good work mate nice pres. keep it up

 

[aussie1st]

Should be a real close game as these total usually are. If Bangladesh get off to a flyer that could be the game though.

 

[m_vaughan]

Not a very difficult target that but the Kiwiz are a good bowling and fielding side and are capable of defending it.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

C'mon Bangla!! WHOOOO!!! Just face off the new ball, and then score freely. Target Vettori, he won't be so effective on this wicket. Maybe send Aftab up the order for a quick-fire 30-40 runs.

Delay In Start of Bangla's Innings!
( Thick Smog envelopes the ground affecting the Visibilty )​

In the innings break, there was a problem due to the formation of the heavy smog that is affecting the visibilty in the stadium. Both the umpires are out in the field and decided to the delay the start for some minutes till the things get sorted out.Well, this is a problem expected often in Mohali day/night games. But there is no confirmation about the overs going to be reduced.

Another important factor thats going to play a major role is Dew factor in this second innings. This dew factor is dangerous for both the teams though the team batting second might get a slight advantage of it. Generally,in day-night matches the team batting second has a great advantage if dew starts falling. The ball becomes wet every times it gets exposure to the outfield. Firm grip is not possible for the bowlers, adversly affecting line, length and swing/spin and the ball rather skids off the pitch making it easy for the batsmen to play strokes with ball coming on to the bat.

On the other hand batsmen have only one disadvantage i.e. heavier and slower outfield resulting in a fewer along-the-ground boundaries. All the fans in the stadium are eagerly waiting for the start of this innings and its expected that there is going to be a strong battle for both the teams.

Batsmen need to be watchful and bowlers need to utilise the new ball as the old ball might produce no assistance due to dew factor. So the play wud be resuming soon after the things get sorted out... Stay Tuned!



Bangladesh :- 0/0(0)
S.Nafees : 0*(0)
J.Omar : 0*(0)

Bond Strikes for Kiwis!
( Match Starts & Nafees departs early )​

Well, after some delay, the conditions looked alright for the start. The umpires had some discussion and decided not to reduce the overs but it wud be compensated in drinks break time. Both the umpires called the players to the field. Kiwis came with huge pressure on their shoulders to defend the low score which was followed by Bangladesh openers, Nafees & Omar. After everything was set ready, the umpires asked to proceed and Bond was on his way to deliver his first ball and there was a huge roar from the crowd.

Nafees Dismissed by Bond!

Bond had a great first over. The new ball was shared by Franklin & Bond. The new ball was moving a lot that increased the difficulty for the batsmen. Bond striked in his very second over with the important wicket of Nafees!

Bond bowled a quick delivery that moved marginally into the batsmen. Nafees, in attempting for a big one, was decieved completely. The ball missed the bat and was travelling towards the stumps and striking the middle one. Nafees was clean bowled and Bond started running towards Fleming and keeper and the entire Kiwis team celebrated this wicket.

Nafees was shocked to miss the delivery and also, it was an unnecessary attempt of going over Bond. Nafees made his way towards the dressing room and Bashar replaced Nafees at the crease.

Also, Franklin was stopped from bowling after his first over by Fleming for no reason. Mills was brought in to operate with Bond. Mills also had a great start to his spell. All the three bowlers have started well but the testing time comes only when the ball looses its shine.

Well, just 5 overs ended. Bangladesh lost their important wicket of Nafees who performed well in previous two games. The pressure is on both sides though. For Bangladesh, all they need is to be watchful in first fifteen overs. While Kiwis wud be looking for some quick wickets before the ball looses its shine & struggle in dew. Still, a lot of works to do for both the teams.


Bangladesh :- 12/1(5)
H.Bashar : 4*(11)
J.Omar : 5*(10)

S.Nafees : 1(9) Dismissed by Bond.
Required Run Rate : 4.86 R/Over!

Well New Zealand started firing late in the innings more so they if its reduced to 40 overs they might have a low total New Zealand

EDIT: i must missed Surens post before mine, so ignore this

the overs are not reduced as its only few minutes delay that is compensated in drinks break time

Maybe send Aftab up the order for a quick-fire 30-40 runs.

sorry Zorax, its not possible i guess to alter the CPU team lineup in this stage of the game.

If i wud have controlled Bangla, definitely wud have brought Saleh at no3 in this situation with the early wicket of Nafees

Lets see how this game progresses... Nafees gone... lets see!

:happy Also Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments and views :happy
