Tri-Series Match 3: Bangladesh v Canada

Re: Tri-Series Match 3: Bangladesh v Canada

Billcliff is bowled!

He's out for 93!
 
Re: Tri-Series Match 3: Bangladesh v Canada

195-4 after 42, but with Samad retired hurt, Canada's position doesn't look so great anymore.
 
Re: Tri-Series Match 3: Bangladesh v Canada

200-4 after 43 overs.
Run rate going up.



Big 6 from Mulla to start the next over!
206-4 after 43.1
 
Re: Tri-Series Match 3: Bangladesh v Canada

222-4 after 45

They need 57 from 5 overs.
 
Re: Tri-Series Match 3: Bangladesh v Canada

231-4 after 46


They need a dozen per over.
 
Re: Tri-Series Match 3: Bangladesh v Canada

239-5 after 47 overs

40 needed from 3 overs.

Mortaza, Razzak, and Saqibul each have an over left, and it's going to be tough for the Canadians to pick up the required runs aginst these guys.

Re: Tri-Series Match 3: Bangladesh v Canada

Only 2 overs to go!

-Mulla hits a big 4 to start the over!!
-Mulla runs a very tight 2 runs. The stumps were broken, but they were barely in.
-Mulla hits a single, tries to steal a second, and gets run out!

257-6 after 48.3
 
Re: Tri-Series Match 3: Bangladesh v Canada

Smart thinking from Bangladesh to throw it to Mulla's end to eliminate him.

That hurts, because Mulla was the big threat left for Canada.
 
Re: Tri-Series Match 3: Bangladesh v Canada

George Codrington lasts only 2 balls.
257-7


Bangladesh is going to pick up the win here, but they were sure worried for a while.
 
Re: Tri-Series Match 3: Bangladesh v Canada

Samad is back out batting.

Canada needs 21 from the final over.
 
Re: Tri-Series Match 3: Bangladesh v Canada

Samad hits a boundary, but too little too late.
They need 16 from 3 balls.
 
Re: Tri-Series Match 3: Bangladesh v Canada

Match over.
Canada 265-7

Bangladesh win by 13 runs.
 
Re: Tri-Series Match 3: Bangladesh v Canada

Man of the match is obvious:
Saqibul scored 134 not out, and took an economical 2-36 bowling.
 
Re: Tri-Series Match 3: Bangladesh v Canada

so what do you think about canada after this result? Wilbix, do it provide some hope or reaching the second round? :)
 
Re: Tri-Series Match 3: Bangladesh v Canada

Well, this is one of those weird ones.... looking long term, you have to be happy with where the team is. After losing 2 ODIs each at home to Kenya and Bermuda last summer (and not being close in 3 of the 4), coming this close to beating a test team is great.

That being said, it's a tough loss to take given the platform set by Billcliff and Barnett. It's obviously very unlikely for Canada (or Kenya, for that matter) to make it to the super eights, but you never know. Both those teams are good enough that IF everything goes well, and you get a couple of bounces, anything is possible. Looking forward to it for sure!
