Bangladesh staring at another massive defeat

Bangladesh are looking at another embarrassing Test defeat, as West Indies have completely dominated the visitors in the second Test of the 2 match Test series. After the end of play of day 3, Bangladesh are at a sorry state of 132/6, 42 runs behind and have only 4 wickets in hand.<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/2898072143559068233231888530962360280924475n-27_06_2022.jpg">The day started brightly for the Tigers, as Miraz and Khaled took out Joshua Da Silva and Joseph respectively. Centurion Kyle Mayers, alongside Kemar Roach looked to build West Indies' lead even further.Lunch was taken early after the first bout of rain. Khaled finally managed to dismiss Mayers for a well played 146. With the last recognized batter out, Bangladesh finally saw a way through. West Indies were finally all out for 408, with a mammoth lead of 174. Khaled Ahmed was the pick of the bowlers for the Tigers, as he picked his maiden five wicket haul.Bangladesh yet again suffered due to their poor batting. Tamim Iqbal nicked in the second over, chasing a wide delivery. This gave Roach his 250th Test wicket. A few boundaries later, Mahmudul Hasan Joy also perished. Anamul Haque was trapped in the front by Roach just before rain came in for the second time.&nbsp;Litton Das and Najmul Hossain Shanto had the responsibility to take Bangladesh out of this deep hole. However, Litton was removed after a brief resistance, as Seales pinned him for a lbw. Shanto, who was looking to weather the storm of Windies pacer, finally gave in at 42. Skipper Shakib lost his wicket due to lack of footwork, leaving his side in a bigger hole.Wicketkeeper Nurul Hasan and Mehidy Hasan Miraz stuck around till rain finally ended the play. West Indies are comfortably seating on top of this Test, and is in course of a series victory.

Mayers' century give West Indies massive advantage against Bangladesh

West Indies have finished Day 2 of the second Test in the two match series against Bangladesh with a lead of 106 runs. Kyle Mayers was the star of the show, as he went on to score a century and took the game further away from the visitors.<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/2890293498329250810231354334995750810654488n-25_06_2022.jpg">The day started with openers Brathwaite and Campbell taking off from where they left off. The duo stitched a century stand, when Shoriful Islam gave Bangladesh their first breakthrough. Shoriful nicked off Campbell for 45.&nbsp;His partner Brathwaite did complete his fifty and was reducing the deficit alongside Reifer. However, Mehidy Hasan Miraz gave Bangladesh another much needed breakthrough as he removed the captain Brathwaite for 51. Khaled Ahmed produced a double wicket over, taking out Reifer and Bonner. West Indies were 132/4 and Bangladesh were back into the game.After lunch, it was all West Indies. The second session produced nothing for the Tigers, and Mayers started picking up runs at a fast rate, with Blackwood providing the perfect support.Miraz did managed to remove Blackwood early in the third session, but Bangladesh had no answer to Mayers' attacking cricket. He went on score his second century of his career at a fast rate. Wicketkeeper Joshua de Silva is providing support from the other end, giving Bangladesh no way through to cause further damage.West Indies ended today's play with 340/5, and a lead of 106 runs, leaving Bangladesh to do a lot in order to stand a shot to come back into the contest.

Bangladesh captain satisfies with bowlers' performance 

Bangladesh suffered a miserable
7-wicket defeat in the recently-concluded Antigua Test against West Indies. Due
to the failure of the batting unit, Bangladesh could not put up any competition
in the match. However, Bangladesh bowlers bowled very well in the match.
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/bowlers-vs-wi-test-20_06_2022.jpg">Shakib Al Hasan, however, did not
let bowlers’ success remain hidden. In a formal conversation during the award
ceremony, Shakib said that he was satisfied and happy with the performance of
the bowling unit.
Shakib said, “Happy with the way
the bowlers performed. All our bowlers bowled their hearts out. Batting let us
down and hopefully we come back well in the next game.”
Mustafizur Rahman, Ebadot Hossain’s
tight bowling, Mehidy Hasan Miraz’s 4 wickets; Khaled Ahmed’s outstanding
bowling at the beginning of the West Indies second innings – there were some
significant performances in bowling to remember and get positive sights for the
next Test. 
“That one session killed the game
for us. Happy with the way the bowlers performed. (Batting failures) Not
acceptable, we have been doing that quite regularly in the Tests. Batsmen need
to find ways to score runs. That's a simple equation that we need to work on.
(On the partnership with Nurul) A lot to be gained from that, Nurul was under
pressure, the way he applied himself showed a lot of character. Some of the other
batters can take the same approach and play good cricket in the next game,”
Shakib added.

'Taskin has shown how a pace bowler can grow or move forward'

Bangladesh were totally a spin-dependent
team in the past. That spin reliance is slowly diminishing, as the pacers are
emerging to watch. Mustafizur Rahman has been there for a long time. Now Shoriful
Islam, Ebadot Hossain, Khaled Ahmed are ruling the national team. Shohidul Islam,
young cricketer like Rejaur Rahman Raja are in the pipeline. 
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/musta-taskin-20_06_2022.jpg">All in all, it can be said that
the fast bowlers’ revolution has been started in Bangladesh cricket. And Shakib
is giving credit to star fast bowler Taskin Ahmed for this majestic rise of
fast bowlers in Bangladesh which is known as the paradise of spinners.
Taskin has worked hard on himself
while out of the national team. He also got the result. The 27-year-old pacer
is now the main pacer of the team in all three formats. Shakib thinks that
Taskin has not only found his own way, he has also shown the way to other fast
bowlers.
Praising the pacers of the
Bangladesh team, Shakib said, <blockquote>“The pace bowlers have been bowling well for the
last many days. There is a lot of effort between them, this is what is most
needed. They believe they can bring a lot of changes. They try, plan a lot.
They are trying to do something by planning together, which is why they are
actually being so successful.”</blockquote>
Shakib gave the main credit for
the success of the pacers to Taskin. In his words, “A big credit goes to
Taskin. In two or three years, Taskin has shown how a pace bowler can grow or
move forward and improve grammatically. I think many people follow him. That's
a big reason why our pace bowlers are doing so well.”
“Maybe no one has worked so hard
before, no one has bowled with the same pace in 30-40 overs continuously match
after match. It hasn't really happened much before, until Taskin did. To give
Taskin a lot of credit, I think he has a big role to play in changing that thinking.”

Batting a major concern for Bangladesh as Windies go 1-0 up

West Indies made light work of the remaining 35 runs as they take one step closer to a series victory. The home side brushed aside the Tigers as they won by 7 wickets.<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/283364678714056006498710148175995038848368n-19_06_2022.jpg">Starting the day with only 35 needed to win, West Indies stepped on the accelerator from the get go. The duo of Blackwood and Campbell, especially the latter took on the Bangladeshi bowlers, as they completed the chase within 26 minutes of the fourth day.Bangladesh were given a ray of hope when Khaled Ahmed shined with the ball in hand in the final hours of Day 3. But Campbell and Blackwood did well to ensure the visitors were not given any further chances to come back into the contest. Campbell also completed his half century.Bangladesh currently are struggling with major batting issues, which was evident in both of their innings. With Shakib Al Hasan and Nurul Hasan as exception, every batter struggled to put on runs.

West Indies on top despite efforts from Shakib, Nurul and Khaled

The 3rd day of the 1st Test between West Indies and Bangladesh have seen many ups and downs. Captain Shakib Al Hasan, wicketkeeper Nurul Hasan and Khaled Ahmed have shown incredible fightback, but even after all of that, the home side is more than likely to come off with a win.<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/2855642984017012619786146953502639455687751n-18_06_2022.jpg">The day started off with the same old batting display of Bangladesh, losing wickets in clusters. Najmul Hossain Shanto was the first one to go, followed by Mominul Haque. Litton Das, did not manage to make an impact either, and when Mahmudul Hasan Joy was dismissed for 42, the Tigers were staring at an innings defeat.The responsibility of saving Bangladesh from embarrassment was yet again in the hands of Shakib. But this time, he found a proper support from Nurul. The duo cut the deficit and started to grow the visitor's lead. A partnership of 123 runs, gave Bangladesh their first ray of hope. Both the batters completed their fifties.Shakib, who was struggling with a back injury, finally fell prey to Kemar Roach for 63. Nurul soon perished for 64, and Bangladesh's hopes to get a decent lead fell apart. Bangladesh finished their 2nd innings with a total of 245 and a lead of 84. Roach picked up 5 wickets.Defending a mere total of 85, Bangladesh needed a miracle. That spark was provided by pacer Khaled Ahmed, who took 3 quick wickets to reduce West Indies to 9/3. The match was truly on at this stage. However, John Campbell and Jermaine Blackwood kept their cool and ensured that Bangladesh did not find another way of coming back.The hosts finished with 49/3 on board, needing 35 runs to go 1-0 up in the series.

Bangladesh still hopeful of a win

Despite a horrendous batting display in the 1st innings by Bangladesh, captain Shakib Al Hasan was still optimistic about getting back into the contest if they could stop the Caribbeans under 250. Even if West Indies crossed the 250 mark, Bangladesh restricted them to 265.<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/28566879828818021321253971060753407819683542n-18_06_2022.jpg">Khaled Ahmed was happy with his sides' bowling display in the 2nd Day of the first Test match. He hopes for Bangladesh to bat well in a wicket which is improving.Khaled quotes, "The wicket is a very good wicket. There is not much help for the bowlers. But our batsmen will play well InshaAllah.&nbsp;"Satisfied with their 2nd Day's performance, Bangladesh are still eyeing a victory. They hope to take the contest till Day 5 and emerge victorious.Khaled adds, "We will play to win inshaAllah. We will try to stop them to whatever run our batsmen give us. Hopefully we can take the match to the final day."

Ebadot could have walked away with four or five wickets: Donald

Ebadot Hossain Chowdhury and
Khaled Ahmed are managing Bangladesh's pace department in the Dhaka Test as the
other two main pacers- Shoriful Islam and Taskin Ahmed have been out from the
team due to injury.
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/ebadot-hossain-25_05_2022.jpg">However, Bangladesh pace bowling
coach Allan Donald acknowledged that the absence of two key pacers was a shock
to the team. But at the same time, it is an opportunity for backup pacers like
Khaled, Ebadot, etc. The Proteas praised Ebadot's bowling especially. 
Donald said, “Shoriful,
unfortunately, fractured his finger. Taskin is a great miss. He is a lovely
kid. He has a serious-sized engine in him. You just know he will run through a
wall for you. But sometimes someone missing a game is another one’s
opportunity. Ebadot and Khaled have another opportunity to learn, and I want
people to be vigilant and patient with their process. Khaled is learning all
the time.”
Donald expressed satisfaction
with Ebadot’s controlled bowling. And at the same time Khaled will sharpen
himself by learning more, he hopes.
He added, “Ebadot was outstanding
today. You know when you see someone in the warm-up, and you know something
about him will click today. Scoreboard doesn’t reflect the way he bowled today.
He could have walked away with four or five wickets. That’s what the spell was
worth. Khaled hasn’t really got it quite right, but tomorrow is a massive day.
We need some early poles in the morning. The pitch too gives us a bit to work
with every morning.”

Live: Bangladesh bat first; Ebadot, Mosaddek in playing XI

Bangladesh have won the toss and will
bat first in the last and final Test against visiting Sri Lanka at Sher-e-Bangla
National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur.
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/tamim-joy-23_05_2022.jpg">In the first Test in Chattogram,
both teams’ bowling line-up couldn’t do much on a flat surface which resulted
in a draw. So both the teams will look forward to securing a result on an
eventful Mirpur surface and take some valuable ICC World Test Championship points.
Bangladesh have never won a Test match
against Sri Lanka on home soil, so they will look to create history while Sri
Lanka have come to Bangladesh with their new head coach Chris Silverwood amidst
lots of internal problems and concern in their country. It is Silverwood’s
first assignment after being appointed as the coach. 
Bangladesh make two forced
changes in the squad as spinner Nayeem Hasan ruled lout of a finger injury and
pacer Shoriful Islam dropped out from the XI due to fractured hand. Spin
all-rounder Mosaddek Hossain and pacer Ebadot Hossain take their place
accordingly in the XI. So, again the hosts opt-out for two pacers- Ebadot and
Khaled Ahmed alongside three spinners in Mosaddek, Taijul Islam, and Shakib Al
Hasan.
On the other hand, Sri Lanka also
make two changes in their squad. Kasun Rajitha replaces Vishwa Fernando, who had
to opt out of the field in the middle of the first Test because of a concussion
and young spinner Praveen Jayawickrama has been included in the squad in
replace of experienced Lasith Embuldeniya. Asitha Fernando is the other pacer
alongside Rajitha and Ramesh Mendis, Dhananjaya de Silva are the other two
spinners alongside Jayawickrama. 
Playing XI:
Bangladesh: Tamim Iqbal, Mahmudul
Hasan Joy, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mominul Haque (c), Mushfiqur Rahim, Liton Das
(wk), Shakib Al Hasan, Mosaddek Hossain, Taijul Islam, Ebadot Hossain, Khaled Ahmed
Sri Lanka: Dimuth Karunaratne (c),
Oshada Fernando, Kusal Mendis, Angelo Mathews, Dhananjaya de Silva, Dinesh Chandimal,
Niroshan Dickwella (wk), Ramesh Mendis, Praveen Jayawickrama, Kasun Rajitha, Asitha
Fernando

Live: Sri Lanka elect to bat first, Shakib plays for Bangladesh 

Sri Lanka have won the toss and
will bat first in the first Test against hosts Bangladesh at Zahur Ahmed
Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram. 
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/bd-vs-sl-first-test-15_05_2022.jpg">Bangladesh have never won a Test
match against Sri Lanka on home soil, so they will look to create history after
such a dismal performance against South Africa in their recent away Test series
where they lost the two-match Test series by 2-0.
While Sri Lanka have come to Bangladesh
with their new head coach Chris Silverwood amidst lots of internal problems and
concern in their country. It is Silverwood’s first assignment after being
appointed as the coach. 
Bangladesh are playing without one
of the two key players- Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Taskin Ahmed as they’re out due
to injury. There was a concern about Shakib Al Hasan but he’s playing after
being declared fit the day before the match. Alongside him, Taijul Islam and
Nayeem Hasan are the other two spinners. The hosts opt-out for two pacers also-
Shoriful Islam and Khaled Ahmed. 
On the other hand, it is Sri
Lanka’s first Test after their main pacer Suranga Lakmal had retired from the
longest format of the cricket. Vishwa Fernando and Asitha Fernado are the two
pacers in the team. Sri Lanka also take two spinners Ramesh Mendis and Lasith
Embuldeniya alongside the part-time spinner Dhananjaya de Silva. 
Playing XI:
Bangladesh: Tamim Iqbal,
Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mominul Haque (c), Mushfiqur Rahim,
Liton Das (wk), Shakib Al Hasan, Nayeem Hasan, Taijul Islam, Shoriful Islam, Khaled
Ahmed
Sri Lanka: Dimuth Karunaratne

Fernando, Vishwa Fernando

Bangladesh looking for first Test win against the Lankans on home soil 

The first match of the two-match
Test series between host Bangladesh and visiting Sri Lanka starts on Sunday
(May 15). The match will start in Chattogram at 10 am Bangladesh time.
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/bd-vs-sl-test-series-2022-14_05_2022.jpg">The venue of this match is Zahur
Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium. Bangladesh have never beaten Sri Lanka in Tests on
home soil. For the first time, the Tigers are desperate to win with the goal of
series victory at the home venue.
However, the Sri Lankans are also
looking for victory to bring relief to the troubled country on various issues. This
will be Chris Silverwood’s first assignment as a head coach of Sri Lankan team.
Though Chattogram's sporting
wicket does not provide many facilities for the bowlers, both the teams are
confident of getting results.
Bangladesh have a strong chance
to play with two pacers and two spinners in this match. In that case, Nayeem
Hasan or Taijul Islam can be seen in charge of the spin department along with
Shakib Al Hasan. Two fast bowlers Ebadot Hossain and Khaled Ahmed are in
contention to play the match. Besides, there is a strong possibility that
Mosaddek Hossain will get a chance in the XI. But they will miss the service of
Taskin Ahmed and Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who are out due to injury. 
Sri Lanka will field two
spinners- Lasith Embuldeniya and Praveen Jayawickrama alongside left-arm pacer Vishwa
Fernando and the other slot of the pacer is a tie between Kasun Rajitha and Asitha
Fernando. 
Probable XI: 
Bangladesh: Tamim Iqbal, Mahmudul
Hasan Joy, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mominul Haque (c), Mushfiqur Rahim, Liton Das
(wk), Shakib Al Hasan, Mosaddek Hossain, Nayeem Hasan/Taijul Islam, Khaled
Ahmed, Ebadot Hossain
Sri Lanka: Dimuth
Karunaratne (c), Oshada Fernando, Kusal Mendis, Angelo Mathews, Dhananjaya de
Silva, Dinesh Chandimal, Niroshan Dickwella (wk), Lasith Embuldeniya, Kasun
Rajitha/Asitha Fernando, Praveen Jayawickrama, Vishwa Fernando

Saifuddin at practice session, six players rested before first Sri Lanka Test

The Bangladesh cricketers have
been preparing for the Test at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram.
Limited overs all-rounder Mohammad Saifuddin has been seen there.
<img src="https://api.bdcrictime.com/saifuddin-14_05_2022.jpg">The first of a two-match Test
series between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka starts tomorrow. Naturally, the team is
supposed to have practice today. The rest of the players are expected to be in
good spirits as Shakib Al Hasan has joined the team after being Covid negative.
Saifuddin came as a surprise in
the practice of Tigers. The pace all-rounder has been out of the national team
for a long 10 months. Chief selector Minhajul Abedin Nannu has said that the
squad for the upcoming tour of the West Indies will be announced soon.
The tour includes ODI and T20
series. Saifuddin also did well in Dhaka Premier League (DPL) with bat and
ball. So, he’ll get a chance on the West Indies tour maybe. That is why Saifuddin
has joined the practice with the Test team.
He has been called up to practice
with the Test team so that there is no lack of preparation, even if he is
included in the West Indies squad for the tour.
On the other hand, Shakib has
batted in practice. Saifuddin bowled him in the net. Six cricketers have been
rested even though everyone on the team was supposed to practice a day before
the main fight. They are- Tamim Iqbal, Liton Das, Shoriful Islam, Ebadot
Hossain, Khaled Ahmed, and Yasir Ali.
It has been decided to rest these
six cricketers as there was optional practice on the day before the match.
