Match Thread: Bangladesh vs. South Africa 5th match, ICC Cricket World Cup at London, Jun 2nd 2019

[Yasin.]

No Liton and Sabbir dropped for Mosaddek.

[Match Adda]

Good toss to lose ? Time will tell
But wanting to see BD bat first

[Match Adda]

Like the squad, but rubel should’ve in for saif

[Roni_uk]

Mithun suddenly makes sense with collapses and low scoring games .. BD will sabbir's fielding

[Roey Haque]

No Rubel. They might switch Miraz with Rubel when playing the Asian teams.

History says BD always does well when they lose toss in crucial matches.

Mash likes Fizz and Saifuddin as the closers at the death. Rubel is the better bowler of course, but better during the middle overs.

Rubel might come in instead of Miraz when playing the Asian teams.

Hope mithun prove his chance today
Sabbir dropping was valid ... mossa can bowl

Few great CI comments:

Abhijato: "In each of the four WC matches so far, we have seen world-class execution of skills on one side, and nerves which prevented the opposition from doing the same. Hence, we haven't yet seen The Quintessential Thriller (TQT) we were told to expect many of in this format. However, as the context laid out for this match by the ever wonderful Liam Brickhill shows, both these teams are far from pushovers. I, for one, will keep a close eye on the score, for this might be our first T.Q.T.!"

Mahneel: "Super exciting times for us Bangladeshis back home. The streets have started becoming thinner as thousands flock indoors to witness Bangladesh's first match in this World Cup. #FingersCrossed"

Mark: "Four matches. In all four the side batting first has struggled, with England the only winners. It makes me think that if Bangladesh win the Toss and chase, we could have the somewhat ridiculous situation that South Africa are half way out of the tournament with two losses before all ten sides have even played a game."

Aupi: "This is Bangladesh's best WC side and we're all expecting big things from them. We weren't able to see how big a score they could make during the tri nations in Ireland as they were able to achieve their targets with overs to spare. The warmup against India was missing Tamim but then again, it was just a warm up. Looking forward to the match against SA. Should be a good one."

Istiak : "BD team missed the opportunity to include inform Liton Das. They could have included him instead of Mithun. Das have the power and technique to be a finisher as well. GOOD LUCK BD TIGERS"

Very strong bowling line up for south africa

I also would have chosen Liton instead of Mithun.

[Tausif]

Let's do this boys we can do it!

Faf du Plessis: "We're playing the extra seamer today so we want to try and attack Bangladesh with some extra pace. We want to take the learnings from the previous game. I thought he did really well to restrict a strong England batting line-up. Today we are playing a slightly different team. Obviously Hashim Amla got hit on the head so David Miller comes back in and then the other change is Chris Morris, we're trying to get some extra pace with this wicket. There was a bit of extra bounce and we're trying to make use of that."

The approach should be to be cautious in the first 20 overs and lose not more than 1 wicket.

I believe if we can score 270 or more, SA will lose

[al-Sagar]

Time for anthems

[Roey Haque]

We need WC centurions. The only two centuries we have at the WC are both from the bat of Riyad.

nafiz: "SA to bowl first. By using extra pace Du plessis means a bouncer barrage. Lets see what our top 3 is made of"

Takks Mota Musi: "Bating top Shakib Vs Tahir.. where Tahir has dismissed Shakib three times in less than 10 overs. "

[nightman]

Dropping lkd was a mistake.. Middle order exposed..
Good luck..

Karthik: "Both teams have same green colour Jersey is there any changes in Jersey colour for today . Heard every team is having two different coloured Jersey, is that so" South Africa will wear their yellow top with green pants.

BD will wear the regular one whereas SA will wear their alternative jersey.

[ToBeFair]

SA looks like Brazil football team.

[MarufH]

I am pumped! Lets do it, Bangladesh!

[Night_wolf]

I want a TQT! but most probably we'll get BD 150 All out and SA finishing in 30 overs

[Match Adda]

Let’s play .... tamim and somaya be a hero today brothers

[ToBeFair]

Amla looked sleepy during anthem.
