You would expect something like this from the bcb, but BCCI is no better it seems lol

Eng might take their vengeance on us to recover from the drubbing they getting today. Luckily our bowling is much stronger than 2019. I recall Miraz was starting to cry after getting smashed by Jason Roy.

[BookFinder]

BD fans are crying over Slowmim and causing useless drama meanwhile NZ misses out on Williamson, Ferguson, Southie and still smashes Eng.

[godzilla]

Why are they showing eng v bd match with Buttler and shanto. They don't know Shakib is the captain -.+

[Jadukor]

I knew Conway was a tremendous player but what about Rachindra. What an innings!!! None of them played a false stroke in the whole innings.

Worry about eng revenge later, first we have AFG to beat. Our batsmen have to put up 300+ totals. There is no other way.

[Night_wolf]

I for one is ready for eng match..c'mon you wankers

Oh that's 2nd match? First we have to beat Afg?...nevermind

[anon4567]

That was a disappointing turn out for an opening game.



They should have just given free entry at this point to save face. I find it funny how Indian sports pundits were criticizing inclusion of associate nations for not being able to draw big crowds.

I've legit seen more supporters for the Ireland vs UAE game in 2015 CWC

[Miraz]

It is a hammering by New Zealand. England got thrashed and they looked like a rabbit caught in a headlight. Well done to Kiwis.

England’s next game is against us and it’s difficult to predict which England will turn up.

[Jadukor]

As a hospitable nation, I think we will help England find form and confidence

[iDumb]

Can Netherland do it today? Vital wicket for pak now with Rizwan in. Eibhabe khelke wc jita laagbe na. I don't know why ppl rank this team so high.. favorites to win wc, reach semi.. based on what ?? Few over rated fast bowlers ? India got better Bowlers

[Shadow]

On good pitches like England vs New Zealand, it would be difficult to contain runs. The batsmen if they don't make mistakes can really cash in. Teams who have good batting will back themselves to chase anything.

[adamnsu]

Come on you flying Dutchman!!!

Not sure how their batting is but they are causing trouble for the Pakistanis

[Shehwar]

Look what number 7 and 8 are doing for Pakistan. We need a 7 and 8 in our team who can do this. Our lower order is so inadequate!

Absolutely!! In Asia cup we won against India only because of some lower order decent batting.

Last 4 of our wickets are 0 runs wicket. How we can win ..there will be bad days for even the most inform top bat.

And we need to score 320 innings .....who is gonna do it ? Mahmudullah with taskin fizz and shoriful.??

[Shehwar]

I feel Netherlands have a very good chance to chase this down. 286 on this pitch might not be enough to defend if they keep their heads.

[Shadow]

The top order of Bangladesh has to score bulk of the runs and stay there till the end. In any other situations, batting won't survive more than 30-35 overs given how collapse prone the batting lineup is.

[adamnsu]

Bangladesh’s bottom order more solid than the top order

Ned have good chance if they can survive saheen at the start. Though Pak scored par score. Babar was targeting 290 300 at the toss..ball is sticking to the pitch..Dutch will find it hard to handle Pak spinners. Though after the initial phase dew will help them handling spinners

[iDumb]

pak is most dangerous in first few overs of new ball bowling. Survive first 10 overs without loss of wicket, don't worry about run rate.. and you got this netherland.

I would take this total to chase for BD even with our shaky batting anyday

[Night_wolf]

Pak just too good for ned

[adamnsu]

Netherlands copying Bangladeshi batsman

[adamnsu]

Pakistani der biyrani hajoom howa shuru korse.

Great ploy by BCCI to seduce Pakistanis with biryani before a match

[BookFinder]

If Ned played sensibly they could've chased this down. Regardless, teams like NED are filled with bunch of South Asian expats and South Africans. I much rather support teams like IRE, Scotland, Nepal, etc.

Do the honor. Open individual specific match. Don't be shy.
