PLAYER OF THE MATCH
Harsha Bhogle: Agony for Afghanistan again. Winning close matches is part of the learning curve. Now, a knockout between Pakistan and Bangladesh looms
Harsha Bhogle: Agony for Afghanistan again. Winning close matches is part of the learning curve. Now, a knockout between Pakistan and Bangladesh looms
Yagnesh Doshi: "I am having palpitations with every passing ball. This match is way more interesting than Ind vs Pak !"
Sumit Harchandani: "Fizz will not complete his full quota of 10 overs and that is bad captaincy!"---- I guess, Mortaza miscalculated.
Eswar: "Anything more than 12 runs will be a tough task for Afghanistan in the last over."
Sid: Why not Rashid here?? Why hold him back?
Prateek: While other teams might be growing linearly, Afghanistan is growing exponentially.
Goutham: This is going to be another nail-biting thriller. If Afghanistan pulls this off they will have more confidence in their upcoming match
Eswar: A settled partnership and time for AFG to change gears, may be it's time for Rashid to come up the order today
Nikhil: Shahidi slowly becoming Afghanistan's #KOHLI #WILLIAMSON #SMITH #ROOT everything. Such a form he is in. Great temperament shown by him in this series.
Gangadhar: #BanvsAfg match is much more interesting than #IndvsPak
Pulkit Bansal: Till 2017, it was only Rashid and Nabi for Afghanistan. But in 2018, we have seen Afghanistan playing as a team and especially their batsman have shown some maturity.
Balaviknesh: Bring on your A game Mohammad Shahzad. Been waiting to see a big one for a long time.
Shamir: Malik for Pakistan, Mahmudullah for Bangladesh. Experience speaks.
Sehraj: A more agile 'keeper might have had the batsman. A sentence I read almost in all Afghanistan matches. Shahzad and Afghanistan management need to work on his fitness.
Tanmay: Mahmudullah u beauty, performs in multi-team tournaments specially when Bangladesh is in trouble, whether it is WC2015, CT2017 and now Asia Cup. Some serious talent and temperament.
Apurbo Talukder (@ApurboTalukder1): #CBHaveYourSay Imrul needs to step on the gas now as he is striking at 60 now
Aman Agarwal (@its_Aman969): We've seen the Afghanistan batsmen being brilliant while setting up a score; but it's gonna be a litmus test for them today to prove that they can be equally good while being clearly out of their comfort zone, having to chase a decent target. #CBHaveYourSay
Mohammad Aamir Malik: Afghanistan are missing a fast bowler in the middle overs
Anmol: Bangladesh recovering well here, anything over 240 won't be easy to chase
Syed: Oh Rashid Khan the sight of whom has led Bangladesh to commit hara-kiri!!! Whatta player!!
Imran: Absolute chaos from Bangladesh after seeing Rashid come into the attack
Keval: @Ashmal The reason I think Afghanistan introduce Rashid Khan late is to keep some of his overs at the death where he does bowl well. It works most of the times for them.
Ashmal Khot: Afghanistan make a mistake by introducing Rashid Khan late. When the opposition is 2 wickets down you need to go to your best bowler. Why give a chance for Rahim to settle down? They did the same mistake against Pakistan by letting Babar Azam settle
Mehedi: "Why Shanto came to open when there is a senior opener like Imrul in the team?"---- He should have opened but Bangladesh wanted an experience player to tackle Rashid Khan in the lower-middle order.
Ashutosh: "Anything above 230 will be difficult for Afghanistan to chase."
Pankaj: "Men in Blue Vs Men in Green both in Dubai & Abu Dhabi."
