4fer from Shaheen Shah Afridi & 88 from Fakhar Zaman help Pakistan level series with a 6 wicket win

[mak36]

Stop gifting wickets. Need to mentally wear them down.

 

[Justcrazy]

54 runs required , veterans at the crease .

 

[Plumb]

We just want to make look Malik and hafeez indispensable

 

[SM1989]

Who is sensing a collapse like the one against South Africa in 2013?

 

[Rinnegan Sasuke]

Good knock from Babar. Should play at this pace more frequently.

 

[emranabbas]

Pakistan trying hard to lose from here

 

[topspin]

a big difference between chasing 210 and 240 especially since Bengalis had a much better bowling attack.

I get where you're coming from though.

Sorry yes it was 240 - I was thinking it was 214

 

[mak36]

Fakhar out. Same problem with the short ball outside off

Looked like it was a slower ball.

 

[Plumb]

I believe its just a mindset of our batsmen.. 30-40 and my job is done. Noone wants to finish the game

 

[Justcrazy]

159 . 2

30 overs

 

[MMHS]

that wouldn't be bad at all but relations between the two boards haven't been the best

Relationship is as good as it had been ever - money talks. BCB will hug devil's step brother if some cash involved. But, money won't cover for some unworthy arrogance - fix that, BD is the best venue for PAK, much better than even PAK itself.

Too bad arrogance will get in the way

 

[Snowflake]

I feel bad for Malik. So hopeless and scared of the short pitched stuff.

 

[DRsohail]

It shows how awful Malik is againt the pace.We need a replacement for WC>

His overseas averages show the story.

not happening Mlllik and Hafeez will suck the blood of our team till WC may be even after that

 

[MMHS]

Guys, the difference between 26th SEP & 9th NOV isn't 29 runs and we had 25 overs bowled by Mash, Mahmud & Soumya that day for FGS - BUT, I don't want to hurt the kid, already stuck by a ball - the difference between that day & today is that Imam batted for 41 overs and today less than 41 balls.

You may curse me for this, but it's the fact.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Malik playing pace like Smith today. A similar stance.

Agreed.

Plus Bangladesh just played better cricket, plain and simple.

 

[Baigel]

Would you have Asif Ali at number 6 in Test matches?

No, the original question I posed was, who would you open alongside Fakhar in test matches

 

[Chokli]

Hoping NZ get back into this to make it tougher for Pak.

 

[Chokli]

You mean to say Imam is a curse for the Pak team?

No it means Imam isn't a good enough batsman in ODI.

 

[DRsohail]

You mean to say Imam is a curse for the Pak team?

It is if i say it with due apology.

 

[TeamPak95]

Fakhar and Babar gotta be more ruthless and not give it away, good stuff from the two though..

 

[Chokli]

No, the original question I posed was, who would you open alongside Fakhar in test matches

I think Hafeez/Azhar/Masood (if he's in the squad)

Are the only options.

 

[Mainul]

Is Imam seriously injured?

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Unlucky Malik. Crazy dismissal as Malik played a good pull shot.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Freak dismissal

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

how sarfraz manages to creat runout chances for opposition everytime he bats

 

[MMHS]

Lol 2 uncles playing for their places

You know, in The Holy Quran, there is a word "Qurratun Ayyuunn" - which roughly means - coolness of eyes. The meaning is looking at something calms you down, gives mental peace and comfort to your eyes ... makes you happy.

I don't know the opposite word, but looking at these two in middle, in late 2018 - it does give an opposite feeling .... like you had hot sands in eyes

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

I don't know the opposite word, but looking at these two in middle 2018 - it does give an opposite feeling .... like you had hot sands in eyes

haha and tuk tuking their way.

I like Malik V 2.0 for his selflessness but really he should sit out in some matches selflessly to give chance to a youngster even if he wants to continue till world cup. Hafeez sai koi umeed nahi.

And the one goes.against pace .And sarfarz will lead us to glory in 2019 while Malik batting at 5.

 

[Asif321]

Sarfraz strike rotation is impressive

 

[TeamPak95]

From what I'm reading, Malik's dismissal seems to be a bit freakish.. still I'm a little irked that it won't be a 9-10 wicket win.

 

[MMHS]

Afridi MoM - if PAK wins the series, for me MoTS as well, unless he has a poor game on Sunday.

 

[Chokli]

Sarfraz strike rotation is impressive

He's done decent as an opener in the UAE

 

[MMHS]

I think, divine blessings are there, after Sunday, at least 10 of the next 15 games before WC is not in UAE (PCB should shift other 5 to AUS as well) - that should be enough to clean some rust before WC team is finalized. These 2 at 4-5 & Sarfraz at 6 is not going to take PAK much further, no matter what bowlers do.

I dont think it is happening.They will sa WC qareeb arha ha changes nahe honi chayiy hamai UK ma experienced larkay chaahiy.

 

[MMHS]

Not for ODI, may not be for T20 either - can be great for T10.

 

[mrtaim3]

How do you cope with these bouncers?

 

[Chokli]

How do you cope with these bouncers?

You duck.

 

[Greenstorm]

Ok send Faheem now.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

lol sarfraz call for his cap to finish off with style only to fall on the first ball he face

 

[TeamPak95]

Sarfraz out... this is quite annoying.

 

[mrtaim3]

You duck.

You keep on ducking for the whole inning? How do you score runs then?

 

[Asif321]

Finally losing streak broken

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

Bravo captain.

 

[Chokli]

Spinners

 

[Chokli]

End this already, jeez.

 

[JibranAnsari]

A hattrick here will make things interesting.

 

[MMHS]

Shadab wants Big Bro to have the honor of breaking the cursed streak!!!!

 

[msb314]

Pakistan unnecessarily dragging the game here.

 

[Mohsin123]

What is going on?? Can't even take one run

 

[Mansoor3120]

They are torture Pakistani fans

 

[Ummii]

What is that?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Shaheen afridi should be man of the match

 

[Greenstorm]

Shaheen must get MoM.

 

[letme alone]

fianly

 

[RobinJay]

Shukar.

 

[hadi123]

Yes! Good win. 1-1.

 

[Angrez Pakistani]

I know that we have won convincingly but honestly, Fakhar and Babar should have finished the match.

Agree. After Babar got out, we kind of just limped across the finish line whereas when him and Fakhar were there, looked like we were going to win a lot quicker.
