Eoin Morgan’s 33-ball 66 helps England to victory in 2nd T20I against Pakistan

[castortroy]

No can't bowl ifti another one here

Bad mistake by babar

Morgan is going to murder him

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Very good over from Haris.

 

[Slim]

I would have held shadab back

Aggressive decision by Babar - lets hope it pays off.

 

[castortroy]

No can't bowl ifti another one here

Bad mistake by babar

Morgan is going to murder him

As predicted

Babar choice to bowl ifti will cost the game

 

[AAli98]

Ifty showed he can't bat. Now showing he can't bowl.

 

[sweep_shot]

Iftikhar is getting his third over.

He has been very economical so far.

 

[Titan24]

Shadab just needs to keep it outside off. Okay iftikhar then, never mind

 

[Slim]

Its Ifthikar..

 

[IMMY69]

He’s bowling to short at Morgan

 

[King_Kohli]

To be fair, Billings barely plays. He is a bench player.

I agree
He is good player.
Unfortunately he missed WC because of injury.

 

[sweep_shot]

Six from Morgan.

Morgan is the only key wicket left. If he gets out, it is game over possibly.

 

[MMHS]

They should have carried with Shadab. England has Rashid at 10, better use of Shadab was probably to use him against middle order. In this ground with 6-7 wickets left 70 in six overs isn’t going to be that tough.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Poor captaincy.. should have given Shadab the ball.. too defensive from Babar

 

[IMMY69]

Ifti what are you doing?

 

[castortroy]

That's a ridiculous shot by morgan

Yep this over was the one

Wrong choice to bowl ifiti

 

[Mueez]

Misbah hahaha )

 

[castortroy]

Crazy bowling ifti with Morgan at the crease

 

[watson367]

Ifti is playing as 12th man for England

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Chacha should be more tight here

 

[Ahmed216]

One over too many for ifti. Poor captaincy

 

[sweep_shot]

Iftikhar did well during first 2 overs. This over has been a mess. 17 came from it.

3-0-30-0.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

This over could have won it for us if we had bowled Shady over chacha ifti

 

[Mueez]

Need to get Morgan out.

 

[Matty]

Another 4

We are playing like the world champions we are!

 

[IMMY69]

Ifti and Malik have so far been the difference

 

[AAli98]

Haris the only bowler from both teams to bowl the correct line & length for this pitch.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Match losing over from Iftikhar. Shouldn’t have given him a 3rd

 

[watson367]

Misbah going berserk

 

[castortroy]

Yep I said it before he bowled that over that babar choice to bowl ifti was going to decide the game

 

[Watsupdoc]

Pak is worrying too much here and will lose the game because of this.

Also one over too many for Ifti...

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Why the heck wud he give the bowl to ifti wen you have Hafeez left

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

That over made it easy for poms

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Misbah feeling the pressure... good to see.

 

[Slim]

Everyone called for Ifthikar to be given the ball, horrendous third over

 

[sweep_shot]

79 runs are needed from 8 overs.

117/2 after 12 overs.

 

[Markhor]

What was the point of a third over for part time Iftikhar ?

 

[castortroy]

Crazy to bowl part time spin to arguably the most destructive batter in world cricket

England should cruise this

 

[IMMY69]

What a pathetic match losing over that was!

 

[oatmeal]

Why is Mishah being so extra. He wasnt this animated even in the test series?

 

[King_Kohli]

Dawid Malan is first batsman in T20I history to start his career with 12 consecutive innings in two-digit scores (i.e 10 or more runs). No big failure yet

 

[sweep_shot]

This has been a good partnership. 52 runs came from 5.4 overs.

 

[castortroy]

Morgan is just ridiculous

Congrats England

 

[Syed1]

Thank you Misbah for imposing Ifti Chacha on us.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Game over

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Ridiculous hitting.. god I hate Morgan for doing this to us

 

[Mueez]

Yeah once again Umpires call costing the match.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

People will say again Haris bowled well, just came across good batting. Well that's why he is in the team, to not let batting be good.

 

[sweep_shot]

Why is Mishah being so extra. He wasnt this animated even in the test series?

I kind of agree. This is a bilateral game.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Why arent they bowling Hafeez.

 

[IMMY69]

Fine margin..

Malik and Ifti batted horribly

Shadab should easily have had Morgan out...

As it stands England are absolutely firm favourites

 

[Titan24]

Babar was going to ball Shadab but someone suggested to bowl Ifti.

 

[sweep_shot]

Morgan has reached 40* from 21 balls.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Haris Rauf intl career isn't going the way he thought it would.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Babar was going to ball Shadab but someone suggested to bowl Ifti.

Malik

 

[Titan24]

Eng’s match to loose from here

 

[castortroy]

Babar was going to ball Shadab but someone suggested to bowl Ifti.

Game changing over

Bowling trash spin against Morgan suicidal

 

[UP]

Need Morgan asap.

 

[Gullycricket]

And we are getting smashed with this much experience against England C. Pathetic

 

[Titan24]

Malik

Yup

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Haris Rauf intl career isn't going the way he thought it would.

Massive difference between a domestic league and international cricket

 

[Markhor]

Momentum back with England.

 

[watson367]

Amir McGrath warming up

 

[King_Kohli]

Imad concedes just three from his opening over. That’s no surprise given his supreme record against right-handers

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Morgan taking England home

 

[Titan24]

And we are getting smashed with this much experience against England C. Pathetic

Actually Morgan and Bairstow are not C team players and they have performed here

 

[TeymurBlake]

This is getting tight. The momentum is with England right now and with eight wickets in hand you can see why.

 

[IMMY69]

Eng’s match to loose from here

It was a good decision to hold back shadab with Amir injured and two lefties at the wicket.
However not a good decision to bowl Ifti instead...

 

[sweep_shot]

Rauf's figure: 2-0-18-0.

 

[asadee]

Match is gone

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

If Morgan stays till the end, England gonna win comfortably.

 

[castortroy]

On flat decks like this pak will always lose

Don't have the batters to compete on these tracks

 

[Syed1]

Pakistani bowling attack letting 190+ getting chased generally only happens when Misbah is in the mix..



Thank you Misbah. When will Wasim Khan realize this Misbah experiment is not working.

 

[neonoir]

Morgan should have been gone 2nd ball terrible umpiring

 

[watson367]

We are becoming a club level team

 

[King_Kohli]

Eoin Morgan in murderous mood. Pak wilting under his onslaught

 

[UP]

I remember Morgan chased down 175 odd last year against us in a similar situation - 90 was required in 53 balls. And he took it down easily. This guy always gets us.

 

[Omer2002]

Very good win for england reserve team...my goodness they have talent

 

[sweep_shot]

England need 66 runs from 42 balls.

It is getting tight for Pakistan.

 

[Titan24]

It was a good decision to hold back shadab with Amir injured and two lefties at the wicket.
However not a good decision to bowl Ifti instead...

Not much other options to be honest

 

[Savak]

On flat decks like this pak will always lose

Don't have the batters to compete on these tracks

Bowlers too. Defensive tight disciplined bowling is an art
