Bangladesh v Pakistan | 3rd T20I | Dhaka | 22nd November | Pre-game Discussion

[Artaxerxes]

Pakistan should play the following:
Babar
Sarfraz
Haider
Chacha Ifti
Khushdil
Shadab
Asif
Nawaz
Dahani
Waseem
Qadir

 

[Rana]

Even Babar should rest

What business does he have playing this pointless T20s???

IMO, I think our players are afraid of being replaced or being put under pressure if the players that replace them perform well.

What happens if Babar rests, Haider and Fakhar open and both score 50 from 20 odd balls. Knowing neither Babar or Rizwan can play an innings like that, they’ll be forced to make way.

Pakistan should try out more bench players. They are likely to win no matter which combination they play.

Babar has to be extremely insecure to think he will be replaced after one or two good performance by these two and its not going to he long before they fail as well.

BCB medical team informed that Mustafizur is suffering from pain on his side

Bangladesh left-arm pacer Mustafizur Rahman is uncertain for the third and final game of the T20I series against Pakistan Monday.

Bangladesh Cricket Board medical team Saturday informed that Mustafizur is suffering from pain on his side.

The pain was one of the reasons for the Bangladesh bowler to leave the field following the first ball of his second over during the second T20I against Pakistan at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium Saturday.

“Mustafizur felt sudden pain in his side during his second over of bowling. He will be reassessed again [Sunday] and a decision will be made on whether he will be match-fit for the final T20 international of the series,” said a BCB media release following the game Saturday.

Another reason for Mustafizur to leave the field was for a possible breach of bio-secured bubble protocol that has been in place for the series.

In the 13th over of the Pakistan innings, the game got interrupted after a fan from the Northern Stand dodged the security and the group of groundsmen at SBNCS and ran to the center of the field.

The individual before being taken out of the field by the BCB security had touched Mustafizur’s boot following which the match officials took the Bangladesh bowler off the game.

This could be a good game to test Shadab's captaincy.

 

[Omer2002]

Pakistan should play the following:
Babar
Sarfraz
Haider
Chacha Ifti
Khushdil
Shadab
Asif
Nawaz
Dahani
Waseem
Qadir

He has hardly set the world on fire ...but yes he does need to rest b4 tests playind stupid shots

 

[gazza619]

Looking forward to seeing some fresh new faces.

 

[Asif321]

Dahani , Usman, Sarfraz, Ifti in
Shaheen, Shadab, Rizwan, Malik rest

 

[Shafi]

Sarfraz, Malik and Hafeez need to retire.

 

[cricketerB94]

Don't know what's the point of having Sarfraz and Malik in the squad against Bangladesh if they are not going to retire tomorrow from limited overs cricket. It should be a goodbye match for Sarfraz and Malik from T20Is.

Rizwan (getting batting practice for test matches)
Babar (getting batting practice for test matches)
Haider
Sarfraz
Malik
Khushdil
Iftikhar
Nawaz
Waseem
Rauf
Dahani

Ifti, Khushdil and Malik can be the fifth bowling options

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Gotta feel for safaraz being made to carry the drinks for the last 2 years, in covid bubbles knowing you have no long term future due to your age. Give the guy a game please.

Sarfraz is in team as a backup wicket keeper in case Ruzwan is injured.He should be played against relatively weak teams like BD,Zimbabwe,WI etc.Rizwan’s work load should be managed.Wicket keeping is very demanding and demands good fitness levels.

When sarfaraz was keeper and Captain no other keeper got a game . He played every game even in the 5 match series against Zimbabwe.

However I do think Rizwan will be rested for this next match .

 

[zacattakk]

Anyone who hasn't played in this series or in the WT20 should play this game other than Sarfaraz unless Rizwan really needs a break.

 

[shamaan]

Pakistan should play

Babar
Fakhar
Haider all
Sarfraz
Malik needs to retire after this game
Khushdil
Nawaz
Shadab
Wasim Jnr
Qadir
Dahani

No need to play Shaheen,Hassan Ali,Rizwan even Babar should rest and give the captaincy to shadab

 

[Spitfire]

Spot on!

While working as panel experts on A Sports broadcast during the recentT20 World Cup, even Wasim, Waqar and Misbah were in complete agreement that players are very reluctant to be benched when asked if Pakistan would rest it's main players for games against Namibia and Scotland.

Insecurity runs rife amongst Pakistani players and it's been a long running trend.

 

[ChTab]

I wish Pakistan drop Sarfraz permanently from the team so that they can give a chance to a young keeper in a dead rubber.

So my team for the 3rd T20.

1. Rizwan (wk)
2. Fakhar
3. Haider
4. Khusdil
5. Asif
6. Shahdab (c)
7. Nawaz
8. Waseem
9. Hassan
10. Dahani
11. Qadir
