Good to see Akmal is playing. Hope he does well

 

[Smbhayi]

So younger Bravo captains elder Bravo. interesting!

 

[Smbhayi]

Good to see Akmal is playing. Hope he does well

also keeping. Worth to watch how he does against spinners especially if it spins . he's good against pacers though.

DJ Bravo is the elder Bravo....

 

[Abdullah719]

McCullum goes early.

 

[Smbhayi]

DJ Bravo is the elder Bravo....

I thought DM was Dwayne

 

[Smbhayi]

Not a good start for TKR. 39/2 after PP

 

[dauntless]

Umar is keeping interesting tkr's batting is not much deep

 

[Abdul]

Amla departs

 

[Hasan123]

also keeping. Worth to watch how he does against spinners especially if it spins . he's good against pacers though.

Indeed against pace he is strong but against spin he tried to hit to midwicket too much. Completely forgets about the offside and playing the ball on the floor also.

I don't know why he is keeping he'd not that great at keeping tbh

 

[Suleiman]

I don't know why but these days whenever I see Umar Akmal at the crease I start laughing out of nowhere and get weird looks from my family and friends. It's just the weird expressions he makes and then gets out.

I was talking about his keeping skills

 

[Hasan123]

I was talking about his keeping skills

yes you are right. Like his batting he is strong against pace whilst keeping. If he worked on his keeping he could have been our LOI keeper for a decade or so.

 

[Smbhayi]

Btw it was a really cool feature. Live Video update on Facebook.
just go https://m.facebook.com/CarnivalT20/ and you can get highlights from there

 

[Smbhayi]

seems like ground was small but good crowds there.

 

[Muhammad10]

Terrible knock by Bravo so far.

 

[Abdul]

Good over for Umar Akmal

 

[Abdullah719]

A start for Umar today, hopefully he can make it count.

 

[street cricketer]

West Indian talunt vs Pakistani talunt batting at the crease..

Pakistani talunt winning comfortably.

 

[Muhammad10]

Akmal outfoxed by Watson.

 

[Muhammad10]

Bravo brothers at the crease.

 

[Abdullah719]

DJ out cheaply as well... TKR finding the pitch and the bowling difficult to deal with.

 

[Abdullah719]

Lara 2.0 finally getting a few shots away, this may well be a competitive score.

 

[Smbhayi]

Last over 17 runs. Little Bravo finish it well despite slow start. 162/6

 

[Muhammad10]

Well finished by Darren Bravo. 163 is a competitive target with T20 specialists like Narine, Cooper and Bravo in the team.

 

[Smbhayi]

[Muhammad10]

Perfect start for Zouks. On top of that, Narine looks ordinary today, which will worry TKR.

 

[Abdullah719]

45/0 in 5 overs, impressive start by Charles and Watto.

 

[Muhammad10]

The Zouks, Charles in particular, are looking untroubled in this chase.

 

[Muhammad10]

Danger-man Charles is dismissed but has set up the chase nicely, as Mr. Cricket joins Fletcher at the crease.

 

[Muhammad10]

Narine has another and is starting to look ominous. Fletcher caught behind by Umar Akmal.

 

[Suleiman]

This Darren Bravo guy seems to have added another dimension to his game. Usually is pretty sedate in LOIs, but in the tri-series he looked aggressive for the hundred vs SAF, and then now played a potential matchwinning knock in the carribean cup t20.

Didn't catch the end of his innings where he made up for it, but earlier on he was really struggling, getting inside edges on almost every ball and struggling to middle big shots. Perhaps took him some time to get accustomed to the pitch.

Jet lag yaar. I can't even drive after such a long flight, this guy is batting. Need to give him some room.

 

[Muhammad10]

A fairly easy 6 wicket victory for Zouks.

Why Umar Akmal cant score more than 30s??
