Afg once again showing way better application than BD
The problem is all the new generation batsman think 50 overs cricket is all about wham bam for all 50 overs. No one wants to apply themselves just get a quick 50 and get out. Building innings is something we do not see from teams like Bangladesh. Also the biggest concern for Bangladesh should be the reliance on Tamim, Shakib and Mushfiqur. If they fail the entire team fails. They need others to step up and do that immediately as you never know when either of them will retire.

Bangladesh may have seen a rise in world cricket but they are still backwards in terms of nurturing the talent they have, Afghanistan do the opposite. If they find a talent they are nurturing them well. Also with these smaller teams trying to make a name of themselves you will always see everyone trying to contribute.

On match, Jadeja has bowled exceptionally well and hope we can get them below 200. Afghanistan are doing good as well post the wickets and anything about 200 with Rashid and Mujib will be difficult to chase for Pakistan.
 
Mohd Nawaz 3 wickets good
112 for 3

Usman suddenly bowling way too fast,I wish his last 4 over not wayward otherwise Sarfu gets mad to every team members

I am impress with Shahidi

113 for 3

I think 240 good score pak can not chase unless zaman/Imam gave them great starts

150/159 all out I guess for BD

234/240 by Afghanistan because Pakistan not try to take wicket but wants to make sure batsman not rotate the strike, very strange tactic by Sarfu

India gets danger man Mahmudullah.

Kumar told, "you are out" but batsman ask review which they do not have.

101 for 6

Mortaza must play crazy 6 hitter innings otherwise yet another easy indian victory

Jadeja 4 for 28
 
Jadeja
10/0/29/4
M.O.M[DOUBLEPOST=1537538650][/DOUBLEPOST]Kuldeep dropped @catch off Kumar otherwise 8 down
 
What did I say? Afghanistan might loose a wicket or two in succession but they will keep on applying themselves. 260 is more then a good total on this pitch with Rashid and Mujib in side. Pakistan will have to play really well.
 
I love how Pakistan keeps picking teams based on media bytes. They decided to get behind Amir and managed to get him dropped. I'm not a fan of economy rates but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that he created a lot of pressure for the others to take wickets. I hope Usman Khan plays against India. He's a proper buffet bowler.
 
If Afghanistan ( played all games only at abu dhabi)some how enter in Final they will be not lucky
Vs india because final will be in Dubai not Abu dhabi.

Sunday: ind vs pak
Tue: ind vs Afg.

If Pakistan fails to scores 258 in 300 ball today their moral will be down on Sunday vs india.
 
Wow that was some appeal by Bangladesh. He has actually stopped the ball and decided to appeal for a catch.

Typical Bangladeshi, disgusting.

When the BD Cricket started their evolution in 2014-15, I used to support them but in the recent past they have lost all!
 
I really would have sent MSD to bat up the order instead of Raydu. Come on we are not loosing this and MSD needs to be playing matches and batting.
 
Pakistan should be little bit careful. It is good they are playing sensibly and not loosing wicket but if the asking rate goes up to 6-7 and with Rashid it will only get difficult. Keep scoring and saving wickets at the same time.
 
Now this is great batting from both the Pakistani batsman. Do not see them losing this now. Well played, just accelerated at the right time.
