Afghanistan v Pakistan | 1st T20I | Sharjah | 24 March 2023 | Pakistan innings

[Nikhil_cric]

It's just the pitches. PAK batters were playing on some of the truest wickets in PSL and suddenly they found themselves on a wicket just stopping on them.

 

[Justcrazy]

77 . 8

24 balls to go , Pakistan need to make sure they play out 24 balls.

 

[Rana]

Coverage isn’t very good

Good quality but the camera work is very poor

 

[Champ_Pal]

It's just the pitches. PAK batters were playing on some of the truest wickets in PSL and suddenly they found themselves on a wicket just stopping on them.

They were caught off guard.

 

[Rana]

Imad what are you doing man?

Why swing against Rashid??

 

[imshally81]

Imad dropped

 

[TeamPak95]

In the bus so not watching the game but Naseem Shah hitting 2 Michael Jordan level sixes out of nowhere to win the game in one day (albeit from last year) to getting hit wicket today is something probably only Naseem Shah will do . The double-edged sword that is youth, I suppose.

 

[nextover666666]

hahahahah dropped

 

[Kroll]

dropped pakistan style

 

[Rana]

Come on Maddy get us to 100 boy

 

[zarak]

Imad what are you doing man?

Why swing against Rashid??

Ahh you mean only hit the bowlers you can hit and hide against the rest...sound familiar.

 

[Snowflake]

What are they suppose to do? Apologies after every ball?

The only one who have contempt is the likes of you who think afghans arents worth to look at pakistani players.

Oh yaar enough with your inferiority complex. Baat baat pay victim ban jatay ho No one said that... it's only your own bias.

However, we've seen a lot of the behavior of Afg players and fans to know how they feel.

 

[Champ_Pal]

20 more runs for Pak to win.

100 is the target.

 

[nextover666666]

Pakistan need one over of 20 runs

 

[cricketkashmir]

20 more runs for Pak to win.

100 is the target.

I think so too. But 100 is not easy

 

[Rana]

3 wides missed by this cheat umpire

 

[badsha001]

Imad didn't run off the dropped ball and the last ball. That's 2 runs less.

 

[imshally81]

Should be wide... Another wide which not given..

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Embarrassing batting or dead pitch?

 

[Omer2002]

Maddy has turned down three singles...plus these afgan umpires are pretty biased which is understandable

 

[PakPremi]

Imad has done well i must say

He has been pathetic.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Imad anchoring the innings

 

[imshally81]

Bad approach by Imad to avoiding singles

 

[Snowflake]

Wow! Imad was terrible.

 

[imshally81]

Imad gone

 

[badsha001]

Imad rejected 3 singles.

 

[hamzi]

What an Innings

 

[hitthestump]

He has been pathetic.

He is batting for his average.

 

[Third Man]

Terrible from Imad Waseem. Denied singles on at least 7 deliveries and then got out.

 

[imshally81]

What is the lowest score by Pakistan in T20?

 

[zarak]

Hehe what an innings by Imad. 19th over maiden against a pacer on a spinning wicket

 

[Snowflake]

Was this dismissal down to the pitch too?

Pitch might not be like the ones we saw in PSL, but it is nowhere near as bad as we're making it look.

 

[CricVet]

Let Afg bat on this surface to judge.

 

[Omer2002]

Awful batting from imad there...it was pretty obv he was going go to slog but these pacers are damn good thanks to Psl

 

[Kroll]

Did Pakistan not do any practice batting on these pitches or what?

 

[world cup captain]

So much ego... no wonder Wasim kept Imad out.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

So now what has Imad done in international cricket? He has been rubbish and was rightly dropped from the national team. And this tullaybaz had audacity to sit on national tv and criticise WC final playing team.

 

[Ahmed216]

Anyone but Babar and Rizwan. My foot

 

[hitthestump]

Embarrassing batting or dead pitch?

It's the same wicket Rizwan and Babar routinely get us to 160 on.

And our bowlers defend it.

Good luck defending this humilation.

 

[Fazzy321]

Lol both Umpires are Afghans

 

[nextover666666]

What is the lowest score by Pakistan in T20?

74

 

[Justcrazy]

80 . 9

13 balls still to go , Can Pakistan scrap to 100

 

[Markhor]

To be honest there may be some similarly slow, stopping pitches in WI (unsure how USA pitches will play) at next year's World Cup.

Venues like Guyana spin prodigiously at times.

 

[Rana]

What a weird celebration by the pervert kicked out of BBL

 

[iRfaN_LA]

130 was minimum needed on this wicket. We batted like crap.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Let Afg bat on this surface to judge.

Gurbaz will eat them alive. Expecting 60-0 in powerplay.

 

[TeamPak95]

80 . 9

13 balls still to go , Can Pakistan scrap to 100

Imma say 91 all out.

 

[CricVet]

It is the same pitch where Babar had ZERO last time he played here.

 

[IMMY69]

Lack of intelligence and game awareness rears its ugly head... again

 

[Major]

To be honest there may be some similarly slow, stopping pitches in WI (unsure how USA pitches will play) at next year's World Cup.

Venues like Guyana spin prodigiously at times.

No worries babar and rizwan would be back

 

[cricketkashmir]

Can't blame Imad to be honest. He tried at least. Inexperienced side, you can expect this at times, its ok

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Was this dismissal down to the pitch too?

Pitch might not be like the ones we saw in PSL, but it is nowhere near as bad as we're making it look.

You never know with UAE pitches. PAK ripped out Hong Kong for 38 on this pitch.

 

[Rana]

I honestly would bowl Saim here

I recon he will take a 4fer

 

[imshally81]

I like zaman approach... He should come early

 

[Major]

What a weird celebration by the pervert kicked out of BBL

) Why? Because he is taking wixkets against pakistan?

 

[imshally81]

Lucky boundary

 

[nextover666666]

four hahaha

 

[nextover666666]

Nawaz or Usama mir would do well on this pitch for bowling

 

[Rana]

What was Farooqi kicked out of BBL for

Chatting up a kangaroo?

 

[Saurav]

As always Afghan will chose against Pakistan

 

[imshally81]

Coverage quality is very low... Even PSL 100x better than this..

 

[Firebat]

This chase will go down to the final over.

 

[Rana]

Well done for batting 20 overs here btw

 

[Nikhil_cric]

To be honest there may be some similarly slow, stopping pitches in WI (unsure how USA pitches will play) at next year's World Cup.

Venues like Guyana spin prodigiously at times.

Lauderhill, Florida pitch has had vrry high scores when India, NZ and WI played there.

 

[zarak]

Rizwan averages 42 at 105 on this wicket.

 

[Rana]

Coverage quality is very low... Even PSL 100x better than this..

Rubbish cameramen and production team

 

[imshally81]

Finally wide by Aleem Dar..

 

[JibranAnsari]

Should be a close match this one. Afghanistan favs though.

 

[zarak]

Well done for batting 20 overs here btw

Credit goes to imad. He played a real gem. Killer mentality

 

[Rana]

Let’s get them to 40-5 somehow

Baqi Allah ke hawale

 

[Omer2002]

I think this match is more funnier than comedy dramas

 

[ethan hunt]

Rana faheem is a terrible cricketer.
Pak youngsters are poor players of spin. Tayyab tahir plays it decently.
Are there any games in Dubai?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Haha afghans will kill themselves if they lose by 2 runs

 

[iRfaN_LA]

batting like school kids. Even if they are tailenders.

 

[cricketkashmir]

All slower balls. will be interesting to see Naseem and Ihsanullah bowl here.
Expecting a huge win for Afghanistan. The only thing I hope for - the game is played in spirit and tempers don't soar

 

[nextover666666]

All games are in Sharjah

 

[nextover666666]

I dont see it happening but if Pakistan can bowl of a win here, it would possibly be one of the best wins ever considering how low the score is.

 

[msb314]

These rubbish players have no business playing for the national team..

Turning off my TV and not watch this series any longer

 

[Snowflake]

No chance of any of spirit when Afg plays Pak. It’s personal for them.

 

[Rana]

Come on Pakistan you bowled Hong Kong out here for 35

Same spirit boys!
