[BD_TigerZ]

Should be the last of senior statesman if he puts a foot wrong.

[Rana Melb]

If shakib and mushy can play 10 overs..BD will win for sure.

While Riyad blocked full tosses in T20 against WI. Not hating on Riyad, he is technically much better than Mash in batting. But I don't think he is suited for T20. (winning us against Hong Kong isn't a good example).

[M.H.Rubel]

My team:
1. Tamim
2. Shamsur
3.Anamul
4.Shakib
5.Mushy
6.Nadir
7.Sabbir
8. Forhad
9. Mash
10.Gazi
11. Al Amin

Zim beat Afghans comprehensively. I hope it will not be a matter for us.

[Jadukor]

we need a 180+ score to feel safe

[Shubho]

LET'S TAKE A REEBHENZ!

buddy, the truth is, NO one in our team is capable of full tosses. Its like when someone bowls a full toss at them, unless its almost a no ball and a slow one, they are simply too shocked to hit it. They cant believe they are being gifted!

[epitaph]

Tamim, Shamsur, Sabbir, Shakib, Mushfiq, Momin, X, Farhad, Sohag, Mashrafi, Al-Amin

X = Mahmud/Nasir. Both are off-form but favoring Mahmud because he did well vs UAE and is a better bowling option.

We point out Riyad's boundary hitting and that is obviously an issue but if you compare him with Mushy, they have about the same amount of boundaries. However, Mushy's SR is 117 while Riyad's is 99. So that points another flaw in Riyad that his single taking ability is also pretty weak.

Mad-sakadza was the X-factor! It was a one-man show!!


We need to play like we did against the Irish.

[naim519]

we will prevail inshaAllah!

if we don't at least we won the warm up matches.

[Rana Melb]

I m concerned about Anamul's form. He is very vulnerable at early stage. He Should come later

[Vua]

Another shameful loss coming up !

BD will win this time.. I am sure. We just need a good start without losing wicket.

[BD_TigerZ]

Tamim's innings huge.
