ICC T20 World Cup | India vs Pakistan | Super 12, Group 2 | MCG | 23 Oct | Pakistan innings

[rhony]

Good team selection by India. Pak must have missed the trick by choosing only 3 pacers

 

[Geil]

Middle overs are going to be crucial here, especially the spin bowling,

 

[Major]

Ifti is clueless against moving ball

anyone would be, ifti is not an opener you know

 

[Saj]

31 dot balls in the first 8 overs of the Pakistan innings

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Too slow, can't score 100 in last 10. They need to ramp up now.

 

[GreenBee]

Ashwin was to late otherwise its was a simple catch

Yes, extremely slow on his feet. Fielding has gone downhill in this Dravid-Rohit era.

 

[Ashmal]

its funny, how a abtsman 50 meters away saw it bounce but no one else did.

pathetic stuff by Indians

Not a surprise....I must say

 

[Zeshan547]

They need to get a move on, otherwise with this approach we will end up with 140 max and lose anyway. so atleast try.

 

[Pakpak]

Pakistan still in good position

???? We need a 100 just to get to 140 in 12 overs

 

[Inswing]

This is the make or break time for these 2.

 

[Grunge101]

Babar dismissal was pathetic given he has so much experience. Knowing the ball was swinging his position at the wicket and shot played was unbelievable.

Facing inswing from a left armer over the wicket is not easy. We've seen the very best struggle with it (Amir and Shaheen against Rohit and co in less helpful conditions).

Not playing at all in these conditions before the WC certainly didn't help.

 

[10sion]

Babar and Rizwan would struggle against Ashwin.

Both get out before Ashwin comes to bowl. Sigma mindset.

 

[Kroll]

Might get to 120 at this rate.

 

[hamzie]

iftikhar so useless

 

[Major]

cheater ashwin playing after so many years against us, is that right?

 

[Asif321]

Ifti from misbah school of thought

 

[Inswing]

One of them need to have a go.


MCG is so big damnnn.

 

[Rana]

Zero intent

Dots dots dots and then a swing of the bat

 

[Major]

iftikhar so useless

Iftikhar is playing soo well with confidence.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Cachu you started good and now lagging, come on pick it up.

 

[indianpanacea]

I guess Pakistan are playing 1 pacer short..I don't understand what is the point of playing Asif at 8...
I say rubbish..instead M.wasim should have been played

 

[Rana]

Ifti from misbah school of thought

They all are

 

[dildilpak]

Ifti chacha 12 off 16!

 

[shah_1]

Obsession of playing chacha at 4 despite being a certified failure at that position

 

[rhony]

its funny, how a abtsman 50 meters away saw it bounce but no one else did.

pathetic stuff by Indians

It's tough to know. Even the umpire gave a soft signal of out.

 

[Zeshan547]

enough of this tuk tuk plz.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

The way these two are batting it seems the boundary is 1km away from the pitch.

 

[Major]

chalo get 60 by the 10th, 100 akhri 10 ver mein

 

[Ahmed216]

Shan Masood and iftikhar playing t20 cricket

 

[Rana]

Might get to 120 at this rate.

Beast standards for Pakistan

 

[Asif321]

cheater ashwin playing after so many years against us, is that right?

Nothing cheat it can happen you don’t understand did it hit or not when you go for catch it was just matter of inches . We see it in slow motion so it’s easy for us

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Rubbish chacha


He is a failure at 4

Why pick him there?

They have tried many players, the current management is clueless who to bat at 4

Shadab, Nawaz, Ifthikar , Haider all used as floaters.. Unfortunate for a Haider to be part of this bits and pieces league... His position is unsure and he himself looks clueless, as expected to happen for a batsman when he is moved around as such..

 

[adzzy786]

if they go 10 an over now they’ll make 160

 

[Sherazkhalid]

We need 7-8 runs an over consistency for next 5-6 overs and then let loose in last 5 to have any chance what so ever.

 

[msb314]

Need to have a go now

 

[Devadwal]

yet he cheated and claimed it

Lol this was a not cheating .its was a taught descision even after few replay .

 

[Inswing]

Max how much we can score in last 10 overs?

 

[hamzie]

shouldve picked imad wasim for iftikhar

 

[arif_2021]

20 runs behind in my opinion

 

[Major]

It's tough to know. Even the umpire gave a soft signal of out.

no its not. if a batter is seeing from 50 meters away, atleast as a fielder just say check to confirm. dont celebrate and come out as a fool later.

 

[Theo_14]

Congratulations everyone. Pakistan reach 50. 40 overs to go!

 

[Zeshan547]

50 in 9 overs, it's too slow even by Pak standard, Only silver lining is we have 8 wickets in hand.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Right they need to go for it now. Anything less than 160 is too less on this pitch vs this team

 

[Sherazkhalid]

if they go 10 an over now they’ll make 160

fat chance, only hope is to get two overs later on for 20 plus runs each.

 

[Markhor]

Batting has been painful to watch.

Our WC preparation was a joke - the pitches for PAK-ENG series and NZ tri-series were amongst the lowest bouncing in T20I history according to CrcViz !

No wonder time and again we look like fishes out of water in Australia.

 

[Major]

Nothing cheat it can happen you don’t understand did it hit or not when you go for catch it was just matter of inches . We see it in slow motion so it’s easy for us

he could had asked to get it checked, he celebrated it as soon as possible.

he cheated

 

[Rana]

cheater ashwin playing after so many years against us, is that right?

He didn’t claim the catch

 

[Major]

Ifti needs to take a risk here now

 

[imshally81]

Good running

 

[Devadwal]

Good recovery by Pakistan. 160 is on

 

[arif_2021]

no its not. if a batter is seeing from 50 meters away, atleast as a fielder just say check to confirm. dont celebrate and come out as a fool later.

i agree

and its ashwin...the self proclaimed ethical expert and the guy who does things by the law like mankad.

 

[Geil]

Pak batters have no chance but to be aggressive to especially to ashwin and axar, if they don't target their overs for 10 an over it is going to be really difficult to get that par score of 140-150

 

[rhony]

no its not. if a batter is seeing from 50 meters away, atleast as a fielder just say check to confirm. dont celebrate and come out as a fool later.

Batsman stayed out of hope. It wasn't clear in real time. Umpires gave the soft signal out which means both umpires thought it's out as well. It almost felt as if his fingers were underneath.

 

[Major]

He didn’t claim the catch

jee bilkul, khush pakistani dugout hora tha na.

Meanwhile Chacha hits a 4

 

[Rana]

Well done Chacha keep going brother

 

[PakFan2010]

A score of 150 will be very competitive on this pitch.

 

[10sion]

Shot! 4!

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Pandya leaking runs again

 

[Grunge101]

Chacha needs to go big now. The ball isn't moving now, second tier bowlers on, don't waste any more balls

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Rizbar run of glory nearing its end..

Clear that Rizwan struggling and Babar seems patchy ever since Asia cup in this format , yes he got a good 100 in 1 game..but his consistency was so important for him to be opening and the team

 

[Sherazkhalid]

They should have taken these singles from get go.

 

[Major]

Batsman stayed out of hope. It wasn't clear in real time. Umpires gave the soft signal out which means both umpires thought it's out as well. It almost felt as if his fingers were underneath.

batsman saw it and wanted to confirm.

no there were no fingers it bounced and ashwin cheated

 

[msb314]

Keep going chacha

 

[Kaddy]

If openers get out early, it's not the end of the world.

For God sake, score now. There are only 20 over.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Good shot frm ifti. Better

 

[Rana]

jee bilkul, khush pakistani dugout hora tha na.

Meanwhile Chacha hits a 4

Bro go and drink some rooh afza and calm down

Stop calling him a cheat for no reason

 

[Arsal_AK]

Iftikhar needs to go into higher gear now.

 

[todfod 11]

Chacha needs to play inning of his life today. And retire

 

[Theo_14]

Good recovery by Pakistan. 160 is on

Have to agree - good recovery because it could have been worse. Yes we are 20 runs short but I think these two are building well for Nawaz, Haider, Shadab and Asif to come out and go crazy.

Let’s see.

 

[Devadwal]

Pandya getting phainty

 

[Kroll]

Right time for rope-a-dope is over, press button for beast mode.

 

[Major]

Pakistan need to bat 10 an over from here I would say, or atleast 8 an over to get 140 atleast

 

[Sherazkhalid]

I hope Haider comes good today.

 

[Rana]

Pads MAsooD

 

[Asif321]

Ifti and Shan have batted well . Kept Pakistan in hunt still

 

[Grunge101]

Pandya leaking runs again

Pandya is key for Pakistan. He's clearly the one big weak link in this attack and I don't think 18 of 2 is that bad at all.

 

[Major]

Bro go and drink some rooh afza and calm down

Stop calling him a cheat for no reason

he is a cheat, we all saw him cheat. And no suprise it was ashwin

 

[msb314]

chalo get 60 by the 10th, 100 akhri 10 ver mein

Done

 

[10sion]

How many of you would have taken 60/2 after 10 overs at the start of the toss?

How many of you would have taken 60/2 after 10 overs knowing Rizwan scored 4(12) and bar was out for a first ball duck?

 

[Ahmed216]

Need 110-120 in second half. Backing asif ali to score a 15 ball 50
