England vs Pakistan | 2nd T20I | Manchester | Aug 30, 2020 | Pakistan innings

[Titan24]

Hafeez needs to get that inner ABD turned on

 

[watson367]

Class from the professor

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan need 180

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Someone needs to bat @200 strike rate to reach 200.

 

[Slim]

If its between Hafeez and Malik, i would pick Hafeez any day, always have.

 

[Greenstorm]

Havent seen Zeeshan Malik’s game against spin. Ashraf looked decent and Haider has been okay as well I guess. Surely Zeeshan Ashraf can be tried as a keeper in T20s

Zeeshan Malik is the best I have seen since Hafeez and Malik who can use his feet and hit down the ground against spinners.

 

[QalandarFan]

Hafeez needs to pick up the pace here, can’t be going at under a run a ball when Babar is already batting just above a run a ball.

 

[Dark_Horse]

What a shot by hafeez for 4

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

One boundary every over. Amazing keep it up boys. Babar on fire now

 

[coy0607]

I swear the amount of times I’ve seen Fakhar get out to spinners playing that slog sweep.

He lacks cricketing IQ. After the first 6, he tried the exact same shot on the next 2 balls, against one of the premier T20 spinners.
Rashid adjusted, Fakhar didn't

Disappointing end to what was looking like a promising innings.

 

[Slim]

Pure class from Babar.

 

[topspin]

I rather have professor from Money Heist play

This is a gem

 

[Markhor]

Fifty up for Babar, well played.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

back to back 4's

50 Babar 37 balls

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Back to back beautiful shots from Babar to get 50

 

[QalandarFan]

Babar will get his first T20I hundred today folks. it’s

 

[Zeshan547]

Rizwan should come at number 8 now in this scenario, he has same problem what we have with sarfi, such a big population and can't find a decent aggressive keeper. what a shame.

 

[Slim]

Back to back fours for a fifty. Well done, captain!

 

[Titan24]

Now that the T20 has been postponed/cancelled, look at how England are experimenting with their team whereas we got youngster beauties like Hafeez and Malik.

Pakistan need to learn from how England go about succession planning but thanks to Misbah he has boosted the never ending toxic seniority culture.

Couple of youngsters in the middle and a young spinner in either Umer Khan and Zafar Gohar could have been easily tried in this series

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Six coming up

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Younis Khan yet to complete his kids assignments.

 

[Mesozoic]

Babar is potentially playing a match losing innings here.

Scratch that. He is picking up now.

 

[watson367]

Majestic

 

[Hasan123]

Babar taking Rashid apart. Younis Khan effect surely.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Hafeez

Why not leave that it would have been a wide

 

[Zeshan547]

Youngsta beauty almost gifted a catch on that lollipop.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Well played Kaptaan Babar Azam. Really good knock.

 

[Firebat]

Class single from Professor ABD himself off the juiciest full toss ever bowled.

 

[msb314]

Can’t stand Hafeez anymore...

 

[Titan24]

Babar is pure class. After Yousuf he is one batsman who makes batting looks so easy to me

 

[Slim]

RR up to 9 now, steady.

 

[MRSN]

good over this for Pakistan..10 overs already from this over. Wasim is smoking something hot.

 

[Ahmed216]

U cant blame hafeez here for missing out on freebies. He's still a youngsta finding his way into the team

 

[TeymurBlake]

Mohammad "Expect the Unexpected" Hafeez back at it again.

 

[oatmeal]

Great batting by Babar, scored at a quick pace but never looked like he was slogging

 

[Greenstorm]

Babar is potentially playing a match losing innings here.

Seems like you have never seen Malik and Hafeez bat.

 

[coy0607]

juicy, wide full toss - ghariboon ka professor chips it away for a single

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Jimmy Anderson puts Babar in the same category of Kohli and Smith.

 

[Slim]

Look at the wagon wheel from Babar - quality bat.

 

[QalandarFan]

He lacks cricketing IQ. After the first 6, he tried the exact same shot on the next 2 balls, against one of the premier T20 spinners.
Rashid adjusted, Fakhar didn't

Disappointing end to what was looking like a promising innings.

That too, however looks like he has no other shot against the spinners when looking to score boundaries. The bowl was at about 7/8th stump and he’s trying to slog sweep it? If the ball is at the wickets ok I’ll let it slide but the ball is so wide and he’s trying to slog sweep I’ve seen him get out like that too many times. As a spinner when he’s trying to score boundaries you just gotta bowl it wide to get him out honestly.

 

[watson367]

Give Hafeez 3 years to find his feet in international cricket.

 

[Markhor]

Class is back in session.

 

[shah_1]

Hafeez beauty

 

[Titan24]

Zeeshan Malik is the best I have seen since Hafeez and Malik who can use his feet and hit down the ground against spinners.

Thanks for the info, its really heartening to hear.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Reckons Pakistan should be getting 200+

 

[TeymurBlake]

Chakka from youngsta beauty.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Pakistan need to learn from how England go about succession planning but thanks to Misbah he has boosted the never ending toxic seniority culture.

Its a culture thing as well. In Pak politics you also see that everyone is just thinking about cashing in instead of thinking about future generations. Long term planning is non-existent in Pakistan.

 

[Slim]

Hahahaha thats what im talking about - Hafeez with a banger.

 

[watson367]

Poetry in motion

 

[QalandarFan]

Congrats to Hafeez Sobers 2000 T20I runs! It’s been such a pleasure to watch this legend bat over the years and what a shot for the legend to get there!

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Super talent M Hafeez on it again. World's oldest allrounder doing it again.

 

[Titan24]

Babar bats at SR of 135 for his 50 without even a sweat

 

[TeymurBlake]

Cr*p, England have found Supa mard Hafeez's.

The SHORT Ball.

 

[Titan24]

Hafeez’s ABD mode on

 

[oatmeal]

Hafeez average is only 25 after playing for so long

 

[QalandarFan]

Babar bats at SR of 135 for his 50 without even a sweat

He’s different, there’s a reason he’s number 1 in T20I’s. Imagine if he batted like that in ODI’s too.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Umar Akmal in Pak's top three run scorers list? The guy has hardly played in the last five years!

 

[Zeshan547]

Just 8 over remaining 9 wickets in hand, anything less than 200 would be criminal from here on.

 

[Slim]

You could see that the field was being set up for a short ball and there it was, pretty obvious.

 

[coy0607]

Now that the T20 has been postponed/cancelled, look at how England are experimenting with their team whereas we got youngster beauties like Hafeez and Malik.

Pakistan need to learn from how England go about succession planning but thanks to Misbah he has boosted the never ending toxic seniority culture.

England have put on clinic on how to manage players throughout the tour. Changing the team & management entirely from T20 to Tests, experimenting with fresh faces (Crawley) and rotating players (Archer). This is a world class organization run by actual professionals.

They dodged a huge bullet not getting Wasim Khan

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

12 overs 109
Next 3 overs target - get to 140 at 10 an over Minimum with one more wicket down

 

[TeymurBlake]

LOOL!!!

Hafeez please never change

 

[Hasan123]

Need to get close to 200. 170 won't be enough.

 

[Local.Dada]

This English bowling attack is so mediocre lol.

Pak playing the same line up they would play if they somehow reached the WT20 final and England trying out players who are probably at best 3rd/ 4th string

Forget England series or WT20 Pak would play this line up even if it is Namibia/ Papu new Guinea

 

[Titan24]

It has to be Shadab, Iftikhar and Imad next in number

 

[Greenstorm]

Rashid is bowling so much filth.

 

[msb314]

Please retire hafeez..

 

[nextover666666]

2020 the year of Mohammad hafeez lol

 

[Markhor]

Babar gone. Pakistan couldn't put away the looseners.

 

[castortroy]

Lucky to get 175 now

 

[QalandarFan]

Rashid has bowled absolute garbage today lmao, everything looks short and fast, not even trying to spin it seems like.

Idk how he’s got 2 wickets smh.

 

[Greenstorm]

Hafeez gets Babar's wicket.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Soft dismissal for Babar. Need 180+

 

[Titan24]

This English bowling attack is so mediocre lol.

Pak playing the same line up they would play if they somehow reached the WT20 final and England trying out players who are probably at best 3rd/ 4th string

Rashid, Curran, Moen and Jordan have been regulars in Eng T20 squads.

 

[Zeshan547]

Ideal time for second youngster Malik to bash spin for fun.

 

[nextover666666]

Babar gone for 56 wanted to see a century

 

[Markhor]

Rashid is bowling so much filth.

And not being punished !

Now Malik here to drop anchor.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Oh my days....

Hafeez and Malik at the crease.

 

[Slim]

Put himself under unnecessary pressure, Babar. Gone.

 

[castortroy]

England have bowled a lot of freebies but we have failed to capitalise
