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

[HinderTheJinder]

Good news for Indian fans.Match resuming in 8 minutes

 

[Syed1]

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....

Can you please list the 2nd batsmen and 3rd bowler? We only have Babar and Amir/Hasan.

 

[joly]

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

what if Amir was hit for say 55 in 2 overs? how are you so confident?

 

[Abdul]

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

How do you know Junaid wouldn't have gotten hammered?

 

[makkage]

289 in 41 overs. Onward RRR 7.46

 

[Syed1]

I hope it starts raining again

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

41 overs.281 target

Ouch hope Pakistan makes this game interesting

 

[HinderTheJinder]

How much time before it starts?

8 minutes

 

[Madplayer]

Damn its sunny now. What is this weather? Reminds me so much of our meadows. Weather changes there like crazy.

 

[Markhor]

Now the rest of the world can see how crazy British weather is.

I went outside a couple of hours ago ducking for cover in my coat as the rain was pelting down, when I was on the way back there was bright sunshine as if I had been transported to Trinidad.

 

[Syed1]

Lo jee dhoop nikal ayi

 

[hisham_ashraf]

They are just thinking big valuable 1 point...

Will be tough to go there and smash the Indian bowlers as Bhuvi and Bumrah are fantastic in the death overs.So yes it looks like 1 point is what Pak can get at best.

 

[Madplayer]

289 in 41 overs..this is tough.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

7.4 an over for 36 overs

 

[ask_analyse_act]

the sun is out there shining bright... good time to bat on a flat wicket...

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Sun has made its appearance.

Real problem for Pakistan is....

Should they blast trying to get to 280 in 41 and risk losing wickets or conserve wickets for potential D/L and risk falling short....

 

[KingKhanWC]

289 in 41 overs. Onward RRR 7.46

Bit harsh this D/L scoring. Only 5 runs an over given .

More rain will come anyway.

 

[castortroy]

Sun has come out

 

[HinderTheJinder]

Blue skies in Edgbaston

 

[MMHS]

You sure?

Can't tell

http://www.bbc.com/weather/2655603

 

[Madplayer]

8 minutes

267 required from 227 balls now.

 

[Zak_Fan]

Lol..so we batted in overcast conditions, and now the sun is shining bright !

 

[Syed1]

How do you know Junaid wouldn't have gotten hammered?

Junaid could not have possibly done worse than Wahab.

 

[On_the_up]

Reducing the match to 41 overs negates India's 70 off the 4 overs at the end.

Better for Pakistan but still pretty tough.

 

[Sunzi]

the sun is out there shining bright... good time to bat on a flat wicket...

If you're India, England or SA lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

7 an over from here

 

[uberkoen]

289 now in 41 overs

 

[Syed1]

what if Amir was hit for say 55 in 2 overs? how are you so confident?

Based on the track record of previous 8 overs.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

The required run rate they are showing is wrong. It's 7.5 runs an over

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Yar 7 an over in these conditions is really not difficult. We have wickets in hand too.

 

[MMHS]

This is called English weather - there is sunshine now

 

[JibranAnsari]

Collapse now

 

[castortroy]

We are not going to get another 267 of 36 overs lol

 

[CricVet]

Lol..so we batted in overcast conditions, and now the sun is shining bright !

yeah, and all this time it was raining under clear skies. Bharti and inka rona dhona

 

[Syed1]

Oh God Azhar Ali will again take 15 balls to "get set"

 

[Madplayer]

267 from 227 is doable

 

[Ankit007]

It's sunshine now. Will this help Pakistan?

 

[Pakistani Pace]

I thought it was gonna get washed out??? ugh

 

[yadunoe]

Damn its bright out

 

[jnaveen1980]

Looks like India should not dismiss Azhar

 

[JibranAnsari]

The required run rate they are showing is wrong. It's 7.5 runs an over

7.4166

 

[On_the_up]

1 run of the over

 

[hisham_ashraf]

How do you know Junaid wouldn't have gotten hammered?

He too most probably would had been thrashed but Wahab went 10 rpo and with Junaid in there he and Amir would have had bowled with the new ball and that would have been better than Imad bowling with the new ball,and plus Junaid is slightly better at death.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Can you please list the 2nd batsmen and 3rd bowler? We only have Babar and Amir/Hasan.

Shadab isnt a bad bowler.

Sarfraz can bat a bit too.

 

[msb314]

here we go again!

 

[Madplayer]

It's sunshine now. Will this help Pakistan?

Might help jadeja if the pitch dries out

 

[dauntless]

Azhar Ali should smash a few now

 

[castortroy]

We will collapse for sure now

Damn looks like there will be a result in this game now

 

[jnaveen1980]

Does Azhar have a power game?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Poor batting by these two.

 

[Syed1]

Need to start hitting right about now

 

[coy0607]

Azhar Ali should smash a few now

in his 7+ yeah career, I don't think I've ever seen him "smash a few"

 

[JibranAnsari]

12(19) ..

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

better start accelerating now..

 

[Madplayer]

We will collapse for sure now

Damn looks like there will be a result in this game now

Pakistan is winning this. Thats what the result is going to be.

 

[MMHS]

It's sunshine now. Will this help Pakistan?

Normally, it swings in UK, when the vapor makes the air heavier (that's sunshine after rain break), but they have robbed the white Kookaburra, so, can't tell.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

We need boundaries

[Zak_Fan]

Good over from Bumrah.

[Pakistani Pace]

 

[KingKhanWC]

Good batting conditions now. Time to take advantage and hit some shots

[msb314]

Azhar please start hitting!!!!!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Should drop azhar in the next match. He is outdated

 

[Abdul]

Shot boy.

 

[ExplicitAI]

One of the world's best ODI bowlers Bumrah on now.

 

[Madplayer]

Good over from Bumrah.

Bumrah's name reminds me of Bumro bumro sham rang bumro.

Heard that famous kashmiri song?

 

[Zak_Fan]

I would bowl Jaddu for a couple of overs and see how it goes.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Shot!

 

[MMHS]

It's impossible for Azhar to go after - he looks out of shape if he tries to blast.

 

[Syed1]

Azhar Ali will bat at 70-80 SR to his fifty and book his spot for the next match.

 

[msb314]

good 4!!!11

 

[Justcrazy]

target is too stiff now for pakistan

 

[JibranAnsari]

Rrr 7.5.

 

[Madplayer]

Best fielding unit
