First!
Good luck Bangladesh. one game at a time.
Love you tigers!

[Donal C]

Straight off the plane and into your toughest game.

Dutch have a good chance here IMO, well drilled outfit and will be raring to go. All pressure on Bangladesh.

[Night_wolf]

if we can beat dutch with no warmups and little time to get adjusted with the environment that'll say a lot about our team's recent progress

[Moh899]

Guys calm down! We'll win InshaAllah..

[Moh899]

We need to win this game by a very big margin to boost our NRR. There is a high chance of rain on our remaining two matches, which could put us at a serious risk of getting eliminated.

My XI for this game:

Tamim
Soumya
Sabbir
Mushfiq
Shakib
Mahmudullah
Nasir
Mash (C)
Taskin
Al Amin
Rony

Same squad for our Asia Cup finals, assuming Mustafiz doesn't recovered fully. We shouldn't take chances playing Mithun or Nurul, and taking the Dutch side lightly.

If we don't win by a big margin, and if our next two games are ties due to rain, we have a zero chance of getting into the Super 10. The pressure is on us.

[aklemalp]

So is there any news concerning Shakib and his form? Is he bowling well in the nets? How's his morale? Is he pumped up?

Can we we some Shakala Masala in Dharmashala?

[Tausif]

Mustafiz won't play so most likely Sunny coming in. Will be a tough match I reckon since we didn't get much match practice on this ground. Let's see

Waiting to read your group preview on pakpassion. Quit wasting time here, D!

[Rana Melb]

Mustafiz will not play the qualifying round

[Rana Melb]

Mash is worried about the night matches. Also breathing is an issue for the players.

[brockley]

I'm looking forward to this go the Orange.
No Mustoifizur is a worry,i'd play Sunny.

[boka]

আশাকরি দলের সাথে যারা আছেন জ্ঞানীজন তাগো খেয়ালে থাকবো বৃষ্টির বিষয়ডা,
এই মাঠে একখান টি২০ আর্ন্তজাতিক হইছে,
রান তো দেহি ২০০ করলেও তাড়া করা যায় আরামছে

আশাকরি টসে জিতলে বোলিং করবে প্রথমে
এবং মোল্লাহ কে বলকরার সুযোগ দিবে
হেই বেডা তো এশিয়াকাপে সবচেয়ে কিপ্টামী কইরা বল কইরা ৬ ওভারে ৪.৬ গড়ে রান দিয়া ৪টা উইকেট নেয়ার পরও ফাইনালে ১খান ওভার বল করার সুযোগও পায় নাই

Orange color will be replaced by Green and Red. The painting process will be artistic.😃

[brockley]

Nah the Coopers gonna kick your ***(Coopers' beer),and the Saffies will do even more damage,hope you like spin with your pace.

[tanvir_nus]

Night Wolf and WarWolf.... Who is the real wolf please stand up please stand up.

[MHRAM]

I am a bit nervous about this game because we don't have batsman to help us chase anything more than 150. Also the conditions will be difficult for us, I wish Mustafiz played but it's going to be tough without him

[Kohli_Sox]

We will lose this. Rip T20 world cup.
