England v Pakistan | 3rd ODI | Birmingham | 13th July, 2021 | Pakistan innings

[Ahmed216]

Faheem is such a hit and miss player, would want somebody who can do things more consistently.

He does fail consistently

 

[AdamM97]

Anything less than 320 will be chased down imo

 

[Justcrazy]

227 . 2

60 balls to go , Pakistan should get to 300 here

 

[jattafridi]

Need 100 more runs

 

[Local.Dada]

Can Babar get a 200 here? The bowling seems to be super ordinary, he seems to be in great touch and the pitch is as flat as it gets and the conditions are sunny

 

[OldWarHorse]

Too short from Saqib this over

 

[JibranAnsari]

time for babar to get out

 

[Hitman]

This is is why Pakistan team is called unpredictable. I would have never imagined that they would be in the current position after how they started,

 

[Greenstorm]

This is one of our best team barring faheem. I wanted it to succeed so badly. Finally it has clicked

It's far from best. Imam is a liability and Shadab isn't of much use either.

 

[Rana]

Anyone recon Babar will get 160* here?

 

[Local.Dada]

Anyone recon Babar will get 160* here?

Cmon only 40 runs more with 9 overs to go for a well set bat?

 

[Sir-fraz]

Can Babar get a 200 here? The bowling seems to be super ordinary, he seems to be in great touch and the pitch is as flat as it gets and the conditions are sunny

Lol what are you smoking? Doesnt have the power game

 

[Rana]

Cmon only 40 runs more with 9 overs to go for a well set bat?

Being realistic

 

[Mesozoic]

Babar won't get better chance to get his 1st big daddy hundred.

Surprisingly he has zero 150+ scores in international cricket.

 

[Local.Dada]

Lol what are you smoking? Doesnt have the power game

The bowling is serving up pies and he is well set and 9 overs to go

 

[Greenstorm]

It's better for us if Babar loses his wicket here.

 

[AdamM97]

Send in Sohaib Maqsood and Hasan Ali in next. No point in bringing in Shadab or Saud

 

[Rana]

120 now for Babar

 

[Titan24]

Send in Sohaib Maqsood and Hasan Ali in next. No point in bringing in Shadab or Saud

Yes that should be the order in my opinion as well.

 

[Justcrazy]

Babar 122 from 118 balls , he is well set for a big hundred here

 

[Rana]

Rizwan needs to read the script and keep giving the strike to Babar

 

[Greenstorm]

Anyone recon Babar will get 160* here?

No

 

[Ahmed216]

It's better for us if Babar loses his wicket here.

I get ur point but really the big hitters to follow got no pedigree. They are sooo unreliable

 

[Local.Dada]

Great shot but this isn’t going to any favors, how did Pakistan get bowled out for less than 200 twice against this bowling lol this is going to be the opening statement of a lot of Pakistani cricket experts on YouTube

 

[Rana]

class pull!

124*

 

[jattafridi]

Come on Pakistan we need 327

 

[Titan24]

Exceptional gap finding from Babar here

 

[Rana]

Go on then Rizzy lets see a six

 

[Local.Dada]

No chance for the English hacks to chase this against Pak bowling. Pak batsmen might as well have some fun now

 

[Rana]

Babar's already got his career best i think

 

[Ahmed216]

Exceptional gap finding from Babar here

This is how he should bat in slog overs. Keep his shape and pick the gaps like mohammad yousuf

 

[Greenstorm]

I get ur point but really the big hitters to follow got no pedigree. They are sooo unreliable

It's only 7 overs. Both Sohaib and Hassan are good enough for little cameos.

 

[AdamM97]

All-time best ODI score. Took only 4 years to break for Babar

 

[Titan24]

Babar won't get better chance to get his 1st big daddy hundred.

Surprisingly he has zero 150+ scores in international cricket.

When he started his acceleration after getting set was pretty weak, now with more further growth and development as a player I think he should be able to get slightly bigger one.

 

[Greenstorm]

Babar is playing fine today. Powerless Rizwan needs to go.

 

[Mesozoic]

No chance for the English hacks to chase this against Pak bowling. Pak batsmen might as well have some fun now

Yeah their inexperience will finally show today.

I'd have backed the full strength Eng team to chase this down in 45 overs.

 

[Gullycricket]

Dropped. It's our day

 

[jattafridi]

Drop catch )

 

[Zeshan547]

It's only 7 overs. Both Sohaib and Hassan are good enough for little cameos.

Don't worry misbah got you covered he will send Saud and Shadab instead of Maqsood and Hassan.

 

[Greenstorm]

Remember what Hassan did to Parkinson. We are missing out.

 

[Gullycricket]

Rizz sweeps so good. Like Sarfaraz who was also good

 

[Titan24]

This is how he should bat in slog overs. Keep his shape and pick the gaps like mohammad yousuf

True and in between he will get those six hitting balls as well on which he can capitalize on rather than trying to force those and losing his shape.

 

[Rana]

Babar toeing nearly everything but 6

 

[Gullycricket]

Shotttt

 

[Justcrazy]

SIXXXX
Babar playing a captains knock here

 

[Titan24]

Have really enjoyed this partnership so far, just like the one they had in SA while chasing 200+ in T20

 

[Omer2002]

Just to say hasan ali sent this leggie to the cleaners last game and they havent hit him at all

 

[Local.Dada]

Wow terrible bowling, this is the definition of halwa bowling but can’t blame the batsman, you still need to cash in

 

[Gullycricket]

This should have been a five match series

 

[Rana]

Babar 134*

 

[Titan24]

158 runs partnership now

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Watched highlights of thr second odi, man Pakistan will win the next World Cup I can tell. Hasan Ali and Shaheen Shah Afridi are the waqar and Wasim of Pakistan now. No need for overrated Amir. From England's side this new youngster Saqib Mahmood will take a 10fer against Bangladesh

 

[Rana]

seems like Babar cant be arsed with a 150+ score for himself

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan should be able to win this, there is no excuse .

 

[Rana]

Rizwan has been quite exceptional

 

[Titan24]

This should have been a five match series

5 match ODI series have been finished and all the series are 3 match ones in ODI super league. T20Is taking the 3 match series slot in most series have been one of the reasons.

Near the 50 overs world cup we might see some sort of an effort to get more ODIs.

 

[Fazzy321]

LOL dropped chance from Stokes

 

[Local.Dada]

Rizwan has been quite exceptional

Yes quality wise the best knock of this innings

 

[Titan24]

Rizwan has been quite exceptional

Yes generated the momentum for the team and kept going with it.

 

[Yk313]

The did not run when Babar skied that? Really really poor game awareness if that’s the case.

 

[Mesozoic]

I can't believe people here want sarfraz and Azam khan instead of Riwan.

 

[Rana]

139 now for Babar

Come on Bobby 180 is on for you!

 

[Local.Dada]

70 mph short ball )

 

[Gullycricket]

5 match ODI series have been finished and all the series are 3 match ones in ODI super league. T20Is taking the 3 match series slot in most series have been one of the reasons.

Oh didn't know that. Thanks

 

[Titan24]

Yes quality wise the best knock of this innings

Bit harsh on Babar I would say because that early period in Eng is alway tricky and Babar batted pretty well in that with Imam.

However, Rizwan has been exceptional without a doubt. Did exactly what was required after that base and what the team needed, providing the necessary momentum.

 

[sindhiboy]

Maqsood facing 60 balls on this pitch would've been handy

 

[Local.Dada]

I can't believe people here want sarfraz and Azam khan instead of Riwan.

Pakistani fans want flashy players. Just watch how they will eventually turn on Saud who is a decent find but not the kind of players they usually adore.

 

[Gullycricket]

Secretly now I crave for Sohaib Maqsood batting at end

 

[Justcrazy]

Four ....

Babar is hitting effortlessly

 

[Rana]

145 now from Babar!

 

[Gullycricket]

What a flowy shot

 

[Justcrazy]

Six .....

Babar in full flow

 

[Local.Dada]

Bit harsh on Babar I would say because that easy period in Eng is alway tricky and Babar batted pretty well in that with Imam.

However, Rizwan has been exceptional without a doubt. Did exactly what was required after that base and what the team needed, providing the necessary momentum.

Fair enough. Rizwan hasn’t played a single false shot, looked in control and has been chance less. Having said that probably Babar had a lot more at stake this innings.

 

[Mesozoic]

Babar might get a 200 lol. This is awful bowling.

 

[QalandarFan]

We shoulda swept this sorry England team lmao

 

[Rana]

Got away with that did Carse

 

[Gullycricket]

Babar should go all out. Punisher mode

 

[Rana]

Glad Overton's overs are finished. He was bowling ok here

 

[Justcrazy]

It is clear , for Pakistan to win , they need Babaar and / or Rizwan to fire

 

[Gullycricket]

We shoulda swept this sorry England team lmao

I think it was about not able to adjust to conditions and we gave too many wickets upfront to Saqib
