First ODI 100 for Raza after exactly 7 years and 1 day. What a time to get it!

Innocent Kaia's ODI 100 is the first from a non-{Taylor(3), Williams(4), Ervine(1), Masakadza(1)} in over 5 years. Previous 100 was by Mire in 2017. This is staggering!

On the other side Bangladesh will be gutted. It has been a very poor performance from them today!

who gets MOTM here?

I know Raza is the obvious one, unbeaten century with less balls. I can though make a solid argument though at the balance of the match, Innocent coming in at the position he did and where we were meant his innings was more pivotal to the outcome.

They just took it too slow given the wickets in hand.

Honestly I recon even just 20 more runs would have done it.

Just a little extra risk needed from our end. Also some terrible drops in the field.

The crowd will be loving this.

Could give it to Kaia for coming in at the time he did and calming things down. Wes will be kicking himself looking at the wicket and how well Kaia did afterwards

Congrats on an incredible win :D

Wes has been unprofessional and naughty

What a win!!! Time to get drunk! Kriterion didn't see this one coming. BD were complacent thinking 300 was enough, can't blame them, we all did. Dreaming of another trophy on the trot!

Just a random comparison: Innocent Kaia - in the first year of his international career - is just 17 international runs away from Maruma, who has played more than thrice the games in a 14 year long "international career" :D

Going to be having a fair few beers in Glasgow to celebrate that tonight. Just such a good performance.

This was a beautiful game to watch, we absolutely out played them I watched every ball today and it was worthwhile.

Kia seems to have gone up a level In his mental game and has taken every opportunity he has been given, on the other hand Wes looks like he has hit a plateau.

Kia May have the goods to open for us in One day games was very calm, his running was a little bit scathy but he got the job done.

This is a great win

Watching this live was the best decision I made this year. I think the only better live game I have seen was when we chased 300 against the Kiwis. Momentum, confidence, belief... DH is performing miracles right now.

Man it's just unreal.

Iam not even think we will cross 250 at start but partnership between raza and kaia just incredible.

Now i just want to know current mood of Bangladesh director πŸ˜‚

Guys, keep an eye on Bet365 (or any betting app) next game.

I made serious money off Raza being top scorer today.

The reason for this is when i looked at the markets ten minutes before the match, it had Williams and Ervine at favourite and second favourite respectively, which meant Raza was third favourite and paid out alot more.

Basically, the betting sites had no idea what the squad was and made assumptions on the T20 side, which isnt the first time this has happened.

When you see movies or hear about punters getting the edge over the house, this is it.

Such a good performance even without Ervine and Willo is so nice to see. Raza ofc cementing himself as one of our best clutch players, so good from Innocent as well in only his 4th game. Jongwe's cameo was great too. I kinda expect more from Wes, hopefully he can kick on in the next game.

I’m so happy, great win today.

I think quite a few of us have doubted Kaia’s ability and he has proven today that he has the temperament to build an innings. For him to get a ton in these circumstances gives me hope that we have some future. No idea why he didn’t open though. I’m sure they will drop Musakanda though next game so he should fit back at the top of the order.

I put a bet on at 8/1 but I’m gutted I didn’t put another when the odds were a lot higher.

Really happy. Would love to see that Bangladesh cricket directors face now.

Need to be better with the ball and fielding for game 2 and we could be on for a series win. Saying that I thought Jongwe bowled well and that opening spell from Nyauchi and Ngarava was great, they deserved a couple of wickets each.

2 changes for me game 2 (as long as Burl is okay), Marumani/Munyonga in for Musakanda and Evans in for Masakadza

Great win guys πŸ‡ΏπŸ‡ΌπŸ‡ΏπŸ‡Ό

Wow just wow ..i was jumping here in India 1000 of miles away ..sikandar Raza has hit BT level consistency when he was at his peak ..this is pure joy ..had ervine and Williams been there we could have finished this even earlier but who am I to complain

.sikandar Raza should play for another 10 years..we might never get a team player a dedicated man like him ever again
