Bangladesh vs Pakistan | Asia Cup: Super Four | Abu Dhabi | Sep 26, 2018 | Bangladesh Innings

[topspin]

Junaid performing is always bad for Pakistan in the long run.

Precisely.

 

[alized]

Honestly speaking. Sarfaraz isnt a bad captain as some parts of this game may have suggested. But lets look at what saved him here, its basically the second spell by Junaid Khan and Shaheen Afridi, they have kept things tight and have created the pressure

It’s common sense. You put your two best bowlers at the death. There’s nothing outstanding about what Sarfraz has done.

 

[Justcrazy]

good shot

 

[Rana]

He is still bowling at trundling speeds though. 137 KPH is his max speed today.

Yar what do you want him to do? Who is he competing with when it comes to speed?

 

[Hasan123]

If Amir starts ahead of Junaid in the next game , I'll be furious.

 

[Plumb]

He is still bowling at trundling speeds though. 137 KPH is his max speed today.

To hell with pace even if he bowls 120kph. As long as not getting spanked and picking wickets who cares

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Run out.

 

[Syed1]

Run out

 

[ManFan]

Hasan:

For your own sake, bowl at the feet.

 

[babajee]

Hasan should not be going at 6RPO vs BD

 

[Hbomb00]

Rubel run out!!!get one more wicket no chance of us chasing this score..gg

 

[Justcrazy]

nine down .

 

[badsha001]

It seems like Sarfaraz will be banned for next game due to over rate... Malik will be captain in the final

 

[Rana]

It’s common sense. You put your two best bowlers at the death. There’s nothing outstanding about what Sarfraz has done.

Im saying those two deserve the credit for bowling well

 

[babajee]

If Amir starts ahead of Junaid in the next game , I'll be furious.

No chance.

Hasan might be rested/dropped though.

 

[Hasan123]

Big shot. Can't allow this.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

If Amir starts ahead of Junaid in the next game , I'll be furious.

They'd be fools to drop Junaid. Hassan is the one who's spot is in danger.

 

[Plumb]

50 for Hasan. Brilliant boy... You are a special talent

 

[Syed1]

All out


Junaid doesnt get chance to get fifer

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Out!

Bangladesh all out, target of 240 for Pakistan.

 

[Rana]

Still Bengalis should back themselves to defend this. 239 is still runs on the board

 

[Hasan123]

No chance.

Hasan might be rested/dropped though.

Hasan Ali should start ahead of Amir for now.

 

[Justcrazy]

Bangladesh all out

 

[Ellipsism]

They'd be fools to drop Junaid. Hassan is the one who's spot is in danger.

His spot is endangered by who? A guy who hasn’t picked a wicket in 5 games?

There’s no point resting him in a final. We’ll just have to rest him from the one of the tests against Aus.

 

[Imran Hasan]

Pak will win this match comfortably.

 

[Mainul]

The way Bangladesh fought back after 12/3 is praiseworthy. Still it's Pakistan's game to loose. But I am satisfied with this 8 man teams performance. I still can't understand the decision to drop Nazmul the spinner [MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION]

 

[Syed1]

Only change would be Fahim for Nawaz who is useless

 

[Snowflake]

So losing all games (no exceptions) against quality teams since the Champions Trophy is not alarming for you? Glad to know.

My point was, there have only been 2 quality teams that we've played against. The sample is too low to make a blanket judgement that we have failed against quality sides.

 

[Hasan123]

240 to win. Let's see what happens.

 

[Plumb]

told ya get 1 wicket and floodgates 'll open. I still feel it 'll be a tough chase. Unless we bat freely and with courage

 

[Asif321]

Good from Pakistan go restrict them to 240

 

[Mueez]

Yaarrrr I wanted Juni to get a 5-ver!!!!

 

[Rayyman]

Great bowling. I would bring Amir in for Nawaz next game though.

 

[Justcrazy]

So , Pakistan need 240 to make the final .

 

[Hbomb00]

Game over we can't chase 240! Congrats in advance Bangladesh...

 

[battler]

Pak should win this. Also no shaking so Pakistan definitely favourites at half time.

 

[Mamoon]

My point was, there have only been 2 quality teams that we've played against. The sample is too low to make a blanket judgement that we have failed against quality sides.

7 matches is not a small sample even if it was against two quality teams. Sarfraz is a poor captain and he has been exposed. That's all.

 

[Justcrazy]

Great bowling. I would bring Amir in for Nawaz next game though.

Pakistan need to get over obsession of Amir.

 

[Fahdi]

He can bowl at 145.

Not after that injury. Since then he hasn't been able to bowl over 140. Shame, he was a lot more effective when he had that extra yard of pace especially with reverse swing.

 

[Asif321]

Bangladesh don’t have such spinners like afghans so should not be very difficult

 

[MMHS]

240 is the target, actually 239 - a tie takes PAK on NRR

It'll be a good game, but definitely PAK ahead by some 35 runs. Unless we get then 70/3, PAK to win it inside 48 overs.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

240 to win. Let's see what happens.

It would be pretty pathetic to lose chasing that score, but it could have been worse, looked like BD might get about 260-270 at one point.

 

[Buffet]

240 should be not be too hard given that BD is a bowler short.

 

[Rana]

Pak will win this match comfortably.

Hosla Rakho. 240 to win gives you a chance if you can tie down Babar and Imam early. Push the rr to 6 runs an over and watch how things change

 

[topspin]

I sense a Pakistan v SL CT like finish. Good start with wickets tumbling down in the middle overs and Shoaib Malik to see the side home with 2-3 wickets to spare.

 

[RainMan_]

We Don't deserve to be in the final. When the captain of a national team acts this irresponsibility, what can we expect from that team. If he had an once of gray matter in his head he would try to play out 50 Overs

Pakistan, Pls do is a favor and smash this worthless bunch.

 

[Hbomb00]

Pakistan need to get over obsession of Amir.

Agree

 

[Rayyman]

Pakistan need to get over obsession of Amir.

If Amir can get back in form he is much much better than Nawaz.

 

[alized]

Im saying those two deserve the credit for bowling well

They deserve the credit yes.

 

[babajee]

Not after that injury. Since then he hasn't been able to bowl over 140. Shame, he was a lot more effective when he had that extra yard of pace especially with reverse swing.

I saw him clock 147 Vs SL in the UAE last year.

 

[Angrez Pakistani]

Good to see Junaid destroying Amir’s career.

 

[Snowflake]

7 matches is not a small sample even if it was against two quality teams. Sarfraz is a poor captain and he has been exposed. That's all.

7 matches is not a small sample size but it has come against only 2 teams. That is my point. We cannot say that we haven't performed well against quality sides because 5 out of those 7 matches were against 1. I hope you understand now?

Also, the NZ series loss was not down to captaincy. We were thoroughly outplayed in all departments. One should not always tout their agenda regardless of the topic at hand.

 

[Ellipsism]

I saw him clock 147 Vs SL in the UAE last year.

Seriously? Even Hasan hasn’t hit that mark; might have been a misreading.

 

[babajee]

Seriously? Even Hasan hasn’t hit that mark; might have been a misreading.

Maybe but he also hit 142-144 quite a few times.

 

[Titan24]

Mushfiq deserved a century and Junaid deserved a fifer

 

[Pakhs]

I think this total is below par Pakistan favourites

 

[Rana]

I genuinely would sign a petition requesting PCB to keep poinltess journalists away from the team and someone monitering the amount of time some players are spending on their social media accounts rather than focussing on their performances.

The CT win has got into the heads of some of these boys

 

[RainMan_]

Enough of this nonsense. Time and time again we r making the same mistake and handing over the advantage to the opposition.

I will not support this team anymore. Can't believe a single team can have so many brainless players.

 

[Pakhs]

Both have eyes on the prize. Good on em. Lets see where it goes.

Surely Shadab is too young Hasan Ali in prime position for that

 

[NeVerMind]

I will take Faheem over Nawaz...better bowler and batsman!

 

[DeadBall]

Can't believe a single team can have so many brainless players.

Pakistani team says hello.

 

[jnaveen1980]

BD as expected blew up the advantage like millionth time in their history

 

[topspin]

Surely Shadab is too young Hasan Ali in prime position for that

Shadab has a bit more height and I don't think the age difference would deter him.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Shaheen will become a superstar, mark my words.

 

[Ellipsism]

On a side note wasn’t Safi on his last warning?

 

[JaDed]

BD is not winning this, as usual they lost in crunch moments.

 

[Syed1]

Trust me if we are going to chase it, it won't be without a few heart-in-mouth moments.

 

[DeadBall]

Looks out of it. Can see it from the way he ran in. That’s why I would have personally rested him this game. Permitting we make it to the final that’s 6 ODI Games on the trot, and with a up-coming test series with Australia in the UAE you don’t want to be putting that much strain on his body.

I thought you were Indian.

 

[x_KINGKHAN_x]

I feel like pakistan blew the chance of getting them out for 200

 

[ads101]

We got this I think

 

[topspin]

Shaheen will become a superstar, mark my words.

My fav in the team and have been longing for his fast track to the first team. This guy could win us the WC. He has all the ingredients to be a top fast bowler in the mould of Starc.

He will be the new poster boy of Pakistan cricket.

 

[Pakhs]

Shadab has a bit more height and I don't think the age difference would deter him.

What about the other party?

 

[NeVerMind]

Provided we do win today, I would bring Faheem back for the final in place of Nawaz....the latter is a better bowler and batsman

 

[Ellipsism]

I thought you were Indian.

What made you think that?

 

[ARK Rafay]

Shaheen and Junaid so far our only good pacers in this tournament.

 

[topspin]

What about the other party?

If you're referring to Hasan, he's 5 ft 7 but having said that Warner is shorter than his wife who is a model.

 

[Syed1]

Provided we do win today, I would bring Faheem back for the final in place of Nawaz....the latter is a better bowler and batsman

Same... also gives us more fire power in the lower order. Nawaz is just a dud.

 

[Hadi Rizvi]

Malik to make YET ANOTHER match-winning finish

 

[Ned Flanders]

Provided we do win today, I would bring Faheem back for the final in place of Nawaz....the latter is a better bowler and batsman

You don't want to replace your only somewhat decent spinner.

Faheem should come in for Hasan

 

[Syed1]

If you're referring to Hasan, he's 5 ft 7 but having said that Warner is shorter than his wife who is a model.

Guys you are flogging a dead horse
