PAK - 31/1 (5 overs).

Pitch seems sluggish. Can't see Oman scoring more than 120. Pakistan should try to reach 150-160 (if not more).
 
Haris’s struggles with the bat are are well documented but Farhan also does not look like someone who can score runs against top class bowling attacks. Looks very nervy and unsure in the middle

PSL performance cannot be taken as an index of quality or skill
 
Abhishek is a proper batsman. Anyone saw him two years back he was orthodox. Now he has added sick hitting skills. India rarely plays total hacks. Dube is the closest as he lacks feet movement.

Most Indian batters that come through ranks come through a proper system. School cricket , U/ 13 , U/ 15 , U/ 19 , Ranji etc. They used to play 3 day games at lower level , so know how to build innings.
 
Can't even manage to bat well against Oman trundlers and giving them heaps of opportunity for wickets. We're just a minnow side at this point.
 
Excellent player on flat pitches even against spin, anyways on turning tracks only few batsmen around the world are good. Cut haris some slack. People were after his throat after his performancr on sharjah rank turner.
 
Oman bolwers are one tier below trundlers .. they have slow pace on seemingly low bounce track.. you need muscle to put these balls out of Park.. Pak batters lack power especially haris
 
It will be interesting to see how Pakistan approach next 8 - 9 overs after Power play , can they keep momentum going
 
Proper slogging against women's level bowler . He won't score more than 10 runs against India :kp
 
Asia cup should be Ind, Pak, SL, BD and Afg in round robin tournament where each team play with one another twice. Then top 2 sides play the final.

Much better than this farse.
 
This is how these part time cricketers should be treated.
Cricket is like a hobby to these guys. Pakistan is struggling against them is not a good look.
 
Well done Haris on the 50. And the management for sending him at 3. That is the position.
 
ICC should make a rule that expats should not be allowed to play international matches. Until and unless Arabs start playing cricket professionally, teams like Oman, Qatar, UAE should not be allowed to play big teams.
