Australia (177/5) defeat Pakistan (176/4) by five wickets to qualify for the ICC T20 World Cup Final

[sweep_shot]

Pressure on Imad now.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Dew?

 

[pillionrider]

Warner

 

[castortroy]

Match back with the Aussies now

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pressure released.

 

[mosh101]

Momentum changing over this

 

[Gullycricket]

Don't bring Hasan now. Keep Shaheen

 

[m.shah]

Should have bowled with Hafeez here

 

[castortroy]

Awful over

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Imad is trash

 

[imshally81]

17 runs in imad over

 

[hamzie]

Lol what's wrong with you man

start our plane

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Need to bring hafeez asap if Pakistan wants to win

 

[shah_1]

Hafeez can be a good option

 

[sweep_shot]

Big over.

16 from it. 1 more ball to go.

 

[Kianig89]

If Warner plays 10 more deliveries we are done

 

[Zeshan547]

Imad is trash

Nah it's more of bad captaincy, imad vs Warner was never a good match up for imad historically.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Good captaincy!. Give Imad to Warner!!! ol:

 

[Jabo]

silly to bowl him and let the pressure disappear

Smith/Maxwell still to come
last thing you want is a partnership between Warner/Marsh

 

[JibranAnsari]

Never a good idea to bowl two overs of spin in powerplay

 

[Aman]

Damn, if Warner gets going Aus should chase this.

 

[imshally81]

Rauf with 6

 

[Kianig89]

Only way to win is take wickets

 

[sweep_shot]

Australia - 30/1 after 4 overs (target: 177).

 

[syd_pak]

I mean anyone could see this happen. Left hander , spinning in.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

666
Guys game is slipping

 

[UzmanBeast]

Would have made sense to bowl Hafeez because the long boundary on the leg-side prevents Marsh from taking him there.

If Marsh wanted to use his feet, he'd do so at his own risk.

 

[shah_1]

Great shot

 

[castortroy]

Yep Rauf and Hasan are going to be expensive today

 

[Justcrazy]

Aussies likely to win , they are belting this bowling

 

[hamzie]

this games done and dusted

 

[Zeshan547]

Have to get these two asap or match is done.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

:

 

[Aman]

Yeah, that over changed the game.

 

[pillionrider]

lol where did Mitch Marsh come from? Thought his career was over.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

They're going slam bang now.. dew in effect. Cricket in dubai needs to stop.. too easy for 2nd batting teams.. disgraceful

 

[mosh101]

Lol Aussies in Hulk mode now

 

[imshally81]

6 and 4

 

[sajsultan]

yep.. this game is looking to be over in 15-17th over

 

[Shafi]

200+pitch. 176 is never a good score

 

[Aman]

Aus should chase this.

Raining boundaries... dammit, they've peaked at the right time...

 

[angrypathan]

Never. Bowl. Rauf. In. The. Powerplay.

 

[shah_1]

Australia are back in the game

 

[sweep_shot]

Marsh joins the party.

 

[castortroy]

Aussies will cruise this.

Coming on very nicely now

 

[mosh101]

Babar animated

 

[Jabo]

imad getting his Australia visa

 

[pillionrider]

Babar needs to calm down. This is not how the team rallied under him.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Imad is poor in every department

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Marsh at 3 is so much better than Smith.. smart Australia

 

[shah_1]

Get in Shadab Khan

 

[UzmanBeast]

Ball is coming onto the bat nicely, so bowlers need to bowl the line at off-stump with protection on the leg-side. If the batsman wants to take the risk and swat it, then let him.

Bowling back of a length gives more room to free the arms.

 

[hamzie]

undoing shaheens work

 

[emranabbas]

Rauf bowling pies

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Game. Over. :l

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Get in Shadab Khan

No. Hafeez!

 

[Shafi]

really poor bowling

 

[mosh101]

Pak under pressure now.

Will we be 20 runs short in the end?

 

[ARK Rafay]

Pitch looks a belter. We may very well are 20 runs short

 

[Thephenom]

This umpires call needs to be scrapped, if your out your out!

 

[Jabo]

no wickets in next 2 we are done
Australia will cruise

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Need hasan ali on

 

[sajsultan]

this is where sarfaraz was good at calming the boys.. that was the main reason why we were so good under him in T20s.. learning experience for Babar..

 

[Aman]

Bring back Afridi, wicket needed big time.

Get Smith in and slow them down.

 

[JibranAnsari]

We have to admit that pakistans opening today was below par , wasted too many deliveries and played a lot of dots.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Pitch looks a belter. We may very well are 20 runs short

Did you expect Aussies to roll over for us? They're freaking Australia.

 

[Major]

Australia played the pp well

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Pakistan Need to calm down and not bowl filth

 

[hamzie]

we had a good run

 

[Kianig89]

Get Warnner out simple as that

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

this is where sarfaraz was good at calming the boys.. that was the main reason why we were so good under him in T20s.. learning experience for Babar..

not the place or time to learn

 

[Jabo]

Marsh at 3 is so much better than Smith.. smart Australia

should been out by afridi

now poor bowling is letting him play

 

[ali-abbas123]

Need a wicket ASAP to put the pressure back on. Who’s it gonna be

 

[UzmanBeast]

Two plans I see:

1.) Bowl yorkers in the powerplay, just get out safely and regroup.
2.) Bowl the off-stump line and look for some movement on the pitch, nothing too extravagant.

 

[sindhiboy]

looks like rauf returning to his pre world cup form

 

[sajsultan]

really.. put our ultimate beat him down guy..

 

[emranabbas]

Rauf no game plan blindly throwing at wickets

 

[Aman]

Need wickets to slow Aus down and put them under pressure.

 

[sweep_shot]

Australia - 44/1 after 5 overs (target: 177).

Rauf was expensive.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

should been out by afridi

now poor bowling is letting him play

no that was easily missing leg.. all 3 stumps were visible
