Star Online Report

End of 5 overs

India batsmen were quick to pounce on the width on offer from Mustafizur Rahman and have captialized to the fullest. Sikkhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma have both looked solid.

Bangladesh will need some wickets to put any kind of pressure on India after a solid start. India reach 31 for nos loss after 5 overs.

1.3 overs, Ind 10/0 - Two back to back boundaries from Dhawan off the bowling of Mustafiz. Width on offer and batsman takes full advantage.

1over, Ind 2/0 - A good start from Mashrafe Mortaza. Bowling a good line and length as India start their innings. Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma are a formidable opening pair and would look to start India off well

Sorry to @waz and other Moderators. I did not know the rules. I will be careful next time. Thanks.

Enjoy the thrashing.

This is what happens when ridiculous english weather gets a 5th rate team to semi finals.....low quality match.

Better to have more reserve days so we get better cricket in semi finals and finals.

How many years has it been for BD in international matches ?

You'll be facing a lower ranked team than BD in the finals tho.

Mostly because they get no real home series. Ask any non BD cricket fan which team they think is better even today....it will be quite one sided in Pakistan's favour (though yes some of it is memories carried over from before).

Not taking anything away form BD improvement as a team over the years, but they are still underperforming quite badly overall. Esp if something not going their way even quite early, they just resign to defeat....only Mortaza I have seen keeps fighting no matter what.....need the whole team or at least half of it to do the same.

We have got all the talent and skills, but it's the pressure of big matches that we succumb to. Unless we learn to handle this pressure, we won't be able to perform in big tournaments. A huge opportunity lost today!

 

[Crixus]

We expected some great fight from Bangladesh

Won by 9 wickets.
