Good luck Bangladesh

[Mas_UK25]

Let's get with the attitude and mentality how we went at them last year, keeping in mind we've beaten them well convincingly last year. Have beliefs and confidence in yourselves!

Go get 'em Tigers! 🇧🇩

Joy Bangla!

We came so close of beating pakistan before 2015. I think we had a mental block. Since thats broken i think we r psychologically ahead. Amir and Afridi are factors but we shall be able to overcome them. Just look at the way we beat them last yr.

Superb thread Gopal da!

In the name of our Lord, we start our journey.

Best of luck team Bangladesh! Super love!

My squad for the game,

Tamim
Imrul
Shabbir
Mushy
Shakib
Riyad
Soumya
Mashrafe
Rony
Al Amin
Taskin

For me, Sohan isnt really needed. But I want to give Soumya a shot at lower order. He looks to hit it and in the end, he can do so more freely. Soumya> Nurul. Mithun can also play there I guess. Rony automatically makes it. I think he will be a top performer. He is someone the Pakistani batsmen will try to go after. Glad to type "Tamim" at the top. Its a relief. Doesnt even matter if he performs or not.

[Jadukor]

Can Tamim bring his PSL form? We aeriously need a good start with the bat.

that will be a huge overhaul. I don't think the mgmt will make some radical changes, esp coming from a good win.

[ma_o_mati]

1. Tamim
2. Soumya
3. Sabbir (its not saber ramiz raja)
4. Shakib
5. Mushfiq
6. Riyad
7. Nasir
8. Mashrafee
9. Al amin
10. Taskin
11. Rony

I don't think they do kpda. I am going by CI stats.

[aklemalp]

Awesome thread Big Zee..hope it'll be a successful one.

[patriot]

If we bat first, 150 plus is a must.

If we bowl first, restricting them below 130 is vital.

10-15 runs of Amir is enough. The pitches have very little grass now, so natural swing for him.

[Zeeshan]

khela shurur ag porjonto enjoy koro

[BD_TigerZ]

Sunny has a good record vs Pak also pitch is more suited to spinners so don't think Rony will just walk into a crunch game like this.

[patriot]

Drop Nurul gilchrist for this game please. The guy is an absolute mug with the bat and I am being very nice here. Nasir is a better option.

[ma_o_mati]

I think between shakib, nasir and riyad we hv enough options. Do we really need sunny? I admit he was good against them last time but that was in odi's right?

U beat me to it

[patriot]

Since Pakistan has a number of right handers, sunny can be a good option. Also Umar akmal has well known weakness against the arm ball.

Dont use sunny save him for the harder odis plus if he plays this match icc will probably discover his chucking action

[Jadukor]

In the absence of Mustafizur, the death over bowling is our major worry. We will need Al Amin and Rony to bowl the last 4. Taskin has to provide the breakthrough at the start of the innings. Hope we can move Soumia to any other position from slip

[ma_o_mati]

Taskin went for few runs in last t20 we played against pakistan. That was almost a year ago. Can rony replace taskin and sunny come in?

We need early wickets and Taskin is our only genuine wicket taking pacer up front Al Amin is decent against lefties but we need his quota at death since there's no Mustafiz. We could drop Nurul for Rony as his batting can't be worse and that he can tonk it...and play Sunny for Mustafiz.

Any Bangladesh side without Mithun and Imrul is a strong Bangladesh side..
