20 OVER MATCH REPORT
***************************************************
Heres the second 10 before work.
With the introduction of Gillespie combining with Lee, Ponting must have wondered what he hda done wrong. Still persisting with the combination may be a mistake Australia will later regret.
Will Gilchrest to date have missed 3 Caught Behind opportunities with the ball seemingly going straight through his hand or in one instance over his head, with out so much as an attempt, the second 10 overs has breathed hope into Bangaldesh.
As Gillespie bowled a very poor line Khaled Mashmud unleashed, hitting not only fours but 2 sixs before his untimely dismissal for 45 of only 23 balls. Four fours and 2 sixs to boot.
With a 99 run second 10 Bangaldesh satnd at
7/160 with a run rate required now below 6 and an attainable 5.47.
Without wickets in hand it will still be a task but will the bowling of Gillespie and the failing line of Lee hope is still there.
Mashrafe and Rafique are living it up with confidence building and a strange game at hand.
Bangladesh 7/160 of 20 Overs.
Mashmud 45(23)
Mushrafe 30(27) four fours
Rafique 30(22) three sixs
