What's new

Pakistan got the Banglawash, lose series 3-0

Not really, you have a nation of a billion people, your cricket board is the richest in the World and we have been playing cricket since 1997. You know what's embarrassing, losing to BD in 2007, especially when we played with amateur kids.
8 years man. There has been 2 world cups since then, and India handed Bangladesh a thrashing in both those world cups with huge wins. You and your "amateur kids" need to grow up some day.
 
Pakistan are shit.

Just won 3 games after 16 years and start losing you bloody mind with a new inexperienced Pakistan Team.... Don;t show your mental level here

Yey, logic doesn't suit you, go watch IPL and demand IPL stats to be counted in International Cricket.
 
Pakistan got thrashed...real bad...may be the cricket gods don't like us anymore lol

Well played and congrats Bangladesh...you can make fun of us as you've earned it. However simultaneously remaining focused and steady in your pursuit is something which ye folks should focus on in terms of taking on teams like India, South Africa, and Australia.

Isam: Teams will take dead rubber seriously








Big picture





Bangladesh are allowed to feel some Schadenfreude when hearing Pakistan ask for more time to develop as a team. It used to be Bangladesh's go-to phrase for years. Ahead of the third ODI, both teams are in uncharted waters: there have been plenty of dead rubbers between these sides but Pakistan were never on the wrong end of one.



In the first two matches, Bangladesh had good starts with the bat and that translated into a smoother time for the middle order. Their lower order hasn't needed to contribute yet. Tamim Iqbal and Mushfiqur Rahim had two century stands, with Tamim making a brace of hundreds. Mushfiqur also continued his rich form, collecting a hundred and a fifty. Soumya Sarkar is promising to build on his starts, but Mahmudullah will want a big innings in the third ODI.

The home team's spinners have also taken grip of the two contests. Shakib Al Hasan and Arafat Sunny did it by varying their pace, while Nasir Hossain was accurate. Mashrafe Mortaza will also rely on Rubel Hossain and Taskin Ahmed to continue giving him breakthroughs. The young pair has outbowled their opposite numbers.

Pakistan's pace attack has disappointed, especially Junaid Khan. He has just one wicket in two games and looked listless. Rahat Ali's hamstring niggle meant Umar Gul could be back after his last playing in December. Saeed Ajmal has also been disappointing but he is feeling his way back into international cricket with his remedied action, while Mohammad Hafeez will be relieved to be given the green-signal by the ICC just before Wednesday's game.

The batting has also failed. Azhar Ali and Sarfraz Ahmed have been poor as openers while Hafeez and Fawad Alam are senior batsmen without runs. Instead it has been Mohammad Rizwan and Saad Nasim, the two newcomers, who have shown glimpses of their talent.

In the spotlight



Tamim Iqbal will have restored most of his lost confidence after scoring two successive hundreds. His approach in this series has been like the Tamim of old, when he freely charged the bowlers. A third big score can be expected.

There was hue and cry to include Sarfraz Ahmed in Pakistan's XI during the World Cup. He repaid the faith back then, but he has been unsuccessful in this series. With the team desperate for runs at the top, there is pressure on him to get a big score.



Team news





If Bangladesh are going for a 3-0 victory, they will not want to change the line-up. However, if they rest one of their senior players, Mominul Haque or Rony Talukdar could get a game.

Bangladesh (probable): 1 Tamim Iqbal, 2 Soumya Sarkar, 3 Mahmudullah, 4 Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), 5 Shakib Al Hasan, 6 Sabbir Rahman, 7 Nasir Hossain, 8 Mashrafe Mortaza (capt), 9 Arafat Sunny, 10 Taskin Ahmed, 11 Rubel Hossain

Pakistan are likely to bring in Umar Gul in place of Rahat Ali. Zulfiqar Babar could come in to add to the spin attack though with Hafeez now allowed to bowl, they could go with Ajmal as the only specialist spinner.

Pakistan (probable): 1 Sarfraz Ahmed (wk), 2 Azhar Ali (capt), 3 Mohammad Hafeez, 4 Haris Sohail, 5 Mohammad Rizwan, 6 Fawad Alam, 7 Saad Nasim, 8 Wahab Riaz, 9 Junaid Khan, 10 Saeed Ajmal, 11 Umar Gul



Pitch and conditions





The pitch is expected to behave similarly as the ones used for the first two games, with the side batting first targeting a 300-plus score. Weather could worsen in the early evening with forecasts showing 88% chance of rain at around 5:00pm.



Stats and trivia







  • After Mashrafe Mortaza in the previous game, it is now Shakib Al Hasan's turn to play his 150th ODI.
  • Bangladesh have won nine ODI series via a whitewash.









Quotes





"We had two near-perfect performances in the first two games. If we continue in this manner, we have a chance to make it 3-0."
Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza

"We have a new team with plenty of youngsters. It is a matter of one good innings and one very good spell can turn everything. We will play hard and positive cricket."Pakistan spin coachMushtaq Ahmed

He has a point. Your countries pop is more than 1.2bn yet your girls footy team draws or struggles to win against BD's football team.
 
You misspelt ICC
Ya still the no ball crying? Bangladesh lost those matches by over a hundred runs. Even if India's inning ended with that wicket, all batsmen got out at 0, Bangladesh would have still lost by a few runs. BTW let me remind you that one decision went in Bangladesh's favor too.
