2015 World Cup Result | Ireland beat UAE by 2 wickets in close encounter

The problem is all minnows batting seems well equipped to understand how to reach 300 which is bare minimum in most games.

Only Pakistan batting seems lost....

pak batting is also rubbish :P

It's the pace which is killing them. These teams have medium pacers which are perfect for batsmen on these wickets. Even an out of form gayle & Samuels made it look easy against weaker bowlers , pak heros will do the same against minnows

This pitch not going to be easy for Pak batsmen.. bounce and ground is big too
 
Minnows are in a "who cares, no pressure" attitude when it comes to batting. They are going after it and scoring well. Pak plays in a shell.

The ground seems a little bigger than the NZ grounds. It actually is a regular test arena for Australian Summer.
 
I reckon if Chatara and Panyangara bowl the right lines in Brisbane ( I don't think Irish are quite getting it right at the moment; Pakistan will be in deep trouble.

Even South Africans were 3 down for 40 runs against the Zimbabwean opening pair before recovering to post 340 odd.

Zimbabwe would fancy chasing anything around 270 against Pakistan.
 
Harshas information on rafaelo is he could be a ninja turtle from Sri Lanka . Who pays this guy ?
 
Pakistan should be very careful in first 10 overs vs Zim two seamers. I don't even care if its 35-0 after 10 overs. Zim has a weakness and that is their middle overs bowlers. Only good bowlers are the two seamers and that too with new ball. If Pak can get thru 10 overs like Windies did, they can look to 300+. However, I am scared Pak may lose 2-3 wickets early on.
 
the problem with UAE is the bowling...you don't know even if they score 300, can defend or not..

bowling option limited plus fielding as most of the players are not that fit with international standards...
 
Khurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrram Foooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooour

After 1000 balls finally a four.
 
Ali really struggling since hitting 30s.... He needs to be rotating strike a lot better. Need UAE to get close to 300 to pull an upset
 
Looking at the real professions of uae players I want to support these hardworking players. But a loss to these part time players will be a huge blow to Ireland's test aspirations.
I am torn between these 2 teams. But I have to go with Ireland on this one.

I feel that khurram khan is better than both pak openers we saw so far in this wc.
 
Ali gone. Seemed lost after power play overs. Went from 29 from 31 to 45 from 71... 16 from last 40 balls.

Pace is not there but swing is there and honestly i m scared of swing because our batsman cant handle swing at 130 KPH or even 125KPH .. u know when pakistan team bats mediocre bowlers with swing looks like dale steyn and james anderson
 
Ali just wasted the start...it was there to be pulled but it was a set up .. and he fell into the trap :(
 
Excellent bowling so far need to try keep them below 200.

Khurram has a big role here

Pakistan need to be very careful against Zimbabwe and Ireland.
 
UAE can rebuild .. just keep taking singles 3-4 .. odd boundaries will come automatically

i hope they dont panic
 
Khurram is from Multan..

Why did he not play for Pakistan domestic sides in his young years?
 
This is Brisbane...

I don't think 300 is a realistic target for any time..

Ireland were not hitting the right lengths at the start. If you bowl the right channels, you're bound to pick up wickets.

Which is why if Pakistan bat first, I don't think they should look to go for 300 against Zimbabwe.

Just look for 260-270 which should be winning total.
