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

[Omer2002]

This pitch will spin like mad too

 

[Champ_Pal]

Pak batsmen not used to this new ball swing. They just need to be patient for a couple of overs and then they can play their shots.

 

[Rana]

That six was for Babar and Rizwan fans

 

[ammar_merry]

Better from Saim

 

[Third Man]

So if the same start we had with rizzy and babar we would be slating them..this afghan team is v good 3 0 i have changed prediction from 2 1 defeat

No one would be slating them. Are you not seeing how the ball is hooping around?

 

[Kroll]

Show some footwork lads.

 

[nextover666666]

Farooqui is proving to be difficult

 

[ammar_merry]

That six was for Babar and Rizwan fans

What is the runrate?

 

[AAli98]

Where have these tailenders come from? Have they done hard graft in 1st class.. or just selected from the Micky mouse league.

 

[salman24]

No one would be slating them. Are you not seeing how the ball is hooping around?

People like Rana would. There are blind followers and blind critics.

 

[Omer2002]

Haris is worse than a tail ender ..he just needs to slog i am afraid

 

[Firebat]

Nervous start from these guys, ball was not singing like this in Pindi. Hang in there. There won't be footwork and proper cricket, they're T20 bashers

 

[Rana]

Jee oye Harris

 

[Ahmed216]

Looks like Haris is better off in middle order. Poor batting against the moving ball

 

[Champ_Pal]

Haris needs to adopt a bit to int'l cricket. He is playing like a tailender.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Haris looks lost

 

[Rana]

Koi Na Harris

Always a next time

 

[Omer2002]

No one would be slating them. Are you not seeing how the ball is hooping around?

I have no doubt but have you not seen the non existent footwork

 

[msb314]

Haris should settle down a bit

 

[Champ_Pal]

Finally Haris connects one. Playing like a proper hack.

 

[imshally81]

Haris gone

 

[Champ_Pal]

And he is gone. End of a terrible innings.

 

[Rana]

Babar and Rizwan fans so happy Harris is out

 

[ammar_merry]

Koi Na Harris

Always a next time

6 of 10 better than rizwan.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Haris should settle down a bit

In the Pak dugout. Very disappointing innings.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Harris is a tailender, not an opener.

 

[ha5is12]

I hope I hear certain people calling this performance out btw

 

[Rana]

Keep trying boys

10 wickets

We ain’t taking any home with us

 

[Firebat]

Shouldn't expect anything else, these guys have probably never played a moving ball in their life.

 

[nextover666666]

Haris looked really out of it but its okay, gotta give bowlers credit as well.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Babar and Rizwan fans so happy Harris is out

I understand you don't like Bab and Riz, but they are 100 times better than Harris Hack.

 

[Rana]

Zindabad Saim

 

[Gullycricket]

Babar and Rizwan fans so happy Harris is out

No one is happy. He plays under Babar. Stop with the divisive comments like Fixmir

 

[Champ_Pal]

Real talent Shafiq comes in.

 

[ha5is12]

Everybody wants the young lad to succeed but if you're gonna set standards for players hold all the players to those standards

 

[CricVet]

Here comes the babar Riz army. ball is swinging miles. we would have been 9 for 1 by now with babar and riz

 

[Ahmed216]

He is TALENTED

 

[nextover666666]

Saim looking good so far.

 

[Rana]

I understand you don't like Bab and Riz, but they are 100 times better than Harris Hack.

What happened against SA in the World Cup?

 

[Champ_Pal]

Saim is a class above Haris. You can see the clear difference in Class.

 

[Rana]

Everybody wants the young lad to succeed but if you're gonna set standards for players hold all the players to those standards

No thanks

 

[Gullycricket]

These are new guys who played on literal roads. Need some time. Also Sharjah is terrible for T20

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

What a disgusting dismissal from Harris, did anyone see the bat move. He is a tailender.

 

[nextover666666]

Will be interesting to see how this pitch is during Afghan team batting.

 

[Waleed93]

Babar and Rizwan fans so happy Harris is out

No one has shown any happiness.

You are making up nonsense and talking to yourself just because your fatty got exposed and the selectors have chosen these young promising young guns ahead of the obese fixer.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Saim Ayub is class. Posters were saying that he needed more time in domestic. No he doesn't. He is ready to play the ODIs vs NZ.

 

[ammar_merry]

What happened against SA in the World Cup?

Whats happening against afg in Sharjah

 

[Champ_Pal]

Not a good start for Pakistan.

160 will be a winning total here. A big ground and assistance for seamers. Patience is needed.

 

[Gullycricket]

Tbh this team is far better than ones of past having Ifti, Khushdil or Asif brainless

 

[Ahmed216]

Abdullah technique I call him. Someone who doesn’t watch the ball properly and more interested in his aesthetics.
Look at the gap between bat n ball

 

[ha5is12]

No thanks

Delusional

 

[Rana]

Whats happening against afg in Sharjah

What usually happens when Babar and Rizwan play against them

 

[msb314]

Unlucky Shafiq

 

[Champ_Pal]

Saim Ayub is class. Posters were saying that he needed more time in domestic. No he doesn't. He is ready to play the ODIs vs NZ.

He is a mini QDK in the making. He will shine.

 

[ammar_merry]

This team has the ability to lose to associate nations. Selected on some league cricket.

 

[Gullycricket]

Imad needs to be sent up. He's clutch in these situations

 

[Markhor]

I didn't realise the standards of Rizwan and Babar fans were so low that they're being compared to two young rookies. I thought they were ICC Award winners.

Can we support the players who are actually playing ?

 

[Afhan Ali]

Hahaha look at Pakistan new look team

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Which channel is showing it in India?

 

[Rana]

Tayyab Bhangra at the crease

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Tayyab Tahir is in the squad after 1 performance. Can't expect much from this guy.

 

[salman24]

I've said it before I like these kids and hope they play for Pakistan but they can't replace Babar and Rizwan. They should play alongside them.

Babar and Rizwan will win you 8 out of 10 games.

These guys might do better in 2 out of 10 games.

 

[Omer2002]

This afganistan team is too good will have a v good world cup in india...they have grt spinners now look at their pace battery plus they can afford to drop that sharjeel look alike zezai i mean they r too good

 

[Champ_Pal]

Doull is right. Assessment of conditions need to be made by batsmen. Somebody from the dressing room must send out a message to batsmen not to swing blindly at the ball.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

He is a mini QDK in the making. He will shine.

Nah nah. This guy is a touch player. Classy stroke maker. I don't see the comparison with QDK to be honest . Saim relies on timing

 

[Rana]

I didn't realise the standards of Rizwan and Babar fans were so low that they're being compared to two young rookies. I thought they were ICC Award winners.

Can we support the players who are actually playing ?

They can’t mate. They were never Pakistan fans

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Look at how scared they are while playing. AFG is all over them. They are just playing for a spot.

 

[ammar_merry]

Not a good start for Pakistan.
160 will be a winning total here. A big ground and assistance for seamers. Patience is needed.

How is sharjah a big ground?

 

[Champ_Pal]

This afganistan team is too good will have a v good world cup in india...they have grt spinners now look at their pace battery plus they can afford to drop that sharjeel look alike zezai i mean they r too good

Their swing bowlers are very good. They just lack pace on flat decks.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Which channel is showing it in India?

FanCode app

 

[Ahmed216]

This guy Tahir is much much better than Abdullah technique

 

[topspin]

I didn't realise the standards of Rizwan and Babar fans were so low that they're being compared to two young rookies. I thought they were ICC Award winners.

Can we support the players who are actually playing ?

Babar and Rizwan supporters can never enjoy a Pakistan win without their precious duo.

 

[Major]

Loving the bowling by fazalhaq. Supporting afghsnitan here against my own country. Big fan of their crickrt.

Hoping they win the series. However afg has a very weak bowling. All pakistan needs to do is cross 120 and they can get afg all out very quickly. Pakistan bowling is quality

 

[Champ_Pal]

How is sharjah a big ground?

My bad. I always assumed UAE grounds are pretty big. Looks like a small ground. Shortest is 58m

 

[cricketkashmir]

Which channel is showing it in India?

Fancode. Series available for 49

 

[Champ_Pal]

Afg trump cards Mujeeb and Rasheed will be critical for them.

 

[ammar_merry]

240 team is 24/2

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Saim Ayub has a very aesthetic technique. Lets see how much composure he has. Genuine 20 year old too.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

guys, only 15 overs left until tea. They need to dead bat this out.
