No rauf but Pakistan should be able to clinch the series

 

[asadee]

Too much dew so don't know if spinners will be effective

 

[Marooned]

No rauf but Pakistan should be able to clinch the series

Dripping with dew last 2 overs.

 

[Rana]

I guess we are 50 runs short without our key batsman

 

[daytrader]

Spinners will be key. Should aim for at least 10 overs of spin

 

[Rana]

Very hard to time the ball in this track

Chacha, Nawaz and Shadab hold the key

 

[Nasty Naz]

Pakistan should have looked to accelerate a bit sooner, particularly Babar who only accelerated after his fifty. Ifti was the aggressor in the partnership.

Asif Ali unfortunately played a poor innings and lost the momentum. His ducking was also... just, sigh. What are you doing man? He played 2 dots, got out and the following over also had 2 dots to start which killed any chance of Pakistan getting 180.

Good over at the end to still get a decent total. Hard to feel great about defending it considering the pace attack but could be a game that sees 10-12 overs from spin today.

 

[Ashmal]

Too much dew tonight....won't be easy for bowlers to defend this

 

[Sherazkhalid]

No rauf but Pakistan should be able to clinch the series

What happened to Rauf? I totally missed that he is not playing.

 

[Titan24]

Pak needs to drop a batsman next match. When you have Shadab, Jamal and Wasim Jr still to come then the batting depth is too much and its better to balance it to give more options in bowling. As said in the last match that with both Wasim and Jamal, Pak can easily play 4 seamers along side spin options in Shadab, Nawaz and Ifti

 

[Titan24]

What happened to Rauf? I totally missed that he is not playing.

Rested. Has been playing regular cricket

 

[Marooned]

We really need to make sense of Jamal selection.

He probably provides as much batting as any of our MO batsmen.

We should put him in the team in place of Shan or Haider.

Shadab should bat up the order.

This way we have 4 seam options plus, the batting is pretty much unaffected.

It's a terrible strategy to lengthen the batting lineup at the cost of bowling in t20s.

Most times, they won't get to bat.

100%

What doesn't the TM see this?

Shan or Haider

Both are useless

 

[TeymurBlake]

Spinners need to do there job.

 

[Marooned]

Spinners need to do there job.

Dew will kill them I think.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Shan or Haider

Both are useless

Both being dropped isn't a bad idea.

 

[shamaan]

Nexg game time they need to promote shadab up the order.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Dew will kill them I think.

As long as they keep it tight and variations of speed is essential.

 

[shamaan]

If thiers someone who may struggle out of the spinners it will be shadab becouse he different variations.

 

[Marooned]

From what I saw Topely was battling a frightening amount of dew in that last over.

 

[t_kaay]

Expect some fireworks from England. They got nothing to lose with the series on the line

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Shan or Haider

Both are useless

Never thought i be saying that bring back Fakhar.

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

i would want Shah to not get dropped, he is still useless after making 30th comeback...not an international material...lets get him to fail to dump the myth
khurram manzoor v2 at best

 

[Sherazkhalid]

We got a PAR score without Rizwan, let's see if we can get a win without Rauf. Almost wicket on first ball.

 

[jattafridi]

Wow what a start from England

 

[Rana]

We got a PAR score without Rizwan, let's see if we can get a win without Rauf. Almost wicket on first ball.

Hahahahahaha

We got the score our captain wanted without Rizwan )

 

[Marooned]

Spinners will be useless today.

And our captain goes with 2 pacers+ 1 pace allrounder.

 

[Rana]

Much better from England today

 

[jattafridi]

7 wickets victory is coming

 

[Nasty Naz]

Early on but England seems to be timing it just fine.

 

[castortroy]

England will cruise this.

The ball is wet and soggy

 

[MenInG]

So much crying amongst Pak fans already!

 

[DRsohail]

So much crying amongst Pak fans already!

Hahaha they will always

 

[Marooned]

Topely was literally dripping that last over.

It will be comfortable for eng victory today.

 

[castortroy]

Like I said, the dew is in full effect.

Pak were 20 runs short

 

[Rana]

Slot ball Dahani

 

[ChTab]

That's the way to play in PP not like Babar

 

[ChTab]

Like I said, the dew is in full effect.

Pak were 20 runs short

Thanks to our Captain

 

[castortroy]

Pak pace attack will all get smashed

 

[t_kaay]

So much crying amongst Pak fans already!

Shocking really. Same fans will be back in 18 overs with a big hurrah. Obviously England are going to go for this with the series on the line. Plenty of cricket to play tonight

 

[Sherazkhalid]

This is getting done in a hurry

 

[Nasty Naz]

lol England having zero issues with timing. Pakistan started off with like 5 runs in 2 overs and having zero clue how to play.

 

[bujhee kom]

This looks done and dusted.

 

[castortroy]

Lol pak getting smashed here

 

[ChTab]

Dahani is so overrated by Pakistani fans. Out of him & Hasnain I'd prefer Hasnain because he has better pace & height, Dahani wins at theatrics

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Kind of shows that there are no demons in the pitch, we make things difficult.

 

[Ashmal]

lol England having zero issues with timing. Pakistan started off with like 5 runs in 2 overs and having zero clue how to play.

It's a different pitch now with all that dew.

It wasn't easy in first 10 ovs of the game.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Pak shud of got 180. Dahani still not matured

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Thanks to our Captain

You have agenda against Babar. The reality is Babar is too good for this shameful batting line up. You just have to live with it.

 

[Theo_14]

Pakistan fooled many thinking pitch was tough

 

[castortroy]

These 2 making a mockery of the average total

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Last match they gt away with it. But seems like dew in full force today already

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

This match is going in England's favour.

 

[Sarwar89]

Dahani is the most over rated bowler and over rated cricketer ( a creation of social media) i have ever seen.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Game over within the first two overs.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Don't think anyone should complain about Dahani being the lineup whatsoever at this point.

What a truly rubbish over.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Get aamer jamaal on

 

[Rana]

Well, this is the score the captain wanted

 

[PakEngFan]

Waiting for dhani to take a wicket and run around like a fool.

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

Dahani is not international caliber.

 

[ChTab]

So it seems I was right about Babar. He lacks intent & he's selfish. Pitch is perfect to score 200 runs.

 

[Nasty Naz]

It's a different pitch now with all that dew.

It wasn't easy in first 10 ovs of the game.

No, it's just Pakistani batsmen being not that good. Haris/Shan/Haider all looked brutal.

 

[Fazzy321]

England looking to win it with style

 

[Rana]

Wah

Kya powerplay batting hai

 

[TeymurBlake]

It is raining boundaries.

 

[alone1213]

Loved every bit of dahani's over. He deserves to get the phainty.

 

[castortroy]

This was always going to go to a decider.

The dew is ridiculous at lahore

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

People happily ignoring how awful Dhani has been, rubbing it with batting failure

 

[Rana]

Aamir Sohail was asking Butcher if England should also try the Pakistan approach in the powerplay )

 

[bujhee kom]

Dahani is not international caliber.

Has potential but no way near ready.

This match is over.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

So it seems I was right about Babar. He lacks intent & he's selfish. Pitch is perfect to score 200 runs.

He always thinks 160 is the target to set regardless of the pitch or opposition.

 

[t_kaay]

So it seems I was right about Babar. He lacks intent & he's selfish. Pitch is perfect to score 200 runs.

You do realise this is why England chose to chase? Do you know how dew affects the field?

 

[castortroy]

Remember this England team doesn't have

Stokes
Butler
Bairstow
Livingston

 

[The lone Ranger]

Salt is showing up finally

 

[Rana]

So our batting does well and now our bowlers are clueless

 

[castortroy]

Absolute carnage

 

[Sarwar89]

Remember this England team doesn't have

Stokes
Butler
Bairstow
Livingston

Remember this pakistan team does not have

Naseem
Shaheen
Rizwan
Fakhar

 

[alone1213]

Dahani should improve his game he is really awful. He has got zero skills.
