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

[Kianig89]

No. 3 batsman are pillar of team Ponting Kohli Lara Kallis and we have Fakhar

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Zaman needs to prove his worth

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Starc needs to stick to that length. Any fuller and he might be smashed

 

[octavian]

Starc vs Fkhar. A crucial battle here

 

[teflon_don]

Zaman needs a score today. He has been the one weak link the batting lineup

 

[mosh101]

Top yorker from Starc

 

[Kianig89]

180+ is the fighting score here

 

[UzmanBeast]

Need to attack here.

Cannot leave too much for the death.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Poor stuff so far

 

[Kianig89]

Are these two helping Aus cause and hampering Pak

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan innings going nowhere

 

[sweep_shot]

Game is on balance.

 

[Kianig89]

Hafeez needs to come big next in should be Hafeez and Aisf

 

[shah_1]

Damn

 

[Caved12]

Rizwan looks very sick. Seems as he has a bit of cough as well. He is just digging in and trying his best.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

Good signs

Ball is gripping

 

[Saj]

Aussies not letting Pakistan get away.

Not many loose balls at all.

 

[JibranAnsari]

It would be shame if pakistan scores only 150 and asif ali gets to play only 5 balls.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Pakistan innings going nowhere

What u want man?? 180 in 15 overs?

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Gavaskar should stop blabbering..he has no business in this match

 

[Kianig89]

This is wicket with good carry Warner and Co will also thrive mind yoursha

 

[imshally81]

Zaman should come at 5

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

180+ is the fighting score here

Aus will have a target in mind and they are good chasers.

 

[Shafi]

Both Riz and Fakhar wasting balls

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Things not looking good

 

[JibranAnsari]

What u want man?? 180 in 15 overs?

120

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Good to see Rizwan laughing it off. That's the right attitude to show your opponent.

 

[Thanos]

Rizwan playing every ball to leg side. It has worked so far in this WC but it could affect his game in long run.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

120

Then lets see stilll 2.1 overs left

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Mis-hitting too many shots now.

 

[Colorblind Genius]

Rizwan was nervous from the start and playing way too predictable ... he is only trying one shot on every ball.
He totally forgot to play in the covers or over the bowler's head... just one lapaaru shot towards midwicket and that's it.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Should have sent hafeez instead fakhar

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Fakhar looking rubbish as usual.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

3 of the over. Man 150 looks challenging

 

[castortroy]

Very good over by starc

 

[shah_1]

Fakhar such a flop in this tournament

 

[UzmanBeast]

Need to get ticking ASAP.

The game is drifting towards Australia.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

wow ......

 

[Asif321]

Pakistan on track for 180

 

[Kianig89]

Aus keeping us in chekc Asif should be nexxt

 

[JibranAnsari]

Fakhar zaman is such a waste of space. These two wasting precious overs.

Only 21 runs in last 3 overs.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Be lucky to get to 160 the way Aussies r bowling

 

[emranabbas]

Need hafeez and Malik here

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

If you just look at the score maybe. There were some glorious shots in there until he tried to go for one too many. Opening in a SF it could turn out to be crucial for the win chances.

I am watching the match, he looks class even when he scores 10 runs, that's his quality but that doesn't make 39(34) anything more than an average innings.
I am not saying he choked or anything but just couldn't shift gears which has always been his problem.

 

[whyamir]

Zaman…seriously should’ve sent Asif Ali

 

[Rana]

Be lucky to get to 160 the way Aussies r bowling

They are bowling ok

Pakistan are missing too many freebies

 

[ARK Rafay]

Aussie bowling pacers as they know spinners cam go for distance against Fakhar and Rizwan

 

[pakistanisgreat]

Make it or break it for zaman

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Hafeez shud of come in Fakhar has been a massive let down

 

[Kianig89]

Zama must 2 sixes and then get out

 

[Syed1]

Man Fakhar needs to be dropped after this tournament.

 

[sweep_shot]

Great over from Starc.

Pakistan - 92/1 after 13 overs.

 

[imshally81]

Wide

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Minimum 70 to have hope

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Fakhar has to click on here

 

[battler]

Babar is in glorious form!

 

[Kianig89]

Finally finally a boundary

 

[imshally81]

4444

Fakhar joins the party now

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Fakhar only played 6 balls and people are calling him out

 

[UzmanBeast]

Need t go all guns blazing now.

 

[srh]

Need someone who is very good against short bowling, I know one such batsman but he is sitting at home

 

[Kianig89]

Slower one and dot

 

[mosh101]

Much needed four

 

[iRfaN_LA]

you guys need to relax. Its not possible to hit every ball. We need 2 big overs.

 

[pakistanisgreat]

My dad still thinks Pakistan will get to 180

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Fakhar only played 6 balls and people are calling him out

People on here are insane lol

 

[imshally81]

Missed full toss

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

I am watching the match, he looks class even when he scores 10 runs, that's his quality but that doesn't make 39(34) anything more than an average innings.
I am not saying he choked or anything but just couldn't shift gears which has always been his problem.

He made one crucial mistake to go after Zampa in the last ball of the over. The R/R was fine, if he'd stayed in, it would have gone up obviously.

 

[shah_1]

Flop Fakhar

 

[shaaik]

Unbelievable atmosphere in the ground..

 

[Kianig89]

Power hitting like Buttler required

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Sunil Gavaskar's voice is so down.

 

[imshally81]

Sixxxxx

 

[shaaik]

6 by riz

 

[Kianig89]

Hazelwood trundles for six

 

[pakistanisgreat]

6666

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

My dad still thinks Pakistan will get to 180

Well they should after the start they had. Still only one wicket down....

 

[Kianig89]

In the cow corner

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Good ...

 

[sweep_shot]

Hazlewood has had a poor day.
