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

[marlonbrowndo]

If the chase is reduced to 30 overs, the target will be 229 which is really good for Pakistan considering that the required runnrate is already almost 7

 

[LegendInzi]

indians being saved

AccuWeather shows rain ending in next half hour.

 

[Square Drive]

If the chase is reduced to 30 overs, the target will be revised to 229.

 

[CricVet]

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

That is the plan 1 I believe. One target at a time. Hit the odd boundaries, and keep the rate around 5-6 for first 20 overs and DO NOT lose wicket.

 

[jaguarjack]

Pakistan can win this easily.. D/L par score after 20 over is 84/0 or 94/1 or 105/2. Keeping the wickets intact and running singles will win the match

 

[Slog]

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

Oh how times change.

Aren't we behind the eight ball on D/L method?

Have to score 6+ an over till 20th over

 

[Square Drive]

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

What about if we're 1 down?

 

[BleedGreen]

We can win this if we bat positively

 

[Madplayer]

This is a belter of a pitch. You dont realize how well the pakistanis (minus wahab) bowled for the 1st 44 overs.

 

[JibranAnsari]

0-104

How did you calculate it?

 

[Abdul]

Clear skies soon as this is just a passing shower.

 

[Ramsay]

If only 20 ov bowled target 173

If rain comes after 20 overs
To win Pak need to be...
104/0
114/1
128/2
146/3
168/4
194/5

Lol. So about 100 rains shaved off in 18 overs. That hardly helps our case.

 

[letme alone]

updat?

 

[Manager101]

"Rain the savior" - the match tier for Pakistan.

 

[Abhilash93]

And in case if it is a 20 over shoot out, Pakistan would need 173 to win.

 

[On_the_up]

Pakistan can win this easily.. D/L par score after 20 over is 84/0 or 94/1 or 105/2. Keeping the wickets intact and running singles will win the match

That sounds far too easy, thought DL these days was pretty fair to both teams in all scenarios.

 

[HinderTheJinder]

Rain stopped

 

[TalentSpotterPk]

What about if we're 1 down?

No idea brother but I guess 10-15 runs more.

How did you calculate it?

Rambo told.

 

[Zeshan547]

Target would be 230 if it's 30 over match mean we will need 200 in 25, only we had peak razzaq and Afridi.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Let's see how many overs we've lost. I'm guessing it'll be 3

 

[Dr_Bassim]

The only chance Pakistan has is a reduced match to 20-25 overs.

Try blasting to a win.

They cant stroke 320 runs in 48 overs.

Aint happening that way.

Rain will just help us either win or get a point.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan would be happy if more overs are reduced.

 

[HinderTheJinder]

Match might be restarted in 14 minutes

 

[desi_launda]

Rain has stopped guys

 

[Syed1]

How much longer that rain have to persist for the match to be called off?

 

[big_gamer007]

Rain will help Pakistan been saying this since morning, Pakistan can win now

 

[CricVet]

I wish if someone reveals the OFFICIAL D/L revised target for a 20-30 over game. I got the 30 overs 229 but where the rest is coming from?

 

[Arham_PakFan]

How much longer that rain have to persist for the match to be called off?

Around 45 mins-1 hour is my guess.

 

[yadunoe]

Thank the rain gods

 

[Boi]

Let's see how many overs we've lost. I'm guessing it'll be 3

An over is lost every 4/5 minutes. If we restart at 5pm local time then I'm guessing that's 8/9 overs lost.

 

[Syed1]

Around 45 mins-1 hour is my guess.

IA it will rain for the next 2 hours non-stop

 

[CricVet]

Rain will help Pakistan been saying this since morning, Pakistan can win now

That is a big IF. My question is that if Pak somehow finds a way to beat Ind with D/L, why could they not do so with full 48 overs?

[Syed1]

We would have been only chasing 280-290 if we had Junaid istead of Wahab and Amir had bowled his 2 remaining overs.

 

[MMHS]

DWL never helps in revise targets - it only helps in the match is stopped at mid point for good.

If PAK comes back for a short target,it'll be like 150 in 15/16 overs; but if it ends like PAK 120/1 after 20.2 overs, they steal a win. This is one flaw in DWL - I was surprised that in 2003 WC final, IND was actually winning at first break (around 150/2 in 23 or so overs, chasing 360).

But, I doubt if we get any game today - BBC weather is showing absolute down pour on Wolverhampton (north west of Birmingham) & in 4 hours time even heavier rain on North East - entire heavy cloud should pass over Edgbaston.

 

[desi_launda]

The target for Pakistan will be 289 from 41 overs as per the DLS method. Unconfirmed sources.. Scratch that. Quickly. The rain is back!

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Resumption at 3:55 GMT

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Resumption in 15

 

[Saeed]

Play will resume in 15 minutes.

 

[Sunzi]

I wonder if the boys and management are really thinking logically about D/L possibilities in the changing room... I'm not convinced.

 

[ShahSaab]

Play starting again at 4:55pm

 

[Dr_Bassim]

IA it will rain for the next 2 hours non-stop

What happened to we will thrash India ?

Play it out now and see your team win or lose fairly.

 

[Macho Mann]

there is no fall of wicket and yet praying for rain

the total is not even much to be honest with a flat track

 

[Mlscicfan]

Rain is back again !

 

[HinderTheJinder]

Rain again

 

[ask_analyse_act]

If the chase is reduced to 30 overs, the target will be revised to 229 Source: cricinfo

 

[Sunzi]

Delayed again from 4:55

 

[castortroy]

It's raining again so not coming back at 3:55

 

[big_gamer007]

That is a big IF. My question is that if Pak somehow finds a way to beat Ind with D/L, why could they not do so with full 48 overs?

It's difficult to be consistent for longer period of times however it's comparatively easier to hack around for 20 overs.. Why do you think WI are so good at T20s and not that good in tests?

With 10 wickets in hand and only 20 overs to play people have license to go all out and couple of big hits unsettle bowlers and pressure goes right back at bowlers.. For any inferior team to beat a superior team shortest format is the easiest..

 

[JibranAnsari]

Rain dancing.... More rain.

 

[CricVet]

Pakistan should aim for a 20 over 1-2 wicket target first and hope for the best. This is a major handicap when chasing a D/L target.

 

[Pakpak]

DWL never helps in revise targets - it only helps in the match is stopped at mid point for good.

They were 147/4 so weren't winning. But I agree with the rest.

 

[Syed1]

What happened to we will thrash India ?

Play it out now and see your team win or lose fairly.

That was before they announced the 12 man squad yesterday and it had Wahab Riaz in it.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

41 overs and 289 looked impossible.

30 overs 229 means 200 in 25 overs.

I am not sure if we have the batsmen to score 200 in 150 balls.

Why o why is this CT being held in England?

 

[last_knight]

Figure out DLS for 25 overs and go for it. Shouldn't be playing for a 40 overs chase.

 

[MMHS]

They were 147/4 so weren't winning. But I agree with the rest.

Or, may be I over heard an equation that said 140/2 in 25 to win - something like that.

 

[imshally81]

289 in 41 overs

 

[Mamoon]

Imagine if we can sneak away with a point here. 1992 all over again.

 

[HinderTheJinder]

41 overs.281 target

 

[hisham_ashraf]

The rain is not helping Pak too much here.Wonder whether they are thinking of chasing the target or just to stay ahead of the DL par score.

 

[MMHS]

Don't think, we'll get a game today

 

[Ankit007]

Please stop rain... Pleaaaasee

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

This is why T20 is so much better than 50 overs. Rain kinda spoils everything

 

[Ankit007]

The rain is not helping Pak too much here.Wonder whether they are thinking of chasing the target or just to stay ahead of the DL par score.

They are just thinking big valuable 1 point...

 

[Speedster777]

MOM Wahab Riaz for singlehandedly winning the match for India.

 

[HinderTheJinder]

Please stop rain... Pleaaaasee

It has stopped

 

[JibranAnsari]

Don't think, we'll get a game today

Shakkar wandaan way..

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Imagine if we can sneak away with a point here. 1992 all over again.

Imagine if we win because we have the required score at 20 overs. [MENTION=46929]shaz619[/MENTION] and I are gonna annoy the crap out of Indians

 

[ask_analyse_act]

We would have been only chasing 280-290 if we had Junaid istead of Wahab and Amir had bowled his 2 remaining overs.

even less than that, should be chasing 260 i think if catches are taken also... Kohli was struggling to get his timing till the 45th over...

 

[Square Drive]

Don't think, we'll get a game today

You sure?

 

[Madplayer]

Imagine if we can sneak away with a point here. 1992 all over again.

How are u going to get past SA Later on?

 

[Dr_Bassim]

If Pakistan can sneak a point in this game through rain, they might gain confidence to win The Champions Trophy.

Then again, how do you win with 3 bowlers and 2 batsmen....

 

[CricVet]

Imagine if we can sneak away with a point here. 1992 all over again.

We also lost against RSA a very winnable game for an impossible target against RSA - That is how I look at that WC unlike pessimists. Justice done in the end.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Is it pouring down or stopped?

 

[Madplayer]

You sure?

How much time before it starts?

 

[Manager101]

Rain dancing.... More rain.

 

[Tridibans_16]

Why on earth ICC organised this event in England, knowing fully well what happened last time?

Atleast should have been held after June.

 

[JibranAnsari]

How are u going to get past SA Later on?

Rain... And then win against lanka.
