189 is not a tough target on this pitch. ZIM-5%, BD-95% right now, IMHO.

BD needs to realize that they don't need to play too many strokes. Just singles can win you this match!

What poor decision? Probably he wanted to try all his bowling resources before world cup. Nothing wrong with his captaincy, except him bowling way too much in powerplays. That too wasn't terrible as he may have to bowl in powerplays to stronger opponents, who're good players of pace.

If the first innings is any indicator, Bangladesh will find it tough to get the boundaries going because of the heavy outfield. They will require a lot of patience to overhaul this target

Cricinfo..

[al-Sagar]

shuvo was our best fielder in this series until that last two overs

[ialbd]

189 will be tough in this wicket... we needed cautious responsible start from our batsmen. Should focus on singles rather than over the fielders...

amader to cautious batsman er obhab nai ..... imrul, junaid, rockibul, mushfiq, naeem .... sob e cautios, tamim ar shakib ektu aggressive ar kee

I dont know how players like Nayeem, Shuvo will fit in XI in WC...their bowling is not so special...big teams will easily score 6-7 runs from their each over.....they are not good hitter of the ball(may b some'll argue that Nayeem won us a match against Zim with his bat...but that was past and against big teams I dont think NAyeem can be agood slogger)........So what is the role of this two players..????
I sugget we should play 1 good batsman...& 1 good spin bowler instead of some "So called allrounders"

[Haru-party]

the problem is not the wicket but the outfield.....should be lots of ones and twos....running between the wicket valo korteh hobe

No need to change. Both are correct. Check his CI profile.

the boundaries all seem rather short...esp the short ones at long off/on

[al Furqaan]

we really need to target a 10 wicket win...we've never done that before.

[Shartaz]

@Furqaan- that would be great....

we failed to chase 45 without losing a wicket....this is 189!!!!

[Ehsan]

Not quite happy with Shuvo's bowling today. Was very ordinary, and something is up with Shakib. He is not up to his best with bowling.

[Nafi]

This match thread is quite dead

Field is pretty weight. Batting would would be pretty hard here.

Running between the wickets will be the hard part
