Nice work Maysun.
Can't wait for the game.

I say let Shakib open the batting for this warm up and give him the license to hit. After all its a warm up match. Id leave Tamim out for this match but put him back in the team for the next match. I just want this match to be a little experiment.

1. Shakib Al Hasan
2. Mohammad Ashraful
3. Junaid Siddique/Jahurul Islam
4. Mushfiqur Rahim
5. Mahmudullah
6. Ziaur Rahman
7. Farhad Reza
8. Mashrafe Mortaza
9. Abdur Razzak
10. Shafiul Islam
11. Abul Hasan

Thats exactly why i want this match to be an experiment. In the team that i have made there are 5 pace bowling options. From this experimentation we can select which pace bowlers should play through the tournament because pace bowling is a big worry for BD. Farhad Reza might suprise as all in terms of his pace bowling. If he does well then we can bring Farhad into the team as a specialist pace bowler.

I would also like to see who is the better performer from Siddique and Jahurul so we have an idea of who should be our backup top order batsmen just incase Ashraful plays bad or if an injury pops up.

First MT ??
Then wishing you good luck

Regarding team XI, I think we have had enough chance for experiment.
Field the XI that will play against NZ.
They should get the exposure of the conditions before the fringe.

Out Matches are in kandy and warm ups in Colombo ...judging by slpl the pitches are not the same.. Not good..

And thats exactly the type of thinking that will make us lose! Hope our player do not think this as well. T20 is anyones game on the day. Ireland just had their day today, but who knows how zim will play when they face us. They will be even more motivated after this loss.

We lost 3 out of 4 games against Zimbabwe just two months ago

Yeah didn't we lose the last one against them? No wait, that was unofficial and we got our butts handed to us in that tournament (last) and they won.

[BengaliPagol]

i reckon opening with Shakib isnt a bad idea because most teams will open the bowling with spinners so if we get Shakib in as soon as possible then it might relieve some early pressure.

Thank you, simon bhai and nice av!

[zinatf]

YAY!! You opened a match thread great

I'm NOT hoping anything from our beloved "tigers"

[Wakidul]

so why do we get practice against the likes of zim and ire, would have been happy to c a practice match agaisnt some1 like england, south africa, australia, india. Well atleast 1, to make the level of opposition atleast similar to what will face against in the group stage.

[Maple1900]

Will it be an international t20 or just a practice match?
Will it be televised too?
