Asia Cup 2023: Pakistan (128) suffer a massive 228-run defeat against India (356/2) in the Super 4 clash

[NeVerMind]

Salamn Agha sweeps the ball onto his face and start bleeding...

 

[KingKhanWC]

Ouch, brings back memories for myself. That does hurt even though it looks slow.

 

[Swashbuckler]

Looks nasty, hope it isn't serious.

 

[Major]

oh shoot. thats gotta hurt man

 

[Rajdeep]

This is sad to see on a cricket field. Wearing helmet should be made mandatory.

 

[Zerotohero]

Wow sweeping spinners without helmet. Great thinking. Basic should be taught to some modern batsman .

 

[7sins]

Sub him for concussion for Mohammad haris

 

[Rana]

What a disastrous match

Completely derailed our WC preparation

 

[Zerotohero]

Sub him for concussion for Mohammad haris

That is for concussion. There is no sub for brainlessness. Sweeping without helmet.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

So avoidable - just wear a helmet. Unfortunate and it doesn't help Pak's cause in this match nor a bit of batting practice in the middle for himself.

 

[emranabbas]

Why no helmet ? Unfortunately

we don't have money to buy helmets

 

[Major]

What a disastrous match

Completely derailed our WC preparation

no it did not. we just lost one game.

 

[MSaad1237]

Pathetic

 

[TheSultan]

Get Rizwan to open with Imam and bring in Saud Shakeel in the middle

You mean Rizwan the genius who closed the face of a ball outside off stump ?

 

[AAli98]

Someone should have told this parchii wear a helmet at all times !!

 

[Rana]

no it did not. we just lost one game.

This is not ‘Just a loss’

It’s a statement. India mean business. This was a 260 pitch and we let them score 360, and took only 2 wickets

 

[vprasanna83]

no it did not. we just lost one game.

Good to see you stoic and confident as ever

 

[Devadwal]

Please don't play now, get a Substitution ( Saud shakeel)

 

[Rana]

You mean Rizwan the genius who closed the face of a ball outside off stump ?

Yeah let him open actually, maybe that will truly be the end of him if nepotism doesn’t take effect

 

[LegendAli]

why does Kuldeep always look so nervous and anxious?

 

[Thephenom]

Nice to see PTV sports caring about one of its players by going to multiple adverts

 

[emranabbas]

calm down people don't matter if we lose this one we will beat sri lanka and will be in finals and then batter india black and blue no need to make any effrot now just chill

 

[Ahmed216]

Indian batsmen are beasts on good batting surfaces. Pak had no chance from the outset

 

[Kaptan]

It could have been disastrous. He is luck that there it's just a cut.

 

[Devadwal]

we don't have money to buy helmets

This is not time for joking.

 

[Rana]

4 players left injured

3 players left mentally shocked

 

[Usman Chadda]

calm down people don't matter if we lose this one we will beat sri lanka and will be in finals and then batter india black and blue no need to make any effrot now just chill

We will get mauled by Sri Lanka. This is the Pakistan of old, they have gone into their shell and allowing the bowlers to bowl to them.

Haris and Naseem not available against Sri Lanka either.

 

[HateKiller]

As an Indian fan, I don't feel safe until Iftikhar or Nawaz are batting. Ifti has the calibre to win from any situation.

 

[Ahmed216]

When did u start watching cricket?

 

[Ali Active]

U win some U lose some but the way pakistan goes into kitten mode is sad to see its almost like when u attack them they will drop their weapons

 

[MenInG]

Too much being read in one game

Happens.

Credit to India for their stranglehold

 

[Deewana Mastana]

89 dot balls

 

[Devadwal]

As an Indian fan, I don't feel safe until Iftikhar or Nawaz are batting. Ifti has the calibre to win from any situation.

It's not a T20 match so a little Cameo from anyone can win the match

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Big respect for Salman for not chickening out and at least staying out there even thought the match is lost.

 

[Shafi]

Sl can easily beat this armature team. Go home so don't want to see another shameful defeat like this

 

[Swashbuckler]

India will be tired for tomorrow's game against Sri Lanka

Pak may be too demoralized before their next game against Sri Lanka

One constant in Asia Cup has been Sri Lanka being one of the finalists in almost every edition. Once again?

 

[Champ_Pal]

why does Kuldeep always look so nervous and anxious?

Because he always gets replaced by Mr.Muscles Chahal for unknown reasons.

 

[Major]

no intent

 

[vprasanna83]

They aren’t reading Kuldeep

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Good to see you stoic and confident as ever

Reminds me of Misbah the captain before every ICC tournament no matter how rubbish his team was.

 

[KingKhanWC]

So avoidable - just wear a helmet. Unfortunate and it doesn't help Pak's cause in this match nor a bit of batting practice in the middle for himself.

I think batsmen feel they have better sight against spin without a helmet. Play with a straight bat, this wont happen or very unlikely.

 

[Shafi]

Just don't play Shaheen against SL. We already lost Haris and Nasim.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Bumrah escorted it to boundary nicely.

An injury is not worth a boundary I guess

 

[Devadwal]

Good from bumrah . don't take any risk

 

[Major]

Reminds me of Misbah the captain before every ICC tournament no matter how rubbish his team was.

has lo has lo, ajj din hai tumarah

 

[Ahmed216]

Every chance if SL bat first against Pak

 

[emranabbas]

This is not time for joking.

that's what you guys are fed with in India just telling you what you like to hear

 

[NeVerMind]

Against the Lankans, get in Usama and Saud in...we need to try them out...Riz can open and Usama can come in for an injured pacer...

 

[SM1989]

no it did not. we just lost one game.

This isn't a loss. This is a humiliation of gigantic proportions. It can suck all the confidence out of the players.

 

[mominsaigol]

Everyone here is once again critising for the sake of critising. How many times do I have to repeat myself, pak trio is amazing but they won't perform in every match.

They aren't the problem, the problem is if they fail, we don't have anyone to compliment them, and if the succeed, very likely the other bowlers will just put pressure on then as they'll allow teams to recover.

Shadab, ifti, agha, Nawaz, faheem, these lads are terrible bowlers lol.

As for our imam and Babar, their fine, they ain't the issue, Imam is a good player but he can only function if the other person is functioning, in the past falhar was in form so imam anchored while fakhar struck, they complimented each other well, but thats not the case anymore. And Babar while a good player is not a pressure performing player.

The issue is fakhar at the top, rizwan at no 4 and a horrible middle order in general.

And the funny thing is, it's not like pakistan doesn't have options, We have plenty upon plenty of options but we aren't utilising them for these bits and pieces players.

Why isn't Abdullah opening? He's aggressive, steady and can become an ATG, he's also our best Opener of test and he found his form and rhythm back in Sri Lanka series unlike fakhar who lost it.

Why isn't saud, a genuine middle order no 4 playing? People are forgetting we won the Sri lanka test series because of these 2. Imam, Babar were hilariously bad during that series lol and would have lost us that game.

Why isn't tayyab a genuine middle order at no 5 playing?

Why isn't haris a genuine no 7 playing? Why isn't imad waseem a genuine allrounder playing while shadab a bits and pieces lad is?

Where is abrar? A genuine spinner who has been our best test bowler for a while and deserves a list A call up?

Why isn't ihsanullah or zaman Khan or arshad iqbal or genuine pacers our 4th pacer isn't of faheem?

What about side options like saim ayub? Who while raw could be given a go? 20 as good an age as any?

That's the problem with the side, We have so many options, but we keep playing a plethora of bits and pieces players for no reason?

Yes haris, Saim is raw, Saud is raw for odi, So is Abdullah and tayyab, but that's how you groom a player, but having them play constantly for their country, not shelving them as water boys and occasionally bringing them in.

Our whole team is dependant on Babar and imam performing or our bowling trio doing the work for us, if they fail which they will in some games, Game over.

India however have options, if rohit and kohli fails, ishan or pandya can recover, Gill cam also chip in.

Same with their bowlers, Kudleep and Hardick can cover if bumrah or siraj tend to have an off day. It's the same with England and Australia. They aren't dependant on only 2 batsmen and 3 bowlers in their team to do their work for them.

 

[Devadwal]

Agha is good player against spin

 

[uncanny]

It does not matter much if you treat every game as a new game and give your best and not take the other team for granted and not get over excited with a win or over dejected with a loss . Cut out the Past and Future and learn to focus on the present game and prepare for it and give your best .

I understand that & I agree with you. Win or lose is part of the game but surrendering it this way? Why Pak becomes mentally shot against India? They are certainly beatable.

Pakistan can beat India a game here and there but mostly it's India who wins, in ODIs. It's a fact.

 

[Thanos]

India playing tomorrow against host SL.
Who is this commentator? Deepdas Gupta?

 

[Devadwal]

Need to break this partnership as they are playing nicely

 

[Spitfire]

Someone should have told this parchii wear a helmet at all times !!

Trying to be like Viv Richards.

 

[vprasanna83]

Pak need to get in Saud Shakeel to add solidity to this batting order

 

[Major]

maybe they are trying to tire india as they have a game tomr

 

[AAli98]

Paks pace trio are overrated indisciplined, good players will just wait on em they’ll give you a couple of hit me balls n over.

 

[Shafi]

Just announce the playing Eleven 24 hours earlier and opposition can do all the homework. Its like giving questions to students 4 hours before the exam

 

[pratiktc]

350 was out of question once Babar failed but Fakhar inns by any standard was abysmal.

Ifti and Salman should use this as an opportunity and make a score. Result wise nothing to get from this game but if they can get some confidence atleast can salvage something.

 

[LegendAli]

This isn't a loss. This is a humiliation of gigantic proportions. It can suck all the confidence out of the players.

Champions Trophy 2017 Game 1 vs India...

and we all know what happend afterwards.

 

[Devadwal]

Gone

 

[Major]

gone?

 

[vprasanna83]

Out

 

[7sins]

Agha can't play sweep shotbut still gets out playing sweep shot this guy should be replaced with saud Shakeel for rest of the Asia Cup and world cup

 

[Major]

umpiring has bee good for tis 2 day match

 

[sweep_shot]

96/5.

Agha departs.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

I said 150 run loss but might have underestimated how terrible we are. Possibly 200 + loss now.

 

[Ahmed216]

Agha was batting like a tailender. But but but he is better than Saud because he can bowl. Babar u should be ashamed of keeping ur test double centurion out on these wickets. Saud is best batsman in Pakistan. He is better than Babar. And he'll prove it if and when he gets his chance

 

[Adi_62945]

they lost the match day before yesterday when they all were mingling with kohli. Agha was getting too cute with kohli and trying to get his attention by telling him that he used to message him on insta and his big fan.

 

[MisbahTheGreat]

Will we get 160 and avoid 200 run defeat?

 

[Swashbuckler]

Agha should get his injury taken care of first, much more important than a game.

 

[hitthestump]

This isn't a loss. This is a humiliation of gigantic proportions. It can suck all the confidence out of the players.

We were overconfident before this game so this might level us before the tournament.

This game has done a superb job of identifying and exploiting our weaknesses to the absolute max.

Credit to India for beating us so badly.

 

[Shafi]

Another Parchi is gone!!! Looks like Pakistan will play same team on 14 with half fit and out of form players

 

[Devadwal]

Still Pakistan fan's are think we would have won the last game .lol

 

[Marooned]

Just don't play Shaheen against SL. We already lost Haris and Nasim.

What do you mean? We have lost Shaheen too.

He got injured in the very second over.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan has the pace attack. But their spin is poor compared to Zampas, Santners, Kuldeeps, Maharajas, Shakibs.

 

[Fazzy321]

Pakistan is not even trying to win just gave up from ball one. I thought we were atleast gonna get some stat padding but none of that

 

[sweep_shot]

Kuldeep is bowling well.

4-0-8-2.

 

[Major]

Still Pakistan fan's are think we would have won the last game .lol

yes. that game was different this is different
