England (158/3) secure a 7-wicket victory against Pakistan (157/10) in the fourth T20I to win the series 2-0

[apnapind]

Imad is resting because of injury although it might be a farce the same incident happened with shan masood and imam a year back.

Regardless I told you boys, clueless captain will never have abrar and imad both play in one game

Look i know what babar is thinking he wants batting depth plus great fielder so he will always go for shadab unless it is pure spinning wicket compare to india who will play jadeja in t20 no matter what.

 

[PakFan2010]

Babar and Rizwan opening.

We are back to the good old days.

 

[Rana]

Mark Wood and Archer both in the XI

Serious

 

[Rana]

Imad Wasim has been advised to take rest and will not participate in the fourth T20I against England.

Rest from what?

Babar’s constant attempts to sideline him?

 

[mominsaigol]

Look i know what babar is thinking he wants batting depth plus great fielder so he will always go for shadab unless it is pure spinning wicket compare to india who will play jadeja in t20 no matter what.

Naw, if he wanted extra batting depth he wouldn't remove a batter for a no 11 spinner.

He wants spinners as he knows it's a spin wicket like last game but he's too nepotistic and friendly with shadab to drop him.

He desperately wants shadab to be the better allrounder over imad, because he and imad don't gell that well

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Shaheen, Aamir, Rauf and Naseem in the same attack. Is this the greatest T20I pace attack ever ?

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Babar and Rizwan opening.

We are back to the good old days.

No Rizwan should open with Usman

 

[Devadwal]

Replace Shadab with imad and this is Pakistan best possible playing eleven for match against india .

 

[mominsaigol]

Shaheen, Aamir, Rauf and Naseem in the same attack. Is this the greatest T20I pace attack ever ?

It's better then last games. Besides shadab that is. Imad over shadab anyday.

Ahrar should be in place of sheddy

 

[cricketmania22]

What a ridiculous playing XI. I was hoping they would play Abrar and play UK as an opener. The whole team management and captain are clueless. Shadab is still in the team. Utter nonsense!

 

[Alter_Ego]

Does Babar have a grudge against Abrar? Why is he never in the playing 11?

 

[YousafTheBeast]

30 mins between toss and play is a joke. If they can do 20 mins innings break then they can start play after toss in 10-15 mins.

 

[Rana]

No Rizwan should open with Usman

That’s not how he has been listed in that team sheet

 

[NeVerMind]

No Rizwan should open with Usman

Ball is going to seam early on so perhaps not a good idea...

 

[Rana]

Ball is going to seam early on so perhaps not a good idea...

It’s not Test cricket

You can’t hide players

 

[mominsaigol]

That’s not how he has been listed in that team sheet

Archer, wood or moeen ali will get rid of rizwan.

Infact moeen ali has rizwan figured out the most, he figured him out in wc 2023 as well

 

[NeVerMind]

It’s not Test cricket

You can’t hide players

But for someone who is lacking confidence and just started his international career, it's not a good idea...rather he comes in late when ball is a bit softer and smacks it around

 

[Rana]

Wicket of the World Cup history for me that

 

[PakPremi]

Replace Shadab with imad and this is Pakistan best possible playing eleven for match against india .

Nah Abrar has to be in for one of the pacer.

 

[mominsaigol]

But for someone who needs some confidence and just started his international career, it's not a good idea...rather he comes in late when ball is a bit softer and smacks it around

Wouldn't you wanna give him confidence by encouraging him to go out their and smack and not worry?

What kind of confidence involves you hiding, playing at no 3, no 3 which is classical considered the best batting position for your best batsmen?

What is the team management saying? Usman khan you are the best batsmen in our squad

 

[The Bald Eagle]

What stupidity, just start the game before rain starts again

 

[NeVerMind]

Well whatever happens, we are going to lose a wicket or two quickly so you will see Usman in early even if he doesn't open...

 

[Rana]

This is enraging seeing these two open

 

[Nikhil_cric]

What stupidity, just start the game before rain starts again

It's an archaic sport . Needs to move on with the times instead of strictly adhering to traditions.

 

[Usman Chadda]

England has picked a scary team to be honest.

 

[Rana]

Come on England!!

 

[mominsaigol]

This is enraging seeing these two open

It was going to happen eventually bro

 

[emranabbas]

Babar and rizwan let's see their version of aggressive cricket

 

[Kroll]

Rizba to flay the ball over the park, 70 runs after the pp.

 

[emranabbas]

Rizwan walking wicket infront of wood and archer

 

[Usman Chadda]

All of Pakistan will be enraged today

 

[cricketmania22]

England has a very good bowling line up.

 

[Omer2002]

WHat kind of team is this seriously..so much bowling again 4 tail ender pacers and check englands batting strengty

 

[AAli98]

If Baba can hit wood for a 6 that’s equivalent to a icc trophy for Pak !!

 

[emranabbas]

I see a maiden over

 

[Rana]

This chawwal has an issue with the sightscreen now

 

[jnaveen1980]

If Baba can hit wood for a 6 that’s equivalent to a icc trophy for Pak !!

Actually youcan use his pace to hit him for six. Even Krunal pandya has hit him for six.

 

[Kroll]

No worries, best opening partnership in history of cricket in operation.

 

[emranabbas]

If Baba can hit wood for a 6 that’s equivalent to a icc trophy for Pak !!

Babar can only bully ireland bowlers

 

[TeymurBlake]

Riz is already struggling.

 

[heddie19]

Replace Shadab with imad and this is Pakistan best possible playing eleven for match against india .

Reasony why Imad isn't playing today.

 

[Rana]

Come on Mark. Knock this fraud over

 

[TeymurBlake]

Bloodbath coming boys.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is similar to Rizwan getting out to Thakur's outswinger

 

[cricketmania22]

There is grass on the pitch, that means slower than the usual start. Movement and pace, would be a tough first few overs.

Good toss to win.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Outswing at 153 kph. He is a very rare bowler

 

[NeVerMind]

Ball seaming as expected...forget scoring fast, if they survive, they would have done well

 

[emranabbas]

Rizwan struggling

 

[Kroll]

C'mon launch this soda bowler to the stands!

 

[Barragan]

Usman should have been given a chance as an opener.

 

[RidiculousMan]

England have got two pacers who can bowl 150+ dashing openers. Aggressive middle order. Great leg spinner and a Moeen Ali.

Still not sure why some people still don't believe England are not the top 2 teams of this WT20.

 

[Kroll]

4444444444444444444444444444444

 

[emranabbas]

Good shot by babar 400 strike rate already

 

[TeymurBlake]

I wonder what the par score here is?

Eh, Bobby?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

England have got two pacers who can bowl 150+ dashing openers. Aggressive middle order. Great leg spinner and a Moeen Ali.

Still not sure why some people still don't believe England are not the top 2 teams of this WT20.

They said the same thing in 2023.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Mark wood at his pace should learn to bowl yorkers. He will be even more lethal. He is somewhat predictable. That is his only downside.

 

[Human786]

8 in 1st

 

[cricketmania22]

Not bad 8 off the first over.

 

[AAli98]

Stay in boys with garbage like Ifty azam shadab coming in bat till 19.2 overs !

 

[Human786]

180 par ?

 

[Usman Chadda]

England have got two pacers who can bowl 150+ dashing openers. Aggressive middle order. Great leg spinner and a Moeen Ali.

Still not sure why some people still don't believe England are not the top 2 teams of this WT20.

Something to do with their capitulation in the 2023WC.

Completely different format though, so I don’t agree with that.

 

[cricketmania22]

Mark wood at his pace should learn to bowl yorkers. He will be even more lethal. He is somewhat predictable. That is his only downside.

With that much grass on the pitch and overcast conditions you would want to bowl length ball early on this pitch. Additionally, Yorkers early on without swing are freebies.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Good going so far.

 

[MenInG]

Decent start (1 over though)

 

[RidiculousMan]

Babar will get bowled against Jofra on that in diper.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Minimum 180 needed here. 200 is a definite win for PAK.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Theirs that bouncer.

 

[hafizexpress]

That was sublime timing on a 96 mph ball. Riz is gonna look like a tailender for now tho

 

[emranabbas]

Babar is just not an aggressive batsmen, he's trying too hard

 

[Human786]

13 in 2

 

[Rana]

Unreal start

13-0 after 2

 

[jnaveen1980]

180 par ?

Yea.. Last year Finn Allen played an absolute blinder at the Edgbaston albeit against Luke wood not Mark wood

 

[Kroll]

44444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444

 

[Barragan]

A wide delivery and Babar misses out

This is the problem

 

[mon858]

should have let Usman open.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Boundary ropes are well in infront of the wicket. Too bad. Barely crossed 30 yard circle. It is a 4.

 

[emranabbas]

Rizu bhai going for it wicket incoming

 

[Human786]

Yea.. Last year Finn Allen played an absolute blinder at the Edgbaston albeit against Luke wood not Mark wood

Wood ki pitai ho rahi hai

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Decent start for PAK. Just bat normally and setup for 180. If you have wickets in hand, you can always explode in the lasy 5 and look for 200.

 

[Devadwal]

Finally Pakistan get back to right opening combination ahead of WT20 .
