Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]
Bangladesh have given a decent target despite the poor batting performance of the middle order. I was thinking that they won't be able to score 200 runs. Surprisingly Jaker Ali and Nasum Ahmed played a good innings, which helped Bangladesh to score above 250 runs. The pitch is good for spin bowlers. Bangladesh will be able to win the match if Nasum, Miraz and Mustafizur can keep pressure on Afghanistan batsmen. I'm not expecting much from the other two fast bowlers. The odds is in favour of Bangladesh now.
Pitch condition and Bangladeshi bowling having no depth to stop Afghanistan from chasing this target, but Bookies are trying to have some trap in this game with the odds like these because as we have in last game things are clearly favourable for the Afghanistan to win this match but still we have good juicy odds which worth to give a try because we all know Afghanistan have good batting with their few all-rounders can bring good strength for them.But, here if we have early breakthrough for the Bangladesh like we have in first ODI of this series then surely we can expect some twist because we all know Taskin Ahmad and Mustafizur Rahman have good experience which can give them success but surely first 15 overs are going to be important in this game for result because if we have breakthrough then surely we will be having advantage for Bangladesh.
