The Dhaka Times Desk Today, Bangladesh is very much independent against Hong Kong, a relatively weak opponent. Earlier, Bangladesh has almost confirmed the 'Super Ten' by easily defeating Afghanistan and Nepal.
Today, Bangladesh will face Hong Kong in their last game of the first round of T20 World Cup. The final match of 'A' group is being played at Zahoor Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong. Bangladesh is very dependent on today's match, analysts are looking at it as a warm-up match for the Bangladesh team before going to the main stage. However, in the briefing of the Bangladesh team, it is known that Bangladesh is not taking today's match lightly.
A change is coming to the Bangladesh team in today's match, Rubel Hossain can be seen as a replacement for reliable fast bowler Mashrafe Bin Mortaza due to leg muscle injury.
Earlier Bangladesh faced Hong Kong in 2004. Bangladesh won that match by 116 runs.
Hong Kong has already won the toss and invited Bangladesh to bat, in this case it is an opportunity for the Bangladeshi batsmen to test themselves in the batting lineup before playing in the main phase of the World Cup. Because in the first 2 matches, Bangladesh's middle order and lower order batsmen did not get a chance to name themselves on the field.
Update:
After losing the toss and going to bat, Bangladesh got the first wicket for zero runs! Hong Kong bowler Afzal took the wicket of Bangladesh opener Tamim Iqbal. Hong Kong bowler Afzal got a great gift on Tamim Iqbal's birthday. The second wicket of Bangladesh team happened in the same over of Afzal! Hong Kong bowler Afzal sent Sabbir Rahman to Sajghar after 3 runs.
After the fall of two consecutive wickets, Shakib Al Hasan and Enamul Haque tried for a while to deal with the disaster of victory. With Enamul, Shakib Al Hasan collected 37 runs on the team score board after dealing with a disaster. But after that hit Hong Kong again! In the sixth over of the innings, another wicket of the Bangladesh team fell, Enamul Haque was bowled by Vijay Nadeem Ahmed and returned to personal 26 runs.
After the fall of Enamul Haque Bijay's wicket, the duo of Shakib along with Musfiq tried to stop it, but Shakib Al Hasan got out off Irfan Khan in the 10th over after scoring a personal 34 runs, which included 6 fours among his 34 runs.
After that, Bangladesh lost 3 wickets again in two consecutive overs, captain Musfiq was out for 23 runs, Mahmudullah Riyad Elen was out for 2 runs. Nizakat returned Farhad Reza for zero runs. Abdur Razzak was dismissed by Nizakat Khan for 0 runs, continuing the rapid fall of wickets. When Liaqat returned Rubel with the next ball, Bangladesh lost 9 wickets for 108 runs. In the end, Nadeem Ahmed Al Amin put the final nail in Bangladesh's coffin. Nasir Hossain was in the field with 14 runs.
Bangladesh set a target of 109 runs to Hong Kong. But the most shameful thing is that Bangladesh's innings ended in just 16 overs!
Meanwhile, when Hong Kong came to bat in response, there was a possibility of getting a wicket in Al Amin's over, but Al Amin missed the chance of cut and bowled. Shakib came into the attack in his first over and dismissed Waqas Barkat. Again Shakib Al Hasan! Hong Kong's 3 wickets alone are making the difference between the two teams. Along with Shakib's brilliant bowling, Al Amin and Mahmudullah hit Hong Kong's batting line-up in two successive overs. Ala Amin took the wicket of Babar Hayat and Mahmudullah took the wicket of Chapman.
The entire scene after that is one of tension, sometimes the match goes to Hong Kong and sometimes to Bangladesh. However, when Munir Dar came towards the end and played a great innings of 36 runs, the match went out of Bangladesh's hands. Hong Kong won by 2 wickets with two balls to spare.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh is at the top with 4 (+2.686) points after winning two matches in the group, followed by Nepal who also won two matches and got 4 (+0.933) points. However, Bangladesh has reached Super Ten in run rate.
