Step up Shane!

Now he will just walk home with his lady hip and that girly smile of his. Sure as hell I don't want us to be in this mora-mora situation in the World Cup.

Where do you think he messed up big time ?? I thought he did well ...

[Shaun petr]

i am more concerned about our pacers.....Mash is sucking now a big time......but mahmudullah.....atta boy!!!!!!!!!

[PoorFan]

Whatever, Mushy didnt use his brain well. He should have given couple overs to Nasir at middle of the innings. I blame his craptancy for this heartattack win.

[reyme]

That was a great escape. We have to work on our gameplan, specially on blowing rotation.

I dont know if we can get Ian Pont for our pacers. Shane Jurgensen is seriously struggling in the pace dept. I dont see how is he making any impact....pacers are bowling below club level..

Now we beat them in a series at their own ground and settle the score.

So I don't care how the Irish played. They are not in my concern.

Good post Rabz.
We are the winner.

ঢাকা, জুলাই ২১ (বিডিনিউজ টোয়েন্টিফোর ডটকম) - দ্বিতীয় টি-টোয়েন্টিতে আয়ারল্যান্ডকে ১ রানে হারিয়ে সিরিজ নিশ্চিত করেছে বাংলাদেশ। এই জয়ের ফলে ৩ ম্যাচের সিরিজ ২-০ ব্যবধানে এগিয়ে গেল অতিথিরা।

সিরিজ জয়ের পাশাপাশি আইসিসির টি-টোয়েন্টি র‌্যাঙ্কিংয়ে স্থান পেল বাংলাদেশ। আয়ারল্যান্ডের ঠিক ওপরে নয় নম্বরে রয়েছে অতিথি দলটি।

বেলফাস্টের সিভিল সার্ভিস ক্রিকেট ক্লাব মাঠে টস জিতে ব্যাট করতে নেমে নাসির হোসেনের অপরাজিত অর্ধশতকের সুবাদে ৬ উইকেটে ১৪৬ রান করে বাংলাদেশ। জবাবে ৬ উইকেটে ১৪৫ রানেই থেমে যায় আয়ারল্যান্ডের ইনিংস।

জবাবে অধিনায়ক উইলিয়াম পোর্টরফিল্ডের (১৪) সঙ্গে স্টারলিংয়ের ৩১ রানের উদ্বোধনী জুটি স্বাগতিকদের ভালো সূচনা এনে দেয়। নিজের দ্বিতীয় ওভারে দলীয় ৪৯ রানে স্টারলিংকে (২৬) ইলিয়াস সানি ফিরিয়ে দিলে রানের গতি একটু কমে আয়ারল্যান্ডের।

তৃতীয় উইকেটে গ্যারি উইলসনের (৩৭) সঙ্গে এড জয়েসের ৫৫ রানের জুটি স্বাগতিকদের খুব ভালো অবস্থানে নিয়ে আসে। সানির শেষ বলে উইলসন বিদায় নিলে খেলায় ফিরে বাংলাদেশ। এরপর বিপদজনক কেভিন ও’ব্রায়েনকে ফিরিয়ে দিয়ে স্বাগতিকদের বড় একটা ধাক্কা দেন আব্দুর রাজ্জাক।

তারপরও আশা টিকিয়ে রেখেছিলেন জয়েস (৪১)। তবে নিজের শেষ দুই ওভারে ১২ রান দিয়ে রোমাঞ্চকর ম্যাচে বাংলাদেশকে জয় এনে দেন মাহমুদুল্লাহ।

শেষ ওভারে জয়ের জন্য কেবল ১০ রান প্রয়োজন ছিল আয়ারল্যান্ডের। প্রথম চার বলে কেবল ২ রান দিয়ে দুই উইকেট তুলে নিয়ে স্বাগতিকদের স্বপ্ন ভেঙ্গে দেন মাহমুদুল্লাহ। শেষ বলে জন মুনি ছক্কা হাঁকালেও তা স্বাগতিকদের হতাশাই বাড়িয়েছে কেবল।

বাংলাদেশের পক্ষে মাহমুদুল্লাহ ও সানি দুটি করে উইকেট নেন।

এর আগে ব্যাট করতে নেমে চতুর্থ ওভারের তৃতীয় বলে দলীয় ১২ রানে তামিম ইকবালের (০) বিদায়ে বাংলাদেশের শুরুটা মোটেও ভালো হয় নি।

আক্রমণাত্মক মেজাজে শুরু করলেও বেশিক্ষণ টেকেন নি বিশ্বসেরা অলরাউন্ডার সাকিব আল হাসান (১১) ও অধিনায়ক মুশফিকুর রহিম (১৪)। দলীয় ৫৫ রানে তৃতীয় ব্যাটসম্যান হিসেবে মুশফিকের বিদায়ের স্বাগতিক বোলাররা চেপে ধরে অতিথিদের।

সহ-অধিনায়ক মাহমুদুল্লাহ রিয়াদের দ্রুত বিদায় অতিথিদের বিপদ বাড়ায় আরো। তবে পঞ্চম উইকেটে নাসির হোসেনের সঙ্গে মোহাম্মদ আশরাফুলের (৪৬ বলে ৩৮ রান) সতর্ক ৩৭ রানের জুটি ধাক্কা সামাল দেয়।

১৭তম ওভারের প্রথম বলে আশরাফুল বিদায় নেয়ার সময় অতিথিদের স্কোর ৯৮/৫। ষষ্ঠ উইকেটে জিয়াউর রহমানের (৭ বলে ১৪ রান) সঙ্গে ১২ বলে ২৫ এবং সপ্তম উইকেটে মাশরাফি বিন মুর্তজার সঙ্গে ১১ বলে ২৩ রানের অবিচ্ছিন্ন জুুটি গড়ে দলকে দেড়শর কাছাকাছি নিয়ে যান নাসির।

শেষ পর্যন্ত ৫০ রানে অপরাজিত থাকেন নাসির। এটি তার প্রথম অর্ধশতক। তার ৩৩ বলের ইনিংসে ৪টি চার ও ২টি ছক্কা।

৩৪ রানে ২ উইকেট নিয়ে ম্যাক্স সোরেনসেন আয়ারল্যান্ডের সেরা বোলার।

Ok you don't know how Abul would've gone today w/o even bowling him. Cut the kid some slack. That was his first game. If you are gonna pick the dude, you might as well use him. And perfect bowling changes? Especially at the death? I hope to God Riyad doesn't bowl the 20th over against Pakistani, needing 8 from 4! Riyad wasn't a choice, rather a LAST RESORT for Rahim's screw up early on. He didn't ingeniously pick Riyad to bowl the last over like you are making it out to be. 5 dead overs between Mash-Abul! One of them should've bowled at least 1 more early on so we wouldn't have been in this position. Also he brought Mash and Abul near the death. Why? If you aren't gonna bowl them, why bowl them at the most crucial moment of the game?! I'd much rather bowl them early. And he didn't even bowl Nasir.

Our attack is spin, but don't make it so blunt. 16 overs of consistent spin and you will have hitters seeing the ball like a beach ball, licking their lips.

[Antora]

That was close. Eating Sehri just before got intense.

Anyway, well done to BD on winning.

[simon]

Drop.Mash and Abul bring Naz back and get an xtra batsman.

We must win the next match and some changes need to happen in this team to achieve that.
Irish are figuring us out fast and adjustment need to be made before its too late.
Abul and MAsh are getting free rides, but Shane is not making any impact to help them out.

Step up Shane!

Right call.

[Dilscoop]

I see no one in here thinks Rahim messed up with the bowling changes. Yup, thank you Riyad. This is what I was worried about. We win the game, and no one will see the issue. There'd have been at least 10 threads on this if Riyad hadn't won us this game.

Bowling coach; I hope you took notes and ready to talk to Rahim.

plenty of people here think Mushy messed up with the bowling change. Don't worry let everyone have their moment. Match thread will continue to get flooded with yes we won, thanks riyad post. Someone will bring up this question in the Mushy thread, I'll see you there

Mushy did well today I must say.

Mushy could have easily ask Nasir to bowl couple of overs, why you play an allrounder if not use it when needed?

[reyme]

Rahim messed up big time and thats clear. But he should be guided by the coach. So coach must take his fair share of the blame as well for poor execution in the field. This was a poor bowling rotation, why on earth you bring back on pacers when they continued to get hammered, specially after 15th over?

Along with pace we need to work with the opening pair . We need more fireworks from that pair. It's T20 , not ODI that you can have the luxury of dot balls. Want explosive shots like Gayle and Shevag in the opening .

Captaincy is a thankless job.....if it works then you are a hero if not then you are an idiot. But it's true that decisions made by a captain should be justified to render his ingenuity. If Abul ended up taking a wicket it would've looked good on Rahim. Instead of giving Mash the 15th over, he should've been just continued with at the beginning. It's pretty dificult for a pacer to get in the groove right away....especially someone like Mash who's been through a lot of physical reconditioning. But the dilemma is, Porterfield played him well yesterday...so Mushy did not want to give them the start. But Mash should not come on the 15th over knowing that KOB just came to bat....it should've been Razzak (KOB is Razzak's bunny). It would've put so much pressure on the Irish losing KOB and not getting as many runs as Mash did in that over. But then again, you can never tell what would've happened with other bowlers afterward either....Shak or Riyad could've gone for more runs.....it's a funny game yo'll.
