Khota Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 BD is a definite possibility. BD vs India BD vs Pak Pak vs India Link to comment
Zero_Unit Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 BD yes, AFG no. Fragile batting ViruDilSeKhelo 1 Link to comment
zen Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 AFG appears to be peaking Link to comment
The Dark Horse Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Afg's bowling is perfect for these conditions..good call OP.. zen and Switchblade 2 Link to comment
zen Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 My ranking of performances in the grp games: 1. AFG - punched above their weight 2. Ind - mixed bag, salvaged by the bowling performance vs Pak 3. BD - mixed bag, salvaged by Nagin’s superb 100 vs SL 4. Pak - “P” for poor Link to comment
zen Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 Areas of concern: 1. AFG: Handling pressure when chasing targets 2. Ind: Middle order. 50/3 kind of situation w/ top order gone, it could mean trouble, esp w/ Pandya out of the tourney 3. BD: Key players will need to step up. As if they fail, BD performs like an associate team 4. Pak: Lack 1-2 star dependable batsmen so batting as a group needs to improve Anyways, new stage, new game! ViruDilSeKhelo 1 Link to comment
Shunya Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 They can even win it. Link to comment

Goal would be to get into final, where anything can happen esp if they bat first and put up a good total .... With so many games being played, pitches could get difficult to bat too Link to comment
Laaloo Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Youre onto something here. If they can get past Sharma and dhawan, our non existent has-been middle order is ripe for taking. The Dark Horse 1 Link to comment
zen Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 Asia Cup has been won by Ind, Pak and SL. This time I would not mind having a brand new champion Though both AFG and BD would be playing back-to-back games tomm vs Pak and Ind respectively Link to comment
Tigers Fan Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) BD has no chance with Tamim out. AFG has a great attack, but batting isn't good enough. But in current form, I think they're the second-best team. It'll be doubly embarrassing if India doesn't win this tomorrow as well as the tournament after cheating, but it'll be relatively easy.

Lannister Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Bang'LOL'desh has no chance especially with Tamim out. Pak vs Afghanistan will be interesting. Switchblade and Frustrated 2 Link to comment

Lol.. Why you guys always keep crying? Don't you have little bit of shame? We dont need to cheat to defeat 3rd grade perpetual minnows like Bangladesh Frustrated, Switchblade and Mosher 1 1 1 Link to comment
Frustrated Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Someone, please create the threads for today' s matches soon. Cant wait to watch both of them simultaneously by switching channels every minute. India vs Toyger & Pak Vs Afghan. Who says Asia Cup is boring. Link to comment

BD can still do well! Don’t lose hope if by cheating, are you referring to the scheduling? Note it is not done by Ind. And apart from Pak, other teams have had to play back-to-back games Link to comment

We dont need to cheat to defeat 3rd grade perpetual minnows like Bangladesh I was talking about an isolated case - this tournament - not all the cheating in the past. Even Indian govt thinks BCCI are cheats. Who are you kidding? First time I've heard of rules being changed in the middle of a competition and A1/A2 or B1/B2 being arbitrarily determined before the completion of the group stages in any sport. And although I saw bad scheduling in sports before, two games in two days in that heat + weird hotel and match locations + major preferential treatment for the "hosts" might be the worst. But I wasn't here to talk about that. AFG's attack isn't just Rashid. Mujeeb is amazing too. They might trouble you, but they aren't good enough in batting. For BD to perform big, all four of Tamim, Mushy, Shakib, and Mash are needed. Link to comment
