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

[Sherlock]

For Bangladesh? When afridi came to smack them around.

As in it didn't work out for Abdur Rehman.

 

[KingKhanWC]

10 more overs of tuk tuk and go for 75 off 60.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan not rotating the strike , and now target going out of reach

 

[jnaveen1980]

Don't rule out BD making a mess of it lol Done it so many times.

 

[Cric_lover4487]

I really hope Pakistan wins this. I want to see Junaid bowl to our openers in final.

 

[Madplayer]

Asif ali usually flatters to deceive. Hits a couple of lusty blows and gets out in a tame manner. Almost like an anti-climax lol

 

[Sherlock]

Ended in tears for the Bengalis more like after Afridi saved us

Abdur Rehman was out swinging w/o doing anything. It was worse than Shadab, if that's believable.

 

[BlackShadow]

Asif is a superstar in making. What a cheetah.

 

[Asif321]

Hope this isn’t another false hope from Asif

 

[Pakistani Pace]

lol scores too much imo

 

[technocar2]

Our tail can't chase at 6.5 runs an over for 20 overs (((

 

[jnaveen1980]

Fiz has 6 overs left. Not many new batsmen can pick his speed variations

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

imam has played well.Well made 50

 

[Peshwa]

Not arrogance. But with due respect to bangladesh, india and pakistan finale is the real deal. Bangladesh has no rivalry with india

Pakistan made the same mistake and look what is happening
Still the game is not over
Don't forgt India struggled against HK and AFG

 

[Greenstorm]

Brain fade by the management. Remember a similar promotion of Abdur Rehman v Bangladesh. It ended in tears then too.

It was the right decision because Shadab usually plays spin better as compared to Asif as he uses more wrists while batting to maneuver the field. It just did not worked out, happens sometimes.

 

[gani999]

I said before that if Pakistan had to have a chance against India in the final, they would have to beat Bangladesh comprehensively today. Nothing short of a merry thrashing of BD would make Pakistan's confidence return.

Even if Imam bats with the tailenders and makes this total somehow, I am pretty sure Pakistan has no chance against India in the final.

 

[Ummii]

Imam ne izzat bacha li warna 100 bhi nahi hote

 

[DRsohail]

Pakistan has had a bad tournament but is still far ahead of Bang and Afg in any format. After this changes will be made and Pak will be a strong side for the next WC.

They had bad tournament in 2016 too and it will continue.

 

[saintgrace]

Fiz has 6 overs left. Not many new batsmen can pick his speed variations

Dont spoil the party. Hope is good thing to have.

 

[MMHS]

Pakistan has had a bad tournament but is still far ahead of Bang and Afg in any format. After this changes will be made and Pak will be a strong side for the next WC.

Insha Allah - already among favorites, it'll seal the deal.

 

[Hasan123]

50 for Imam. Hopefully he can perform like this against top teams.

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

Harris Sohail should have played in already thin line up

Instead of Asif Ali for sure.

 

[DeadBall]

Clutch 50 by Imam so far, no Sajdah though.

 

[Mohsin123]

I wish we had Hafeez instead of useless Nawaz

 

[RainMan_]

Imam is an excellent player. Cool as a cucumber.

 

[Shandarchowka]

I hope asif can break Bangla back just how afridi did several times before

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Reached halfway of target exactly 120

 

[Peshwa]

Pakistan five down.... Somebody in the Star Sports' office must be praying real hard right now

-Tweeter

 

[x_KINGKHAN_x]

Imam playing a misbah innings

 

[Justcrazy]

120 off 18 overs

 

[DeadBall]

Instead of Asif Ali for sure.

Instead of Nawaz or Shadab.

 

[pillionrider]

Bangladesh have played like real cornered tigers. If they aren't, wonder who else are.

 

[Mueez]

Lets appreciate Imam.

Man has already played more than 2 hours in this hot weather.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Insha Allah - already among favorites, it'll seal the deal.

I will be at the Pak v Bangladesh match on 5th July 2019. I hope your boys turn up with something at least.

 

[DeadBall]

Imam playing a misbah innings

Better than the Shezzie and Afridi innings like the rest.

 

[kuskash]

Pakistan has had a bad tournament but is still far ahead of Bang and Afg in any format. After this changes will be made and Pak will be a strong side for the next WC.

For Some Pak fans: Pak>>>Bang>>>AFG>>>IND (because they could not beat AFG)

For rest of the world: IND>>>Bang>>>Pak=AFG

 

[Hasan123]

Imam has shown mode guts and fitness than best captain since IK.

 

[Canford Cliffs]

Pakistan five down.... Somebody in the Star Sports' office must be praying real hard right now

-Tweeter

What do you mean? Are you saying Star wants an Indo-Pak final for trp sake?

 

[ARK Rafay]

Big chance for Asif Ali to cement his place.

 

[RainMan_]

Pakistan five down.... Somebody in the Star Sports' office must be praying real hard right now

-Tweeter

Good one mate. Thx for the laugh.

 

[waleed88]

THe longer the game goes on with 5 wickets down, it suits Pakistan more.. I would suggest our batsmen to just chill and build a partnership and take it into the last 10... with asif on the crease... (highly optimistic)

 

[Mainul]

Asif is the key here I think.he has ability to blast. Imam, I don't think have.RR is climbing. I want Asif here first.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Let me predict the match. BD will get very close to win the match. Then as usual Rubel Hossein bowl a 20 plus run over and cost the match.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

They may lose this but im happy with the way BD played. Sowmya was terrific in the field and bowled well too. Chin up lads. You guys have fought well, win or lose.

 

[Mainul]

I fear about Rubel and Mashrafe. Both have the ability to make Pakistan win within a few overs.

 

[jnaveen1980]

"My word" is keeping his emotions in check lol

 

[Zerotohero]

Imam has shown mode guts and fitness than best captain since IK.

Pak will realise his value only after he is either dropped or injured....he is a technically better batsman and not a blind slogger like zaman aka lala

 

[Mueez]

They may lose this but im happy with the way BD played. Sowmya was terrific in the field and bowled well too. Chin up lads. You guys have fought well, win or lose.

The way they have performed they deserve to win the match.

 

[Badsha]

It's time for Asif Ali to put bangla boys in their place. Maar do.

 

[BlackShadow]

Jr. Boom Boom looking so good!

 

[Greenstorm]

Required run rate won't be an issue as long as Asif is out there.

 

[Mainul]

Let me predict the match. BD will get very close to win the match. Then as usual Rubel Hossein bowl a 20 plus run over and cost the match.

I am also afraid. Let's hope not for a BD win. It is always heartbreaking if you are a BD fan.

 

[Asif321]

Long way to go hope these 2 carry on

 

[ARK Rafay]

If you look at our CT17 winning XI. We also had Azhar, Hafeez, Imad and Junaid. All of these players would've been effective in U.A.E TBH.

 

[KingKhanWC]

For Some Pak fans: Pak>>>Bang>>>AFG>>>IND (because they could not beat AFG)

For rest of the world: IND>>>Bang>>>Pak=AFG

For me

Pak - Ind - SL - Afg - Bangladesh.

The cup is not in anyones hands yet.

 

[RainMan_]

Let me predict the match. BD will get very close to win the match. Then as usual Rubel Hossein bowl a 20 plus run over and cost the match.

This.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Why giving mahmudullah over when you have 12 overs of rubel and fizz. Kash is doing s**t captaincy here.

Mash might not be able to bowl anymore.

 

[ARK Rafay]

It's time for Asif Ali to put bangla boys in their place. Maar do.

Yup. But my other side also wants to see how far beyond the Mars bangla can go.

 

[Mainul]

This partnership just needs to be broken.if Asif is gone it's all over for Pakistan I hope

 

[Markhor]

Getting fiesty on here.

Fundamentally this Pakistan team is not equipped to succeed in the UAE.

Batsmen like Fakhar enjoy pace on the ball but when the ball is stopping and not easily coming onto the bat like we see in UAE he doesn't have a plan B.

You have a non-performing captain occupying a key middle order spot, whilst Babar has done little of note against top teams since his international debut. Asif Ali is a powerful hitter but lacks ability to construct long innings in ODIs and seems better suited to short bursts in T20 cricket.

So effectively a historically weak batting team like Pakistan is playing with four specialist batsman.

Meanwhile we have not a single specialist spinner in the squad and are relying on two all-rounders in Shadab and Nawaz who are not matchwinners with the ball. This means in every match of this tournament we're one specialist batsman and one spinner short !

 

[RainMan_]

dropped. Dumb

 

[Greenstorm]

What was that from the keeper

 

[DuckMaster]

Sitter!!! Dropped.

 

[imshally81]

He dropped the match... I think

 

[Madplayer]

Dropped )

 

[Canford Cliffs]

Game over for BD....so close yet so far case again

 

[Peshwa]

Dropped the match

 

[rollingstoned]

Lol kya keeping hai yaar.

 

[Mueez]

He dropped the match... I think

 

[KingKhanWC]

75mph Akram is back to win the game.

 

[Pakpak]

 

[jnaveen1980]

Even a injured Mush would have taken that catch lol one hand with gloves coming straight to you wow

 

[Nikhil_cric]

The way they have performed they deserve to win the match.

They sometimes lose the plot in key moments and that might happen again. Asif Ali is a big hitter and im not sure they can stop him if he gets going.

 

[dhonixi]

Liton is international cricketer? Omg, never saw such a casual and careless behaviour. What was he doing there..

 

[Canford Cliffs]

Srilanka's drop catches got Pak CT....will this drop give Pak Asia cup?

 

[IAJ]

Lol what was the keeper doing there?

 

[Asif321]

Lol Asif looks such tullaybaaz

 

[Nikhil_cric]

They sometimes lose the plot in key moments and that might happen again. Asif Ali is a big hitter and im not sure they can stop him if he gets going.

See what I mean? Just dropped the match possibly.

 

[jnaveen1980]

That was the match. wow.. absolutely shell shocking drop

 

[KingKhanWC]

When you drop a catch, use the gloves to practice catching, remember this kids.
