ICC CT 2017 | India v Pakistan | 4th June, 2017 | Birmingham | Pakistan innings

[Greenshadow]

I don't understand why Fahim Ashraf isn't playing.

 

[Zak_Fan]

Swing at 140kph for Bhuvi. Beautiful !

 

[Rayyman]

Can't play slow like India did. We don't have guys like Yuvraj and Pandya. Need to score quicker.

 

[JaDed]

No early breakthroughs well done to Pak

 

[adzzy786]

Come on Shehzad!!!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Nothing batting by shehzad.

 

[MMHS]

Going for an onion cut break ...............

 

[srh]

Azhar can be perfect ODI opener partner for Sharjeel.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Next match Fahim must play

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

This is a belter. England or aus would chase this score for fun. Unfortunately we have a selfie king opening

Taking selfies requires skills, his selfies are better than Justin beaver

 

[hisham_ashraf]

The last 4 overs of the Indian innings just completely changed the whole game.Anything around 280-290 could have been chased but this is out of our reach.No hopes.....

 

[castortroy]

Looks like heavy rain is coming shortly

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan should make sure they do not loose wickets in bunches.

 

[shaz619]

ai hai hai hai kiyaa shot yaar, we are so good we send tailenders to open for us; India still can't get them out. Gulf in class between the teams somebody find us better competition please

 

[JibranAnsari]

Wicket coming

 

[Syed1]

Next match Fahim must play

Fahim, Junaid and Fakhar/Haris at the very least.

 

[On_the_up]

Every two overs pakistan need to get a boundary.

But that's a run rate of 2 per over?

 

[Justcrazy]

Rain may start very soon here , need to keep wickets intact.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

good steady start from pak...well done shehzad and azhar..

 

[WC-Passion]

Black clouds looking menacing

 

[Barragan]

Better length and seam position aswell.

Yeah, if you pitch it up now it will help

Overcast conditions are there to be exploited

Let's hope they blow away quickly

 

[hadi123]

These clouds look like it's gonna chuck it down

 

[Justcrazy]

But that's a run rate of 2 per over?

Apart from singles and twoes.

 

[castortroy]

Swinging it more than any of our bowlers

 

[adzzy786]

But that's a run rate of 2 per over?

I'm glad he's not planning the chase

 

[Zak_Fan]

Bhuvi swinging it both ways now.

 

[Syed1]

How come it starts swinging when our bowlers aren't bowling

 

[castortroy]

Rain has come

 

[shaz619]

At the same stage India were 14-0 ) )

PAKISTAN = 21 - 0

 

[BaaliSoda]

Bad weather stops the game again.

 

[imshally81]

Raining again

 

[Saeed]

Shahzad never looks comfortable. He needs to take singles, no point putting yourself under pressure for some fours.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Rain. Yaar we need a rain for 3 hours.

 

[QalandarFan]

I don't understand why Fahim Ashraf isn't playing.

He was getting carted around by the Aussie batsman that's the only reason I can think of.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Another boundary pls

 

[Sunzi]

Nice - rain-break

 

[Shafi]

Ramiz should apply for India passport. Doesn't sound he is commentary for Pakistan

 

[shaz619]

Ahead on the rate, rotating strike well, smashing boundaries, this is so damn easy

 

[castortroy]

We could be saved

 

[QalandarFan]

Come on man rain again!!

 

[On_the_up]

Apart from singles and twoes.

I jest of course, look after the pennies, the pounds will look after themselves.

 

[LegendInzi]

At the same stage India were 14-0 ) )

PAKISTAN = 21 - 0

Dude do you think we have anyone who can smack three sixes in last over like Pandya did?

 

[Shafi]

Never seen such a rubbish Pakistani team in my life.

 

[CricketAnalyst]

Actually given this constant rain, this low risk approach hasn't worked out too badly here. The longer it goes on the more Pakistan is being helped by the rain.

 

[WC-Passion]

Told you that the black clouds looked menacing

 

[Saeed]

Rain is saving Pak from humiliating loss.

 

[captain crook]

Pitch looks very easy, Pakistan very sharp and Indian bowling is looking weak. Shows that 350 is par here.

 

[HinderTheJinder]

Rain saving Pakistan

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Guys can we still win? And does rain help us out here ?

 

[theariezman]

The last 4 overs of the Indian innings just completely changed the whole game.Anything around 280-290 could have been chased but this is out of our reach.No hopes.....

if we could capitalize on those catches the score wasn't going any far from 280

 

[Markhor]

More rain once again.
[MENTION=46929]shaz619[/MENTION] - what a shambles from your city..

Even the Bradfield Village Fellowship Cricket Club in Sheffield would host a better event than Edgbaston :

 

[shaz619]

Dude do you think we have anyone who can smack three sixes in last over like Pandya did?

It won't come to that stage, our top order will get all the runs in advance

 

[Justcrazy]

Rain again.

 

[theariezman]

Guys can we still win? And does rain help us out here ?

Rain is not on Pakistan side...India score 319 DLS Target 324

 

[Square Drive]

OK this time I'm not gonna complain about the rain

 

[shravan]

Lot of Pakistani prayers being answered.

 

[On_the_up]

Only way to win here is by strategically being ahead of the DL rate at all times.

It needs 20 overs to constitute a match, just make sure you are well ahead of the par score by the time 20 overs are bowled. There aren't going to be too many more overs bowled than 20.

 

[BleedGreen]

Poor indians being saved from receiving a hammering

 

[Square Drive]

Rain is not on Pakistan side...India score 319 DLS Target 324

...Not if it keep raining for 2 more hours.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Bhuvi is a lot better than amir.

 

[Napa]

Rohit scoring at 76.47 gets out
Replaced by Yuvraj who scores at 165.62

Yuvraj scoring at 165.62 gets out
Replaced by Pandya who scores at 333.33

Lesson for Pakistan, don't get Indian batsmen out as the replaced will more than double the scoring rate!

 

[shah_1]

Shehzad is so bloody awful to watch.

Yasir Shah looks more assured than him

 

[Pete Rose]

India saved by the rain

 

[CricVet]

Wetter the outfield, the better it is for Pakistan if we are gonna have a result. Pak is playing well so far. This target is achievable if we suppress the fear of loss.

 

[Ahonnoha]

Should learn some swing and seam bowling tips from bhuvi

 

[shaz619]

More rain once again.
[MENTION=46929]shaz619[/MENTION] - what a shambles from your city..

Even the Bradfield Village Fellowship Cricket Club in Sheffield would host a better event than Edgbaston :

Don't blame us! it's all the people praying in India to save themselves from a humiliating defeat

 

[shehz]

Sorry to say but 22/0 in 5 overs is a good start to chase between 250-275 not 320..

 

[Madplayer]

Pakistan are winning this folks. Buy the party caps already

 

[Shafi]

Bye guys!!!! This team does not have any intent to win this match. Both Azhar and Shehzad batting make me sleepy

 

[FlickedOffHips]

no way Pak chase full total. But like Ramiz said, they can end up forward on DL if they don't lose wickets.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

What is D/L score for 20 overs and 0 wicket for Pakistan to win?

 

[TalentSpotterPk]

Guys can we still win? And does rain help us out here ?

Yes InshaAllah. We need to be 0-104 after 20 overs wrt DL.

 

[TalentSpotterPk]

What is D/L score for 20 overs and 0 wicket for Pakistan to win?

0-104

 

[hisham_ashraf]

if we could capitalize on those catches the score wasn't going any far from 280

Exactly!!!

 

[BleedGreen]

indians being saved

 

[pak4life]

rain forcast is for the next three hours. it might end up a short chase so over to our big hitters. wait we haven't got any.

 

[Markhor]

I hope we can jammy a win via D/L method.

Oh how times change.

 

[Gotham Cronie]

rain saving india from a azhar ali massacre

 

[Zak_Fan]

Plan should be to suffocate Pakistan for next few overs. Wouldn't mind Jaddu and Bhuvi bowling together.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

0-104

And if 1 or 2 wickets down?
