***Official***Match #28- Netherlands vs Bangladesh- October 28th-Kolkata (D/N)

[Bahseph]

Looks like we could have a spicy game!

 

[Owzat]

Netherlands winning any games this tournament given the state of their top order is a miracle in itself, honestly.

in both cases a pitch helping keep the scoring within their capacity seems to have helped, whether they convert here is another matter, and the aussie disaster (90 all out) aside they have posted 223+ each time so making England look the amateurs (relatively speaking)

 

[silentstriker]

After England, Bangladesh are definitely having the most disappointing tournament.

 

[King Kane]

Shakib another captain having a shocker.

Looks like it will be up to Mahmudullah to save Bangladesh again.

 

[Owzat]

Shakib gone, game on - and five down, think deshis may struggle from here unless one or both of the Ms score biggish (50+ apiece or one a 80+)

 

[silentstriker]

And Afghanistan will kick themselves each passing day for not doing better against Bangladesh. They could have had six points and been in 5th place with a real shot.

 

[ashley bach]

This is a hell of a spell from van Meekeren.

 

[ashley bach]

Hard to see Bangladesh getting out of this hole.

 

[R!TTER]

Everyone has a plan till you get cleaned up by a Jaffa

And Afghanistan will kick themselves each passing day for not doing better against Bangladesh. They could have had six points and been in 5th place with a real shot.

they started off well, 47/1, 83/2, 112/3 (fows), lost last 8 wickets for 44 runs and that was about that, 200-250 and they might have had a chance

 

[OverratedSanity]

Hard to see Bangladesh getting out of this hole.

These two batsmen can still do this especially when there's no run rate pressure.

 

[Owzat]

all on Mahmadullah now, Das, Mushy and Shakib gone for 9 runs combined

 

[Owzat]

These two batsmen can still do this especially when there's no run rate pressure.

but there is run rate pressure, they've got to score at 5 an over having started out at 4.6 except they've got to score the runs without losing 4 wickets, all on this pitch and conditions not the ones the kiwis were batting on

 

[ashley bach]

These two batsmen can still do this especially when there's no run rate pressure.

They can for sure but there is wicket pressure, and run rate will be another headache sooner or later.

 

[King Kane]

I thought it was embarrassing for Bangladesh when they lost to England but this would be a new low for them if they lost to the Netherlands as well.

 

[Owzat]

Mahmudullah career 4 hundreds, 27 fifties
Mahedi averages 14.71 with a best of 29no
Taskin averages 7.28 but hit a 14 and 15 this World Cup, best of 21
fizzy averages 6.85 with a HS of 18no
Shoriful is oriful, 7.60 average with 16 his best, near half his innings not out so says a lot about the average

 

[Owzat]

I thought it was embarrassing for Bangladesh when they lost to England but this would be a new low for them if they lost to the Netherlands as well.

take away all their Test statuses!

 

[King Kane]

I've always rated Mahmudullah highly, I don't know why he isn't Bangladesh's captain and why he doesn't bat higher in the batting order.

 

[Himannv]

Hope the Dutch manage to get Mahmadullah here and pull off a convincing win.

 

[Spark]

So like this might well be a thrashing
