2023 Cricket World Cup

Brilliant Yorker that.

Decent score by Bangladesh. They should do well this match.

Bumrah is brilliant.

Not enough by Bangladesh unfortunately :frowning:

Needed 300.

That loss in 2007 was tough to take.

I think they got upto a par score. The overs by Thakur helped them quite a bit.

300 would have been a fighting total; 270-280 was bare minimum.

280 would have been a very good score. 250-260 par.

Shouldn’t get carried away by the start the openers gave.

Also this pitch in Pune often does a bit more under lights, there’s that factor to consider as well.

Pitch is flat, boundaries short, India bat deep and strong.

They’ll knock off 250 without problems.

Is the Bangladeshi captain a recent appointee ?

Sakib is a veteran, but he is out injured today.

Fucking hell, we aren’t even trying :rofl::rofl::rofl:

I was kinda hoping for wide going for a boundry by the end of that. :rofl:

Bangladesh clearly missed his runs.

Jesus mate, take jinxing break sometime :rofl:

Well every game is a final for us. For us to make the top 4, we are likely going to need to beat any other top 4 contender on points, as those two initial losses murdered our run rate.

Our tournament ends, or is given a breath of life tonight against Pakistan.

Nothing to fear from Pakistan. They are too inconsistent.

They often look to bounce back from a defeat really strongly. And they might do that vs aussies.

Depends on which Pak turn up.

Their bowling frankly (despite what pundits say) is bleh. They don’t have a good spinner which is surprising as the best Pakistan sides always had great spinners. Pakistan’s batting was always not upto par and the same continues in this world cup but it’s their bowlers which are not nearly as good as what people make them out to be.

Shaheen seems to have lost his form, Rauf is a wayward speed merchant and the third bowler is bleh.

Can you please tip Australia just to needle @JU97ICE?
