Asia Cup 2023: Pakistan vs India | Match 3 | 2 September | Pallakele | India innings

[Farabi]

Iyer struggles against bouncer. It was a trap which could have gone either way.

Yup. No way Fakhar was catching that otherwise. He was ready for it

 

[Nado_]

Thanks Gill , please keep eating more dots

 

[Saj]

Naseem has been superb.

Very unlucky not to have a wicket.

Surprised he was taken off mid-spell.

 

[hitthestump]

Rizwan's keeping is extraordinary.

Just imagine Azam Khan keeping to these late swinging balls.

 

[chinaman00]

More drizzles. I think we will see a shortened game inevitably.

 

[Firebat]

Stunned to see Shaheen and Naseem dominating this Kishan and Gill into tuk tuk, they look like Viv and Lara in IPL??

 

[Major]

oh cmoe on not much rain

 

[shariqnoor]

No way should India be playing at 5 rpo in these conditions. Pakistan bowlers have given way too many unnecessary runs here. Thankfully 3 wickets so far have been their compensation.

 

[Inswing]

And another delay damnnn

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Wasim Akram is such an awful commentator. He is there as Pakistan expert but is clueless.

 

[JattMaula]

Rain again!

Why would Hitman chose to bat first?

 

[chinaman00]

Wasim Akram is such an awful commentator. He is there as Pakistan expert but is clueless.

Wasim Akram is a prove that just because you are a good player doesn’t mean you become a good commentator or a coach. He doesn’t even put any effort.

 

[Major]

shaheen afridi economy is at 2.8 and he started at 5-6

 

[CricVet]

As a Pak, I don't care if we gave away 7 an over in the PP. As long as we keep on getting wickets at a regular interval, we should end up winning this.

 

[shamaan]

Let's be honest it was a lucky wicket

You make your own luck it was a surprise element first bounce he bowled.

 

[Major]

covers being removed

 

[Ab Fan]

It will be a rain affected game. India's run rate is not bad, won't mind it to become a 40 over game.

 

[ex-q-zit]

200+ is a winning score against pakistani batsmen

I think you are speaking about a Pakistani team 10 years ago but this team relishes chasing.

 

[shamaan]

No way should India be playing at 5 rpo in these conditions. Pakistan bowlers have given way too many unnecessary runs here. Thankfully 3 wickets so far have been their compensation.

They searching for wickets pluss they had 2 slips so they are taking risk.

 

[shamaan]

shaheen afridi economy is at 2.8 and he started at 5-6

Definitely I think Morkel had some impact on changing his game plan (out swinger)

 

[ChTab]

I think covers being removed but surely it was an unnecessary interruption, they could have left them play it was a light drizzle

 

[Marooned]

shaheen afridi economy is at 2.8 and he started at 5-6

Absolutely worldclass spell after interruption. Made everyone look stupid. Unreal skill.

 

[Markhor]

At what point are we going to start losing overs ?

 

[PakPremi]

Still waiting.....

I did say they will put him down and then he too quietens them.

 

[Marooned]

Naseem has bowled very nicely too.

 

[apnapind]

I think you are speaking about a Pakistani team 10 years ago but this team relishes chasing.

Ya prople still think its a old pak team this team loves chasing

 

[MenInG]

At what point are we going to start losing overs ?

Broadcasters ($$$) will say tomorrow

 

[ex-q-zit]

Ya prople still think its a old pak team this team loves chasing

Its common to remember failures more than successes. Anything below 250 is Pakistan's game to lose. Because of the wet outfield the bowlers will find it hard to grip the ball. Which begs the question what made rohit and babar think batting first was a good option.

 

[Shafi]

Great bowling so far. As long as we keep India under 200 we have a good chance to win considering 2 good knock from Fakhar and Babar.

 

[MenInG]

At what point are we going to start losing overs ?

ACC say no reduction in overs

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Pak could have played ashraf here rather than a spinner

Fahim is basically Scott Styris level bowler.

Hasan Ali would have been much better (if he's bowling well in the domestic now) a better batter and a better bowler.

 

[CricVet]

Can this be the game for Fakhar to get tuned for the WC. If he manages to get 50, he will be back!

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

By Kishan

 

[MenInG]

By Kishan

Was touch and go for a little while

 

[Champ_Pal]

Just tuned in. As expected, India lost Rohit and Kohli to the new ball. Rohit simply cannot play left arm quick who can swing the ball into the batsman. He is a sitting duck against new ball.
India needed a left handed batsman to face the new ball.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Nice to see Mr Gautam Gambhir commentating alongside legend Wasim Akram.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

India need Rishabh Pant back as an opener.

 

[MenInG]

Nice to see Mr Gautam Gambhir commentating alongside legend Wasim Akram.

One of them is giving actual insights...

 

[boomboomcheema]

Runs continue to flow no brakes applied.

 

[PakPremi]

Remove the extras then runs scored by Indian batsmen is poor.

 

[JattMaula]

Lucky boundary Kishan.

 

[ChTab]

Naseem is so unlucky very good bowling

 

[Major]

time to bring on spin from one of the otehr ends

 

[CricVet]

Lucky runs

 

[chinaman00]

With so much ball movement, it’s puzzling to understand why there is no 2nd slip. Strange captaincy by Babar.

 

[Champ_Pal]

If India can somehow eek out 275, it can be a winning total on this pitch. Indian bowling is pretty good too.

 

[ChTab]

Remove the extras then runs scored by Indian batsmen is poor.

in the end extras also count

 

[Nado_]

Keep going for wickets run rate not an issue

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Perfect time to look for a mankad

 

[Nado_]

How does Gill and Kishan play spin ?

 

[heddie19]

time to bring on spin from one of the otehr ends

Haur koi hukam sir jee?

 

[boomboomcheema]

India continue to score freely even after losing 3 wickets..

 

[Major]

shuld keep pace from one end i guess, maybe allow haris to bowl

 

[Major]

Haur koi hukam sir jee?

haris kay 5 puray karlo spell mein

 

[Nado_]

How do these two play spin , asking our Indian experts

 

[ex-q-zit]

Haur koi hukam sir jee?

I think he makes sense. If it rains and overs are lost than pakistan will be in a situation where its fast bowlers have bowled most of their quota. So introducing spin isn't a a bad option.

 

[ex-q-zit]

How do these two play spin , asking our Indian experts

Shubman is OK but Ishan attacks spin. Having said that he may play cautiously given the situation.

 

[Major]

hahahah shubman gilll ahahahha

 

[JattMaula]

Gills torture ends!

 

[Major]

How do these two play spin , asking our Indian experts

how to get out to pacers, ask our bowlers

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Gillu gone

 

[ChTab]

Finally the tail ender gone

 

[CricVet]

Goodluck Facing media now Gill. Bye bye for now

 

[Markhor]

Gill's agony is over. I shudder to think of the reaction if a PAK batsman played that innings.

 

[Nado_]

Weird shot there by Gill played that like a tail ender

 

[heddie19]

haris kay 5 puray karlo spell mein

Yeh lein, I think Captain Bobby is listening to you. Prince Gill to Prince biscuit nikla

 

[Inswing]

Gill misery is over now

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

It seems none of our players have watched Gadar 2.

 

[hamzie]

finish them

 

[Usman Chadda]

First time watching this Gill bat, what a terrible display, almost tail-ender like.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Gill has been sucking since the WI tour. He never looked comfortable in WI too.

 

[SalimBhai]

Very poor quality coverage. Does lot feel like a big event

 

[boomboomcheema]

Pathetic fielding. All these runs will cost Pakistan in the end.

 

[ex-q-zit]

Looks like an easy win for Pakistan. Difficult seeing India score anything above 200.

 

[Nado_]

Get Shaheen on for Pandya

 

[SalimBhai]

Out!!!!

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Naseem gifted four runs

 

[SalimBhai]

Out!!!!

We should go for the kill. Get afridi back on

 

[heddie19]

It seems none of our players have watched Gadar 2.

This is the result of Super fictional movies and superficial t20 money league.

 

[Firebat]

First time watching this Gill bat, what a terrible display, almost tail-ender like.

No man you missed his dominant performance against Gujarat Super Kings
