Cloudy and windy, I guess swing bowling will come into effect today.

Let's Go Bangladesh!
Shoktishaali Shoktikmaan Bangladesh!

This is gonna be easy for BD. I think Namibia's bowling is their weakest link. Saif and Pinak have a chance to score big.

Afghanistan versus Pakistan is gonna be a good battle between bat and ball. I don't think this one will be televised.

Papua New Guinea v Zimbabwe will be the undercard...

Kiwis versus Windies is gonna be mouthwatering. Kirstan and Bhaskar

^^ Generally they broadcast only one match per day. I am guessing it will be NZ vs WI?

Most likely, but I would be surprised if the Pakistan/Afghanistan game comes on

[Match Adda]

This is a golden chance for Bd u19 to play final, easy group, enough talents r there to take Bd home ...
Pinak, saif, Afif ,ridoy r the most experienced then others especially playing bpl and npl... they should bring the cup home and getting celebrity for life .... because it’s a World Cup. And prime minister of Bd sheik Hasina as a cricket fan, will make them rich in over night... and they knows that..
Go Bd start good , play fearless cricket .

[Eshen]

Start of BD-Nam match delayed due to rain

[bujhee kom]

Exactly...we are full of talents, Medha and Brain...Only problem is we are Bhoboghuery, and we don't study, and then naturally Porikkhai Fel kori.

[aklemalp]

Pakistan 1 down already.

Naveen-ul-Haq strikes early, with his first legal delivery

[aklemalp]

Afghanistan are gonna steamroll Pakistan

[aklemalp]

Zimbabwe and PNG game also delayed

[aklemalp]

Ah, counterattack from Rohail Nazir...

Taking on th Afghans. ..good fightback

[aklemalp]

Time to bring in Mujeeb

[aklemalp]

Zahir Khan and Mujeeb are held back. What strategy is this from Naveen-ul-Haq?

[aklemalp]

Rohail into the 40s, scoring at close to a run-a-ball.

Afghanistan needs to break this partnership

[aklemalp]

Finally, Zahir the chinaman, into the attack

[aklemalp]

They gotta break this partnership, Rohail is milking the runs

[aklemalp]

Fifty up for Rohail. The Afghans have lost the plot. Should have brought in Mujeeb early

[aklemalp]

Oh, so cricinfo commentary has messed up.

So Mujeeb has been bowling all the time, they got his name incorrect. ...already 5 overs he has bowled

[tiger1000]

Considering average age of the afghans will be like 23, I reckon they've got a good shot at it

[aklemalp]

This Rohail looks like a great talent. Impressed so far

[aklemalp]

Two quick wickets.


Five down for 150

[aklemalp]

Afghanistan can wrap this up in a hurry.

8 down for Pakistan, and only 168
