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

[MenInG]

So there it is - the magic number is 240.

Bangladesh scored 239 which looks lowish but knowing Pakistan batting problems, this will not be an easy chase.

 

[jewel1985]

Easy for Pakistan. Bangla needed at least 280 to stand a chance.

 

[BDfanforever]

Pak should easily chase this against this depleted BD team.

 

[Ned Flanders]

Easy win coming.

Bangladesh just doesn't have that oomph.

 

[The Viper]

Fizz or bust for Bangladesh.

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Awesome work by Pakistan to limit Bangladesh to 240 after the knock by Mushfiq.

Glad to have Junaid back today and he performed incredibly well. Amir is just clearly burnt out with the amount of cricket he has played and needs to get his confidence back. If Hasan doesn't watch out, it will be him that loses his place with his wayward bowling of late.

I will say, an on song trio of Junaid, Shaheen and Amir sounds mouthwatering at the next World Cup

 

[JaDed]

Not a good performance by BD ,expected better,always seem to miss out on big moments.

Indeed, along with Faheem who isn't a mug with the ball.

But there needs to be a rotation policy. We clearly have enough talent in order for it to work.

 

[MMHS]

I think, 270 would have won it, but 240 isn't a walk. We'll have to add 20 in field, take every catch and bowl really tight with part-timers, while regular 4 bowlers must look for wickets. It's a KO game, therefore doesn't matter lose in 40 overs or 49'6 overs - go for early wickets.

 

[Ummii]

Don't worry Collapse is coming.

 

[RainMan_]

Exactly. We always hand over the advantage to the opposition.

 

[MMHS]

I think, they did well to reach here from 12/3, but first rule in ODI is that you should bat out 50 overs - and we missed that after playing one extra batsman over a regular spinner.

Absolutely, I mean we went with 6 bloody pacers on these pitches so clearly the talent is in the wing to get everyone going. Our biggest concern is to find another spinner to compliment Shadab. I personally hope that someone like Raza Hasan can force themselves back into the mix.

 

[Snowflake]

These are the kind of totals that make me nervous as a Pakistani fan. Typically, Pakistan come out with a confused strategy which is something between playing your natural game and aiming to play out all 50 overs. The result is a muddied chase where we either huff and puff to the victory or fall agonizingly close.

 

[saintgrace]

Ban was 3 down at 12. This is respectable score. It could be worst like 150 all out. They have a chance here.

What will u say about the brainless batting of our captain today. I mean, how can he be so irresponsible.

 

[Plumb]

Hope to see Sharjeel back, He and Fakhar can make a great combo. Imam can rest but that's not going to happen...

 

[saintgrace]

"2 early wickets and malik's run out " and Ban can win

 

[Pakhs]

The chase will be easy of Zaman scores 50 if not touch and go

 

[Ned Flanders]

I agree.

We would have done well here in UAE if we selected the proper spinners.

Raza Hasan would've been ideal.

Say what you want about Hafeez but I'd rather have him at 6 than Asif Ali.

 

[Pakhs]

What will u say about the brainless batting of our captain today. I mean, how can he be so irresponsible.

Well hitting another 6 was his best chance of adding another 6 to the score.

 

[Pete Rose]

athar Ali had all the thanos gems on his fingers during the mid innings analysis

 

[Plumb]

I agree.

I would have been a fan of hafeez if he had played at #6 5 years ago.

 

[Pete Rose]

I would make random point about spin because pacers dismissed Bangladesh for 239

 

[babajee]

Can Fakhar return to form today?

 

[Arham_PakFan]

PTI songs playing in the background...

 

[mak36]

Backing the boys to chase this. Let's go.

 

[Darkrai]

Is team ne toh bohut besti karwa di.

Difficult chase boys.

 

[MMHS]

He isn't a regular bat - could have been out very next ball trying to hit a six. You see, if it comes out, you are hero, otherwise villain. PAK pacers actually bowled well here - may be only 2 batsmen I can blame is Soumya & Mithun, may be Mahmudullah should have targeted 250 instead of 260+, otherwise rest were out to good balls & Mushi with a beauty.

These are in between targets - last time Sarfraz defending 237 on a turning Dubai looked like losing the game before even bowling; Mash has to resist that - he has to make PAK feel like it's a tough ask.

 

[Ned Flanders]

I would have been a fan of hafeez if he had played at #6 5 years ago.

He's too deet for that though.

 

[Rayyman]

Fakhar saw karegaa

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Spinner opening for Bangladesh.

 

[DeadBall]

Even in the pics of players in the team line ups, Shaheen has this exact look,

 

[Syed1]

Nice move by BD to start with spin

 

[RainMan_]

Man, Kumble is such a bad lcommentator. Kumble should stop doing it altogether and become the coach of our national team. Our brainless players need a headmaster type coach like him.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Fakhar is off the mark with a single.

 

[Syed1]

Even in the pics of players in the team line ups, Shaheen has this exact look,

That's his resting face

 

[MMHS]

Good bye guys - 3 tasks can't be done together; I can only follow in CI

 

[Syed1]

Fakhar out shaba

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Brainless.

 

[RainMan_]

What a catch.



Wow

 

[Syed1]

Not following any more... pathetic side.

 

[kuskash]

Ducker Zaman scored mighty 1 run.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

That was a brilliant effort.

 

[rhony]

Not much balance. Head falling over. Leg side play is a suspect unless he is slog sweeping

 

[Syed1]

What a catch.



Wow

Bhai aap bilawajah tension leh rahay thay easy win for BD

 

[babajee]

What the hell

 

[Plumb]

wow fakhar

 

[saintgrace]

one gone. BAN need one more and the show will start.

 

[Shafi]

Fakhar is nothing but a pure slogger!!!!

 

[kuskash]

Not following any more... pathetic side.

No Sir, you stick to your side and your opinion. You should not change your above opinion even if Pak wins Asia cup.

 

[JaDed]

The studs of CT have been dud here, waiting to perform against India in final I guess.

 

[Abdul]

Fakhar has turned into a wasteman now.

 

[Ned Flanders]

The battle of which team is more pathetic.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Not much balance. Head falling over. Leg side play is a suspect unless he is slog sweeping

Openers should not be sloggers. They have to relyong timing, placement more than slogging.

 

[Gullycricket]

Not following any more... pathetic side.

Bhai aap to sabr na khoeyen.Fir kya faraq mamoon aur hum mein

 

[Usman Chadda]

How many times has Fakhar thrown his wicket away in this Asia Cup so far?

 

[Arham_PakFan]

The Fizz is bowling now.

 

[Asif321]

My god what a regress for Zaman plays his natural game gets out lol
Horrible tournament
Again pressure on batting now

 

[Justcrazy]

Fakhar should play natural game. He has been coached too much.

 

[Baigel]

Nothing seems to go right when you're in a slump. He's hit the ball so hard but unfortunately straight into the fielders hand

 

[Titan24]

The studs of CT have been dud here, waiting to perform against India in final I guess.

He is yet to score a 50 in sub continent if I am not wrong, he likes pace on the ball

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Plumb.

 

[Ned Flanders]

How many times has Fakhar thrown his wicket away in this Asia Cup so far?

He didn't review against Afghanis and India second match.

 

[kuskash]

Babar gone

 

[Justcrazy]

Babaar gone

 

[Ramsay]

Out??

 

[docteurmanish]

Man, Kumble is such a bad lcommentator. Kumble should stop doing it altogether and become the coach of our national team. Our brainless players need a headmaster type coach like him.

agreed-best coach you can get and bad commentator-dry and non witty but accurate
take shastri as your coach sir and i would give you kashmir!

 

[Ellipsism]

The main man himself is on, undeniably the greatest fast bowler to grace the plains of South Asia. Expect him to roll over our side with his 130 kph pies.

 

[rhony]

Babar gone

 

[Baigel]

There Goes Babar

 

[Asif321]

Wow review not taken should have

 

[Hasan123]

Fakahr gone already. Not a great start. Good move to start with spin.

 

[Plumb]

And I thought batting should be easy under lights

 

[Ned Flanders]

Malik needed to save the day again. :lmao

He's due for a failure

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Pakistan in a lot of danger.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan team already sinking

 

[Mp812]

Out

 

[jnaveen1980]

My word

 

[Asif321]

Wow im in shock what a hype of Babar and zaman
