ICC Men's T20 World Cup | Semi-Final | Pakistan v Australia | Dubai | 11 November | Pakistan innings

[YousafTheBeast]

Rizwan…what a shot

 

[castortroy]

Leg side swipe comes off

 

[Abdurmirr]

Rizwan's hack pays off lmao

 

[shamaan]

Misplaced credit - openers are doing what they've been doing best. Nothing Hayden-esq about it

Rizwan and is aggression

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Chala nikal Hazlewood... this is batting at its best.. what a beat Rizzy!

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Going good so far

 

[shamaan]

Rizwan playing Fire with fire

 

[Kianig89]

Runfest It could be

 

[Gullycricket]

Just wait for few hours ,return ticket to Lahore from Dubai will confirm .

Telling you will run out of excuses at the end of this match

 

[Kianig89]

Rizwan being predictable holding their ace Aus is Starc

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Common rizwan. Stop that blimd swing

 

[castortroy]

Stop playing the hack *** to pitched up deliveries

 

[Kianig89]

Rizwan just strutting over

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Common rizwan. Stop that blimd swing

Let him be.. he know what he's doing

 

[UzmanBeast]

Rizwan needs to stop swinging across the line in my opinion. I trust his ability to accelerate when he's settled. Needs to put some value on his wicket.

Keep going strong.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Need to get 10 in last pp over

 

[Kianig89]

What was that from Babar he needs to play sensibly only solid player in this side

 

[Asif321]

Good start

 

[Abdurmirr]

Good start I reckon. 7 an over with no loss.

Have a feeling today is Fakhar's day

 

[Kianig89]

Can we boss Australia

 

[Devadwal]

Telling you will run out of excuses at the end of this match

Is match already over ??

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Need to get to atleast 185 today

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan - 38/0 after 5 overs.

Good start from Pakistan.

 

[UzmanBeast]

I believe that we should rotate strike a bit more here.

No need to take an unnecessary risk in the powerplay, we've won this by not giving a wicket.

 

[imshally81]

Outfield is very quick

 

[Duckworth Lewis]

Mark Nicholas talking about Hayden effect in Pakistan approach.

 

[shamaan]

Hayden approach

 

[imshally81]

ICC gave surprise to Pakistan to making batting track... Nice BCCI

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Pp score is achieved

 

[shamaan]

Mark Nicholas talking about Hayden effect in Pakistan approach.

I said that 2 overs ago

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Aus fielding ah.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

One or two sketchy shots from Rizwan, but other than that, I'm loving the positive attitude. Pak batsmen really going for their shots.

 

[shamaan]

Do not bowl leg side to Rizwan its criminal offence

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Some batting this.. the best Pakistani batting I've seen in my lifetime

 

[castortroy]

All Rizwan has to do his glide those deliveries onto the leg side

 

[shamaan]

Good call from rizwan

 

[JaDed]

A very positive start from PCT. Body language of PCT has been really refreshing this wc

 

[imshally81]

Another dropped?

 

[Thanos]

Good batting by both. Aussie bowlers giving freebies almost every over but you need skill to encash.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Game over. Very poor bowling/tactics by Australia Australia till now. Pak looking for 190.

 

[Kianig89]

Another life for Rizwan Zampa in real test for Babar now

 

[Rana]

This is actually the best start Pakistan could have hoped for in these circumstances

 

[JibranAnsari]

Lol rizwan should score 100

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Dropped again )

 

[mosh101]

Dropped but a difficult one.

 

[UzmanBeast]

Good start. Inshallah we can continue this momentum.

 

[Saj]

This is Pakistan's highest score in the powerplay during the T20 World Cup:

v India 43/0
v New Zealand 30/1
v Afghanistan 38/1
v Namibia 29/0
v Scotland 35/0
v Australia 47/0

 

[Fahdi]

Trap was set for Rizwan........

 

[Kianig89]

Pitch looks a better are 15 runs short in PP

 

[shamaan]

2 tough chances

 

[castortroy]

Rizwan is so consumed with that shot that its affecting the rest of his game

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Pakistan showing the nervousness.... we have missed at least three boundries by now.

 

[daytrader]

Australia dropping catches... do we have a Pakistani coach in their dressing room

 

[Kianig89]

Babar is the key

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan - 47/0 after 6 overs.

Aussies are fielding poorly and bowling poorly. Surprising.

 

[Strike!]

Aussies are under pressure..

 

[mosh101]

Decent start for Pak, would have wanted another 6-8 runs but importantly no wicket down.

Need to capitalize now.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

we need to score 190+ here. Insha Allah we will.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Aussies look nervous

 

[Kianig89]

Zampa v Rizwan

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Shabash. Need to get 190 here

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Decent start for Pak, would have wanted another 6-8 runs but importantly no wicket down.

Need to capitalize now.

We have already missed ten tuns.

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

So unlike Aussies.. never seen them under so much pressure lol..

 

[Saj]

Important that Pakistan keep rotating the strike and not just focus on big shots.

Keep the fielders under pressure.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Don't know about Hayden, but Babar is giving some major Gilchrist vibes(especially of knockouts)

 

[pakistanisgreat]

4 of the over

 

[sweep_shot]

This is Pakistan's best Powerplay performance ever (World T20).

 

[castortroy]

This is where you need the big power hitters against the slow bowlers

 

[sweep_shot]

50 is up (took 6.4 overs).

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Asif Ali needs to be pushed up the order.

 

[Duckworth Lewis]

Australian fast bowlers haven't done their homework against these batters. No tactics. And introducing Maxwell early on against a sub continental side wouldn't go well often.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

I was hoping we should score at least 80-90 runs in first ten.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Asif Ali needs to be pushed up the order.

Unfortunately he might still come below Fakhar and Hafeez

 

[imshally81]

Good over by Zampa

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan - 51/0 after 7 overs.

Good over from Zampa.

 

[UzmanBeast]

I think 85 runs by the 10 over mark would be a good effort from us.

Australia will use their weakest links early up front to allow for more versatility in the death.

Need to capitalize here as well.

 

[imshally81]

What a shot.. Treat to watch... 444

 

[Jabo]

less runs with these 2 still at the crease is better than 15-25 more runs

too early for Hafeez/Malik

Zaman i have no faith in too
he can make a quick 20 from 7 but nothing more

 

[JaDed]

Aussies all over the place lol

 

[imshally81]

Bad captaincy by finch ..
