Two sweep pictures, positioned both facet of the fielder at deep backward sq. leg off Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan, who should nonetheless be seething from that call that went towards him through the Bangladesh innings.

Babar has not typically been in a position to play in full circulate on this World Cup and one would possibly say that the event has been the poorer for it. Full on off and center from Taskim, Babar flicks it fantastically by mid-on to the boundary. 

Misfield off the second final ball of that over. If Bangladesh are critical about defending this complete and never ending beneath the Netherlands on the factors desk, they should do higher than this. That misfield led to simply two runs and never a boundary, fortuitously for them. 

Off the very subsequent ball! Short from Taskin, Rizwan pulls it away into the stands. Nurul stands together with his head bowed down. What a crushing second that’s for Bangladesh early on!

What a second that’s. Rizwan edges Taskin Ahmed who’s bowling the primary over for Bangladesh, regulation catch for wicketkeeper Nurul Hasan, he simply wants to stay his gloves to the precise. Instead he goes for a dive of some kind and drops it. How about that!

Pakistan have to chase down 128 to qualify for the semi-finals. 

Nasum middles this one straight to Mohammad Wasim at deep mid-on. So evidently Bangladesh will not go previous 130 right here. 

Bangladesh get to 126/7 in 19.4 overs. A 4 by Afif off the second ball of the over bowled by Haris Rauf after which one other now off the fourth by Nasum. Some extra of that and Bangladesh would possibly get someplace near 140. 

Afridi misses the huge yorker at tempo, Afif makes use of all of it to squeeze it to the third man boundary.  No five-wicket haul for Afridi however what a spell this has been, could have gotten Pakistan by to the semi-finals. 

First T20I four-wicket haul of his profession for Shaheen Afridi and what a sport to convey it. He has checked out his finest in the present day, one thing that has not occurred all event. It actually has come collectively fairly properly for Pakistan in the present day. 

Taskin Ahmed c Babar Azam b Shaheen Shah Afridi 1 (5), Bangladesh 109/7 in 18.1 overs

Two within the over for Shaheen. Nurul Hasan skies this lofted shot and is caught at level. Bangladesh are unravelling now.  

Nurul Hasan c Mohammad Haris b Shaheen Afridi 0 (3), Bangladesh 107/6 in 16.5 overs

Oh, yorker from hell. Tails away from the precise hander very late and Mosaddek can do nothing to cease that ball from taking the stumps. That is unplayable. 

Hossain b Shaheen Afridi 5 (11), Bangladesh 107/5 in 16.2 overs

A run out probability missed for Pakistan. Mosaddek and Afif run a good second off the final ball of the fifteenth, the throw is on the non-striker’s finish and the batter appears to be in hassle. But Wasim appears nearly distraught and that’s as a result of, because the replays later present, the ball had popped out of his arms and the bails had been dislodged by his arms. 

Knocked him over! Shanto comes down the observe to Iftikhar a bit too early, the bowler pulls again his size and the batter misses it solely. 

Shanto b Iftikhar Ahmed 54 (48), Bangladesh 91/4 in 13.2 overs

It has are available 46 balls, set a pleasant little platform for his crew to work from. Shadab Khan has are available to bowl his final over. 

Wow, what an over that was. No hat-trick for Shadab however Shakib is totally furious and he could have a case right here. Straight on replays appear to point that the ball took an inside edge earlier than going to the pads. Early drama on this match and why not!

Shakib would not need to go away! He is sad with that call to say the least. Big attraction for LBW, the umpire raises his finger very late and Shakib goes for a assessment instantly. The query is whether or not the ball took the bat or not earlier than hitting the pads however the bat is near the bottom and the ball when the spike comes up on the extremely edge. Third umpire then declares that there was no inside edge and after that, nicely Shakib was plumb to the bare eye as nicely. He takes some convincing from the umpire to stroll off, begins doing so after which comes again to have some phrases with the umpire earlier than lastly going off.  

Shakib Al Hasan lbw b Shadab Khan 0 (1), Bangladesh 73/3 in 10.5 overs 

There it’s! Reverse sweep from Sarkar, it goes up within the air and falls to Shan Masood at level. Full and gradual outdoors off did the trick for Shadab. 

Sarkar c Shan Masood b Shadab Khan 20 (17), Bangladesh 73/2 in 10.4 overs 

Steady work right here from Shanto and Sarkar. Shanto has received to 41 runs in 37 balls. One will get the sensation that not less than one in all these two can be trying to shift gears from right here on. Pakistan desperately trying to find a wicket. 

Bangladesh are taking down Shadab right here. Soumya Sarkar slogs onerous in the direction of deep midwicket and that goes to the boundary. Bangladesh have reached 61/1 in 8.2 overs. 

Shadab Khan bowling the seventh, offers some tempo for the seventh ball and Shanto waits for it earlier than enjoying it from nearly behind him. Just will get the bat within the ball’s trajectory and it trickles behind to the boundary. Short third man offers it chase however cannot get there. 

Possible dropped catch off the final ball, though it does seem like the ball could not have carried. Shanto appears to get a double hit on this brief ball from Naseem, Afridi dives ahead at slips however shouldn’t be in a position to maintain on. Bangladesh could have misplaced one wicket nevertheless it has nonetheless been begin from them. 

Oh now that is a shot. Soumya Sarkar picks this one from his hips and pulls it over deep midwicket and into the stands. 

Shanto slashes onerous and beats backward level. Perfect contact on it and this may damage Wasim contemplating there was a dropped catch simply two balls in the past. 

Would have been a wicket off the primary ball for Mohammad Wasim. Shanto hits it to the offside, Shadab goes low to take the catch however cannot fairly maintain on to it. There was quite a lot of energy on that shot. 

Liton hits it straight to backward level. Soft, delicate dismissal, he stands there for a few seconds in full disbelief earlier than dragging himself off the pitch. Liton has a tough slash at a shortish supply from Afridi on the entrance foot and finally ends up discovering Shan Masood. 

Liton c Shan Masood b Shaheen Shah Afridi 10 (8), Bangladesh 21/1 in 3 overs

2nd supply of the third over, Liton expenses down the bottom to Shaheen Afridi of all individuals and pulls the brief ball with disdain. That is the primary most of the match and what a shot it’s. 

A boundary off the fifth ball bowled by Naseem Shah and this time it’s way more managed by Shanto. But then he’s overwhelmed on the within edge by an absolute peach the very subsequent ball. 

Two singles and a streaky boundary from that first over. The Adelaide Oval is slowly selecting up noise and it’s a partisan crowd right here. For now, it seems to be like this match goes to be a humdinger.

Najmul Got away with that one. Looking to work the fourth ball of the over to the onside, it takes a prime edge and flies the opposite technique to the boundary.  

Here we go then, Najmul Hossain Shanto and Liton Das, who had given India an almighty scare of their final match, open for Bangladesh, Shaheen Afridi has the ball in his arms. 

In what might be unhealthy information for Pakistan followers, and all these hoping to see an India vs Pakistan last, groups who’ve gained the toss at this venue haven’t misplaced a single match right here. And that features the Netherlands towards South Africa. Well, nicely, nicely…

They each stroll out, the Adelaide Oval is abuzz now. Both Bangladesh and Pakistan followers can realistically dream with out both crew having to consider the India-shaped asterisk on prime of the results of this match. The Bangladesh nationwide anthem performs out first, adopted by Pakistan’s. 

Babar Azam: Wins all the time offer you confidence. Harris set the momentum then Iftikhar and Shadab completed it off. We are wanting ahead to this match. We have the identical crew.

Shakib Al Hasan: We will bat first. Looks a dry wicket. Put the runs on the board and defend. We know the significance of the sport. We should play nicely. We are all calm. We have three modifications.

Mohammad Rizwan(w), Babar Azam(c), Mohammad Haris, Shan Masood, Iftikhar Ahmed, Mohammad Nawaz, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, Shaheen Afridi

Najmul Hossain Shanto, Soumya Sarkar, Litton Das, Shakib Al Hasan(c), Afif Hossain, Nurul Hasan(w), Mosaddek Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Nasum Ahmed, Ebadot Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman

Bangladesh have gained the toss and chosen to bat first. 

So, it’s confirmed {that a} spot is vacant in Group 1 for the semi-finals. South Africa sit there for now however the winner of this match will go the Proteas on factors. If there’s a no outcome in the present day, which will not occur, Pakistan will qualify as a result of South Africa’s NRR has dipped beneath theirs. 

The Netherlands have defeated South Africa by 13 runs! Absolutely sensible work from the Dutch and South Africa, who gave the impression to be essentially the most snug crew on this group, at the moment are getting ready to getting knocked out. It is confirmed now, Pakistan solely have to beat Bangladesh to undergo, so simple as that.  

Well with what is occurring within the match between South Africa and Netherlands it’s onerous to consider the rest actually. They have misplaced Heinrich Klaasen, presumably their final hope of operating this goal down, and South Africa at the moment are right down to their final three wickets. It is Maharaj and Rabada within the center! Nightmare for the Proteas. Remember, if South Africa lose this and Pakistan beat Bangladesh, the Proteas are out, Pakistan are by. India, in the meantime, qualify routinely if Netherlands win in the present day. Extraordinary, the Netherlands have been sensational on this event. 

This might truly occur, the match between India and Zimbabwe might turn into a lifeless rubber as a result of it’s simply going from unhealthy to worse for South Africa. They are chasing a goal of 159 and at the moment are right down to 113/6. David Miller is one in all two gamers to have fallen within the sixteenth over.

Najmul Hossain Shanto, Litton Das, Shakib Al Hasan(c), Afif Hossain, Yasir Ali, Nurul Hasan(w), Mosaddek Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Hasan Mahmud, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam, Soumya Sarkar, Nasum Ahmed, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Ebadot Hossain

Mohammad Rizwan(w), Babar Azam(c), Mohammad Haris, Shan Masood, Iftikhar Ahmed, Mohammad Nawaz, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, Shaheen Afridi, Asif Ali, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Hasnain, Haider Ali

Now the obvious means for Pakistan gave the impression to be to hope that India lose after they beat Bangladesh. However, South Africa are having a fairly troublesome time chasing down a goal of 159 towards the Netherlands. If they do find yourself dropping this match, Pakistan would possibly simply exchange them on the Group 2 desk in the event that they beat Bangladesh and undergo witho

We are into the ultimate chapter of Pakistan’s mission unattainable, nicely mission unbelievable to be extra exact however that does not have the identical ring to it, does it? Pakistan must beat Bangladesh in the present day, ideally by a giant margin, after which hope that Zimbabwe stun event favourites India. If Pakistan win by an absurdly big margin, it might trigger India some headache about having to win in a particular method to ensure their web run price stays above that of their arch-rivals’. There is cricket and arithmetic on provide in the present day and a spot within the semi-finals at stake. Let’s dip into it.
