Australia (93/4) comfortably defeat Pakistan (64/9) by 29 runs in first T20I match to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Likely to be called off, started pouring down again. Just 45 minutes to cut off time.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

I don't think there should be play in these conditions.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

If rained off

"Australia once again fail to beat a resurgent Pakistan"

Let's go with that headline.

 

[RehanG]

Looks like rain effected game. There are showers before 18:00 and after 20:00.

As predicted

 

[mango_bite77]

What happened to those closed stadiums Australia had ? We can at least use them for shorter format. Such a shame to loose a good contest due to rain

 

[heddie19]

Washout it is then

 

[Rana]

Washout it is then

The world is not ready for Zimbu 15 ball 70 in T5

 

[ads101]

Would have at least been interested in what the playing xi is even if it’s a washout.

 

[imshally81]

Lucky Australia....

 

[Ali Active]

still chance of 10 over game

 

[Ali Active]

match to start ag 8 20 toss in 1 mint

 

[heddie19]

The world is not ready for Zimbu 15 ball 70 in T5

But the world is ready for your 5 year old stupid comments. That is a shame

 

[Muhammad Saad]

still chance of 10 over game

7 over game it is starting in 15 mins.

 

[Ahmed216]

7 over game to start in 15 minutes. Toss in a minute

 

[mango_bite77]

7 over game to start in 15 minutes. Toss in a minute

No chance for Pakistan.

 

[Ali Active]

will be intresting if babar rizwan open

 

[G0rmintAunty]

MAtch starting in 15 mins, 7 overs a side

 

[Omer2002]

7 over game my days rather it have been called off this will be a farce

 

[Rajdeep]

Full mood off. Was so looking forward to an Aussie win

[FearlessRoar]

Toss Update: Pakistan have won the toss and have opted to field

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Toss Update: Pakistan have won the toss and have opted to field

Definitely an edge here.

 

[stani_pak]

Not a fan of shorten games however this is good practice for Pakistan, in world cups game can be shorten. I always felt when it came it shorten games or super over Pakistan is never prepared for it, where as other teams have some sort of gameplan.

 

[BouncerGuy]

So Salman Ali Agha is making his debut that was obvious.

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Who is the other debutant? Jahandad or Haseebullah?

 

[ads101]

Nah feel like you have to shorten it if you can. Nothing more frustrating than going to the ground and not having a match. I remember I went to Bristol for the World Cup and it was rained off. Even got hotel accommodation for the night. Luckily I managed to get a ticket for another match.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Who is the other debutant? Jahandad or Haseebullah?

That is quite confusing... I think it is Haseeb. no debut for Jahandad

 

[Ali Active]

That is quite confusing... I think it is Haseeb. no debut for Jahandad

i think considering shortened game they have played haseeb otherwise initial plan would have been jahandad

 

[BouncerGuy]

i think considering shortened game they have played haseeb otherwise initial plan would have been jahandad

Yes... that makes sense though

 

[Rana]

Gwan Australia!

Smash 100 in 7 over lads!

 

[shamaan]

Haseebullah in the xi WTH

 

[Rana]

Tassali karao Rizzu Symonds ki Aaj!

 

[ads101]

I surprised. Why play Haseebullah when Omair is in the squad too? I assume Haseebullah won’t be opening anyway.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Tassali karao Rizzu Symonds ki Aaj!

AND IF RIZWAN nay TASALLI KARWA DI to???

 

[G0rmintAunty]

This is like the HK sixes, needed Asif Ali and Talat HUssain here.

 

[W63L35]

Today's match is 4th 7-over T20I in the history.

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Shaheen back to overpitched cr@p

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Shaheen being predictable

 

[castortroy]

Awful over by Afridi

 

[Kianig89]

So it is a lottery then

 

[Shafi]

Australia has an edge as parchi Afridi has at least an over to give 25+ runs.

 

[Rana]

16 in first over

Tassali of Shaheen

 

[mango_bite77]

16 from the 1st. Anything beyond 60 would be out of reach

 

[BouncerGuy]

Anything over 80 here is game done and dusted for Pak

 

[Rana]

Chal koi na is T7

 

[mango_bite77]

Straight to Babar. Plastic dynamite gone

 

[BouncerGuy]

Naseem nay karwa di tasalli JFM ki

 

[RidiculousMan]

Hack gone!

 

[Ali Active]

real test is for babar and rizwan if they consider themselves t20 openers come out and chase whatever the total is

 

[Kianig89]

SsA smoked here, is that Rizwans fault

 

[Rana]

16 from the 1st. Anything beyond 60 would be out of reach

Yeah I guess the innings is over if you lose 3 wickets

 

[Rana]

Hack gone!

Pehle Shaheen ki tassali tou kardi thy

 

[Kianig89]

Maxwell it is

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Chal nikalll

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Maxwell promoted, may be avoiding Rauf

 

[Rana]

Aithe rakh maxi!

Maar puttar maar!!

 

[mango_bite77]

Such a brave shot, only Maxi can do that

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Good comeback from Naseem

 

[RidiculousMan]

Pakistan are playing a bad XI. They are a bowler short

 

[mominsaigol]

Full mood off. Was so looking forward to an Aussie win

@mominsaigol

Bro thanks for pinging me, I didn't even know it started

 

[DeadlyVenom]

This over has fallen apart

 

[Rana]

Khubsurat no ball

 

[Rana]

Yeh Le! Khubsurat reverse lap again to Khubsurat fast bowler!

 

[mominsaigol]

Australia on ahhhhhhh, I turned off the tv and just switched but atleast I get to watch

 

[Rana]

Another 4! Aithe Rakh!!

 

[Rana]

17 off second over

Naseem ki Tassali

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Will be tough for Pakistan

 

[Shafi]

What type of bowling is this? All hitme balls.

 

[Rana]

Who’s coming to get their Tassali now?

 

[RidiculousMan]

Going at 16s. This is bad tactics from Pakistan. They are attacking when they should be defending in a 7 over game

 

[mominsaigol]

Another 4! Aithe Rakh!!

Will Babar and rizwan open

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Aussies looking to score 100 here

 

[BouncerGuy]

Target is gonna be around 90

 

[Mrjungshook]

If rain starts again here.
Rizwan will run towards Masjid to offer two rakats.

 

[Shafi]

Abbas will easily give 25 runs.

 

[Rana]

Will Babar and rizwan open

Inki bhi tassali ki jaye ghy

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Rauf vs Maxi now

 

[G0rmintAunty]

How many overs per bowler?

 

[Shafi]

If rain starts again here.
Rizwan will run towards Masjid to offer two rakats.

Don't make fun of religion bro!!!!!

 

[mominsaigol]

Oh man, I'm loving this game,

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Good start from Haris. Hope he finishes the over well.
