Australia vs Pakistan | Tri-Series: Final | Harare | July 8, 2018 | Pakistan Innings

[Arham_PakFan]

Pakistan need 184 runs to win the T20I Tri-Series.

Can they do it?

 

[Mueez]

If our top order clicks, YES.
If our top doesn't click, NO.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Need a good opening stand.

 

[daytrader]

It was a good effort to keep Aus below 200, Pakistan should be feeling confident. IA we will chase this

 

[Markhor]

See out Stanlake, make most of the Powerplay, don't allow RRR to fall out of control.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Mr Farhan show us why it was a good idwa to pick you boy! I really hope that we can chase this

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Just need to go for it. Forget about the strike rate.

 

[hadi123]

We need Zaman to bat well.

 

[Mueez]

Having a feeling we will 'fluke' this one!

)

 

[Baigel]

Go for it...If we lose than at least we should put up a fight, about time Farhan shows us why he was selected for this squad

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Positivity boys, lets win this!!

 

[ads101]

Not favourites here, chasing will be difficult, but we restricted them well given their start. Definitely possible.

 

[Mueez]

S Farhan stumped.........
.

..

 

[ExplicitAI]

What a horrible way to get

 

[kingusama92]

This is why you don't put a debutant in such games.

 

[Asif321]

Omg what a silly way to get out horrible from Farhan

 

[ExplicitAI]

A schoolboy error that

 

[Tyler Durden]

Lol lol who is this hack batting outside the grease the very first ball of his intentional career?

 

[ExplicitAI]

Hussain Talat ain't that much of a quick batsman in these situations.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

They can't even play Maxwell

 

[Markhor]

I told you it was a stupid idea to debut Farhan in a tri series final.

Sarfraz getting what he deserved for wasting four matches on Hafeez/Haris.

 

[ExplicitAI]

we're crumbling.

 

[Mueez]

 

[ads101]

This is why you don't put a debutant in such games.

There was no excuse for that though lol. It's Maxwell opening the bowling lol, and to go out like that...

He should have played all games or none at all really. My biggest criticism of Mickey, gets team selection wrong, and takes a while before finally picking the best team. Slow to get rid of the non-performers, reluctant to take a chance with the new guys in the team/low on experience until he has no choice.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

A traditional Pakistani collapse.

 

[kingusama92]

Ah, a delicious can of choke I see.

 

[Markhor]

What is it with our batsmen and Glenn Maxwell's bowling ?

 

[Watsupdoc]

Pakistan just hasn’t shown up today...

 

[Asif321]

Okay boys it’s done ... let’s prepare for ODI

 

[Tyler Durden]

2nd wicket in 1st over. And Pak batting is better than India?

 

[Shafi]

We will loose this match by over 100+ runs. Typical timid attitude from our players.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

lol Pakistan for you

 

[emranabbas]

Lost this match

 

[punter17]

The standards of PSL speaking for themselves! LOL @ performance of Pakistani team

 

[Khan12]

Poor shots by both.

 

[90MPH]

Just poor shots getting out to a nothing bowler.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Maxwell has always been killing Pakistan with bat and ball since he made his debut for Australia.

 

[punter17]

10 bucks say they will get out below 100.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

So Aus will be nr 1 T20 team now?

Don't think this will mean much based on this start but we can hope!

 

[ads101]

We will loose this match by over 100+ runs. Typical timid attitude from our players.

Timid lol? Farhan got stumped out of his crease. Talat when for a shot and got out.

Poor shots/terrible technique. But wouldn't say timid. Just not good enough that.

 

[RobinJay]

Our batsmen can't cope with the slightest hint of pressure.

 

[castortroy]

You have to laugh at some of pak younger batsmen. Mental midgets with zero talent

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Maxwell has always been killing Pakistan with bat and ball since he made his debut for Australia.

I remember how he used to maul Ajmal when he just started.

 

[Darkrai]

Talat is a crap player.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

2nd wicket in 1st over. And Pak batting is better than India? &#55357;&#56834;&#55357;&#56834;

Keep it coming

 

[Baigel]

So reminiscent of the CT17 final

 

[Mueez]

A captain's knock coming up inshAllah!

If only these two click with each other, you never know......

 

[IAJ]

Lol, never been impressed by this Hussain Talat. Miss and hit player like most of our guys.

 

[90MPH]

Credit to Australia though.

Good plan to open with a spinner and our batsman playing such poor shots in the first over.

 

[castortroy]

Yeah pak should be skittled out here for 100

 

[kingusama92]

There was no excuse for that though lol. It's Maxwell opening the bowling lol, and to go out like that...

He should have played all games or none at all really. My biggest criticism of Mickey, gets team selection wrong, and takes a while before finally picking the best team. Slow to get rid of the non-performers, reluctant to take a chance with the new guys in the team/low on experience until he has no choice.

Yeah it was a rubbish shot but that probably makes an even stronger point.

Debutants have the additional worry of making a good impression and you chuck them into a high pressure game. It's a recipe for disaster.

 

[shariqnoor]

The game was already over when Australia scored more than 150.

 

[Baigel]

Never count out Pakistan...You never know

 

[Tyler Durden]

That's a brilliant move to start with Maxwell.

 

[punter17]

Part time spinner taking 2 wickets with new ball. just realize that

 

[AssassinatedDevil]

Just when you are having a good day, you watch this team bat and watch them slowly chew away at your soul. Might sound like a kneejerk reaction but this is truly sad.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Sarfraz

 

[saadsahabjee]

2/2

10/10

1 wicket per run starategy by pakistan.

 

[ads101]

There's still a lot of batting left, it's T20s you only need to last 20 overs.

All our best batsman are still in, Fakhar, Sarfraz, Malik, Asif all still have their wickets. Especially good Fakhar didn't go first over.

Our two worst specialist bats are out that's all. We still in this. The way Talat's been hitting it this series, doubt he'd be able to accelerate properly anyway.

 

[castortroy]

Only pak make a part timer like Maxwell look good

 

[90MPH]

Hussain Talat is no way a number 3 batsman, that’s for sure.

He’s at best a number 5/6 batsman - but even there he needs to improve his shot selections.

 

[Asif321]

Masterstroke by finch giving maxi first over . Our psl superstars had no clue

 

[Abdullah]

Need to dig in and take it deep

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Cannot believe we gifted 2 wickets to Glenn Maxwell of all bowlers

 

[ethan hunt]

Talat just doesnt have the hand eye coordinatiion .
Struggles against pace and slices too many of his big shots.
Stylish but ineffective .

 

[Markhor]

Hussain Talat doesn't look natural when trying to hit big. Perhaps suited more to ODIs than T20s.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Just when you are having a good day, you watch this team bat and watch them slowly chew away at your soul. Might sound like a kneejerk reaction but this is truly sad.

That just simply means that you need a break

 

[90MPH]

Pakistan have to keep playing shots - the power play is the time to get boundaries.

No point chasing 15 an over in the last 5.

 

[Asif321]

Sarfraz will get out anytime

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Maxwell will bowl his 4 overs here

 

[Arham_PakFan]

First boundary of the innings comes of Fakhar Zaman's bat.

 

[saeedhk]

Talat is a mediocre batsman. Only can hit premeditated shots. Also, he always seems to be off balance when he hits.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Another boundary to Zaman this time through the off side.

 

[pratiktc]

One over too many for Maxwell

 

[Mueez]

Back to back fours for Zaman.

 

[pkckt]

Fakhar counterattacking

 

[shariqnoor]

Pakistan will win 5-0 against Zimbabwe and everything will be rosy once again. Sarfraz will be the best Pakistani captain ever and we would be one of the best teams going around.

 

[imshally81]

 

[ads101]

Honestly would be rather 2 wickets down and fakhar gets a start. Fakhar's crucial for us, hopefully gets his eye in and gets a big score.
