which Pakistan were able to win this match.

Bangladesh already lost the match in the first innings. I can guarantee you that no Bangladeshi fans expected a win against the remaining matches. We knew Bangladesh would lose the match. This can be considered the worst World Cup in Bangladesh cricket history. What a team it is and what a team it was a year ago. Mr. Hathuru destroyed everything along with Nazmul Hasan and Sakib al Hasan. The credit goes to them. They ignored experienced campaigners and tried several newbies in some positions and came to play the world cup with these newbies. The toy tigers are back in form again. Lords association Bangladesh branch is in a hot position.

[JSRAW]

I seriously can't understand how come Bongs are banking on Tanzid Hasan, who has less than 15 average and is also inexperienced in the ODI format.

Are people sitting at the top of management that incompetent or does this guy have some sort of hidden talent or something? or maybe there is a thing between Shakib or Tamim in the play?

LOL.. He scored 51 against India (in a match where he and Litton Das put up an opening partnership of 93 runs). But apart from that, his form has been horrible so far. Litton Das on the other hand has performed somewhat consistently and seems to be their best batsman. Even today he made 45 and rescued Bangladesh from complete annihilation. BTW, you are right about the animosity between the two senior players (Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal). When Tamim was dropped from the world cup squad, Shakib claimed that it was because he refused to bat at no.3 and this triggered a war of words between the two.

Jeez this is ugly and not gonna lie funny at the same time lol.

Skipper playing dumb charades with captaincy by leaving and making rounds into PM's office, this is a somewhat forgivable thing but not thinking about the team first is an unforgivable mistake. You surely don't deserve to be in the squad if you are so self centered.

[synchronym]

Pakistan's openers played very cautiously when they came down to bat against the target of 205 runs given by Bangladesh. Bangladesh bowling line is good. But today, as if no wicket was seen against Pakistan, the Tigers made a partnership of 128 runs between Pakistan's two openers, Fakhar Zaman and Abdullah Shafiq. After Pakistan's 128 runs, Bangladesh saw the first wicket. Pakistan won by seven wickets. If we look at the previous matches of Bangladesh then we can understand that Bangladesh was a batting disaster today also because of the batting disaster Bangladesh lost today's match too. Few players of Bangladesh played well only Shakib Al Hasan Mahmudullah Riyad Liton Das these three played fairly well if everyone played a little bit better Bangladesh could have won today's match.

[Out of mind]

Congratulations Pakistan team, managed to win today's match brilliantly against Bangladesh by 7 wickets. Bangladesh today batting in the first innings did not collect good scores at all, and they batted worst and batsmen performance was very disappointing. However, Pakistan's bowling line-up was good today to bowl out Bangladesh for 204 before 50 overs. Due to this bad performance of Bangladesh, the batsmen of Pakistan team took advantage of that opportunity in today's match and won the match by 7 wickets after playing 32.3 overs. Fakhar Zaman made a great score for the Pakistan team today he batted brilliantly aiming for a century, but unfortunately he failed to complete the century and remained unbeaten on 81 runs. Abdullah Shafique also batted brilliantly for these two batsmen today Pakistan team won easily against Bangladesh without any trouble.

Bro you have said the truth. Actually, no Bangladeshi fan expected Bangladesh to win in today's match, and I am one of them. If Mr. Hathuru is continuously as the head coach of Bangladesh, I think Bangladesh will not have to play the World Cup in the upcoming ICC World Cup. Where the best-selected players have to be brought into the team for the World Cup, and there we have seeing that Mr. Hathuru doing his experiment with new inexperienced players in World Cup matches. And as a result we can see matches like this, where Bangladesh is continuously losing one match after another without putting up any fight.
Moreover, there is no unity in the team. Where a player should analyze his opponent team and the players to find their weaknesses, there they are doing conflict with each others. Earlier I thought Bangladesh's batting line-up was destroyed, now I see not only the batting line-up but also the bowling line-up is on the verge of destruction. Anyway good luck to Pakistan as they win this match they are able to take position above Afghanistan again in the points table. Pakistan's bowlers and batting both performed well and they won this match very easily.

I don't know when Bangladesh will be able to overcome such a weakness in the top order. The top order performed very poorly today as in the previous matches. I can't remember when I saw a better performance than Shanto, Tamim and Hriday in the Bangladesh squad. I don't know why Bangladesh management has given place to these three batsmen in the squad. Consistently they are performing badly, still they are getting a place in the squad. They are not doing well on an important platform like the World Cup. Bangladesh could have easily set a target of 280 today if the top order batsmen had performed a bit better. And given a target like 280, the match would have been competitive. We have seen a completely one-sided match.

By winning today's match, Pakistan team has already rise up above from 5 teams. Congratulations to them. Although before the end of Bangladesh's innings, everyone knew that the Bangladesh team would not be able to win the match, finally it happened. Even after falling 3 wickets of Bangladesh the team was playing very well but suddenly the rhythm fell. Mahmudullah and Shakib formed a good partnership but since that stopped the Bangladesh team could not progress further. Bangladesh team managed to give a target of 204 only. Against a team like Pakistan, this score was naturally a foreboding for the Bangladesh team. In the end Pakistan team got a big win by 7 wickets. Pakistan batted well except for Babar Azam in this match.

India faced Bangladesh-Pakistan in the 31st match of the World Cup at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.The Bangladeshi openers had the worst performance in the World Cup. Shakib Bahini could not show a good performance from the beginning. The failure of the openers increases the pressure on the middle order. Bangladesh's batting line is so bad it has been proved. Bangladesh lost one wicket after another for 204 runs in 45 overs. If Bangladesh did well in the batting line, they could have won the match. Pakistan today showed great performance in batting and bowling. Pakistan won by seven wickets in 32 overs.

Right, Bangladesh team performance in 31st match was really poor. We know that this team Bangladesh already dropped out from this tournament and they just played these matches for formalities if they won these matches just their rank move up but they were not qualified in semi final match of this tournament. BTW, I really appreciated they performance of Pakistan team in today match. First in batting side, Shaheen and Wasim each batsman took down three wickets of Bangladesh team. In batting side, F.zaman performance was brilliant, he scored 81 runs in 79 balls and hitted three 4s and seven 6s in 31 match. Congratulations Pakistan for winning this match.

What were you expecting from Bangladesh after their 5 defeats from last 6 games against Pakistan they have still done good as they were able to reach at the score of 204 because today I was not expecting anything good from them specially while they are having internal issues and worst defeat against the Netherlands.

Currently Asian teams are on worst run specially Bangladesh and Pakistan but here Pakistan still is much better than Bangladesh, so they have done usual job and have won in this match which was expected.

While Courtney Walsh was coach Bangladesh bowlers were doing good job, but change of coach is surely having not good impact, and now they are going down badly batting is also having problems which needs to be had few changes at the top hopefully now after world cup they will do changes and have improved performance as well.
