cant drop Mash he is the captain. Both Mash and Gazi are good players, just had a bad day with the ball? but with the bat they BIG hitters and can be handy. I'd keep them in the side.

One's, who has to be nowhere near the team is Reza. Reza is not international class, and if there is Anamul there's is no need for Mithun. It Could just be an experiment done seeing what these two can do hence they were picked.

Shabbir Rahman and Mominul in for Reza and Mithun. DEFO

GAZI is not a big hitter, he can hold a bat, thats about it. Put an above average bowler in front of him, 5times out of 6, he will swing the bat and make contact with thin air. He plays for his bowling and his batting is a plus whenever it pays off. HOWEVER, his bowling looks atrocious against any team that is capable of playing spin.

Mithun Ali deserves another shot. He had to go for it at that stage so i am willing to give him another chance.
I would make three changes
i) Mominul for Tamim (momin at 3 and Anamul opens)
ii) Shabbir for Reza
iii) Ryad for Gazi

I would be happy with it.

I will be so happy if Tamim is benched for this match. His dogshit run rate cost us the first match. This dude is so lazy, that he won't run 3s! In a t20 match! Where every run counts! Imagine that.

Are we that pathetic that we will make room for an unfit guy in the team because his skills merit it?

How many more runs will he cost us today if he plays, I don't know. But if he keeps turning down 3s everytime, we will be in an identical situation as before.

Because his name is tamim and his uncle is in the selection process

godzilla · #11 February 14, 2014, 07:09 AM

Lol at sabbir.

Jadukor · #12 February 12, 2014, 10:07 AM

Anamul, Shamsur, Mominul, Shakib, Nasir, Shabbir, Mithun, Ryad, Arafat, Rubel, Mash

riajul · #13 February 12, 2014, 10:10 AM

All the best. Hoping for a win this time.

What type of gel is this? Farhad Reza gel?

shuziburo · #16 February 12, 2014, 10:19 AM

Tamim, Shamsur, Anamul, Mominul, Shakib, Nasir, Shabbir, Riyad, Gazi, Al-Amin, Mash

I would have wanted a few others (like Robiul or Enamul), but they are not in the 15.

Its so funny you kept Gazi in your squad and dropped Arafat suny

Jadukor · #18 February 12, 2014, 10:23 AM

the 5 runs of overthrows by mash hurts right now

roman · #19 February 12, 2014, 10:33 AM

I would drop Reza and Mithun and pick Riyad and Shabbir.

Zeeshan · #20 February 12, 2014, 10:42 AM

Reza took a good catch today. @Shuza bhai well it's also about playing under pressure and these same "winning combo" were subjected to intense pressure. If you bring in new face it may offset the rhythm. Where is Sohel bhai btw?

Hasan2k8 · #21 February 12, 2014, 10:56 AM

Tamim
Shamsur
Anamul(wk)
Shakib
Mominul/Shabbir
Nasir
Mahmudullah
Gazi/shabbir
Mortaza
Al amin
Sunny

Batsmen's: Tamim and Shamsur need to get the team off to a flyer (like they did in the 1st t20 of this series), tamim in particular has to play much quicker and he is very much capable of that. InshAllah. Anamul and Sahkib to continue the run rate at a good pace. Lower order finishing off the job.

Bowlers:- Shakib 4 overs. Mortaza 4 overs( mostly if not all before 18th over). Al Amin 4 overs. Gazi (if plays) 4 overs. Mahmudullah-Nasir-Mominul/Shabbir to cheap in for rest of the overs.

Hasan2k8 · #22 February 12, 2014, 11:10 AM

Rubel had decent economy.bowled aright. But I wanna see what Alamin has to offer at t20's. world t20 coming up need to have some back ups.

MHRAM · #23 February 12, 2014, 11:21 AM

Tamim
Shamsur
Anamul
Nasir
Shakib
Sabbir
Riad
Rubel/Amin
Mashrafee
Sunny

This is a good side on paper and is the most likely team combination for the next match.
