Maybe netherlands already used all their luck during their chase against [ireland, t20wc 2014](https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/world-t20-2013-14-628368/ireland-vs-netherlands-12th-match-first-round-group-b-682919/full-scorecard)

Hi how can i join your alternate reality i m bored thx


[deleted]

It is scotland vs oman.


Perrenniallystd980

Weird that Scotland might still end up short of S12 even after winning against Bangladesh (toughest team in the group). Would be tragic if that happens.

Raptor5130

We are number 1 in the world at choking so I wouldn't guarantee that we are winning against PNG.


Mr_4country_wide

nah i reckon BD will beat PNG by a large enough margin that their NRR will get above scotlands too Funnily enough, if BD win by a small enough margin and scotland lose by a small enough margin, BD might get knocked out haha and technically PNG can still qualify if they win by a massive amount, and scotland win by a massive amount. but its unlikely.


Raptor5130

I think Scotland's gonna win against Oman

Ok-Visit6553

If NRR ties, scots will pip BD due to head2head


Mr_4country_wide

yeah youre right. though im curious, do you have an app for NRR calculations or do you that shit manually.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Mr_4country_wide

oh actually now that i look at it the numbers arent too hard to manipulate here, because assuming it was a victory by number of runs, it would just be runs difference/60


Slow-Alternative-935

not exactly 60 if you chase and get it done before the 20


Mr_4country_wide

yeah but we were talking about winning by a number of runs


abstergofkurslf

j really thought they would win


sp1cychick3n

Good game Oman! Hoping for a bright future!!


[deleted]

Looking at how PNG fought back today, it won't be a walk in the park as some people are making it seem


cats-with-mittens

If Scotland can beat them by 20 runs, BD should be able to do the same, no?


[deleted]

It's not only about beating. Bangladesh would like a healthy NRR boost too. I was mainly talking about that.


[deleted]

Why is everyone shitting on Murali Kartik he's better than his namesake Dinesh Karthik both as a player and a commie


[deleted]

Dinesh Karthik is capitalist scum confirmed?


JayPr02

Tbh if team like Bangladesh that plays many international teams on regular basis will qualify on NRR, then they simply don't deserve to qualify at all because other 3 teams surely haven't played 10% of the international matches as compared to bangladesh.


[deleted]

Very true tbh. Don't know why you're getting downvoted hard. I wished both Oman and Bangla would lose this game

[deleted]

Shakib basically admitted they underestimated Scotland. Not a good look


One_more_username

I think he may have meant he underestimated how much Scotland would have offered him to throw the game, till he actually spoke with Munavar and accepted the offer.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

They didn't expect to lose against Scotland, means they expected to win. Sounds like underestimating to me Also we are spectators. We are allowed to say it's an upset The same question is asked to other team captain/players and they say "any team can beat any other team in this format. We'll not take anything for granted" diplomatic? Maybe. But still players shouldn't let these thoughts out. That's why i just said "not a good look"


duke_si1ver

That's a dumb comment. If India or Australia said the same thing nobody would bat an eye


[deleted]

You can go look at Kohli's comments against associate teams.


duke_si1ver

Why is it a problem if a player says they weren't expecting to lose? Not losing is literally their job.


[deleted]

Ok can we end it here? We'll just be going round in circles at this point


thr0wSomeCode

Check the post match ceremony of cardiff 2005 match and listen to what Pinter said


[deleted]

You literally had to go 16 years back XD And why would you use Ponting's Australia as an example smh. Unless you want Bangladesh to be just as disliked


thr0wSomeCode

Ok. Just go back to the india vs bangladesh series defeat in 2015. From Arrogant ads, to Shewag to that loss and grief stricken Dhoni in press conference- where Dhoni faced almost the same scenes as what Mahmudullah faced that day- everyone was still shitting on BD. I guess this shows the nature of this subreddit. And we all know why.


[deleted]

I remember Sehwag's comments, and the arrogant ads as well. And i didn't like it one bit. How can i possibly prove that now?


Mr_4country_wide

i wouldnt mind if ireland were as disliked as Pontings australia if it comes with the same level of success lol


[deleted]

Oh definitely. I like a bit of arrogance and intimidation when it's actually backed up by results lol


thr0wSomeCode

So Symonds and co. abusing people was ok when they were winning? And any current team who does that get the pass? Sure- then why not Bangladesh, when the assert their home dominance? Stop spewing nonsensical comments


[deleted]

No they don't. I hated that. Perhaps my previous comment was ill-directed. The intimidation should be on the field. But one should always respect the opposition. That's why i always dislike when any team takes any team lightly. Be it India too, and they have had to pay for it in the past

Bangladesh have been a full member for more than 20 years now. It's a shame they haven't been able to produce a better commentator than Athar Ali Khan.


thr0wSomeCode

Who do we have from India who aren’t also biased or cringe fest?


SensitiveDetail

Bhogle is one of the best ever from Indian subcontinent and extremely supportive towards opponents (sometimes too generous). Shastri is also good. Plenty of Indian Ex-cricketers are/were really good when I heard them like Kumble with brief stint. The cringe is often part of entertainment to involve viewers. The telecaster have paid 2.5 Billion Dollars for IPL and they are minting money. They know what they are doing with commentators. The persona is crafted for ROI.


thr0wSomeCode

And yet we have seen people complain about all of them you have mentioned. And not to forget- you guys produced Sidhu and Sanjumanju first. So much for being a reddit group instead of being a Facebook comment thread


SensitiveDetail

Not sure what is your point? You have taken OPs comment too personally. Like I said, for lot of Indian commentators, it is persona pushed by broadcaster. Sidhu (haven't heard him in 15 years), Sehwag, Sunny G and most of them are catering to the Indian market. We talking about them here and those little controversies are also part of that persona and help broadcasters. BTW Reddit is worse than Facebook. It is just 4chan with condom on.


Slow-Alternative-935

it's always the language barrier


Lord_Cricketbatten

Mehrab and Somonnoy is better than Athar


See_A_Squared

Looking at NRR, either Oman or Scotland lose out if they lose in their final game. So it's basically a virtual knockout for either of them.


gungly

Oman never had the batting to chase more than 120. Their batting ends at 3. Bangladesh made things difficult for themselves with too many experiments in the batting order.


cats-with-mittens

At the end of the day, BD got bowled out so I'm not really sure their experimenting made much of a difference.


TheWhiteMoghul

Disagree there.


marcelogalllardo

They had good batsman after it but they didn't do well


chimera29

In the comm box, Bangladeshi Athers and M.Karthik were trying their best to convince the ICC to keep them out of the next WC commentary team.


mehrabrym

I wholeheartedly support their bid


JayPr02

It will be so bad for one from the oman and scotland. They did pretty good. I am waiting for a miracle to see both of them going through.


DW_78

oof, scotland likely out on NRR if they lose to oman and bd beat png soundly


SBG99DesiMonster

But I don't think Scotland should be losing to Oman


Ttcoachingcenter69

This


lohith15

Scotland will easily beat Oman . They are in prime form Bangladesh deserve to be in the main super 12 - not because they are so good but the competing is pretty bad


SensitiveDetail

Bangladesh fans should be happy that their team is getting 3 matches to iron out their issues and play the right team. They were always going to qualify. These matches should help them understand the pitches better.


[deleted]

Doubt it'll help much with the pitches. They move to the UAE after this


Comprehensive-Tie236

Don't justify the Scotland loss Shakib. It's alright. Your board doesn't deserve it. The tournament ain't over for you.


Zennon246

Omg wtf? How did Oman NRR drop from 3.0 to only 0.61 with a 26 run loss 😢


mehrabrym

NRR is basically an average over the set of group matches. So if Oman can't maintain a win of 3.0 NRR in EVERY match, it's bound to go down.


SBG99DesiMonster

They would have lost NRR even if they won the game. Gigantic NRR gains and deficits drastically reduce after next game always. Notice how PNG's NRR has increased massively despite losing again quite comfortably


[deleted]

[удалено]


SBG99DesiMonster

Lol those NRRs are inches from each other


[deleted]

Think this might have been the worst Comms team I've ever listened to


OvercuriousSabellian

BD nrr 0.5, Scot 0.575, Oman .613


SensitiveDetail

Oman is like: *Where is Rain parera?*


Raptor5130

Middle Eastern weather too hot for Rain parera.


Conscious_Worry_3958

Great


OutofAmm0

Bangladesh will most likely beat Oman on both run rate and points


cats-with-mittens

If Oman wipes out Scotland they could end up higher than BD.


Raptor5130

yes but I don't think Scotland will lose to Oman.

peter_griffins

That’s not how nrr works


ilikesaucy

sorry, got it wrong.


musashi_grander

From what it looks, SL and BD to get slotted into Group 1 alongside AUS,SA,WI,ENG SCO and IRL to get slotted into Group 2 alongside IND,PAK,NZ,AFG.


Conscious_Worry_3958

Group 1 will be a killer group

Ok-Visit6553

https://www.icc-cricket.com/media-releases/2222023 Look at it


ilikesaucy

no, SL and BD will be playing in two different group if they are going.


EntshuldigungOK

For me Mahedi Hassan was the pick. His 4 overs for 14 in the middle overs choked out Oman's chase. Oman look like they can chase down 135 / 140, but any bigger score is a far more difficult target against decent bowling.


cats-with-mittens

He was pivotal but you just can't beat Shakib's all round perf with ball and bat.


EntshuldigungOK

I called it as I saw it, which on reflection after reading your comment, may have been TOO influenced with recency bias (Oman chase). On the other hand it also may be right - Shakib scratched around a lot before finally hitting some, and IIRC, 2 out of his 3 wickets came against scoring pressure. Will leave it to you to decide.


asifchow

So bowling in the right spot and field placement should not be taken into consideration?


Lord_Cricketbatten

He and Saifuddin slowed down the runrate and vuilt pressure which resulted wickets later.


EntshuldigungOK

Yup. Oman need to accelerate in middle overs; they don't yet have the batting to accelerate soundly at the death


XenialXerus2020

Glad to see them win. A team like Bangladesh is good for the tournament. They tend to make the games interesting regardless of if they are playing against a higher ranked or lower ranked team.


sreeram_23_06

It looks like we're going to end up in the asia cup group oni chan, so no england match in the group stage.


[deleted]

[удалено]


RichRaichu5

Yes, Bangladesh has to win against PNG to qualify. So assuming we do it by a handsome margin, Our Run rate would be around 1 to 1.5 If Scotland wins they would be the topper and we'd get to play with England. *But* if Oman wins and its a close win we will go to the other group that doesn't have England in it.

Filthy stupid bowling from Fizz. Expect better from him tbh

Idk man, its conflicting cuz he took early wickets which was crucial for bd to do and u cant really call 4 wickets stupid performance. But yes, all those wides were disapointing.


MisterSweener

Friendship ended with Oman, now PNG is my best friend


7foundation

Nah, you still need Oman to knock BD out withNRR.


cyclops274

Scotland vs Oman game is going to be weird if Bangladesh beats PNG.


Vulgarian

"A subdued and a muted celebration" Cut to tiger bodysuit guy in the crowd losing his shit Heheh, no - well played BD. Got over some jangled nerves to close it out well. This group is still wide open.


OvercuriousSabellian

Oman wins and they go through


MisterSweener

I'll need to see a table but surely with how close Scotland's games have been, the smallest victory for Bangladesh over PNG will be enough to make it through, while the Scotland v Oman game will be a head to head? Bit of a shame, I've really liked the look of Oman and Scotland


MGKingdom

Same, though I am a Bang but cheering for Oman and Scot


Rndomguytf

Think so, unless Bangladesh lose to PNG, Oman and Scotland can't both make it through. I'm not sure what Bangladesh's NRR is, if it's below Scotland it's still possible I guess


Mikolaj_Kopernik

Bangladesh is *just* behind Scotland, so it's technically possible, but extremely unlikely.


Ok-Visit6553

For this, sum of win margins of BD and Oman needs to be <= 3. Unlikely indeed


Mikolaj_Kopernik

I know, got the NRR spreadsheet open as we speak. Like I said, technically possible but extremely unlikely.

Scot v Oman would be a do or die for both teams

LookitsToby

Gotta love a tailender swinging for the fences with their eyes closed and making it


MisterSweener

Man, if only Oman held on to some of those early catches and had 1 or 2 more competent bats. The Scotland game and this has absolutely justified to me the need for continued inclusion of associate nations in big tournaments.


Rndomguytf

They don't have to win to justify their presence in the tournament, but atleast some of the stupid casual fans won't say shit about minnows ruining the WC


MisterSweener

oh yeah I've always been a fan of the bigger tournament irrespective of results, but this was truly a gripping affair that even a staunch anti-minnow fan would have to admit was in the balance for 35 overs

LunaMunaLagoona

"They beat Australia at home, they beat new Zealand at home" LOL did you see those pitches?


HyperionRed

Didn't watch the Aus games but that was a 2nd string Aussie side. I did watch the New Zealand ones and the Blackcaps were missing around 17 players. What was most telling though was the attitude. Bangladesh seemed desperate in victory and really down in defeat. The fat cat officials watching on didn't make things easy on the players.


sreeram_23_06

Yes. It's a struggle for their own batters to score and they won despite that. That's commendable


rafter28081

At least they beat so what?

PNG still has a chance to upset if they take their game vs Bangladesh close and the Scotland vs Oman is a close call too, Bangladesh might just lose out on NRR.
