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

[m.shah]

No way this is 350 wicket

 

[Mockingbird]

Zaman is looking like a deer under headlights here.

People fail to understand just how difficult it is to bat under lights at the best of times, to do it successfully at Colombo, especially after the heavy rain they have had is a very tough ask. As was bowling with a wet outfield, an injured bowler, a semi injured bowler and a bad call at the toss.

Pakistan's best chance is to negate the early seam and swing and to start hitting out post the 10 over or so.

Exactly ball does a lot more under lights what was babar and Co thinking when the choose to ball first?

 

[Devadwal]

Misfield now damn

 

[kron]

Is siraj very good or average? At times he looks dangerous but then some days he just leaks runs.

 

[7sins]

No way this is 350 wicket

Under lights sl pitch does a lot more day light it does nothing

 

[King_Babar]

Time for Babar to prove hes a world class player like virat

He is not, so there is nothing to prove.

 

[Devadwal]

Exactly ball does a lot more under lights what was babar and Co thinking when the choose to ball first?

Wrong chasing is under light is easy

 

[shehz]

What a garbage batting so far. Imam will not win games for Pak when there is a big total. He was trying stat pad again by playing too defensive. No idea what's going on with Fakhar.

 

[Omer2002]

Siraj and Bumrah with 145KPHS ..shaheen and Faheem with 130

 

[castortroy]

Reminds me of Jimmy Anderson v pak in the wc

 

[hamzie]

how are we number 1

 

[Spitfire]

Pakistan's most talked ip opener has failed to get off the mark after facing 11 balls on a flat track.

This is embarrassing

Times 2

 

[Champ_Pal]

Fakar doing the right thing here. Just play out this opening burst from India and cash in when spinners and Shardul/Pandya comes in.

 

[castortroy]

Think they will get 20 overs put here

Congrats India

 

[IAJ]

He is not, so there is nothing to prove.

Funny you are King_Babar lol

 

[Rana]

Beautiful angles by Bumrah against the left handers

 

[King_Babar]

Indian bowlers looks well rested and with plan, they are not there for personal glories.

 

[Thephenom]

We will always have results like this against India until they start playing bilateral series against each other regularly, but that won’t happen under the Indian government

 

[ChTab]

Pakistan is such a pathetic team whenever they're playing against a full strength team

 

[Rana]

What’s pakistan doing here? They will need 270ish in 30 overs if rain does intervene

 

[Devadwal]

Brilliant from bumrah

 

[Swashbuckler]

This is a 260-270 wicket, max. Flatter than the Pallekele one since Pallekele had more uneven bounce and double pace nature. But still very tough, most Sri Lankan pitches are like this, unlike the flatties in Lahore and Mumbai.

 

[SalimBhai]

Swinging like the 70s

 

[Champ_Pal]

Bumrah making the batsmen dance to his tunes at the moment.

 

[emranabbas]

against the number 1 batter in the world?

 

[kron]

Unplayable.

 

[Devadwal]

Babar is doing right things just negotiate bumrah

 

[Rana]

India should quickly get their overs in, 20 overs done and game is theirs

 

[Champ_Pal]

You have to feel for the batsmen. There is nothing they can do against a 140k delivery that can swing both ways.

 

[ChTab]

Babar is pathetic looks like a tail ender vs quality spin, quality seam & express pace. But but he has an average of 60 in ODI's

 

[MP2011]

Bumrah is unplayable, what a comeback from him!

 

[aukhan]

Bumrah is too good for Babar.

 

[Rana]

Babar is doing right things just negotiate bumrah

We are chasing 360 not 260

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

had tuned off....why is KL keeping, after scoring 100? is Ishaan injured? ....we have to play again tommorow against lanka

 

[King_Babar]

Funny you are King_Babar lol

He is, but Virat is emperor. Virat transcends such comparisons by a significant margin.

 

[SalimBhai]

You can’t play those deliveries. Let him bowl his spell

 

[kron]

Good to see great pace again.
Bumrah consistently over 139.
Siraj too bowling fast.

Naseem bumrah siraj shaeen rauf shami chameera lahiru
Lot of quality odi bowlers in Asia.

 

[Markhor]

It's like the first morning of a Test at an overcast Lord's. Perhaps somewhat stung by the criticism after the rain abandoned Kandy match which Pakistan probably edged on points, India have really come out swinging in this match.

Landing some psychological blows before the next encounter even if rain returns.

I know some cannot wait to stick the knife in, but you cannot expect a quality team like India in SC conditions to simply lie down.

Our so-called King needs to make some tough decisions instead of just hiding behind his pacers to save his neck.

 

[The_KING]

What a bowler Bumrah is. Better than any Pakistani bowler since Asif.

 

[kron]

You can’t play those deliveries. Let him bowl his spell

Attack shardul, jadeja pandya instead. Play him out.

 

[Devadwal]

Rain is coming in 10 minutes .damn

 

[MP2011]

Fakhar ia trying his luck.

 

[Major]

Indians bowling is very good, i must say

 

[aukhan]

Finally some runs.

 

[Devadwal]

Why DRS .he edged

 

[Rana]

That looks so out

 

[Thanos]

Siraj doesn't have the patience. Tries too many things.

 

[Spitfire]

Babar is pathetic looks like a tail ender vs quality spin, quality seam & express pace. But but he has an average of 60 in ODI's

I'd let you punters to work that one out...

 

[vprasanna83]

Indians bowling is very good, i must say

Thank you sir

 

[Major]

luckkyyy luckyy luckkyyy..

who is this umpire, havve to say very good umpiring

 

[NeVerMind]

Looks like Fakhar gone too...

 

[PakLFC]

This garbage batting is gonna win the WC for us!

 

[King_Babar]

Review lost ! Fakhar survives.

 

[Devadwal]

Poor reviews and time wasted

 

[NeVerMind]

Pitched outside off...That's Imam style of luck

 

[aukhan]

Lucky...Fakhar.

 

[MP2011]

Poor review.

 

[Devadwal]

Has ball hitting the stumps?

 

[kron]

It's like the Indians don't know the leg side rule lol hah

 

[Thanos]

Sheer luck. Was close to pitch in line. And he would've gone.

 

[kron]

145 from Siraj

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

marginal....but they shouldnt have taken review...

 

[Farabi]

Sensible post

 

[aukhan]

This is what happens when you continue to play against mediocre or B-grade sides.

King BABAR looking like a tailender.

 

[Major]

did india switch keepers? why?

 

[Omer2002]

that was dead out ...so lucky

 

[Swashbuckler]

Fakhar is gritty, may look ugly but knows how to get the job done.

 

[Savak]

Playing against weak sides and strong sides with C/D level bowling attacks has caught up to Pakistan big time.

 

[Devadwal]

did india switch keepers? why?

Becouse we can change from playing eleven

 

[King_Babar]

Sheer luck. Was close to pitch in line. And he would've gone.

First time Pak was lucky in this 2 days match, all the luck favored India since yesterday.

 

[aukhan]

Batting is difficult under lights, don't know why Babar decided to bowl first.

 

[ChTab]

This garbage batting is gonna win the WC for us!

Bowling is not that great either. Aus, Eng , Ind all have superior attack

 

[Major]

what a shot by babar azam

 

[Swashbuckler]

did india switch keepers? why?

Maybe to give practice to KL Rahul who will be our primary keeper in the WC. Since he was out for so long due to injury and we have very few ODIs left before the WC.

 

[Devadwal]

Fakhar is now looking comfortable

 

[aukhan]

Batting is difficult under lights, don't know why Babar decided to bowl first.

We would have done better bowling second.

 

[msb314]

Seems like swing has stopped

 

[Nado_]

Can everyone just stop about calling players tail ender based on Bumrah spell.

If you bothered to watch the match properly he’s bowling some jaffas. Name me a player who can just take on that kind of spell.

Ball will lose its shine and then let’s see.

Have to give credit to Indian bowlers , aside from the wides they have been on pinpoint precision .

 

[Major]

Maybe to give practice to KL Rahul who will be our primary keeper in the WC. Since he was out for so long due to injury and we have very few ODIs left before the WC.

Kishan wont be the starting keeper?
