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

[Shafi]

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.

Let India batsmen play they will dominate again. Our batsmen are not good enough to play well against decent bowlers

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Can't hit 132+kph balls

 

[PakPremi]

no he is not

Typical Pakistani fans, when the team is losing every player is worst in the world or clown.

 

[7sins]

Fakhar is terrible. I still think indian flat pitches will suit him

 

[Rajdeep]

Fakhar is looking to attack now...coming down the track and all. Basically showing intent

 

[Champ_Pal]

Its very difficult to bat in these conditions.

The best Pakistan can hope is for Fakar to hit some form going into WC. He is Pakistan's most dangerous batsman after Babar.

 

[Devadwal]

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.

Babar is class batsman but he is not going to chase 350 target .he has limits which everyone knows

 

[Shafi]

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

Fakhar is long gone. Never rate this guy at all

 

[Major]

Let India batsmen play they will dominate again. Our batsmen are not good enough to play well against decent bowlers

did they dominate last week? no they did not.

 

[Thanos]

Seems rain is not coming soon. Sharma would've given ball to Jaddu by now else.
Bowling as per 50 over plan

 

[Yati]

again no he is not.

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

typical knee jerk reaction

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

Then why didn't Bangladesh beat Pakistan in the last game. Can we stop overreacting. Pakistani fans have no credibility, just knee jerk reaction to every situation.

 

[Omer2002]

I am very confused clearly they have been instructed....they are blocking and leaving everything. Match is done and dusted now as 20 overs are complete so why this approach now

 

[Asad T]

Fakhar is looking to attack now...coming down the track and all. Basically showing intent

Yeah, so hard to attack when the ball is moving so much
Maybe he should bat 2 steps outside the crease to negate some movement and just go for it

 

[Rafay586]

Babar missed the trick it was batting first deck. Even Shanka was troubling in last game. Conditions > Strengthen

 

[Asad T]

I am very confused clearly they have been instructed....they are blocking and leaving everything. Match is done and dusted now as 20 overs are complete so why this approach now

Maybe its to salvage the NRR?

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Dropped

 

[Omer2002]

did they dominate last week? no they did not.

They didnt dominate but in my opinion we would never have chased the 267

 

[Devadwal]

did they dominate last week? no they did not.

267 was enough target on that pitch .this is easy pitch compared to last game

 

[Marooned]

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.

Correct. This game doesn't even feel like a game anymore. Million interruptions over two days, fielding in atrocious conditions and injuring 3 fast bowlers.

It's a farce from start to end.

 

[Asad T]

Finally, Fakhar has batted deep enough to see spin loll
Let's see how he goes against Kuldeep

 

[7sins]

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

Little bit? Even after 18 overs it's doing alot

 

[Shafi]

Babar is class batsman but he is not going to chase 350 target .he has limits which everyone knows

But he always fail to score under pressure. He was failed in Asia Cup final last time so as World Cup semi and finals. He only performs against weak players

 

[Thanos]

Dropped

 

[sweto]

Fakhir must be dropped from playing eleven.
He is the bad apple

 

[Major]

They didnt dominate but in my opinion we would never have chased the 267

yes we would have

 

[Asad T]

But he always fail to score under pressure. He was failed in Asia Cup final last time so as World Cup semi and finals. He only performs against weak players

That's why its even more important for him to bat first

 

[Usman Chadda]

Something doesn’t feel right here. They are not even attempting to go for it.

 

[mrtaim3]

Something doesn’t feel right here. They are not even attempting to go for it.

Just too scared i guess

 

[7sins]

Don't think pak batters will pick kuldeep they don't play him enough and it's hard to play chinaman first time

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Something doesn’t feel right here. They are not even attempting to go for it.

Yup, no game plan at all.

 

[Shafi]

With this pathetic innings Fakhar will now play whole World Cup and fail miserably.

 

[Devadwal]

But he always fail to score under pressure. He was failed in Asia Cup final last time so as World Cup semi and finals. He only performs against weak players

Yes he has failed in some game but won a lots game for Pakistan . I always respect class player no matter which team they play

 

[Major]

these both are playing for a world cup spot... what a joke of a match

 

[Swashbuckler]

Kuldeep getting turn on this pitch, with the wet ball. He and Hardik are key if India wants to win the WC, our fans underestimate their importance.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

99 out of 100 shots of our batsman finds fielder somehow

 

[NeVerMind]

Maybe playing the same match over two days has confused the batsmen thinking this is a test match....this is the only explanation I can think of watching the tuk tuk from Fakhar and Salman...

 

[Aviator]

These lot are just scared of India... Even Bangladesh give India a fight...Pakistan has already made up its mind that they can't beat India.

 

[Major]

This is going to get alot of criticism, pakistan is showig 0 intent. They are playing a test game here

 

[JattMaula]

Kishan is an excellent outfielder. Really quick and strong, accurate throwing arm.

 

[PakPremi]

They didnt dominate but in my opinion we would never have chased the 267

Pakistan would had chased as the momentum was with Pakistan, today's it's Indians day.

 

[MenInG]

This is going to get alot of criticism, pakistan is showig 0 intent. They are playing a test game here

Some sort of NRR strategy?

 

[vprasanna83]

Little bit? Even after 18 overs it's doing alot

Each ball is only 9 over old . The odd ball is nipping around but Naseem was getting it to seam even in the 43rd over !

 

[Rajdeep]

These lot are just scared of India... Even Bangladesh give India a fight...Pakistan has already made up its mind that they can't beat India.

Oh hello....but Najam Sethi said on Twitter India is afraid to play Pakistan

 

[NeVerMind]

The only way to play is keeping the DLS score on mind and making sure we are near it...but no such planning from Pakistan

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Some sort of NRR strategy?

Yeah might end up with 290-4 (50 overs)

 

[Rajdeep]

Bowled...Fakhar gone

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Fakhar bowled lol

 

[vprasanna83]

You have to take some proactive steps in situations like this . In the last over , Fakhar tried to be a little positive and suddenly the wicket looks better .

Can’t allow bowlers to keep hitting length when chasing a target like this

 

[Major]

Thank god.

I want to see ifti bat

 

[NeVerMind]

Fakhar gone trying to hoick Kuldeep...awful innings from a has been player

 

[7sins]

Knew it fakhar won't pickup kuldeep awful awful innings

 

[Shafi]

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

Fakhar scored 27 and will be playing in World Cup

 

[Champ_Pal]

Very poor shot from Fakar. His misery is over.

 

[RainStopsPlay]

Fakhar and Babar are Kuldeep's bunnies! It was piece of cake for Kuldeep to set him up.

 

[Asad T]

and he is supposed to be good against spin lollll

 

[TheNeutralist]

ifti mania!

 

[vprasanna83]

That was a poor shot ! Slog down the wrong line and not to the pitch of the ball . Where are the basics ?

Just a normal ball that !

 

[shokz1408]

Well that disaster of an innings is over. Hopefully some entertainment in the form of Iftimania.

 

[Swashbuckler]

Kuldeep has a great record against Fakhar, Babar and Rizwan, not talked about often. Any other team he would have been mainstay, we held him back to favor the useless Chahal.

 

[uncanny]

Last 10 ODis, Ind 8, Pak 2. Including today's ODI

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

It was a nothing ball...

 

[Champ_Pal]

Conditions are tough, but Pakistani batsmen have gone into a shell and allowed Indian bowlers to settle and dictate terms to them.

 

[Devadwal]

Finally fakhar inning come to the end

 

[Thephenom]

Please someone put him out of his misery and drop Zaman!

Pakistan making rubbish spinners look like Shane Warne!

 

[NeVerMind]

It was a nothing ball...

Even CricInfo said the same... a ball that did nothing

 

[Rajdeep]

20 overs done...now we got a game

 

[Devadwal]

20 over completed .now I can freely enjoy the match

 

[TheSultan]

Aur karo…

People were celebrating no1!

Babar’s average
Imam’s average
Rizwan’s average

Not only have they lost. They have looked like complete amateurs.

Can’t play pace, can’t play seam, can’t play swing, can’t play spin

 

[sweto]

Sub standard team selection
Still giving favour to perchi players.
Captain have no courage to make decisions
A lot to change for WC

 

[NeVerMind]

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

 

[7sins]

Sub standard team selection
Still giving favour to perchi players.
Captain have no courage to make decisions
A lot to change for WC

Nawaz, fakhar, agha is droppable for sure

 

[Shafi]

According to Babar Hayat "Babar is so called king and Shaheen no. 1 due to playing C/D teams."

 

[Major]

Aur karo…

People were celebrating no1!

Babar’s average
Imam’s average
Rizwan’s average

Not only have they lost. They have looked like complete amateurs.

Can’t play pace, can’t play seam, can’t play swing, can’t play spin

and people rightly celebrated. It was a celebration moment. We will lose games, its not like we will win all. But losing doesnt mean you discredit every achievement of the team.

For you everyone is average, yet you are here still watching the game for what than?

 

[Devadwal]

Sub standard team selection
Still giving favour to perchi players.
Captain have no courage to make decisions
A lot to change for WC

This is best possible Pakistan team

 

[F16]

Last 10 ODis, Ind 8, Pak 2. Including today's ODI

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 .

 

[Zerotohero]

Batting conditions becoming better now. Hope ifti will slog and hit a few to make the game interesting. Don't know how this Salman is in the team? Doesn't pak have better batsmen in FC?

 

[GLORY OF '92]

"Pakistan Way"

 

[MisbahTheGreat]

We need to play for NRR and reduce magnitude of defeat now

 

[Devadwal]

Why no helmet ? Unfortunately

 

[Major]

rrr at 9.5
