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

[reversehook]

givem the target is 160 for india and its the fav number of a certain someone, Babar must have a tear or two running down his cheek...

 

[GLORY OF '92]

20 short unfortunately

 

[Theo_14]

come on man, 140 is the avg score here, 160 is great score here

[MENTION=53290]Markhor[/MENTION] is doing a Boris and playing reverse psychology.

 

[Rana]

Two dots in last over is criminal. Just tap and run, give strike to Shan.

PAK set 160 to win. Probably not enough but at least gives us something to defend.

Dude Shan wasn’t hitting anything

Shaheen, Rauf and Naseem are all better strikers of the ball for the death

 

[boomboomcheema]

Anyone would have taken this score after Softie Babar and Rizwan got out cheaply.

 

[Saj]

Got to look at the silly shots Shadab and Haider played given that Pakistan had some momentum at that time.

Could even have been 165 plus.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Great recovery by Pak after the early wickets gone

 

[Civil]

160 target.. I guess low end of what kaptaan wanted.
Some luck, some courageous shots but now upto the traditional question... pak bowling or indian batting?

I feel we are 10-15 short. Hopefully bowling and fielding play out of their skins.

 

[Thephenom]

Even if those 3 batsmen got 10 each that’s at least 180, just missed a trick there

 

[adzzy786]

thats a good onee

they got 2 off the last ball, and 160 is gonna be the target.

god score for pakista

Did that hit a nerve

 

[90MPH]

140 average score means Pakistan should defend it.

But India do have a strong batting line up - anyones game.

 

[ChTab]

We should send Shaheen & Naseem to open the batting as well. Babar can score his soft hundreds vs 3rd string sides in pathetic bilateral series

 

[NeVerMind]

Asif Ali yet to hit a six since landing in the Oceania continent! What a waste of space!!

Indeed Haider is been playing like this for quite some time and really need to look into his batting technique..

Both their attempted six hits was supposed to clear 67m boundary

 

[boomboomcheema]

Asif and Haider the biggest culprits of this innings. They don't even have chance to redeem themselves with the ball. Atleas Shadab will bowl.

 

[Geil]

Kohli, Rahul and Rohit, could not have asked for an easy chase like this, won the toss, restricted Pak to a average score, India batting is the strong part of their game

should really be an easy to comfortable chase

India"s match to lose

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Asif Ali yet to hit a six since landing in the Oceania continent! What a waste of space!!

He is waste of space anywhere... teams know who this dud is, will chop his head off with the bounce

 

[castortroy]

Could have played an extra fast bowler

 

[arif_2021]

Asif Ali yet to hit a six since landing in the Oceania continent! What a waste of space!!

probably replace him with mohammas wasim i think

these pitches need a 4 th seamer.

 

[NeVerMind]

Asif and Haider the biggest culprits of this innings. They don't even have chance to redeem themselves with the ball. Atleas Shadab will bowl.

Fakhar and Waseem in for both in the remaining games

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

I think that the pitch got better in the latter part of Pakistan innings. 180 would have been great. Pakistan could have got close to that had they not lost a flurry of wkts when Ifti got out . I think india will be the most happy team right now. They didnt seem to have any sort of worry on their faces. Which seems to mean that they think this total is very chaseable and not hard

 

[Major]

dumb posts.
shan also had trouble against the swing, the first htree overs were difficult.
after the swing ended, they started scoring runs.

it was all about surviving the firrst three overs

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Asif and Haider the biggest culprits of this innings. They don't even have chance to redeem themselves with the ball. Atleas Shadab will bowl.

Jus play one of them or drop both and play Fakhar and Wasim (who will add up to the pace battery)

 

[Ozeirk]

I couldn't see the match, how did the pitch behave?

 

[castortroy]

Asif Ali can't play the short ball and in Australia, thats all he will get

 

[shaz619]

Absolutely Saj, if these kids are as good as people think 170+ was a possibility after Ifthi Cobra injected the innings with steroids

 

[shaz619]

Dude Shan wasn’t hitting anything

Shaheen, Rauf and Naseem are all better strikers of the ball for the death

Shan played well in the situation given the horrid start, he lacks skills at the death and is not a no.3 by any stretch of the imagination

 

[Geil]

It's the new ball, first 5 overs will be big advantage for Pakistan too.

India batters exactly know the target, expect india to roll over, if India does not chase this will e a real shame or like chocking under the big occasion pressure

 

[castortroy]

India will cruise this total

 

[Rana]

Pakistan first 10 overs - 60/2
Pakistan last 10 overs - 99/6

Excellent second 10 without the 6 halwa overs of powerplay

 

[Saj]

Could even have been 165 plus.
