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

[Tyler Durden]

I hope next time PP will be less arrogant when talking about Mashrafee.

Exactly! I love the way how he inspires his teammates. Fantastic chap! I'm really looking forward to reading your article on how this whole match panned out from the beginning till the end and how BD outsmarted this overrated bunch of rookies.

 

[Amjid Javed]

How many more of these pathetic batting efforts before changes are made?

 

[Ned Flanders]

Inzi should be sacked, what a pathetic selection.

 

[Asif321]

You can see how thin our batting is after 4 down there are no batsmen

 

[Titan24]

Great effort from Bangladesh

 

[Fahdi]

Imam needs to carry on while keeping the scoreboard ticking. Can't leave the scoring too late unless he thinks he can finish it off like Malik against Afghanistan

 

[Hasan123]

Shadab needs to rotate the strike. Don't want him to put himself under pressure.

 

[Joginder_Sharma]

I hope BD has 11 fit players to field in the final if they win today's match. Looks like Mashrafe injured his finger and Mushfiqur has cramps

 

[Asif321]

Harris Sohail should have played in already thin line up

 

[MRSN]

You can see how thin our batting is after 4 down there are no batsmen

Beauty of playing bits nd pieces cricketers.

 

[Imran Hasan]

Hope Mash will be return very soon.

 

[Titan24]

How many more of these pathetic batting efforts before changes are made?

Problem is what changes? Who is supposed to come in?

 

[shariqnoor]

Asif now needs to play a Razzaq and I believe he will.

 

[MMHS]

Exactly! I love the way how he inspires his teammates. Fantastic chap! I'm really looking forward to reading your article on how this whole match panned out from the beginning till the end and how BD outsmarted this overrated bunch of rookies.

W/L is part of game and I'll still say, we are one bowler short. But, today I was impressed for the boys that they started without Shakib & Tamim, then to 12/3, still didn't leave the contest.

 

[Hasan123]

I would have brought Asif Ali in. A chance for him to show he can build an innings.

 

[Imran Hasan]

I hope BD has 11 fit players to field in the final if they win today's match. Looks like Mashrafe injured his finger and Mushfiqur has cramps

If BD reaches final then perhaps they have to send couple of players again to play in UAE.

 

[the_outsider]

Problem is what changes? Who is supposed to come in?

Precisely. These are your best players.

 

[MRSN]

Harris Sohail should have played in already thin line up

Our Thick tank don't have any clue. Other teams bat all the way to 8 and our tail starts with Sarfraz. Barring Malik rest is ordinary.

 

[JaDed]

I hope next time PP will be less arrogant when talking about Mashrafee.

That's no reason to keep going on with him ,BD has to move on defeat bigger team, as a cricketer have immense respect for him but still.

 

[CricketBuff]

Fahhar should have been dropped as he is not in form. Instead Shan Masood should have been played. Also why are you hiding Asif Ali from the batting line up.

 

[Titan24]

W/L is part of game and I'll still say, we are one bowler short. But, today I was impressed for the boys that they started without Shakib & Tamim, then to 12/3, still didn't leave the contest.

I just hope Bangla transforms this never say die attitude in other formats as well.

 

[Hasan123]

Imam has done well so far. But he needs to do this and improve his strike rotation against top teams.

 

[MMHS]

What we need is 3-4 tight overs from Soumya, for may be 4 overs for 18 - those loose 10 overs are the deciding factor here.

 

[Titan24]

Precisely. These are your best players.

Yes and we need to realize that other than 3 none have even played 50 matches and its a pretty young side. We have to be a bit patient

 

[MRSN]

Precisely. These are your best players.

This is not best but just more over hyped cricketers.

 

[Titan24]

Imam has done well so far. But he needs to do this and improve his strike rotation against top teams.

He is our only player who clicks under pressure

 

[Imran Hasan]

W/L is part of game and I'll still say, we are one bowler short. But, today I was impressed for the boys that they started without Shakib & Tamim, then to 12/3, still didn't leave the contest.

No matter how much BD haters taunt about these but you are absolutely correct.

 

[Thomaskutty]

No Shoaib, no win. This chase is dead and buried.

 

[BDfanforever]

BD is one bowler short. Players like monimul saumya are useless. Pak would be kicking itself if they dont beat this severely depleted Bd side.

 

[DRsohail]

What we need is 3-4 tight overs from Soumya, for may be 4 overs for 18 - those loose 10 overs are the deciding factor here.

Dont be tense shadab and imam will not score much of Mahmadullah either.

 

[Titan24]

This is not best but just more over hyped cricketers.

Who should come in? Umar Amin, Haris Sohail etc we have seen what they can do. These are young players who just need bit of experience

 

[Canford Cliffs]

What we need is 3-4 tight overs from Soumya, for may be 4 overs for 18 - those loose 10 overs are the deciding factor here.

You need to bowl Fizz...like right now.

 

[Shafi]

Why Sadab is tuktuking instead or rotate strike? Pathetic batsman

 

[Imran Hasan]

Captain is back!

 

[Shafi]

If Sadab survives another 5 overs we will loose this match. Imam doesn't have ability to score 7-8 runs an over

 

[Titan24]

Why Sadab is tuktuking instead or rotate strike? Pathetic batsman

I guess this is the first time he is playing at this position. Inexperience of this side and lack of planning is evident

 

[MRSN]

W/L is part of game and I'll still say, we are one bowler short. But, today I was impressed for the boys that they started without Shakib & Tamim, then to 12/3, still didn't leave the contest.

It's good to see some arrogant Pakistani fans here have been put to their place by this BD side who are shot of 2 of their match winners but still close to knocking Pakistan out of this Asia cup.

 

[Asif321]

Our Thick tank don't have any clue. Other teams bat all the way to 8 and our tail starts with Sarfraz. Barring Malik rest is ordinary.

People who say PSL gives us ready to move to international cricket players should be slapped
Hafeez is still the better batsmen among these psl champs

 

[BDfanforever]

One more quick wicket will peg back Pak, otherwise they are still on course.

 

[Justcrazy]

Tight bowling here by bangladesh , pakistan need to rotate strike here

 

[Canford Cliffs]

If Sadab survives another 5 overs we will loose this match. Imam doesn't have ability to score 7-8 runs an over

Lol.. kuch bhi. If Pak bats 50 overs...they will win the game. Its all about wickets

 

[Mp812]

Why Sadab is tuktuking instead or rotate strike? Pathetic batsman

He is just getting the feel of tracks bounce and pace...before he brings on the big strokes

 

[Hasan123]

Asif Ali should have been brought in ahead of Shadab.

 

[Boi]

Imam has a habit of standing up during tricky chases. The Ireland test, Afghanistan earlier and now today.

 

[fluke]

can we win from here ?

This pair will have to stay till 49.5th over if pakistan have to win this game

 

[Pakpak]

One more quick wicket will peg back Pak, otherwise they are still on course.

You guys have been very impressive. All the talent only the mental block sometimes.

 

[Asif321]

Hope today people realise shadab isn’t allrounder
Psl players look good in t20 but horrible in ODIs and test

 

[BlackShadow]

Wasn't chasing supposed to be a breeze, specially against a depleted Bangladesh?

 

[Ummii]

Like it or not this situation is perfect for someone like Fawad Alam.

 

[Titan24]

People who say PSL gives us ready to move to international cricket players should be slapped
Hafeez is still the better batsmen among these psl champs

PSL has only given us Sharjeel, Fakhar, Asif and Talat in batting and they are yet to become complete cricketers.

PSL can give you talent but you have to polish it and that is where we lack

 

[DuckMaster]

Champion Captain Sarfira looks scared in the dressing room... perhaps worried about the reaction from champion ex-cricketers, champion fans, and champion public.

 

[Boi]

Seems like Shadabs batting along with his bowling has regressed. Can’t even get a run against somo

 

[MMHS]

You need to bowl Fizz...like right now.

NO - 240 is such target that one partnership & you are almost there. We'll have to keep options open for a situation of 70 in last 10 with 5 wickets at hand.

 

[Shafi]

Nawaz is better than Sadab!!!!!

 

[shariqnoor]

People may not like this but Shadab's best facet of his game is his fielding. His bowling and batting are not good at all.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Just 2 runs off Sarkar's over.

Not good this

 

[Canford Cliffs]

Wasn't chasing supposed to be a breeze, specially against a depleted Bangladesh?

Not in Abu Dhabi....its easier in Doobye

 

[Titan24]

Wasn't chasing supposed to be a breeze, specially against a depleted Bangladesh?

The form in which Pak team is even 150 wouldn't have been a breeze

 

[Mainul]

At last Asia cup became thrilling ,4 thrilling matches

 

[Sherlock]

Lose a wicket and revert back to playing like absolute weapons.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Bangla had a poor start with bat, but they had decent middle order players to come, we have unproven bits and pieces players

 

[pillionrider]

Thought Pakistan's failures were down to not being able to chase

 

[Asif321]

Who should come in? Umar Amin, Haris Sohail etc we have seen what they can do. These are young players who just need bit of experience

Harris should play he has got all to be a middle order solid player
But you want Asif Ali cause he hits sixes in PSL

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Shadab is looking to push the ball, he should just prod it away, look for singles.

 

[Titan24]

Seems like Shadabs batting along with his bowling has regressed. Can’t even get a run against somo

That is what happens when you don't remain down to earth and act like you are a star. Same thing with Hassan ali as well

 

[BlackShadow]

can we win from here ?

This pair will have to stay till 49.5th over if pakistan have to win this game

Pakistan should just look to play full 50 overs, if that happens, you will likely win.

 

[Hasan123]

Pathetic stuff from Shadab.

 

[MRSN]

Who should come in? Umar Amin, Haris Sohail etc we have seen what they can do. These are young players who just need bit of experience

This is quite old excuse of young and inexperienced. These people have been cashing on all the money from all over the world from diff leagues for over a year now and today you are saying they need more time? This is not about time but lack of skills and IQ level.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

3 from 21...what the heck is Shadab doing...

 

[Canford Cliffs]

Shakib is a big miss today. Pakistan was there for taking if he was there.

 

[Titan24]

Harris should play he has got all to be a middle order solid player
But you want Asif Ali cause he hits sixes in PSL

I only want Asif bcz he can do which nobody in the lineup can and its also required in the game which is to be an aggressor in lower middle order.

Though what has Haris done, he is yet to make an international century.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Lol look at Shadab struggling out there. This lad has a test match half-century against England in England. Pakistan should just forget about this nightmare tournament and move on.

 

[Asif321]

PSL has only given us Sharjeel, Fakhar, Asif and Talat in batting and they are yet to become complete cricketers.

PSL can give you talent but you have to polish it and that is where we lack

Sharjeel and fakhar are not PSL products they were performing from long time at domestic level

 

[MRSN]

3 from 21...what the heck is Shadab doing...

Who even calls him an all rounder? Pathetic.

 

[babajee]

Yaar Shadab.......

 

[Shafi]

At last Asia cup became thrilling ,4 thrilling matches

Get out Sadab!!!! What a rubbish batsman he is!!! Who sent him should be fired.
Imam will be out soon. Our management has no brain

 

[Hasan123]

Asif Ali should have come in. He could have at least got a few bouadnries and the only way he can improve on his batting is by actually batting !!!!!

 

[saintgrace]

3 from 21...what the heck is Shadab doing...

His strike rate is not that good overall. just fyi.

 

[Titan24]

This is quite old excuse of young and inexperienced. These people have been cashing on all the money from all over the world from diff leagues for over a year now and today you are saying they need more time? This is not about time but lack of skills and IQ level.

You need to give them another year atleast. Also who do we have in the backup?

 

[Fahdi]

Good plan. Let Shadab have a single off the last ball and have him waste the next over
