CWC 19: Bangladesh V India

[Sarge]

10.30am start - India likely to win, ...after the match on Sunday could Bangladesh cause an upset? Edgbaston will be packed!

 

[Sarge]

India won the toss and chose to bat first

 

[Sarge]

believe this is a 'must win' for Bangladesh if they have any hopes of making the semi finals?

Yes, they'll have to win both of their last two games to stand a chance.

 

[ZeroTheHero]

Some dismal fielding by Bangladesh has ensured that India have got off to a good start. You'd think Bangladesh would have to take every chance if they were to get close in this one.

 

[Sarge]

catching up with todays CWC match after a visit to the dentist ... 105-0 after 18 overs.... Rahul gets his 50 ... Bangladesh fielding, as @ZeroTheHero said ^ , has been woeful... if you dont take your chances , you probably dont deserve to win

 

[Sarge]

26 overs in 164-0 ... this is batting practice for India's openers!

 

[Foley]

Blimmin hell this could be carnage.
Rohit has his 100 and 176 for 0 after just 29 overs.

 

[Sarge]

Rohit gone in the 29th for 104 ... first wicket Bangladesh have got in this match

next batsman is Kholi ... wonder if he'll complain about the short boundary at Edgebaston?

32 overs gone 190-1.... run rate just under 6 per over currently

 

[Sarge]

Rahul gone for 77 ...196-2 ...17 overs left

 

[Sarge]

into the last 15 overs now ... will current batsmen Kholi & Pant be approaching the remaining 90 balls T20 style?

211-2 as it stands after 35 overs

 

[ZeroTheHero]

Heading for a huge score unless Bangladesh can fight back. 370?

Heading for a huge score unless Bangladesh can fight back. 370?

looks likely at the moment

 

[Sarge]

Blimey ...2 wickets in one over! Kholi and Pandya .... 237-4 ... 66 balls left

 

[Gary Baldi]

India playing like they were given the mother of all bollockings by the coaching staff after their performance the other day

 

[Sarge]

Pant swinging his bat proper IPL/T20 style ... six x 4's and one big 6 accounting for the majority of his 44 runs (so far) in this innings

Pant swinging his bat proper IPL/T20 style ... six x 4's and one big 6 accounting for the majority of his 44 runs (so far) in this innings

on cue Pant gone on 48 in the 45th over ....279-5 30 deliveries left

 

[Marked Ox]

on cue Pant gone on 48 in the 45th over ....279-5 30 deliveries left

Unless India now go nuts then they have tailed off a bit from the earlier likely looking score.

 

[ZeroTheHero]

Bangladesh have done well to pull this back. India are about 50 short of what I thought they'd get when they were just 2 down.

 

[Sarge]

314-8 .... have Bangladesh got the staying power to chase this down?

 

[Sarge]

Bangladesh 16-0 after 4 overs ... just 299 left to chase down

 

[Sarge]

Tamin bowled out for 22 ... bit of a blow for Bangladesh 10 overs down 40-1

 

[Sarge]

India review a possible lbw ... not out... 12 overs ...53-1

 

[Sarge]

15 overs gone ...as has another wicket ...74-2

 

[Sarge]

23rd over ...121-3 Mushfiqar (?) hit it square and caught , for 24

 

[Sarge]

Linton gone in the 30th for 22 ... Shakib has so far been driving Bangladesh's chase along with a brisk 50+

162-4 from 29.4 overs

 

[Sarge]

17.4 to bowl ... another Bangladesh wicket gone ... 173-5 ....142 needed , & it looks like its getting beyond them?

 

[Sarge]

Shakib gone for 66 ... 180-6 ...15.3 overs left.... 135 needed .... too much of an ask?

 

[Sarge]

current run rate there or thereabouts for Bangladesh's chase ... with 6 wickets down, that could be where the problem is... 219-6 ... 11 overs left ... target is 96 to win

 

[Sarge]

required run rate just over 10 an over now with 71 needed off 7.3 overs
