Bangladesh v Pakistan | Asia Cup 2016 | Mar 2, 2016 | Mirpur | Pakistan Innings

[Shafi]

Worry about Tamim's form on this flat deck he will murder our bowlers

 

[MMHS]

Bad luck, wished to bat 1st.

Probably 170 sort of track. It's hard & bouncy, but they have shaven the grass; should be very good for batting. I guess Afridi/WY has droped WAHAB - that's classic Pakistan : Wahab got spanked on a green top, so he should be dropped on a rock hard belter for someone almost as fast as Imran (when he won the WC).

And they 'll keep Manzoor at 3. By every day I am losing the passion to watch team Pakistan. More than anything, it's absolutely boring & defying any logic.

 

[mastermind_quad]

I want Pakistan in the final.

Nothing against Bangladesh but Ind-Pak final ....maza aajaega

Manzoor>Kohli

 

[Canistani Hero]

Seriously?? You want Afridi to bat at 5 lol. Good luck making 100. A shallow batting lineup affects the batters psychologically

I'm sure the presence of Khurram Manzoor at 3 bolsters their confidence

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Pakistan will score whatever they will irrespective of the pitch.

Good call by Bangladesh.

Even on flatsie, they might only score 100-120.

 

[rhony]

Don't see any reason why we shoud not use home advantage to the maximum regardless of whether we win or not today.

This is not a bilateral. Its a tournament. You can use home advantage but then the pitches should be similar for all teams. You can't lay out green tracks for others and phattas for your games. Cheap tricks really.

[Lords]

Pakistan bats first, half the game in paks pocket already.

I will support pak just because of pitch descrimination against india. We shall win the cup despite the pitch and umpire descriminatiin

 

[anakin]

[MENTION=2099]Cricket[/MENTION] Cartoons : You are invited bro .. Join us!!

 

[Sherlock]

The only reason I see Manzoor playing is if he opens with Sharjeel. Hafeez to come in at #3.

Your posts are illogical. What if we score 150+ Today.

 

[Moh@n]

Even if you need the extra pacer, why Anwar? How does it make sense to play him over Wahab?

 

[cricfan967]

Cricinfo: Bangladesh have lost their last three T20Is chasing. Pakistan would have done well to take note of that.

 

[Moh@n]

Every Indian wants Pakistan to win today. An Indo-Pak final would be epic.

 

[naseem]

Nawaz shud jab been perceived with... anyways...let's hope pak set up something around 155

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Nice pitch for batting and Bangladesh are missing their best bowler. I think Pakistan will score 160+ today.

 

[Shafi]

Weakest T20 team I have ever seen.

 

[Syed1]

What do we expect when we have duds like Manzoor, Hafeez, Afridi and Anwar Ali in the side

 

[10sion]

Is that a rule by ICC, or just ethics that we can choose to follow and choose to ignore?

 

[uberkoen]

All rounder is in on a pitch with not a single blade of grass. He will get hammered. We need to target 180ish atleast.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Need 150 plus BD batting looks stronger than previous games with Mashrafe at 8 instead of 7.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Your posts are illogical. What if we score 150+ Today.

We could even score 170 today or 220.

I am just saying it hardly matters what pitch we bat on.

We've been known to make normal pitches look like minefields.

If that's illogical then it's your opinion.

 

[Moh@n]

C'mon Pakistan!! Please don't mess this up.

 

[Shafi]

Your posts are illogical. What if we score 150+ Today.

I have to agree with Dr. Shahib, our batting is as bad as UAE and unfortunately at the end career Afridi still our only power hitter.

 

[Alamgeer]

Anwar ali khuram sami sarfraz

 

[Red Devil]

The only reason I see Manzoor playing is if he opens with Sharjeel. Hafeez to come in at #3.

Lol true, using him as cannon fodder is probably the best possible way to utilize him

Just hope he opens and Hafeez comes at 3. Misbah is saying he thinks they will do that now.

 

[rhony]

Can't be a rule. Its just your team being a sissy while claiming to be a tiger.

 

[Shafi]

Every Indian wants Pakistan to win today. An Indo-Pak final would be epic.

Because India wants to make sure they will win the cup even before the match start. Tired of watching Ind vs Pak one sided match. Even Bangladesh can give India proper challenge.

 

[10sion]

I wont mind using sissy tactics if it helps us win.

Of course we suck at chasing so we might still lose, but if we can doctor pitches to our advantage, then we should do it. Ten times out of ten.

[Deewana Mastana]

Khurram Manzoor should open today with Sharjeel with Hafeez at 3.

LOL, Malik has always bashed us and Akmal is back in form. Plus you have much better bowlers.

Have some hope man.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Wahab shoulda played on this track tbh... Coulda replaced Irfan

 

[PTI tsunami]

Khurram manzoor the worlds best will deliver today and get a mighty 10 runs

[Zeshan547]

In an ideal world this should have been the team and batting order for today match on this pitch,
1-khuram
2-sharjeel
3-hafiz
4-umar
5-sarfraz
6-malik
7-afridi
8-nawaz
9-wahab
10-sami
11-amir
wouldn't have khuram but i guess we should give him all matches in asia cup and then get rid of him for good.

 

[cricfan967]

Cricinfo: Pakistan's average score batting first against Bangladesh in T20s: 172/5 in 20 overs.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Anwar Ali. No, no and no.....

I knew they would make this blunder.

 

[10sion]

The last thing I will want to see is Mushfiqur dropping a catch.

Anything less than 180 on this pitch will be disappointing

Manzoor and Sharjeel to open

But the trouble for Pakistan is that they are going to set a total of 100.

I want our super talented Umar AKmal(>>> Rohit and Raina) to score a 30 ball hundred!! [MENTION=138980]TalentSpotterPk[/MENTION]

 

[Syed1]

Can't wait for the sacking of Waqar and company and Haroon and company. Pathetic individuals with dehati mentality.

If we lose this match, many heads should roll

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Yes! Khurram opening and Hafeez at 3. Good thinking for once by management. It was obvious though

 

[Dr_Bassim]

If we get Sabbir early we win the match.

If we cannot win with star studded players like Wasim, Akhter, Saqlain, Razzak, Anwar, Inzamam, Malik against India how many players do we have in that quality in our squad only 1. Hope should based on skill or strength not with emotion

 

[razabbas]

Begin finally

 

[Moh@n]

Tamim is back for them too

 

[Sherlock]

So...Manzoor does indeed open.

 

[Ankit007]

lets go...

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Mashrafe gets to say 2 and 1. Not fair

 

[Syed1]

They were our whipping boys for the longest time in all formats, not anymore

 

[aukhan]

Manzoor

 

[jusarrived]

Come on Pakistan . Set a Target of 200

 

[Shafi]

Hope it will not be one sided match!!!

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Swing and a miss

 

[Yanna_Rascala]

Watching Manzoor bat is so embarrassing )

I hope he gets out early so we can score some runs.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Khurram is so awful wow.

Trust me we know all that ... but the chance of big whopped is always hiding in some corner.

 

[razabbas]

WTH manzoor is trying to do here :/

 

[Greenshadow]

Manzoor can't hold a bat.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Surely Manzoor wouldve practiced hitting these kind of deliveries a thousand times in the nets

 

[The_KING]

WTH is Manzoor doing in the team?

 

[FreakCricket]

Khurram bhai go home

[Shafi]

Kurram is such a rubbish batsman!! Even Hong kong or Oman has better batsmen than him.

 

[MRSN]

opening with Anwar Ali would have been a better option.

 

[razabbas]

Just dont lose wickets upfront please

 

[Red Devil]

Takes a single on the last delivery )

 

[Ankit007]

1 off the 1st over. Cautious start. Good

 

[Asif321]

mubarak manzoor baba off the mark

 

[Shafi]

Shehzad was bad but why on earth they select this rubbish

 

[Greenshadow]

Takes a single on the last delivery )

embarassment.

 

[FreakCricket]

Sarfraz should open.
