Shafiul Islam to pick up 5 wickets. 1 run out. and Rasel/Razzak and Shakib the other 4.

i meant to say Sharpova! Sharpova to pick up 5fer

From this sentence I thought the game was over, it isnt though

so Indian already won huh?

Good going now it looks an evenly balanced match if boys in Green pick 1 or 2 quick ones then i bet it will be Bangla boys with another upset

: We're back here at the Cricket show. I still have with me Sunil Gavaskar. Almost there, the Indians Sunny?

: Yes, they seem to be. With only 45 odd runs to win and 6 wickets in hand, they should do it from here on. But, I must say Indians were in a hurry there. All the batsmen came out and looked to hit every ball out of the park. They paid the price for it. Seems they wanted to finish before the break.

: Bangladeshis bowled well there. Shahadat Hossain....

: Shahadat really did bowl pretty well especially where he got Kohli. I'm surprised with Shakib's tactics here. Rasel was all over the place and yet he was allowed to bowl 6 overs. He leaked runs far too easily.

: Let's move onto Indian bowling effort here. Dinda was absolutely brilliant!

: What can I say! I mean he looked agressive right from the start and delivered big time. On the other hand, Nehra was really expensive considering the situation.

: Dinda might have done enough to keep his place in the team...

: He surely has. Why would you not play him next time? He has certainly left a mark with this sort of performance.

: There is Dinda's pitchmap. Look at that. He just gave a single boundary there and also look at the amount of dot balls there.

: That is exceptional pitching for any bowler. To the left handers, he bowled pretty well giving them no width whatsoever and some yorkers he tried also paid off. To the right handers, he didn't concede a single run and instead took 3 wickets. The good thing about Dinda was he allowed the ball to do the talking off the pitch. He didn't try anything fancy and that worked wonders for him. I'm looking forward to see him in future playing for India as he does seem to be very talented.

: Dinda is surely the one for the future. Well, it's the time for a short break here. We'll see you on the other side of it.

I'll solve your confusion.

Bangladesh were all out in 36 odd overs. So, Indian batting started in a quick time. Now after 12 overs, Umpires felt the need to have a dinner and they decided to have a break.

Or it could be the same storm that hit sharjah ages ago? & hence the break

: Welcome to The Cricket Show after the short break. Sunny, what is your take on Bangladesh's batting?

: To be honest, I'm very disappointed by their batting today. They had a steady start. Tamim Iqbal and Nafees were going along nicely at one moment. But, I feel this side is depending a bit too much on Tamim Iqbal.

: He did bat well today. A bit slow maybe....

: Yes, but he didn't have any choice. No one was able to support him and he was like a lone warrior there. And when you have a person bowling as good as Dinda did, it makes it much more difficult.

: Tamim made a well deserved 41. Here is a graphical representation of how he went about making those runs...

​

: There you can see Sanjay, he did make runs in all the areas. But as no one was willing to help him he couldn't get into playing his natural game. In the start, he looked a bit edgy as well.

: Shakib himself struggling with the bat...

: Yes, he is. That is affecting his captaincy as well, I think. Also, Raqibul Hasan isn't doing very well too. Still, I feel Aftab Ahmed should be brought back.

: Well, it seems as players and umpires are walking to the field. So Sunny, what would be your prediction here; India winning by how many wickets?

: From this situation, they should win easily. Mahi and Raina are good enough to do the job. Indians winning by 6 wickets unless some sort of a miracle happens for Bangladesh.

: What do you readers think? Post your predictions and stand a chance to win 10,000 vcash. That's it for the moment. See you after the match. Enjoy the game!

Now i feel that the Miracle thingy is going to happen out here!!

Tamim Iqbal played well but their was no support from any other player from Bangladesh and as Sunil Gavaskar said Bangladesh are depending on Tamim Iqbal way too much. I would think that India will win easily by 6 wickets,it doesn't seem that any miracle will happen in this match maybe in the upcoming matches we can see a good performance from Bangladeshi side.
