I have a feeling Umar will play a great composed knock of say 75 off 65 balls here to win the game and against India try a slog 3 balls in and get bowled
 
The biggest positive from this match is the team confidence on winning. The biggest neagtive from this performance will be the delusion that Pakistani batsmen have returned to form.
 
It would be a travesty if Maqsood does not make the starting Xl vs Ind
 
Hopefully this gives a boost to Umar Akmal. Good to see Sohaib, Haris, Umar getting runs on board unlike YK.
 
Few runs from here from both Umer Akmal and Soaib maqsood will lead to cement their place in final 11 for the world cup matches.

So mostly sarfaraz will be dropped to bring in the bowler to make 5 full bowlers and haris can be used incase of any injurty for 2 to 3 overs..

Team should be looked like this

1. Ahmed Shahzad
2. Umer akmal( Not sure where he should bat and who should open, will be wicket keeper)
3. Yunis khan ( majboori, should be replaced when Nasir jamshed comes in)
4. Haris sohail
5. Saoib Makssod
6. Misbaul haq


7. afridi
8.yasir
9.wahab
10.irfan
11.rahat/ehsan/sohail khan
 
The worrisome part for Pak is that all the regular Bangladesh bowlers (Mortaza, Rubel, Taskin, Shakib, Mahmadullah) are clocking economy of around 4 or less.

Soumya Sarkar and Arafat Sunny are clocking 6 an 7 economy (3 overs each).

I think this will be the best possible line up with sohaib maqsood to bat 3 and umar akmal at 6 unfortunately
 
I just dont understand why selectors or management don't understand that even yunis plays 20 or 30 runs he cant win a game for pakistan. And even if he makes 80 or sao, he gets out when there is a need to score fast to win a match... just rediculous.
 
Sohaib and Akmal are must in Pak lineup. Look things look like moving after they joined together
 
Our bowling is on par with Bangladesh.

Its like they are 20 out of 100.

And we are 35 out of 100.

Don't worry.

India Pakistan WC match is going to be a cringeworthy "who is worse" match.

Both teams will try their best to lose.

Im sure pakistan will surrender within 60-75 overs of the match...
 
3 off that over, 155/4 after 35

Umar Akmal played 3 dot balls at the start :facepalm:
 
Problem with Pakistan batting while chasing is that they ALWAYS take it to the brink. No matter what the target is or who the opposition is. Why are they batting so slowly? They should've aimed to finish this match off within 40-45 overs.
 
umer can be a careless player , but he tries always to score faster and win a match. With bit of brain used he is the bets pkaistani player for now...

I am sure once misbah leaves , he will be the prime batsmen of pakistan....thye never allowed him to settle by bringing yunis khna, asad shafiq kind of playes. Who averages lesser than akmal and strike rate is medicore,

even if both of them makes 80+ today and failed to get past 10runs against England only one of them will play, and that would be maqsood.. if both of them perform they would make haris sohail or sarfaraz sit ... YK will never sit out... Nobody has the guts to do so..pakistan will lose of playing yk against india again
 
Akmal is at 39 from 34...Misbah, haris , yunis are the kind of playes who will be at at 20 from 34 and when there is a need to score fast they will surely get out.. Special yunis....

He, Maqsood, Haris, Fawad are all pretty decent. Future isn't all that dark.
 
If they cant drop Younus make him open

Shehzad
Younus
Harris
Misbah
Umar
Maqsood
Afridi

Actualy moin khan had rightly said that we neeed to see the future and need to forget yunis khna in ODI...Again with lots of support from media and other stuffs yunis made it to ODI team and now moin khan or waqar yunis are helpless... Misbah too supports yunis...
 
What in the world?

It says Maqsood, Umar Akmal and Misbah all not out ...
 
In friendly matches if you score 50+ you can retire, allowing another batsmen to come in. Whole point of friendlies but he should have carried on.
 
Let me make it easy for your guys Umar Akmal caught by Mushfiqur Rahim bowler was Mashrafe Mortaza

39 in 41 for junior
 
Umar Akmal will never learn..again gets out in powerplay,


Now i guess we will lose this warm up as well.
 
2 off that over, 173/4 after 38

unsure as to who has retired, Maqsood or Umar
 
u.akmal always plays for the team. cant blame the lad usually he comes in when RR is above 11 thanks to misbah and younis tuk tuk
 
*** with the team management ... Misbah will play anyway as he is the captain.. seems like safeguarding Yk.. Had maqsood score a 100 today then they will be forced to swap him for yk... or should make him injured to make yk play...
