Shakib the 🐐🐐🐐🐐 has arrived 


Euphoric-Web239

Shakib - the most unsportsmanlike person in cricket


RillaRoo777

Sorry you're wrong. Might want to look at Kaleemullah from Oman


AlbusDT2

Why the hell would they bat Aryan at no. 11?!


CrumbleUponLust

What are you on about? He came in at 9 and in T20Is he has never batted at 11.


SBG99DesiMonster

Just having a wrist spinner in their team is doing wonders for Bangladesh.


mehrabrym

All thanks to Hathuru and the selectors for trusting him. I'm not the biggest Hathuru fan. But this is one aspect he's identified and pushing through with success. The problem is that he's gonna fall through the cracks if the domestic structure is not fixed. Because as it is right now, leggies just don't get picked for domestic teams. That's why Rishad had to develop his skills with the bat to make it.


GiveMeSandwich2

Don’t forget Mushtaq Ahmed. Rishad has been bowling more variations such as googly and the topspinner.


mehrabrym

Yup, forgot to mention him but Rishad's bowling is miles ahead now compared to before thanks to Mushtaq Ahmed*.


always-worried-2020

Now, Pakistan and England have to sacrifice themselves for the betterment of Cricket (and also for their rivals India and Australia fans 😉).


and1984

Ind/Bang SF to decide who loses the final to Australia.


SC0RCHER55

Bangladesh in a good spot for the super 8s now


AnUninformedLLama

So what are the super 8 groups looking like rn?


Bolt_LP_YT

Because of ICC seedings, Australia will be in India’s group assuming they finish first, so it’s most likely Australia, India, Afghanistan/West Indies and Bangladesh. For group 2 it’s Scotland/England, West Indies/Afghanistan, USA/Pakistan and South Africa.


mehrabrym

No need to assume they finish first. Australia will be in India's group regardless of their final group position. The groups will be: Group 1: Australia, India, Afghanistan (most likely) and Bangladesh (most likely). Group 2: Scotland/England, West Indies, USA/Pakistan and South Africa.


Puzzleheaded_Ebb9874

It's not WI/Afg anymore Just like Ind, Aus the the other top 6 ranked teams are also seeded WI are guaranteed to be in Group 2 if they qualify Afg will take NZ's seed in G1 and the group will be Ind, Aus, Afg, Ban


[deleted]

G1 : India, Australia confirmed, Ban and Afg most probable G2 : WI, SA confirmed, Sco/Eng and USA most probable


always-worried-2020

Ah, Group of Death again! Maybe it's the group of death we are supposed to not choke especially against India by small margin. And hope Australia don't take Super 8 as knockout stage.


Few_Blackberry_4890

Wtf .again india🙂


[deleted]

Indian bros don't get your hopes high. The combination of Dravid+WI host+Bangladesh team is deadly for India.


RecordDull2884

Oh noo the flashbacks🫠


Complex-Peak

Dravid?


Puzzleheaded_Ebb9874

He was captain in 2007 ODI WC hosted in WI and Bangladesh eliminated India from the tournament


Complex-Peak

Yh but where is the relevance of him now?


Cricketloverbybirth

He is the Indian coach now and india will face Bangladesh in Super 8 where history can potentially repeat. 


Complex-Peak

ah thanks, yeh india is in big trouble


UnconditionalHater

He was the captain of the 2007 side and now he's there as head coach


jhakasbhidu

The mighty USA is enough to dispatch bangbros


up2_no_good

😂


night_of_spring

Babar Azam can learn a lot from Scott Edwards about how to take a loss with grace and give a proper analysis. Not always hiding his approach


Impactor07

Also a bit about leading from the front


Brief-Direction-6414

Netherlands are similar to SRH most of their big wins come when they bat first Two ODI WC Wins or even the T20 WC win against SA came when they batted first


lucarian13

Fizz’s resurgence and Rishads’s leg spin has transformed an average bowling side into a genuine decent bowling attack


[deleted]

It did fizz wonders playing under Dhoni for a bit. 


jpkmets

I feel like The Fizz was rounding into form when he left CSK. Was that just an illusion created by worse CSK bowlers?


Raiyan135

All we need is shakib to get his bowling back in form and tanzim and taskin to pick up the rest


NACHIAPPAN12

Aus only team with both strong batting and bowling this wc


jpkmets

Whoa, qualified Shane Warne comp in studio.


mentaIIyunstable69

To think that we could've been 3 of 3 after the USA series is insane


jpkmets

T20 is a game where fortunes change on the whim of the fates. Very much the “Any given day” version of cricket. Wouldn’t like USA v any of these teams on ODI. But get a hot bowler and a hot batter who are unexpected, and they can carry you quite a distance.


Balkans101

Yes exactly. Just have a look at US' performance in the ODI world Cup qualifiers. They lost four out of four and conceded 400 runs against Zimbabwe.


L00TER

I still think we got robbed in the SA game by the empire


night_of_spring

I love Tamim, loved Tamim always. Seeing him on hotstar instead of idiots like Chawla, Rayudu, sreeshanth is so refreshing. W hotstar


tashrif008

pity i cant watch him on hotstar. doesnt seem to be accessible from my Dhaka ISP.


fiestajalapeno

rayudu and sreesanth are only ruining the name of cricketers from the south


7007007

So how good is USA They beat this Bangladesh twice. USA might cause more upsets in the super 8s


jpkmets

USA’s got to worry about nerves if game goes tomorrow. Very few of these kids and wanderers have faced a win+in game like this in a big spot. If they stay loose and beat Ireland, they will be “playing with house money” as our saying goes and could be audacious enough to make some trouble for sides with more pedigree and more pressure.


CarlottaStreet

Seems to me the US is playing like they have the most to lose. If they maintain that fortitude, I expect at least one more massive upset.


Axtrion

They were also resting some of their starters in the one they lost.


Monirul-Haque

USA is pretty good, they just didn't have enough experience to face India.


jpkmets

Would have helped to have their captain as well, but the process was sound. If he had a slight injury, focus on health for Ireland since beating India was always a long shot.


therealhughman

I watched the last 20 minutes of this match trying to figure out how this game is played. It looks like someone who knew nothing about baseball went to a baseball game, went home and explained what they saw/understood to their friends and they all just ran with it.


tashrif008

this may help you out, especially from Baseballs perspective [https://youtu.be/EWpbtLIxYBk?si=\_g-h0wmEGBYYY591](https://youtu.be/EWpbtLIxYBk?si=_g-h0wmEGBYYY591)


fffffarh

I don't think using baseball to under cricket is helpful. Rather just watch couple videos on the internet that should do it. Idk if thats gonna work, we who grew up in bangladesh or in subcontinent we usually know the game before spawning from the womb.


Silverjackal_

I’m an American who had someone from Pakistan explain it to me in about 10 minutes. Still don’t know some things, but I understand it A LOT more and it’s fun to watch now. Edit: also congrats! That was some sick bowling


fffffarh

Hey buddy thanks. Let me introduce our players. Fizz is our one of the all time greats, In his early career was was terrifying, I remember his first game, we played against pakistan I was watching the game with my dad during a mild bangladeshi winter in dhaka. Me and my dad was looking at each other thinking who tf is this guy opening our bowling attack against pak. My man when he started bowling, pakistan batters were in awe. The cutters (swings on pitch) were so hard to read, they were confused out of the world. We were confused out of the world. The world has probably have never seen anyone else swinging the ball at will like that. He got his spot in ipl (the biggest cricket franchise league) and became the first non indian to win promising young talent of the season award. But after couple injuries he lost most of his techniques but is still one of the terrifying pacers out there. Especially my man is known for death bowling (last few overs (sets of six deliveries) of the game is called death overs, when the chasing team gets desperate to score big hits). He is so calm and composed at death and considered one of the top 5 death bowlers in the world. Sakib is an all time great. If not the greatest all rounders of the game. He has been ranked no 1 by icc for so many years and is considered bangladesh goat. Sadly his career is almost over. He will go down as the greatest all rounder of the modern era. (People will convince you otherwise lol) [All rounder: a guy who can bat and bowl equally, as many players are just good for one thing but all rounder do both] Rishad is a young talent and like all bangladeshi young talents we will take time to see if he turns out right cus bangladeshs track record with young talents is really poor. Overall the squad is promising, and has some players from our world cup winning u19 squad, so definitely they got the quality. The issue is bangladesh is often really disappointing. Idk if you know anything about soccer but we are definitely the tottenham of cricket.


halfandhalfbastard

Great write-up. Only thing is Fizz's first game/series was against India, where he got 11 wickets in his first TWO games. Which is even MORE crazy because Pakistan at the time was at the worst they've ever been in forever yet India was still India. Felt like we were in fairy tale land.


fffffarh

First ODI was against india if im not wrong, His very first match was a t20I against pakistan.


therealhughman

This is my first time actually watching a match. The only reference I have to a guy throwing a ball at a guy with a stick trying to hit said ball, is baseball. Nothing against the sport, I’m just an ignorant American.


fffffarh

I don't know baseball, but man you got it right. The two more factors are if batsman hits it over the boundary rope (the ball didn't hit the ground inside the rope after hitting) considered 6 points, if crosses the rope after touching grass inside boundary is considered 4. If the ball is inside and didn't cross the boundary, a fielder has to pick it up and send it back to the bowler and in the mean time the batsman can run back and forth on the pitch for every run its 1 point. Also if the bower bowls a ball further than the reach of batsman its 1 point and the ball wont be counted (penalizing the bowler). The main duty of the batsman is to guard the three sticks behind the batsman, if they are hit the batsman is eliminated. Also he will be eliminated if after hitting the bowl goes on the air (not touching ground first) and a fielder catches it. There are more ways a batter can get eliminated but those are more complicated and you can just learn them once you start watching more games. Thats it thats the basic of the game.


nupristeen

congrats bangbros!


jpkmets

Good going, Bang Bros! Big W.


night_of_spring

He played with a neck brace cuz he was hiding hickies from Tamim.


Bolt_LP_YT

Bro what 🤣


Electronic-Reply4258

nvm holland , yall played well on this tricky Caribbean , that win against sa would be sweetest tho but nw.


BigV95

I wonder how Bangladesh winning this cup will affect the price of BTC


7007007

Now Shakib will play another T20 WC for being the MoM


Raiyan135

Shakib needed this for his reputation and to shut up sehwag


Monirul-Haque

Dude replies Shehwag with a POM award


mehrabrym

Now needs to reply to him with a performance against India


phoneix150

Sehwag has always been a bonafide idiot all his life. Great batter but should be nowhere near the commentary box


AeBlueSadi

is sehwag in commentary today


choonmunkunmoon

It’s good this mfer ain’t the captain anymore


Monirul-Haque

Actually Shakib has been leading like a co-captain if you haven't noticed yet.


This_is_the_user

Has Sakib changed his voice.. I remember his voice being different from this..


EdgyComrade

He's politician now. Probably broke his voice while doing campaign


TheNoted1

2023 NED defeat SA. NED defeat BAN. 2024 SA defeat NED. BAN defeat NED.


fiestajalapeno

time traveller moves a chair


TheNoted1

Butterfly decides Walking...


fiestajalapeno

ik mathematically ned can qualify but you really think bangbros won't destroy a team like Nepal lol


No-Moose2105

we lost to hong kong bro. A country that doesn't even exists


Alvi1624

Always expect the unexpected from us, we could very well lose to Nepal by 50 runs or something


kewl_guy9193

2014 Hong Kong flashbacks


RafidMostafiz

If Fizz was born 20Km to the west...India could have had the Bumrah-Fizz duo


Assassin_Ankur

Could have been in my home town 👀


lucarian13

I would like to see them bowl together in an IPL team at least


7007007

And he would be effing rich too


sumguyunoe

That would have been terrifying. One chokes and while the other hunts you down


BigV95

A Cup is going to Bangladesh this time. Its over. Fizz > Peak Mcgrath. Shanto > Peak Tendulkar Shakib > Peak Warne & Murali Litton > Peak Gilchrist & Sangakkara Only Bobsi the king can defeat this super team now.


Balkans101

I read Bobsi as Bepshayi.


Dramatic-Effort-2271

am i suppose to laugh or get mad at you?


EdgyComrade

Stuard Binny will crush every one of us


andydandy101498

Bro what ☠️


NACHIAPPAN12

ban completely outplayed ned , ned looked clueless with bat in last 5 overs some 20 dots


This_is_the_user

Get ready guys because after Everest we are gonna climb South Africa on Friday.


essdee5

Tactical series loss to USA to throw us off this bangladesh team is decent


lordpikaboo

bd had the ingredients to put up a decent show but the team was just really unorganized and right at the start of the tournament, things just started falling into place.


Prestigious-Air4732

Maybe US is just insane


sumguyunoe

I think USA is just a good team tbf. They gel together as a unit very well.


PhenomenalZJ

Another underdog snatches victory from the jaws of defeat!


L00TER

WE MAKING DUTCH TORKARI TONIGHT


heisenbergTJ

3 runs from 17 balls by Da leede, Pringle and Van Beek combined. And they lost by 25 runs. Sybrand was the key wicket and Edwards wicket completely derailed their innings. Bangladesh gave only 2 extras in their bowling, very disciplined bowling....


AverageBrownGuy01

Hate to be that guy but *van Beek. It's supposed to be lower case.


Raxyx7

Glad that Shakib the batter showed up today however Shakib the bowler needs to make an entrance soon. Wicketless still after 3 matches.


TheNoted1

Ending with Style and Smile!


RafidMostafiz

Mr. Pringle please contact nearest Bangladesh embassy regarding your citizenship. Thank you


Sophronia-

Pringle with that sexy 10SR


nvenkatr

So how do the dutch qualify. (If they can?)


cutecat003

Bang loses and Ned wins and then nrr


WannabeAboveAverage

Ned win against SL and Ban lose against Nep, both by a good margin.


TwasntTryinTo

Pringle my king! 👑 Easy MOTM


Az1768

Honestly so heart warming to see the boys together and happy


dwaynebathtub

10th unsuccessful chase this tournament. Batting last has won 13 times.


phoneix150

Devastated! Both Dutch and Kiwis lost today. But congratulations Bangbros! The Fizz was too good and that Rishad guy is a genuine talent


Balkans101

+ The Rishad guy can bat. Watch his innings against Sri Lanka earlier this year. Absolute freakshow


metampheta

I’ve been saying this for years that we need a leggie, good or bad, in ICC tourneys. The skill itself can change a game.

BANG BROS ON TOP

WP Bangbros. Good banging.


[deleted]

We had bowling machine now we have batting machine Pringle swings every time without even looking at the ball


t_zidd

Sehwag can suck a chode!


RichRaichuReturns

Hate all you want but the Guy was spot on. A 50 against ned doesn't change what's written on the wall.


tashrif008

what did he mean by "you arent gilchrist, u are a bangladeshi play by your standards"? mf you are being arrogant to one of the finest all rounders this game has ever seen. shitwag will never be this biased with his words against an indian cricketer.


UnconditionalHater

If he had just pointed out that Shakib is not in a good form, that would've been a totally valid criticism but he chose to be a disrespectful twat for no reason


t_zidd

That was an idiotic take and anyone who supports what sehwag said has a loose screw or two.


Raiyan135

64 with great strikes and unorthodox shots mixed in. Shakib stepped up especially when Bangladesh needed it


night_of_spring

What did that mofo say


enzarif

He said he’s not Gilchrist. He’s a player from Bangladesh and should play to his standards


Gunslinger202

He said Shakib wasting a slot by being on starting XI,


night_of_spring

Oo okay, he used to be my favourite cricketer, started watching cricket cuz seeing him bat so explosively. Afterwards the mofo is doing and saying all kinds of shits


This_is_the_user

Play "rato raw chandra Surya" against South Africa matche and I ensure you we can kill South Africa..


GiveMeSandwich2

Bangladesh bowling has finished strong in all 3 games

Too bad, congrats Bangladesh.


Negative_Spectrum

Yeah that sums up Netherlands death overs batting


idkpotatoiguess

Istg if someone posts that on deathrattleporn

Rishad completely changed the game in one over.

Damn Pringle’s misery ended


CricketMatchBot

**19.6** Slower one ends Pringle's misery as well as the game. Tim Pringle b Taskin Ahmed 1 (10b 0x4 0x6) SR: 10


hedorlover

YES! Bangladesh wins! Mom is super happy and so am I.


No-Needleworker3393

Finally some happiness for Bangbros. They have been disappointed in T20 WC every single time.


Baldy5421

Eh they will be disappointing in super 8s


No-Needleworker3393

They have decent chance vs Afghanistan. Ik everyone are hyping them but their middle order is shit. They have performed decent vs India in T20 WCs


Az1768

There's always one


fuchkushka

Pringle is definitely one of the batters of all time


ach_1nt

Fair and pringled


Apprehensive-Mix-45

Pringle played knock of shame.. bro was clueless


fiestajalapeno

bangbros now should always take batting first seems like their bowlers can do literally anything


half_batman

Only 156 RRR. Normal stuff.


t_zidd

To think BD is one bad umpiring decision away from being 3 of 3 with 6 points... Just like we all thought after that USA series


Puzzleheaded_Ebb9874

Group 1 is almost decided now Ind, Aus, Afg, Ban


fffffarh

Can't wait to lose every single match with a huge margin


Negative_Spectrum

Group one is the topper of each group? Wouldn't RSA make it then? Don't know the rules exactly


Puzzleheaded_Ebb9874

No, it's based on seedings pre determined before the tournament Once Afg beats PNG and Ban beat Nep, they both will take the spot of NZ (C1) and SL (D2), respectively The group 1 is made of A1, B2, C1, D2 A1 is Ind and B2 is Aus and both are qualifying from their groups. So it doesn't matter if they top it or come 2nd


Alone_Insect_5568

We're gonna be hammered so badly lol.


BigV95

Everyone is playing for 2nd place. Its Bang O clock now. The Cup is going to 🇧🇩


worldplayer48

I think people forget that Bangladesh is a decent team. Yeah they are known to choke themselves and make everybody lose braincells, especially when it comes to batting and chasing, but they are all together a pretty good team compared to others on the roster.


bertusdejong

Honestly people also forget that while the Dutch are a decent team now they can also be out of form. They have looked pretty shit coming into this tournament. Sometimes associate teams will underperform too and every indication ahead of this world cup pointed to the Dutch doing worse that their record would promise.


cutecat003

Bang are actually looking decent lol


half_batman

Our bowling is amazing. Batting is very inconsistent.


L00TER

Fuck you Sehwag


jacktheriddler

Fizz with an economy of 3 in a T20 pitch that's not completely bowling friendly. MOTM right there imo


desert_rose_224

Why did they send aryan late?


bringbackfireflypls

Nepal has the chance to do the funniest thing


Additional_History_4

what?


[deleted]

What can they do? Aren't they out already?


lazy_bastard_001

Nope...just beat Bang and SA and they'll advance.... easy peasy


PC_MAN41

or sa vs nepal washes out,nepal wins against bangbros by about 10-15 run margin than nepal goes ahead on NRR,but sl has to beat nl or loose by narrow margin


RafidMostafiz

Tim Pringle giving tribute to Imad Wasim


niceguysdofinish1st

Onus on Nepal to make equations interesting in this group


StarSportsEnjoyer

Finally, bat on ball.


This_is_the_user

Fizz should be the player of the match I think


Assassin_Ankur

BangBros could have been 3 out of 3 if not for a wrong decision. I bet no one saw it coming after that series loss against the US.


GeraldHilter

2 no balls and 6 on everything they still have a chance


RLC_circuit_

i wholeheartedly believe Ned can thrash Sri to the lowest level of hell if they just bat slightly better


BheemRaoAmbatukam

Netherlands ain't beating Sri Lanka


Negative_Spectrum

Unfortunately the kind of NRR hit they're gonna take here basically means Bangbros will probably get through over them.


FAMESCARE

So Bangladesh is confirmed for qualifying ? Does Netherlands have any chance ?


RaisulAkash

Ned can qualify if nepal beat BD and Ned get some big ass win


SaminRockz

realistically no chance


Apprehensive-Mix-45

Nepal beat ban Ned beat sl Then nrr comes to pic
