ICC T20 World Cup 2022, Warm-up: England v Pakistan | Gabba | 17 October | Pakistan innings

Shadab and Chacha wud have running issues. One is too fast the other too slow
 
Iftikhar is such a liability here, if he can’t take quick 2’s and 3’s on these grounds it really limits Pakistan’s ability to score big
 
Pak is a solid T20 team, just that middle order never gets enough chances else they are right in top as tourney favs
 
They’ve had some poor overs but because of the fast powerplay still a decent score. That’s the point of the powerplay
 
Exactly

Intent was clear to see

Indeed was there to make use of the PP and field restrictions..

This opening pair gets them going , while Rizbar bat them to 100/0 in 14 overs which is there to set 170 max. if at all the middle order step up..
 
Poor innings

Why do Pakistan players become so selfish once they are made captain?

What business did Shadab have here coming in at 3??
 
Very sad.

There are plenty of deserving players in Pakistan instead of Khushdil
 
LoL i hope now someone at the stadium shouts parchi as khushdil legend comes to back to the pavillion.
 
Good to see Khushdil is very serious about his health. This walk to and from the middle probably added about 500 steps to the daily count. :sharjeel
 
Khushdil’s career is over, he’s mentally shot. Pathetic from team management to put him in this situation to be honest. Just like that we see why RizBar play the way they do, no point of a fast start if no one can carry it on
 
Shadad messed it up and then Khushdil cleary looking out of place. He should not have been in the squad at all.
 
England should have just let Khushi bat

It’s a warm up game
 
Ifti has no stamina - he normally looks good for 1-2 overs, then he can’t get it off the square.

Clearly a sign of his age
 
Happy Heart is no longer.... Should rename to Sad Heart now and take a flight home
 
I want khushdil to play India in front of large crowd and get booed like anything...I don't understand how he get selected again and again...
 
Game will probably get rained off
But that Run out was comedy gold
 
Idiotic by Asif there. It was Iftikhar's call.
 
Hope it gets rained off. No one wants to see this 120 sr middle-order bat.
 
Reaching semi finals wt20, final asia cup, winning tri series.

Tri series u won because of your middle order.
You reached semis, finals in WT20 and Asia cup mainly because of your bowling.
Stop undermining your other players for the sake of openers
 
If the middle-order bats like this....it doesn't really matter if PP score is 45/0 or 66/2


Pakistan will do well to reach 160 from here.
 
Shan Masood always does well when there is no pressure. He scored two 50,s when pak gave up the chase . His problem is when there is a pressure to win he struggled big time.
 
So even after a good start, the middle order puts the breaks on and we probably trickle to a under par score...so nothing has changed...
 
Pakistan batters apart from Babar and Rizwan are embarrassing, no clue how to play an inning of significance length. Without one of Babar and Rizwan carrying the bat Pakistan will get bowled out before their 20 overs finish. Very poor from selectors chosing such clueless fake batsmen.
 
Don’t understand why Pakistan keep messing something that could be special for them

Let Nawaz bat in the top 4!

Opening secures constant good scores for bowling to defend. Pakistan are not losing out of tournaments due to pakistan getting out on low scores 100-120 like they used to.
 
Shadab really struggle to score at no. 3 in these pitches. He can perform well against spinners but against pacers he found wanted so far in these conditions. Nawaz have better technique and timing than Shadab. He can do lot better in these pitches.
 
Nawaz at No. 4 is must for Pakistan because of its fragile middle order. He looks better than all middle order batters
 
Shan Masood always does well when there is no pressure. He scored two 50,s when pak gave up the chase . His problem is when there is a pressure to win he struggled big time.

Who said there is no pressure. If Shan would have failed he would have been discarded forever. There is pressure on him to perform just like Kushdil. While the former played well for his 39 the latter fell for a golden duck. I would rather have someone like Shan at 3 instead of a hack like Fakhar who has an avg of 27 and s/r of 128.
