Afghanistan v India U-23s l Emerging Teams Cup | Singapore | 22/8/13 l Discussion

[PakistanKnight]

India's next target, because they're unlikely they're going to win this is 160 to finish top of Group A on Run-Rate and thus have, in theory, an easier semi-final against UAE-Espncricinfo.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

@Kiwi:-It is either this way or vice-versa on Pak and Ind games.

No I dont think.. We Pak fans stays till the end whatever happens..!!!!

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

If India scores 160, they will top the group at meet UAE, but looks unlikely.

 

[hur rizvi]

India need 160 to top the group and play UAE

 

[PakistanKnight]

23 to defend of 15 balls,C'mon Afghanistan!

 

[GreenKnightRises]

160 won't be achieved

 

[PakistanKnight]

No I dont think.. We Pak fans stays till the end whatever happens..!!!!

Agreed. Pak U-19s and England U-19s the other day where GOhar won the match for us is a prime example.

can india pull this one off.... i dont think so.

 

[PakistanKnight]

3 dot balls...! India getting further away from top of the group.

 

[Aman]

Team who plays the tougher team in the semis will probably win.

 

[hur rizvi]

19 off 11 required

 

[PakistanKnight]

 

[PakistanKnight]

Don't disappoint us,Afghanistan.

 

[PakistanKnight]

1 run.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Where is Hammid Hasan..??? That Guy could have rattled Ind U23's under 100

 

[Aman]

That being said I felt the first game between India and Pakistan didn't give a fair reflection of the two teams as they were playing in Singapore for the first time. In the final I think the better team will win regardless of the result of the toss.

 

[PakistanKnight]

Only if Hamid Hasan could be playing. I am pretty sure India would have had very tough fight for 140 also.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

8 down.

 

[saiyan0312]

well afghanistan will win this and we will face UAE

 

[PakistanKnight]

 

[PakistanKnight]

and Dawlatzai

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Dawtazai strike.. Dawlatzai and Hammid Hassan are the future bowlers for Afgans..

 

[PakistanKnight]

Typical tailender shot from Sharma

 

[PakistanKnight]

Just make sure they don't give a boundary. Singles are no problem.

 

[PakistanKnight]

Blockhole!

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Dawtazai first class stats are amazing after 5 games.

 

[PakistanKnight]

Dot ball! )

 

[PakistanKnight]

Get the pacer on! No spinners

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Need 16 in last over.

 

[saiyan0312]

16 needed from the last over.

 

[Sakss]

So India have lost , unless there is a way to score 41 in one over .

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Nabi bowling last over.

Too good to concede 16 on this pitch.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Dawlatzai 9 over 1/18.. better than Zia..???

 

[saiyan0312]

8 needed from thee balls.

 

[Aman]

So India have lost , unless there is a way to score 41 in one over .

If there's a will there's a way

 

[PakistanKnight]

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Six!!!

8 from 3

 

[GreenKnightRises]

 

[Sakss]

India's next target, because they're unlikely they're going to win this is 160 to finish top of Group A on Run-Rate and thus have, in theory, an easier semi-final against UAE

 

[PakistanKnight]

Dot ball

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

8 from 2

 

[Aman]

Singham stop lurking and man up...

 

[Sakss]

If there's a will there's a way

In this case there is NO will and there is NO way,

 

[saiyan0312]

we are at the top of the table now.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Wicket.

Done

Pak tops the group.

Feel sorry for Afghans. Bowled exceptionally all 3 games.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

.. and that ends all hope for Ind to become group toppers..

 

[PakistanKnight]

we qualify! We are #1

 

[Sakss]

 

[Aman]

Afghanistan bowlers > Pakistan U23?

 

[GreenKnightRises]

:byes

 

[PakistanKnight]

Last ball went for 4 leg byes. Thank God!

 

[saiyan0312]

byes... afghanistan win this and we will face uae in the semis.,

 

[Aman]

we qualify! We are #1

If I were a betting man I'd back India, a tougher game is better preparation than a push over.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

LOL this table has still India first:

[GreenKnightRises]

Afghanistan bowlers > Pakistan U23?

Yeah... I agree.. They have been awesome throughout this series..

 

[saiyan0312]

afghanistan missed hamid hassan..... bowled very well.

 

[PakistanKnight]

Pak U-23s will face UAE in the semi finals which should be easy for us and we will,Insha'Allah.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

LOL this table has still India first:

http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/series/638924.html

the table isn't updated

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

the table isn't updated

Yes it's after 3 games.

 

[PakistanKnight]

@Kiwi:-We just want to win,be it India or UAE. I was just backing UAE to become #1 in the group. Afterall our youngsta beauties are demolishing everyone. Pak U-19s and U-23s all the way!

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Afghanistan pull off a notable victory against an India U-23 side packed with IPL and Ranji Trophy players

Good achievement from Afghan Bowlers.. If Usman Khan too joins their team I Think Afghan Bowling would become much awesome..

 

[PakistanKnight]

The cup has "PAKISTAN" written all over it.

 

[PakistanKnight]

@HazTheGreen:-Usman Khan should go to Pak. Pak provided him with his cricket facilities.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Yes it's after 3 games.

.. They have higher NRR according to cricinfo..... That lat ball 4 leg byes have messed up .. they says....

 

[avicricket]

I think in A,U-19,U-23 competition the tougher the opposition the better.it gives you knowledge about players.

 

[PakistanKnight]

Espncricinof biased? It isn't showing anything about this match on the headlines.

 

[hur rizvi]

India on top of table

Cricinfo commies got the required runs (to Top the group) wrong

 

[Vayuu]

The cup has "PAKISTAN" written all over it.

Like the worldcup semifinal 2011 and champions trophy.

 

[Sakss]

.. They have higher NRR according to cricinfo..... That lat ball 4 leg byes have messed up .. they says....

Thats a shame...

Dont worry we will defeat the mighty Sri lankans too

 

[PakistanKnight]

Those four byes off the last ball made a difference! India just pip Pakistan to top the table.-Espncricinfo

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Who is Usman khan?

 

[PakistanKnight]

Nabi you terrible bowler!

 

[PakistanKnight]

Couldn't bowl a straight ball

 

[PakistanKnight]

Whoever we play,we will win Insha'Allah.

 

[Singham]

Live to fight for another day

It would have been funny if we haven't qualified...

 

[PakistanKnight]

Like the worldcup semifinal 2011 and champions trophy.

And just like 2009 World T20,1992 World Cup,India series 12/13.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

It's better meeting SL, believe me.

The main purpose of this tour is to learn and I think they will learn more against SL, but UAE is not a bad team either. They have quite a few dashing players and if they click, god know what will happen. One of them scored 2 hundreds already.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Who is Usman khan?

[avicricket]

Pakistani knight are you a under 15 year old.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Amazing to see 'some posters' getting back after knowing that Ind topped the group and have qualified for the semis.........
