ICC WORLD CUP 2023 DISCUSSION THREAD!

[Fuso.hp]

Bangladesh started the Super Four with a loss against Pakistan. Shakib's team has no choice but to win the last two matches to maintain their existence in the final. And in that mission, Team Tigers will fight against Sri Lanka and India. Both matches will be played in Sri Lanka. Hathuru disciples' mission to survive in the final race will begin today at 3:30 pm. Today's match is very important for Bangladesh. If they win this match, the possibility of playing in the final of the Asia Cup will remain for Bangladesh. And if they lose, the dream of playing in the final will end for the Tigers. Ahead of the do-or-die match, Bangladesh are haunted by the memory of the ill-fated loss against the Lankans in the group stage. Team Tigers are determined to start afresh at a new venue to avenge that loss and return to winning ways.

Bangladesh won the toss in another Asia Cup match and Bangladesh won the toss and decided to field first in this match. Today's match is very important for Bangladesh because Bangladesh have already played one match in Superfour of Asia Cup where they lost one match so if they lose today for any reason then even if they win the third match their chances of going to next round will be very low. Bangladesh lined up the XI today with one change, one less batsman and one more bowler against Sri Lanka. If they can keep Sri Lanka between 250 and 270 then Bangladesh will have a chance to win if the batsmen bat responsibly.

Bangladesh won the toss and opted to bowl first against Sri Lanka in the second Super Four game of Asia Cup 2023. Bangladesh played 4 matches and 4 toss wins I think it is a good decision to bowl first in Colombo Sirlinka The pitch is dry, and the Bangladeshi spinners will look to exploit the daytime conditions. Bangladesh never won a single match at Colombo Hopefully today break the record. Sirlinka is a strong team with his batting depth and bowling line. Sri Lanka has a dominant record against Bangladesh in ODIs so far in Asia Cup history. Sirlinka played 14 matches against Bangladesh and won 12 matches Bangladesh only won 2 matches.

Sirlanka Vs Bangladesh

The 8th Match of the Asia Cup and Super Four 2nd match between Bangladesh and Sirlanka was played today at R. Premadasa Stadium Sirlanka. In the first match of the super four Pakistan won by 7 wickets against Bangladesh a huge victory. Now This is an important match for Bangladesh to win this match and stay alive in Suoer four of the Asia Cup. In the previous group stage match of the Asia Cup Sirlanka won by 5 wickets left and 11 overs to spare It's a great win for Sirlinka.

Sirlinka bowling performance was very well in the previous match they all out the Bangladesh team in just 164 runs. This match hero Matheesha Pathirana picked up 4 Crucial wickets and restricted Bangladesh under 200. If this type of performance Sirlinka bowler doing then Bangladesh will lose this match again. I hope Bangladesh will learn from his mistakes and surely he is going to win this match.

If Bangladesh team wants to survive then they must perform well today. Because Bangladesh lost to Sri Lanka in the second match of the Asia Cup. But the Bangladesh team must perform well in the Super Four match today. The Sri Lankan team is not that strong but if the Bangladesh team can stay on the field till the end by protecting the wickets then there is definitely a chance to win. But the Bangladesh team will have to keep the Sri Lankan team under pressure with their bowling performance as they will have to prevent the Sri Lankan team from scoring more runs. Taskin Ahmed and Shariful Islam must put up a good bowling performance as Sri Lanka's runs will depend on them.

Sri Lanka is batting in the first innings in the Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka match, Sri Lanka's batting performance must be better today.  Sri Lankan batsmen are in great form in this Asia Cup so Sri Lanka is performing well against Bangladesh at the moment. In today's match, Sri Lanka's chances of victory are high, so if Sri Lanka can score 300 runs against Bangladesh, then it is definitely possible to win the match. At the moment, Sri Lankan batsmen are batting well, Bangladesh bowling has not been able to collect any wickets, so Sri Lanka is not under any pressure. Dimuth Karunaratne and Pathum Nissanka are batting brilliantly in today's match and if they can stay at the crease they will surely score good runs. At the moment, Sri Lanka batted against Bangladesh and collected 26 runs after playing 5 overs, yet Bangladesh bowlers could not take any wicket.

[elevates]

Not a good start for Srilanka, already lost 1 wicket and the current RR is below 5. The main concer for Srilanka would be get this partnership going. Any more wickets and their RR might fall more. Bangladesh bowling is looking good for now as they are able to contain the Srilankan batters. The more they restrict them from scoring run, they would start getting frustrated. Eventually they would try to let themselves go after the bowlers. That will cause them to lose wickets. As of now the match is looking intresting, hopefully it doesn't get interrupted due to the rain. The weather prediction in Colombo does says rain for today.

[RewFrew]

Today's Match is very important for Bangladesh. Because first match of Super 4 Bangladesh team lost with Pakistan. So today Bangladesh cricket team need to win to survive this tournament. But Sri Lanka team is stronger then Bangladesh team and also today's match is being played in the field of Sri Lanka. So it will be very helpful for Srilanka.

Last match against Bangladesh Sri Lankan were win. So they are very confident today. Sri Lankan Batting First and now score is 90/1 from 20 overs. They are playing well. So i think today Sri lankan team will win.

Bangladesh has lost 2 of there 3 games in current Asia Cup and they failed to find rhythm needed to win the games. If SL can give a target of over 275 runs then it won't be easy for Bangladesh to chase that target under lights. Given the NRR Bangladesh have even if they win today's game I don't think they have much chances to make it to next round.

The victory in this second match of Super Four is very important for Bangladesh team. The Bangladesh team lost to Pakistan in the first match of the Super Four and fell into a difficult equation. If the Bangladesh team loses today's match against Sri Lanka, the dream of survival in the next round will end for the Bangladesh team. Sri Lanka are currently 140 for 3 in 31 overs. Sri Lanka could not score many runs in today's match. If Bangladesh can stop Sri Lanka within 250 runs then surely Bangladesh team can be expected to win. Bangladesh team needs to bowl better and take more wickets right now. I am a citizen of Bangladesh and always hope victory of Bangladesh.

Looking at Sri Lanka's performance, I predicted that they would target 250+ runs. Sri Lanka set a target of 257 runs.  Bangladesh is playing well so far. They scored 40 runs in 8 overs for 0 wickets. Mohammad Sheikh and Mehidy Hasan came out to bat first for Bangladesh. and next to them are great cricket players Shakib Al Hasan and Liton Das. Bangladesh has good players in the team so Bangladesh seems to have some potential to win the match. Now Bangladesh's main focus should be to save wickets. Their main target should be to save wickets without getting excited in the first 30 overs. All the supporters of Bangladesh are sitting hoping that Mehdi Miraz, Shakib Al Hasan, Liton Das will play well and win the match.

Sri Lanka has a dominant record against Bangladesh in ODIs so far in Asia Cup history. Sirlinka played 14 matches against Bangladesh and won 12 matches Bangladesh only won 2 matches.

I think this is not good decision for Bangladesh team to chose bowling first. Sri Lanka Gave a good target 257 runs in 50 overs and by losing 9 wickets. The performance of Sri Lanka batting not too much good but if we see Bangladesh batting then I think there is high chance for Sri Lanka team to win this match. Bangladesh batting was lived and they scored 73 runs in 16.2 overs and by losing 3 wickets which not to good for them. Bangladesh team needs to improve their batting performance and also save wickets if they want to win this match.

[JSRAW]

Kinda surprised to see Litton Das batting tonight as he was missing from the squad, maybe injured? IDK. More surprising he was batting at the middle order.

Anyway, Bongs seems to lose the plot tonight and if i dare to say potentially a direct flight to Dhaka. Guess, a fair amount of fans were expecting the same.

Bowling first was not a bad decision for Bangladesh. But it was a bad decision for Bangladesh to field Shakib Al Hasan and Liton Das quickly. they were very excited and worried which led to a quick out. they should have been fielded later. Bangladesh still need 126 runs in 18 overs to win the match which is still very difficult for them to fulfill. they scored 132 runs in 32 overs, how will they collect 126 runs in 18 overs.  Although it is possible to do it, it is still doubtful whether it will be possible for Bangladesh.

Although it is possible to do it, it is still doubtful whether it will be possible for Bangladesh.

Bangladesh lost their third wicket of Shakib Al Hasan when the scoreboard was just 70 runs and now Mushfiqur Rahim and Towhid Hridoy is building a partnership and they already scored 54 runs and they still need 120 runs to win from 16 overs. Since the target is not that high and if they can rotate the strike and not loose wickets at this time, then they can challenge Sri Lanka and i wont be surprised if they go on and win the match.

I think the Bangladesh team did a good job of fielding against Sri Lanka. Because Sri Lanka couldn't score too many runs against Bangladesh today, scoring 257 runs with the loss of 9 wickets. Now Bangladesh batsmen come down to bat and lost 4 wickets, if Bangladesh batsmen try to win today's match then definitely possible. But the batsmen of Bangladesh need to improve their batting performance at the moment, otherwise they will never succeed. Accordingly, in order to win today's match, the players of the Bangladesh team must have a good batting performance to increase the runs. Although Bangladesh still needs 109 runs from 90 balls to win it is not much, if Bangladesh batsmen try very well then it will definitely be possible to win the match against Sri Lanka.

[romero121]

After hard fight Sri Lanka have won the match by 21 runs. Bangladesh started well, and all of the sudden lost four consecutive wickets. This built pressure upon Bangladesh team. Mushfiqur Rahim along with Towhid Hridoy built partnership and withstood wickets. Once Mushfiqur Rahim lost his wicket, consecutively wickets started to fall at regular intervals. On the other side Towhid Hridoy stood strong and tried his best to win the match for Bangladesh. Finally Bangladesh had 11 balls remaining and 22 runs required, but no wickets left. For Sri Lanka it was Theekshana, Shanaka, Pathirana took 3 wickets each.

Anyway, Bongs seems to lose the plot tonight and if i dare to say potentially a direct flight to Dhaka. Guess, a fair amount of fans were expecting the same.

Before the start of this match I was also expecting and same happen but still their bowling were much better than last matches, and they have achieved their target in bowling but sadly their batting is still not able to achieve things which are into their reach which is surely poor performance from their few veteran players because they need to lead from front in these situations.

Now situation is very interesting because Sri Lankan win bring them to second spot and tomorrow match is important who is going to be into final with rain still having impact on next matches which can make things more interesting because right now any prediction is not possible.

Now Sri Lanka having streak of 13 matches win which is second best behind Australia it's really impressive congrats to them and their fans as well.

Sirlanka Vs Bangladesh

The 8th Match of the Asia Cup and Super Four 2nd match between Bangladesh and Sirlanka was played today at R. Premadasa Stadium Sirlanka. In the first match of the super four Pakistan won by 7 wickets against Bangladesh a huge victory. Now This is an important match for Bangladesh to win this match and stay alive in Suoer four of the Asia Cup. In the previous group stage match of the Asia Cup Sirlanka won by 5 wickets left and 11 overs to spare It's a great win for Sirlinka.

Sirlinka bowling performance was very well in the previous match they all out the Bangladesh team in just 164 runs. This match hero Matheesha Pathirana picked up 4 Crucial wickets and restricted Bangladesh under 200. If this type of performance Sirlinka bowler doing then Bangladesh will lose this match again. I hope Bangladesh will learn from his mistakes and surely he is going to win this match.

If Bangladesh team wants to survive then they must perform well today. Because Bangladesh lost to Sri Lanka in the second match of the Asia Cup. But the Bangladesh team must perform well in the Super Four match today. The Sri Lankan team is not that strong but if the Bangladesh team can stay on the field till the end by protecting the wickets then there is definitely a chance to win. But the Bangladesh team will have to keep the Sri Lankan team under pressure with their bowling performance as they will have to prevent the Sri Lankan team from scoring more runs.

Sri Lanka held their nerves to seal a win against Bangladesh by 21 runs and knockout Bangladesh from the Asia Cup 2023 final. Sadeera Samarawickrama earned the Player of the Match award for his well deserving innings of 93 runs in just 72 balls their impressive innings helped Sirlanka to post a competitive total of 257 runs and win by 21 runs. While chasing down the target of 258 runs Bangladesh team is only managed to score 236 runs in 48.1 overs Towhid Hridoy played a good inning for Bangladesh they scored 82 runs in 97 balls. Sirlinka Capitan Dasun Shanaka picked up 3 Crucial wickets by just giving 28 runs in a 9 overs impressive bowling performance by Sirlanka.

The way Bangladesh held the Lankans in the match of Bachamara in the fight to reach the final of the Asia Cup. It seemed that Bangladesh's dream of fighting for the superiority of Asia would live on in this journey. But in the end it didn't happen anymore. The Asian World Cup mission of the red-green representatives has been destroyed by losing by 21 runs with the host Sri Lanka. Saturday (September 9) R. of Colombo. After losing the toss and batting first at the Premadasa Stadium, Sri Lanka scored 257 runs losing 9 wickets in the scheduled 50 overs. In response, the Tigers were bundled out for 236 runs in 48.1 overs chasing the target.  As a result, Shakib Bhani's dream of winning the Asia Cup ended in a 21-run defeat.

Sri Lanka has never been an easy opponent for Bangladesh in this Asia Cup. The two matches that Bangladesh have played against Sri Lanka have been on Sri Lanka soil and Sri Lanka are very strong at their home ground and they have good understanding of the wicket so it is natural that Sri Lanka will be ahead against Bangladesh considering the overall aspect but the target was not high for Bangladesh in the second match if Bangladesh. Bangladesh could have won this match if they could have batted responsibly.  Bangladesh's Asia Cup mission ends here.
There is only one match left against India and if Bangladesh wins that match against India then Bangladesh has no chance of going to the next round.

Now it's never been easy for the Bangladesh tigers to have good results in this Asia Cup and World Cup because they are facing problems in batting which is important to settle, but it's not a short way it's need good and long term strategy which help them for increasing quality and performance as well.

We have three former world champions here in this event, so things are never been easy to face them Afghanistan is also improving, but they also need to work on few things but Bangladesh which is now having good experience are still down and out which is the biggest concern for them and their management as well.

In last game, against Sri Lanka their bowlers done good job but sadly batting lineup completely fail to give his best and at the end they lost this match by 21 runs and now almost out of this event with short time for preparing for the World cup which is also going to start after 25 days.
