Afghanistan (133/3) defeat Pakistan (130/6) by 7 wickets to win the 2nd T20I and take a 2-0 lead

[castortroy]

Pak getting humiliated by Afghanistan is a new low

 

[CricVet]

Such garbage bowling from pak senior spinners

 

[Justcrazy]

55 . 1

6 overs

 

[boomboomcheema]

Need a miracle.

 

[Cric_lover4487]

Will anyone held Imad and Shadab accountable for their tuk tuk batting in last 5 overs? 150 was feasible target.

 

[cricfan967]

This overexcited commentator makes this unbearable to watch, might have to mute the TV.

 

[CricVet]

All but a few have been bowled outside off. Trash after trash

 

[imshally81]

Need to stop these easy singles..

 

[CricVet]

The only smart bower in the end might be Imad. Let see

 

[Rana]

Shadab here to release pressure

 

[Savak]

Such garbage bowling from pak senior spinners

Shadab, Nawaz, Naseem were rubbish in the PSL with the ball. But they were still selected for this series wheras an inform Osama Mir has been put in the reserves.

 

[imshally81]

Pathetic commentators

 

[amvbfm]

Zadran was always a good player but he now seems to have totally modeled himself on Kohli and pretty successfully too.

 

[Rana]

Shadab turns one in his life

 

[castortroy]

The funniest thing was watching Azam facing Rashid.

Men v Boys

 

[CricVet]

Shadab is the worst of all

 

[Ahmed216]

No scoreboard pressure really

 

[shariqnoor]

130 doesn't seem to be enough. Pakistani spinners look so toothless.

 

[Cric_lover4487]

Why would you play Azam on these slow spin wickets? Poor management.

 

[Savak]

Afghanistan have played like a veteran big 3 team against Pakistan in this series. Totally bossed Pakistan in all facets and have had more confident dominating body language.

 

[CricVet]

Shadab, Nawaz, Naseem were rubbish in the PSL with the ball. But they were still selected for this series wheras an inform Osama Mir has been put in the reserves.

Usama has been unjustly treated- no doubt

 

[Rana]

The difference when you have a proper number 3

 

[imshally81]

Imad need to be bowl here

 

[CricVet]

Batsmen look so unsure on the balls pitching on the middle slightly short and yet these spinners can’t see it

 

[Savak]

Very mature knock from Gurbaz, he is playing for the team and also respecting the conditions and opposition.

 

[Rana]

Imad need to be bowl here

He needed to bowl in the powerplay

Not those jobber seamers

 

[Ahmed216]

PSL is a rubbish tournament. Has done more harm than good

 

[shariqnoor]

Why would you play Azam on these slow spin wickets? Poor management.

Your objective is winning at all costs.

The objective of this series is to exactly see how the second tier Pakistan batsmen play. So why would you not play Azam?

 

[Justcrazy]

Afghanistan need 65 runs in 60 balls.

 

[nextover666666]

2 games and confirm shadab is a poor captain

 

[Champ_Pal]

Afg has great tourism potential.

 

[Adi_62945]

Robotic captaincy

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

2 games and confirm shadab is a poor captain

Everyone in Pak is poor captain along with Babar and other future captains. The problem is not actually with the captaincy but the lack of professional management setup.

 

[CricVet]

Imad is saved for the end. Oh well… I was definitely wrong about Shadab. He does lack strategic skills

 

[Farah Sohail]

Why hasnt shadab brought imad in bowling yet?

 

[CricVet]

This should be out

 

[CricVet]

Hmmmm…,nope…played it

 

[imshally81]

Good over by Nawaz

 

[CricVet]

Finally bowled tight and within stumps

 

[daytrader]

A breakthrough here and we're still in it

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Zadran was always a good player but he now seems to have totally modeled himself on Kohli and pretty successfully too.

Why not model after Babar?

 

[Hextro]

Keep in mind that Afghanistan has a very poor batting lineup. Pakistan batted extremely poorly.

 

[imshally81]

RR is under 6...Just need to stop easy singles

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Not sure why we left Imad so late.

 

[Savak]

Pakistan has allowed Afghanistan 4-5 easy singles every over. My word Shadab has been exposed as a very poor captain.

 

[zarak]

Afghanistan is not looking Panicky. Imad looking easy thus far

 

[Savak]

Keep in mind that Afghanistan has a very poor batting lineup. Pakistan batted extremely poorly.

Certainly not based on what I am seeing. They have looked much more comfortable in these conditions vs the Pakistani batters.

 

[CricVet]

Needs these 2 out and the game will be even

 

[Shams123]

The pressure is building. Boundaries are not coming. We are still in this. Hopefully we will not miss any chances due to our poor fielding.

 

[Rana]

Good spell by Nawaz so far

Can he close it out?

 

[imshally81]

Afg is clearly on driving seat here... They have wickets... Asking RR isn’t too far...

 

[zarak]

Shadab looks like he is from the Mohammad Yousuf school of captaincy

 

[Rana]

4th quick single on Shadab

 

[imshally81]

Good spell by Nawaz

 

[CricVet]

All the balls but few in this over were drifting to the leg

 

[Rana]

More dots

More dots

 

[imshally81]

Why Shadab again?

 

[Shams123]

Afghanistan is putting too much faith in their low order hitting. Need to go big here.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Really need wickets here

 

[CricVet]

A nothing ball one after another. Lucky that he has not been spanked yet

 

[Rana]

50 off 6 won’t be easy

 

[amvbfm]

Why not model after Babar?

Uski marzi Raja sb.

 

[imshally81]

Out and reviewed

 

[CricVet]

Out or outside leg?

 

[Shams123]

Don't want this to be out. This partnership is helping Pakistan.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Thats not out

 

[CricVet]

Looks to hit on the glove

 

[zarak]

wow that was bad

 

[Rana]

I recon get Ihsanullah on now and get the run rate up to 8-9 for the last 5

 

[Shams123]

Ideally as a Pakistani, you want Nabi and Rashid to come in when RR is over 9.

 

[zarak]

I recon get Ihsanullah on now and get the run rate up to 8-9 for the last 5

would you gamble Imad with one

 

[emranabbas]

Afghan version of rizbar

 

[Rana]

Wrong bowler I recon

It should have been Ihsanullah

 

[Rana]

would you gamble Imad with one

Probably not

Nawaz bowled Imad’s quota

 

[zarak]

have to get rid of Naseems over. Gamble on

 

[imshally81]

Imad should bowl here

 

[CricVet]

Ihsanullah did not bowl well earlier. I hope 2nd would be a better spell

 

[Rana]

Ihsan how was that 2??

 

[MenInG]

Think AFG could mess this up - pressure may prove to be too much. Think we need this luck.

 

[emranabbas]

Why bring on naseem
