Asia Cup 2023: Super 4: Pakistan vs Bangladesh | 6 September | Lahore | Bangladesh innings

[Markhor]

Clever from afridi

On a surface like this the bowlers need to use their dimagh.

Can't just bowl line and length like in Pallekele the other day where the ball was nipping about. T20 style variations will come in useful.

 

[Asad T]

Just a bit of stats according to Bard: There have been 27 ODIs played at Gaddafi Stadium in the last 3 years. The average first innings score is 252 runs, and the average second innings score is 217 runs. The team batting first has won 14 matches, while the team bowling first has won 13 matches.

 

[Rana]

2 soft wickets for Bangladesh

 

[mominsaigol]

2 soft wickets for Bangladesh

Not really soft. Shaheen wicket was class.

Naseem got lucky though but who cares, Naseem is a gun bowler.

 

[Rana]

Bangladesh need to keep pumping

 

[emranabbas]

2 soft wickets for Bangladesh

Afridi wicket was a setup not soft at all
That was clever bowling

 

[Omer2002]

all leg side bowling from naseem bowl wicket to wicket

 

[Rana]

Afridi wicket was a setup not soft at all
That was clever bowling

Das had no business feeling that one

Poor from him

 

[Nado_]

Afridi wicket was a setup not soft at all
That was clever bowling

Yup set up nice and he got the extra bounce on the delivery

 

[Rana]

What is Rizwan drama doing running after that when it’s clearly going to fine leg?

 

[Rana]

Oh this looks bad

Naseem isn’t moving

 

[Markhor]

Oh god what's happened here

 

[mominsaigol]

Bangladesh need to keep pumping

Are you supporting bangaldesh? Brother be a pakistani patriot.

 

[NeVerMind]

Naseem badly injured...right shoulder gone...not looking good

 

[Rana]

Are you supporting bangaldesh? Brother be a pakistani patriot.

Supporting cricket

 

[Firebat]

Disaster, worst possible time for this.

 

[Rana]

Love this intent from Naim

Guys not holding back

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Hope he is okay

 

[Shafi]

Looks like Nasim's World Cup is over!!!!

 

[kingusama92]

Might be a dislocation

 

[NeVerMind]

Can't afford to lose Naseem prior to the World Cup

 

[mominsaigol]

Naseem is fine, he'll walk it off.

 

[Ahmed216]

Some wayward bowling today. But they've got couple

 

[Rana]

If Naseem is out, it means Faheem will have to bowl 7 overs

 

[Ahmed216]

Shaheen trying to get a wicket every ball

 

[Rana]

Oh Naim what have you done? You were looking all set for 100 today

 

[ExpressPacer]

I genuinely don’t understand why so many of our bowlers throw themselves around like that to save a couple of runs in meaningless matches.

Genuinely not worth it.

 

[Markhor]

Management should tell the pacers to not dive around like that.

The outfield is lightning quick so let it go instead of risking injury so close to the World Cup.

 

[Asad T]

Not easy conditions, but it's better than rain!

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

Management should tell the pacers to not dive around like that.

The outfield is lightning quick so let it go instead of risking injury so close to the World Cup.

Boundaries look so small also, since they are bought in a lot

 

[Rana]

3 soft dismissals

 

[Hassan A]

Rauf's 50th ODI wicket! Naim out

 

[ExpressPacer]

Looks like Nasim's World Cup is over!!!!

I wouldn’t go that far mate. I think it’ll be a tear at the worst which will at worst rule him out of the Asia Cup.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Hope Naseem is fine. We need him for the World Cup.

 

[Rana]

Here he is

The man

The myth

The legend

Rana Klusenar

 

[Rana]

I wouldn’t go that far mate. I think it’ll be a tear at the worst which will at worst rule him out of the Asia Cup.

Pakistani players and management are pretty good at covering up injured players and playing them through

 

[Ahmed216]

Boundaries look so small also, since they are bought in a lot

This high ad skirting near the boundary also doesn't help. Forces the players to dive at a awkward angle sometimes

 

[Rana]

Hridoy Misbah ul Haq academy

 

[Rana]

Afif at 8

They bat deep

 

[Rana]

Rana McGrath

Bang on the money over

 

[Major]

Nothing serious. He pulled his shoulder most probably. Would ve alright in two days max

 

[NeVerMind]

Raulf bowls Hridoy! Pure pace

 

[Rana]

Hridoy not your level of cricket son

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

Bowled!!!!!!!

Haris Rauf!! What a wicket!

 

[Markhor]

What a delivery Haris Rauf ! Too quick.

 

[Ahmed216]

Nothing serious. He pulled his shoulder most probably. Would ve alright in two days max

Inshallah

 

[ChTab]

Bangladesh are such a minnow they're 47/4 on the flattest wicket in the world cricket

 

[Shafi]

What a ball from Haris!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Rana]

Rana deserves credit for that wicket

He set up Hridoy for Rauf to surprise him with express pace

 

[Firebat]

Another soft wicket, Pakistan ain't chasing this down. If only we sent Shadab for the toss, we'd have a shot at winning.

 

[kingusama92]

Just too quick from Rauf

 

[Nado_]

Another soft wicket, Pakistan ain't chasing this down. If only we sent Shadab for the toss, we'd have a shot at winning.

Huh

 

[NeVerMind]

Rauf unplayable right now....147 KPH last delivery

 

[Theo_14]

I think people are underestimating how good you have to be as a bowling unit to take 4 wickets on a pitch which is literally a paradise for batsmen. Wow.

 

[ChTab]

Rauf is breathing fire at Qaddafi

 

[Rana]

Aamir Sohail in the commentary box to raise our anxiety levels

 

[NeVerMind]

Pak did the right thing going with extra pacer based on this start and now with Naseem injured....

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

I think people are underestimating how good you have to be as a bowling unit to take 4 wickets on a pitch which is literally a paradise for batsmen. Wow.

Agreed, amazing stuff from Pakistani Pacers so far

 

[Nado_]

two veterans at the crease

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Any updates on Naseem?

 

[Rana]

47-4

We are Babar make or break territory again

 

[Rana]

Is Aamer Sohail at war against the English language?

 

[Firebat]

Any updates on Naseem?

He looked fine in the dressing room, don't think its overly serious.

 

[Markhor]

BD hopes of a competitive total rests with these two stalwarts.

This is the game here.

 

[Rana]

Rana channels boy

Shades of Shaun Pollack

 

[Rana]

BD hopes of a competitive total rests with these two stalwarts.

This is the game here.

Afif is a big wicket too. Very good player

 

[Nado_]

We’ve got left arm swing / height /pace from Shaheen
Right arm swing pace from Naseem
Right arm pace/bounce middle over wicket taker death bowler from Rauf
If we had a Seam movement bowler like Asif /hazelwood then we would have the complete fast bowling unit

 

[Theo_14]

Really hope BD put a competitive score for Pakistan to chase. Pakistan need to be tested in every aspect during this match.

 

[Major]

Our slowest bowler is still better than all of indias pacer. Faheema

 

[Asad T]

47-4

We are Babar make or break territory again

time for chacha to bowl

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Rana McGrath

Bang on the money over

Faheem Stokes

 

[Rana]

time for chacha to bowl

Judging by comments here last time

It’s time for Shaheen to bowl and win the game. Pakistan fans want to be entertained

 

[Ahmed216]

What a sight. Naseem is back

 

[Rana]

Shakib has no answer so far to Rana’s chokehold over him

 

[Rana]

Mushfiq’s high back lift will trouble him in this spell against Rauf

 

[Theo_14]

Hope Naseem is fine. We need him for the World Cup.

He ‘looks’ fine. Was just warming up with one of the coaches and practising his action, doesn’t seem in pain.

 

[mominsaigol]

Faheem needs to be replaced by Zaman or Ihsanullah.

I want ihanullah if management can iron put his line and length issues.

A 150kph bowler already with 3 140+ greats. Unstoppable bowling unit.

 

[Rana]

Is it me or there is definitely seam movement in this track?

 

[Hassan A]

Naseem looks a bit better now

 

[Rana]

Faheem needs to be replaced by Zaman or Ihsanullah.

I want ihanullah if management can iron put his line and length issues.

A 150kph bowler already with 3 140+ greats. Unstoppable bowling unit.

Jokes aside

Faheem is a class batsman.
