Asia Cup 2022 | Sri Lanka vs Pakistan | Match 6 | Super 4 | Dubai | 9 Sep | Pre-Match Discussion

[MenInG]

So Pakistan now in the final - time to rest some players but do we have enough backups?

Should Hassan Ali be given a chance to play now?

 

[Sohaib]

Not sure but Babar said "they'll keep the momentum going.." Perhaps no changes expected to be made.

I would rather rest Rizwan, Rauf, and perhaps Shadab Khan too and let perhaps Haider Ali or Fakhar Zaman keep wickets(Fakhar Zaman has did wicket-keeping in ODI against Zimbabwe for some period of time). But then that just me as a fan.

 

[Major]

Babar will play his friend no matter what, Qadir is gonna come.

Might aswell give Haider Ali and Hasan Ali a chance.

Rest shadab maybe

 

[Rana]

All bench should play

Enough of this winning combination so no changes rubbish. There are players who are playing through injury in this team!

 

[finalfantasy7]

nothing wrong to use qadir in this match, as we need to treat is a tatics for our bowling perspective, and like you said give shadab a rest.

i will also give rauf a rest and play hasan and if he performs - then in final giv him the start over hasnain = still dont think he has the mentality to play a big game final. + hasan batting provides us extra - far better fielder than hasnain also

“Far better fielder”?

Matthew Wade says “hi”

he hasnt said hi to me.

hasnain is the worst fielder in the world and could challenge d.kanieria as the worst ever

 

[shariqnoor]

This is the match where you should absolutely give a rest to Babar, Rizwan, Naseem. We have never allowed our bench to get stronger by playing them in useless matches. Also we should also use dead runners to groom a future captain. If Shadab is next in line for T20 captaincy, then allow him to lead the team.

 

[alishahid]

Haider Ali
Fakhar Zaman
Babar Azam C
Ifthikar Ahmed
Mohammed Haris WK
Asif Ali / Kushdil Shah
Mohammed Nawaz
Hassan Ali
Haris Rauf
Shahnawaz Dahani
Usman Qadir


Rest Rizwan shadab naseem as they seem to be struggling a bit of late with cramps. Leave them for the big day on sunday.

Get Babar one down as the lankans would try the farooqi inswinger with the lefty mathushanka who is accurate and has a vicious indipper

 

[Nasty Naz]

Meaningless game on friday. They should use this opportunity to rest our players a bit. However, I think this think tank is far too short-term focused to do this though.

Ideally, Rizwan should be rested for Haider even if it means Haider has to keep. It literally does not matter.

Qadir should come in for Shadab. Hasan & Dahani (if fit) should come in for Naseem & Haris.

If anything, you can use this game to assess who is the 3rd seamer between Hasnain & Dahani if both are healthy and between Fakhar/Haider.

 

[alishahid]

Oh Haris the wicketkeeper is not in the squad. Then no option but to play rizwan.

Mohammed Rizwan (wk)
Fakhar Zaman
Babar Azam (c)
Haider Ali
Ifthikar Ahmed
Asif Ali / Kushdil Shah
Mohammed Nawaz
Hassan Ali
Haris Rauf
Shahnawaz Dahani
Usman Qadir

 

[Titan24]

Its a dead rubber/warm up kind of match so some players can be rested. Rizwan, Shadab, Naseem and Rauf in my opinion.

Babar (C)
Fakhar (WK) (I think he has done bit of keeping)
Haider
Iftikhar
Khushdil
Asif
Nawaz
Hassan
Qadir
Dahani (If fit)
Hasnain

 

[Colorblind Genius]

So Pakistan now in the final - time to rest some players but do we have enough backups?

Should Hassan Ali be given a chance to play now?

Hassan Ali?
In place of who?

We need to give a chance Haider Ali instead of Khaffadil Shah

 

[Marooned]

Haider Ali certainly should play and play up the order.

Is Dahani fit again? If yes, get him in because surely he needs to start the finals. We can rest Naseem.

Usman Qadir in.

Most importantly, bat 1st!

Imo, Dahani is clearly ahead of Hasnain if fit.

 

[Ami]

spot on

exactly

 

[Shaddy86]

Use this match for a shoot out between the bench and underperforming players. Haider Vs Fakhar, Iftikhar and Khushdil.

Bench Shadab, get Iftikhar and Khushdil to bowl 2 each.

Dahani Vs Hasnain Vs Hassan Ali.

Pakistan should bat first and look to bat Srilanka out of the game because we know that if Sri Lanka wins the Toss on Sunday they'll be chasing so you might as well prepare for that.

 

[Rana]

Would love to see Fakhar and Haider open, score 60-0 in 6 overs

 

[Saj]

May as well give some of the fringe players a chance against Sri Lanka.

The likes of Haider Ali etc.

 

[Kianig89]

One outta Fakhar/Khushdil should be replaced can't carry 2 passengers, resting the pace battery anyone Haris or Naseem may be not sure

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

One change, chacha iftikhar OUT haider ali IN.

 

[Suleiman]

Someone please explain to me who or what Iftikhar Ahmed is that he continues to find a place in the team. Is everyone in our domestic scene dead and he’s the last guy alive to make up the numbers or what?

 

[indianpanacea]

I will suggest absolutely no change.jus keep the winning momentum going.yes Pak should try to bat first and defend total and may be jus shuffle batting order a bit like
Babar
Rizwan
Fakhar
Khushdil
Iftikhar
Nawaz
Shahdab
Naseem
Husnain
Rouf

 

[indianpanacea]

& yes for England series would love a couple of changes
Babar
Rizwan
Fakhar
Shaan Masood
Iftikhar
Azam Khan
Wasim jnr.
Nawaz
Shahdab
Naseem
Haris
Reserves
Husnain
Khushdil

 

[Duckworth Lewis]

Play the same team and should bat first if they win the toss.

 

[ChTab]

Would love to see Fakhar and Haider open, score 60-0 in 6 overs

Yeah both are sort of brainless especially Haider so it could be 14/2 in 2 overs as well.

 

[shamaan]

Babar
Rizwan
Fakhar
Haider Ali
Iftikhar
Asif Ali
Nawaz
Qadir Shadab looked injured should rest.
Hassan Ali(rest Naseem)
Rauf
Husnain

 

[hitthestump]

Iftikhar plays like a man among boys in domestics so there's that.

And yes the domestic cupboard is obviously empty. Where have you been for the last 6-7 years? Did you not wonder why we kept picking 40 year olds and why Khushdil is still in the team?

 

[Gharib Aadmi]

Pakistan should play the same team unless their is some injury. However should rotate the batting order and let Fakhar come in as opener.

 

[Suleiman]

Khushdil is Dhoni compared to Iftikhar, come on now.
