[Kianig89]

177 is a good score in T20 whatever the conditions bowlers need to perform now

 

[Major]

Hayden just mentioned that rizwan was in hospital due to some lung condition and yet today came out to play and what a performance

 

[Kianig89]

Get Warner Finch early the can destroy the rhythm very easily

 

[jattafridi]

Need early wickets

Shaheen shah Afridi and imad u can do it

 

[Mas-LFC]

Good innings

 

[Devadwal]

Very strong finish .those Last two six by fakhar can made big difference here. He is big match player.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

To me Finch is key. He hurts Pakistan

 

[Justcrazy]

Imad and shadab will have to bowl well here , they need to bowl attacking spells looking for wickets , if Pakistan can get early wickets , Pakistan should look to get there required rate above 10 quickly

 

[hass]

176-4 a very competitive score by Pakistan.

Big chase on for Australia against an in form and varied bowling attack.

 

[jattafridi]

If Australia score 60/1 in pp game over

 

[GLORY OF '92]

175 been a winning score 90% here in Dubai

 

[Hermoine Green]

Hayden just mentioned that rizwan was in hospital due to some lung condition and yet today came out to play and what a performance

It was all over media. He hadnt had any net pracitce due to lungs conditions. Then he was hit by a bouncer brutally, i think no one saw that sorta bruise at his face..
This guy deserves a salute.

 

[Duckworth Lewis]

Pacers could struggle. The pace variations Haris Rauf developed this tournament could come in handy.

 

[Thephenom]

Aussies will target Imad I think

 

[JaDed]

Aussies body language was pretty bad at fielding, let’s see if anyone can lift them.

 

[IMMY69]

It's a big ground so hitting straight sixes is not easy.

Also Aussies didn't deploy change of pace much which hopefully our seamers will.
Also with Starc and then Shaheen bowling left arm over, May crest a bit of rough for the spinner.

If we keep to our disciplines snd the dew doesn't fall heavily we should hopefully win this

 

[Mas-LFC]

Babars innings was quite slow. 6 more balls saved from there, could have taken the total past 190.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Batsmen have delivered. No excuses for bowlers. Champion stuff from Zaman and Rizzy!

 

[shokz1408]

Haha just as I expected, fakhar delivered. Now to do the job with the ball, come on Pak!

 

[Abdurmirr]

An absolute champion cricketer and great human being. Why he gets so much hate i'll never know

 

[Major]

Man hope its not covid related

 

[Abdurmirr]

Fakhar found his form, lets hope Hassan does the same

 

[Colorblind Genius]

That over from Zampa and Cummins (16 and 19) is we bottled it.

Lets hope we can recover in the bowling.

 

[CricFan2012]

This game looks similar to the 2010 t20 semi final, Rizwan the wicketkeeper scoring a half century like Kamran, Babar out in 30s like Butt, Fakhar scoring that important knock like Umar Akmal.

Maxwell will smash it for Australia and win it in the last over.

 

[Civil]

Excellent excellent batting! very brave....now get a few dot balls and wickets upfront next thing you know Aussies need 10 an over in Dubai against our bowling ....best of luck green machine!!

 

[sweep_shot]

Advantage Pakistan. They should win this.

 

[Syed1]

Will win by 25 runs

 

[imshally81]

Hafeez should bowl at least 2 overs today..

 

[sweep_shot]

Aussies are displaying moustaches.

November Movember?

 

[JibranAnsari]

As long as we compete well with the ball , i will be happy.

I think australia will put their foot hard on the pedal from word go. Shadab and shaheen have a big role to play , hasan and haris are weak links in bowling.

 

[imshally81]

Swing..

 

[imshally81]

[BunnyRabbit]

I said that yesterday, Afridi hasn't taken a wicket in his first over for 4 matches now, he'll change that today.
