20 runs under par Rizwan played a good innings

 

[Walawalkar]

Mohammad Rizwan in T20Is this year:

Innings: 13
Runs: 706
High score: 104*
Average: 100.85
Strike-rate: 140.91

 

[Malik-01]

Game on lads.

 

[Walawalkar]

Mohammad Rizwan now has most fifty-plus scores by a Pakistan player in T20Is of an year (7) overtaking Babar Azam (6 in 2018)

 

[Ab Fan]

Great knock from Rizwan.

Wish Shaw batted with same awareness, we won't had to bank on bowlers to chase down 275.

Fair to say, Shaw is a poor man's Rizwan

 

[Mahee]

very good score on a turning track....pakistan should comfortably win this

 

[Walawalkar]

Fighting total.... Spinners will hold the key..If Imad can get 1-2. wickets in opening spell..then game onnnn

 

[sharmaji]

I am a little disappointed but if Pak gets 2-3 wickets in PP, Eng will struggle on this pitch.

 

[Titan24]

Pak spinners and Babar’s captaincy will be the key.

 

[PakPremi]

Hasan Ali selfish hogging of strike could cost Pakistan, there was a rtwo and three in taking but he turned his bat for his own heroics and ended up wasting those balls.

 

[shamaan]

very good score on a turning track....pakistan should comfortably win this

First 6 overs will be key if they get 60 of 6 overs then game should be Englands

 

[Smbhayi]

Lol how can people blame Rizwan for Pak's middle order misfiring?

 

[ex-q-zit]

Pakistan are clearly short by 15-20 runs. England is playing an extra batsman while pakistan is palying an extra bowler today so it will be an interesting chase. England's game to lose from here.

 

[PakPremi]

So Imad at least has conceded bowling slower is more fruitful, so let's hope Pak spinners actually do that.

 

[Titan24]

Fighting total.... Spinners will hold the key..If Imad can get 1-2. wickets in opening spell..then game onnnn

I think Eng will try to go after him with his drift. If he can turn a couple with the new ball, it could be useful.

 

[sharmaji]

Why are you comparing Rizwan with Shaw? Because they're both openers? If so, then a fair comparison would be between Rizwan and Rohit. In which case, I would choose Rohit over Rizwan.

Great knock from Rizwan.

Wish Shaw batted with same awareness, we won't had to bank on bowlers to chase down 275.

Fair to say, Shaw is a poor man's Rizwan

 

[Last Monetarist]

England should chase this target fairly comfortably, Pakistan are 20-25 runs short.

 

[PakPremi]

Lol how can people blame Rizwan for Pak's middle order misfiring?

Rizwan was brilliant he faced only 55,other than Fakhar no one supported him.

 

[AdamM97]

20 runs short imo but I’m still looking forward to watching Usman Qadir bowl.

 

[Hawkeye]

very good score on a turning track....pakistan should comfortably win this

)

Good comedy.

England will chase this in no time.

 

[silentkiller187]

Lot of stick for rizwan, but babar is the one that needs to drop down to accommodate fakhar at the top

 

[Jazx]

Someone pls explain the logic behind playing 6 bowlers. Amazing think tank of pakistan. Normally a team comprises of 4 frontline bowlers with 2-3 part timers but what was this.

 

[ahmed16]

Hasan Ali selfish hogging of strike could cost Pakistan, there was a rtwo and three in taking but he turned his bat for his own heroics and ended up wasting those balls.

'selfish hogging of the strike' is such a poor analysis, he did anything but and was looking for quick runs as you do in the 19th over and was outthought by Chris Jordan. Already looking for a scapegoat!

 

[silentkiller187]

Butler will show us how to play spin

 

[IMMY69]

Roy is always angry

 

[Yasir_ch]

This should be end of misbah the destroyer of Pakistan cricket.

 

[PakFan2010]

What awful bowling.

Take pace off the ball you idiot.

 

[Walawalkar]

I think Eng will try to go after him with his drift. If he can turn a couple with the new ball, it could be useful.

So far going easy against him..

 

[Rana]

Shaheen no swing

 

[Walawalkar]

Bad News For Pakistan.. England have a Plan...need wickets

 

[silentkiller187]

Too easy at the moment poor from shaheen

 

[King_Kohli]

This should be end of misbah the destroyer of Pakistan cricket.

Don't you feel bored?

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Game set match yaar

 

[Titan24]

So far going easy against him..

Yes. They are loving Shaheen from other side.

 

[Fazzy321]

No bowling plan from Pakistan simply pathetic atleast learn something from England

 

[Yasir_ch]

Don't you feel boring?

I don't know what you are talking about.
But misbah is destroyer of Pakistan cricket.He is the worst thing ever happened to Pakistan cricket.
How I wish he had never played cricket for Pakistan.

 

[Walawalkar]

Yes. They are loving Shaheen from other side.

There you go. .not blindly slogging...will only feast on bad balls against Spinners

 

[Rana]

Shaheen is as garbage as Rauf

 

[AdamM97]

Continue with spin at the other enf

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Imad bowling very well

 

[Rana]

Once again Imad recovering it for Pakistan

Much better bowler when he slows it down

 

[silentkiller187]

Get Hassan Ali on

 

[Titan24]

Need spinner from the other end as well

 

[Rana]

Could be a decent track for Hassan

 

[AdamM97]

The last thing I want to see is Haris Rauf with another over in the powerplay. The match will be over before we even know it

 

[AAli98]

As per shoaib akhtar if Pak loses this game misbah & waqar are out.. but Shoaib is known for chatting ****

 

[Hawkeye]

Don't you feel bored?

Misbah used to steal [MENTION=154661]Yasir_ch[/MENTION] 's lunch at school.

There's no talent in the batters, they can't bat even when given a strategy, and somehow coach is responsible for everything.

Misbah can't go and bat for them, hit sixes vs. spinners (he was great at it).

 

[MRSN]

What awful bowling.

Take pace off the ball you idiot.

Or change line or ask for field change. Zero intelligence and low IQ player Shaheen. It doesn't help when you have a robot captain can't spot field change. This is why we are such a pathetic team can't get from low tier to mid tier.

 

[AdamM97]

The last thing I want to see is Haris Rauf with another over in the powerplay. The match will be over before we even know it

Just realized he’s not in the team lol

 

[Rana]

At some point as a bowler you get sick of Butler just toying with you like he always does. You must channel some inner aggression towards him or he will continue to get on top of you

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Buttler and Bairstow may be cleaner hitters but there's something very brutal, primal and intimidating about the way Roy goes about his business that scares bowling teams. On flat pitches, he's got swagger that's second to none .

 

[Rana]

Much better from Hassan.

 

[AdamM97]

As per shoaib akhtar if Pak loses this game misbah & waqar are out.. but Shoaib is known for chatting ****

I think Misbah and Waqar might stay until the T20 WC. They’ll definitely be sacked afterwards, no justification for the recent performances.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

And what about Misbah not sending Hassan up the batting order which any idiot coach would do in this situation

 

[sharmaji]

Pak bowling well. So far, the game is balanced.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Beautiful over so far from Hassan

 

[Rana]

A bit of a hack. This is the perfect pace from Hassan on this track

 

[Rana]

Big chance to pick up a wicket in the next over with Imad

 

[King_Kohli]

Exactly
Blaming Misbah for everything is not correct.

 

[Walawalkar]

Good Over Hasan

 

[Hawkeye]

Pak bowling well. So far, the game is balanced.

Not balanced.
They're just toying with us.

 

[silentkiller187]

The problem is one good over and then someone throws it away other end

 

[Rana]

Too full

 

[Rana]

Great reply ball

 

[Walawalkar]

This England White ball team is absolute beast...gonna win lots of ICC trophies in coming years..

 

[Hawkeye]

Exactly
Blaming Misbah for everything is not correct.

There's this certain group of people that hate him and blame him for everything.
Except when we win lol.

Misbah was a great batter and would have teared apart today's spin attack of England.

Several lusty blows each over of Moeen, Rashid and Livingstone.

 

[silentkiller187]

Butler nearly done a babar lucky

 

[Titan24]

For what exactly are they saving leggies for. Should ball one of them in the powerplay as well wicket is a necessity here

 

[dildilpak]

For what exactly are they saving leggies for. Should ball one of them in the powerplay as well wicket is a necessity here

Exactly. Poor captaincy.

 

[sharmaji]

Buttler is struggling. I sense a wicket coming soon. But the problem is this Eng team bats deep.

Not balanced.
They're just toying with us.

 

[sharmaji]

Hasan Ali is bowling rockets.

 

[Darkrai]

Come on smash this slow bowler.

 

[Fazzy321]

No wicket so far and England bat deep England game to lose

 

[King_Kohli]

Pakistan were 50/1 after 6 overs.
Good comeback after Shaheen's big over.

 

[Rana]

This is phenomenal stuff from Hassan Ali

 

[King_Kohli]

Hasan Ali is more intelligent bowler than Shaheen.
Showing lot of variations.

 

[silentkiller187]

Hassan Ali bowling well but England can afford to just see him out.

 

[Rana]

Butler was gone had that hit, his bat was stuck outside of the crease

 

[Titan24]

Hassan bowling intelligently and good pace on stock balls.
