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

[vprasanna83]

So what you guys think now - would Pakistan have chased 266 in last game?

This pitch was supposedly flat and the guys had already declared Kohli and Gill as Flat track bullies !

That pitch that day was actually a green top

 

[Adi_62945]

Agha is looking like a clown

 

[Devadwal]

So what you guys think now - would Pakistan have chased 266 in last game?

They were not going to chase but who knows let's forget that

 

[castortroy]

Men v boys

Truely embarrassing

 

[Swashbuckler]

Chasing under lights is so so tough in Sri Lanka. Think even 220-230 can be a winning total in the final, because of added pressure.

 

[castortroy]

Agha is looking like a clown

This guy wouldnt get into the Windies team let alone any of the top teams

 

[Devadwal]

Dumb captain....bring spinners man. Need to get to 20 overs somehow

Yes Im really angry just complete 20 over first

 

[Deewana Mastana]

37 more overs until the end of day's play. We can get close to their first innings score by tomorrow morning

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Agha ji off the mark after 6 balls lol

 

[Kaptan]

So what you guys think now - would Pakistan have chased 266 in last game?

220 all out at max

 

[Major]

what is salman agha doing?

 

[Swashbuckler]

Will be funny if rain returns on 18th over. Why would you not bowl at least a spinner from one end? Jadeja completes his over in under a minute quite often.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Chowka by agha ji

 

[Shafi]

whole batting is garbage. Apart from Babar who himself is average batter others are just rubbish/ Even Bangladesh has better batsman than Imam, Rizwan, Fakhar

 

[Rajdeep]

Imagine it rains in 19th over. Just give the ball to Jadeja yaar.

 

[sweep_shot]

I think shortened game is good for Pakistan now. Can reduce the margin of defeat and protect NRR.

 

[7sins]

Ball is still doing it what a dumb decision by babar to bat underlights. And plus he been in sri lanka for last 7 weeks and still don't know about that

 

[sweep_shot]

Imagine it rains in 19th over. Just give the ball to Jadeja yaar.

Surprised that they are not bowling spinners to get those 20 overs.

 

[Marooned]

So what you guys think now - would Pakistan have chased 266 in last game?

Yes. I'd not be worried if we had to chase 267 even today with full overs without over deductions.

 

[Shafi]

This Fakhar is finished still PCB persists with so as Babar and drama queen Micky

 

[Devadwal]

Rohit what r u doing?

 

[KingKhanWC]

One sided boring match.

Glad this humiliation is taking place.

Next time have some self respect and play at home when its your right or dont play.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Fakhar with no feet movement, looks like tailender

 

[Spitfire]

wait a minute. A pakistani player is sponsored by SS??? damnn

Sareen Sports (SS) from Meerut, UP it is.

Winds of change are in the air!

 

[7sins]

India needs 6 more overs and that's it

 

[Fazzy321]

Chalo bhai match done. We will take our revenge in final

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

5 wides

 

[Shafi]

Rohit what r u doing?

Rain isn't coming in next 20 overs by then we'll be all out

 

[sweep_shot]

5 wides.

India have bowled a lot of wides today. 14 wides in 14.1 overs.

 

[Shafi]

Chalo bhai match done. We will take our revenge in final

We still have to win against SL. SL isn't that bad you think

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

5 wides.

India have bowled a lot of wides today.

14 wides so far

 

[emranabbas]

if these 2 can get a partnership of 150 + we be ok

 

[7sins]

Dumb captaincy by rohit. I don't think agha will last long against kuldeep

 

[castortroy]

Hardik is a better bowler than most of the pak bowlers

 

[vprasanna83]

Pandya bowling this way is a force multiplier for India

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Fakhar lol lol lol cluesless

 

[Asif321]

Pakistan will have pressure of expectations in WC and will collapse .

 

[castortroy]

if these 2 can get a partnership of 150 + we be ok

The ball is swinging around everywhere. We will be luck to make 150

 

[Major]

Hardik is a better bowler than most of the pak bowlers

no he is not

 

[Devadwal]

Fakhar is still struggling?? Strange

 

[Fazzy321]

Fakhar is still struggling?? Strange

Out of form

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan didn't bowl well. This is not a 350 pitch.

 

[7sins]

Surely we have to drop fakhar and todaywill be last chance for agha

 

[MenInG]

no he is not

The bolnay mai kiya harj hai thing so dont worry about it

 

[Mamoon]

Only thing consistent about Rizwan is his acting and exaggerations of injuries.

 

[7sins]

Pakistan didn't bowl well. This is not a 350 pitch.

True but day time batting conditions were great and we also missed Haris 5 overs which costed us another 50 runs

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Ohhh wow what a ball, execellent stuff by hardik

 

[TheNeutralist]

Rizwan plays better as an opener

 

[sweep_shot]

5 more overs and we have a game.

 

[7sins]

After 20 overs I want rain to stay away so these batters can have some practice against India bowling

 

[vprasanna83]

Phew ! This is breathtaking from Pandya

 

[Devadwal]

I told you guys during Indian innings that it is not a 300 runs pitch .it's 250 runs pitch but Pakistan Pacers bowled poor

 

[Ahmed216]

Fakhar lol lol lol cluesless

It does seam around a bit under lights in Colombo because it is situated at the coast.
That makes Babar's decision even more deplorable
Today there's additional advantage of cloud cover to the bowlers.

 

[7sins]

Rizwan plays better as an opener

Can we really do that drop fakhar for Rizwan and bring in saud Shakeel?

 

[Omer2002]

Rizwan shud be dropped bring haris and drop.fakhar

 

[vprasanna83]

If only India had played Shami on this wicket !

 

[Shafi]

To be honest Nepal has better batsmen than us. They scored 230 against India with so little experience and limited facilities.

 

[Shafi]

Rizwan shud be dropped bring haris and drop.fakhar

Haris is even worse. He is a blind slogger.

 

[Devadwal]

To be honest Nepal has better batsmen than us. They scored 230 against India with so little experience and limited facilities.

Bro intensity matters

 

[vprasanna83]

The ball does seem to do a lot under lights in SL . Even the Nepal bowlers were getting a lot of help initially

 

[Shafi]

no he is not

Problem is our batsmen are associate level, so any decent bowler will be successful against us

 

[Asad T]

Salman and Fakhar have a lot to prove to maintain their side in the xi. This is a good opportunity for them to prove themselves

 

[coooolali]

This is embarrassing. They are not even trying to go for win.

 

[vprasanna83]

Sorry , but Salman Agha doesn’t seem to belong to this level

 

[Devadwal]

Bowl is still moving?

 

[Major]

has pakistan already given up? what are they doing?

 

[Adi_62945]

Pakistan is waiting for rain or what.

 

[shokz1408]

really poor intent shown thus far, dead batting most balls.

 

[7sins]

Last chance for fakhar/agha to secure world cup spot I can see inzi dropping nawaz/fakhar/agha

 

[Thanos]

What has happened Pandya today. Unplayable at times.

 

[Major]

Problem is our batsmen are associate level, so any decent bowler will be successful against us

again no.

just knee jerk reaction. This game has been played on 48 hours with alot of rain breaks. Pakistan is mentally no there as they lost the momentum during their fielding. With the patches filled with dirt and all, Pakistan is not in it mentally.

 

[Shafi]

Bro intensity matters

Exactly!!! Even Afghanistan, Bangladesh play with more intent than ours. We win 95% matches due to bowling. Babar is just an upgrade version of Azhar Ali with so little impact on oppositions.

 

[mrtaim3]

This is just torture. Many a times we said that we don't care if you lose but lose with intent. At least tryyy for Gods sake!

 

[Devadwal]

Fakhar is leaving ?

 

[Major]

Exactly!!! Even Afghanistan, Bangladesh play with more intent than ours. We win 95% matches due to bowling. Babar is just an upgrade version of Azhar Ali with so little impact on oppositions.

again no he is not.

Just because we lose todays game, doesnt take anything away from Babar

typical knee jerk reaction

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

4 dots in a row

 

[vprasanna83]

again no.

just knee jerk reaction. This game has been played on 48 hours with alot of rain breaks. Pakistan is mentally no there as they lost the momentum during their fielding. With the patches filled with dirt and all, Pakistan is not in it mentally.

That’s fine but can’t hide serious weaknesses against seam . The ball is just seaming a little bit now and the middle order looks clueless

 

[MenInG]

Hardik Pandya to Fakhar Zaman, no run, angled outside off, Zaman lifts his bat and lets it go

==

What is Fakhar doing?

 

[Major]

rrr is now 8+

 

[Ahmed216]

Fakhars pathetic form continues. Always been poor technically and his only hope is that his mid wicket slogs come off
