Asia Cup 2022: Pakistan v Hong Kong | 6th Match | Group A | Sharjah | 2 Sep | Pakistan innings

[Nasty Naz]

This pitch is so slow and garbage. Why is a pitch this poor allowed to be produced in T20's?

 

[Omer2002]

hong kong got 150 plus against India will easily beat us

 

[boomboomcheema]

Are they planning to defend 130 ?

 

[Zeshan547]

what a phattu team we have.

 

[Rana]

Pak attack is good enough to defend 125 against a side that is now even minnow level.

Pakistan has 3 140+ seamers

The ball will fly off the bat against Kong batters who like pace

 

[Mp812]

Approach seems correct. 120 to 140 is enough for HK to loose. Three fast bowlers will take 3 wkts each in their spell

 

[IccKnockout]

How does this Rizwan guy fool so many Pak fans making them think he is a good t20 player
Lol

 

[Omer2002]

This pitch is so slow and garbage. Why is a pitch this poor allowed to be produced in T20's?

Yes it is very bad but this is no execuse for such pathetic batting when its easy to score sixes..and we have so much batting left

 

[Rana]

hong kong got 150 plus against India will easily beat us

Dubai is a much bigger ground too

140 isn’t going to be enough runs to defend here

The pitch might be slow but it’s not like Pakistan have looked like they want to hit the ball big

 

[IccKnockout]

Pakistan has 3 140+ seamers

The ball will fly off the bat against Kong batters who like pace

It can also beat the bat and rattle the stumps. Or take the edge.

 

[msb314]

Poor and pathetic from Pakistan

 

[Naveed99]

How does this Rizwan guy fool so many Pak fans making them think he is a good t20 player
Lol

By performing?

 

[Rana]

How does this Rizwan guy fool so many Pak fans making them think he is a good t20 player
Lol

Not me

Don’t count me amongst those fools

 

[Zeshan547]

This pitch is so slow and garbage. Why is a pitch this poor allowed to be produced in T20's?

Why blame the pitch when there is zero intent, it's not like they are trying to smash but not connecting, India scored 193 on same pitch vs same team. It's the phattu timid batting and stroke less batsman.

 

[shah_1]

Rizwan’s purple patch is over

 

[Shafi]

Fakhar is really rubbish player. How long we have to persist with this hack?

 

[asadee]

Why blame the pitch when there is zero intent, it's not like they are trying to smash but not connecting, India scored 193 on same pitch vs same team. It's the phattu timid batting and stroke less batsman.

India played in Dubai

 

[IccKnockout]

M

Pretty sure Rizwan will go on to make a 55 ball 69 and some his fans are gonna quote me on the magnificent innings

 

[Nasty Naz]

Did I see that chart right? Shadab with the highest SR on the team? lol.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

India were only 70/1 against HK after 10 oers and that pitch was better.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Why blame the pitch when there is zero intent, it's not like they are trying to smash but not connecting, India scored 193 on same pitch vs same team. It's the phattu timid batting and stroke less batsman.

No they didn't. That match was in Dubai.

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan picked 3 pacers for Sharjah pitch (tends to assist spinners). Blunder?

Should still win against HK though.

 

[Colorblind Genius]

if you score 5 runs on 5 balls to have 100 strike rate, then it's totally different for the same strike rate of 100 if you have scored 31 runs on 31 balls.
6.4 average after 10 overs against HK? lol

This batting is too timid and on the backfoot. Clear lack of skill and aggression and confidence.

If there is a game between HK and Afghanistan, then watch how Afghanis romp HK.

 

[IccKnockout]

Straight boundaries are small.

 

[OneManShow]

Why blame the pitch when there is zero intent, it's not like they are trying to smash but not connecting, India scored 193 on same pitch vs same team. It's the phattu timid batting and stroke less batsman.

They played in Dubai. Criticism is valid but get facts right. Totally different pitch - ball not coming on to bat regardless of pacers or spinners. Bad surface but intent has been non existent

 

[Rana]

Finally a 6!

 

[Omer2002]

Rizwan and Fakhar has annoyed me so much...u have to move your feet and if the pitch is tacky you use sweeps and reverse etc...sp pathetic this

 

[IccKnockout]

Helmet off for Rizwan
Sixes coming

 

[NeVerMind]

And shot of the day by Riz with a straight six

 

[Asif321]

Rizwan legend

 

[Champ_Pal]

This is a terrible pitch. Slow as a snail.

Pakistan needs someone who can score a 50 in 25 deliveries to reach 170 from here.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Pakistan should make around 175 here.

 

[IccKnockout]

Pakistan are lucky they have v good bowl attack
They will get embarrassed a lot against a lot of teams with this batting otherwise

 

[Darkrai]

Rizwan vs Fakhar let's see who plays better in this game.

 

[Shafi]

Signboard coach is there to show his face for camera.

 

[MenInG]

Pakistan are lucky they have v good bowl attack
They will get embarrassed a lot against a lot of teams with this batting otherwise

That's why they have bowlers.

Batters cant do the work all the time

 

[Villager6964]

This pitch is bit difficult. It has 15 cm lower bounce than Dubai.
Dubai's pitch is way better than this garbage.

Ball is keeping low here. Very difficult to time the shots.

 

[IccKnockout]

That's why they have bowlers.

Batters cant do the work all the time

Can’t expect bowlers to do all the work all the time. Especially on flat wickets on normal t20 wickets its gonna be a batting shoot out

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

This is an awful Sharjah pitch, but the batters deserve some blame for being 76-1 after 11 too. This is the kind of pitch where you have to use your feet against the spinners and target the shortest boundary by hitting as straight as possible. Don't think Fakhar and Rizwan have done that enough.

 

[IMMY69]

The pitch is so slow...
Impossible to time the ball in it.
It will improve under lights.

Precisely why teams have been successful chasing here in the UAE.

 

[NeVerMind]

Uneven bounce again and stumping review but Riz is not out

 

[Champ_Pal]

Why do they check for catch when the appeal is for stumping? This is terrible waste of time.

 

[Villager6964]

130 is winning score here even against top teams.
Pathetic garbage pitch.

 

[IccKnockout]

Expecting 160 here with a late flourish

 

[IccKnockout]

Why do they check for catch when the appeal is for stumping? This is terrible waste of time.

That’s the process. If it goes upstairs everything has to be checked.

 

[JaDed]

This is a different pitch , spin should help here.

 

[PakEngFan]

Not me

Don’t count me amongst those fools

Don’t worry we count you as a fool who thinks zeeshan ashraf is better then Rizwan and Saud and kamran are better then Babar.

 

[NeVerMind]

Fakhar's not getting any timing on this pitch

 

[Villager6964]

Fakhar Zaman is very hit and miss player in t20is that's why he averages 22 in this format.

 

[NeVerMind]

Riz with a much needed boundary

 

[cricenjoyer]

Signboard coach is there to show his face for camera.

Do you have anything better to do than to abuse all PCT players and coaching staff?

 

[NeVerMind]

Another 50 for Riz (batting at a better strike rate than Fakhar) and yet people want him dropped... Jokes...

 

[Rana]

Don’t worry we count you as a fool who thinks zeeshan ashraf is better then Rizwan and Saud and kamran are better then Babar.

The champion of Rizwan rights

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan kills the purpose of t20s , zero entertainment. Extra caucious.

 

[sweep_shot]

This pitch is sluggish.

So, Pakistan are not in danger. They should win comfortably.

 

[PakEngFan]

Fakhar Zaman is very hit and miss player in t20is that's why he averages 22 in this format.

The reason why rizwan got a go at opening.

 

[light]

Not able to watch the match today. Looking at the scorecard, looks like they are batting slowly. How is the pitch acting?

 

[IccKnockout]

Pakistan not missing Babar with Rizwan going at similar rate and getting another 60 to keep up the avg

 

[cricenjoyer]

Runnings been poor from the two.

I guess the heat's contributing to that but still they should be doing better

 

[NeVerMind]

Riz playing on another pitch to Fakhar... Another 4

 

[Nasty Naz]

Pitch is slow. Outfield is slow. Amazing stuff from UAE.

 

[IccKnockout]

Pak already has enough with their bowling firepower

 

[ex-q-zit]

How does this Rizwan guy fool so many Pak fans making them think he is a good t20 player
Lol

He seems to be striking better than Fakhar whom everyone here think will score at 200+ S/R.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

185 on here.

 

[NeVerMind]

Fakhar needs to just hit out or get out...

 

[IAJ]

And Rizwan starts with his dramabazay with one ball to go in the over lol

 

[Rohan]

Pak already has enough with their bowling firepower

Do You want them to declare??

 

[Rana]

Fakhar needs to just hit out or get out...

That’s what Rizwan is trying to do now that he has got his selfish 50 off 42 balls against Hong Kong

 

[Nasty Naz]

Fakhar needs to just hit out or get out...

lol he is trying... it's just not happening. Even Rizwan has only started to hit a bit now.

 

[IccKnockout]

He seems to be striking better than Fakhar whom everyone here think will score at 200+ S/R.

Off day. Fakhar has many of those in t20s

 

[Shafi]

Do you have anything better to do than to abuse all PCT players and coaching staff?

No we need professional coach not a clueless person who doesn't know anything about coaching.

 

[Rana]

And Rizwan starts with his dramabazay with one ball to go in the over lol

He would have a great career in Hum TV after cricket

 

[IccKnockout]

Do You want them to declare??

Very funny

 

[Rana]

36 balls to go and my man Rizwan is looking for quick singles and doubles

 

[ex-q-zit]

Off day. Fakhar has many of those in t20s

With his issues with the short ball he will be a walking wicket in Australia. pak needs to bring Sharjeel or Shan Masood. Preferably teh latter who seems to be in sublime form.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Please retire rizwan or hit wickets with bat

 

[cricenjoyer]

No we need professional coach not a clueless person who doesn't know anything about coaching.

Again stop abusing and make an actual argument for why we do

A professional coach wont make any difference. If they players are good enough they'll perform, coach won't make a difference

 

[NeVerMind]

Finally a 6 from Fakhar

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

6 by zoom zoom zaman

 

[Rana]

The Mayor of Slog sweep city!!
