[imshally81]

Another 666

 

[160KPH]

6!!

 

[batandballbattle]

iftimaniaaaaa

 

[Ahmed216]

This is chacha's territory. Good decision to send Shadab before him

 

[BouncerGuy]

This is a good over for Pakistan. Really need another few huge overs to take it above 270.

 

[7sins]

Very good over need 3/4 more overs like this

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

666666

 

[aukhan]

Lance Shaddy scored more than 20 runs...

 

[Major]

who will bowl, azmat or mujeeb?

 

[7sins]

How good are Afghan spinners and how awful are pacers

 

[BouncerGuy]

After 46 overs, Pakistan is 234/5. 4 overs remaining now

 

[pakistani pride]

Whats the average score here batting 1st?

 

[160KPH]

Solid support innings by Shadab. Ifti should hit out, Usama Mir has the ability to hit 1 or 2 6’s as well

 

[pillionrider]

I think Hayden has started turning up to work drunk

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Very good over need 3/4 more overs like this

Only 3/4 are left as of now.

 

[The_KING]

Shadab is an awful cricketer

 

[Major]

shadab gets a six

 

[BouncerGuy]

Beautiful shot from Shaddy. 6

 

[adzzy786]

I hate to say it but Babar is over rated

 

[Major]

shadab gets four

 

[ex-q-zit]

A run a ball will take PAK to 260. They can easily score 275 which is way beyong AFGs reach. The only point of interest is by how many runs Pakistan will win and better their NRR.

 

[Srinath_cricket]

Chennai is the most knowledgeable crowd?

Based upon what?

Lol true. Again.. If it were Sri Lanka the crowd and politicians would've went berserk. This holier than thou behaviour is the thing that irritates me with my people. If we look carefully, no Sri Lankan match is scheduled in chennai... Just like no pak match is scheduled in Mumbai or Delhi because of obvious implications.

 

[7sins]

Now we can easily target 270

 

[BouncerGuy]

ANother 4 from shaddy. nice shot. cheeky one

 

[imshally81]

Shadab joins the party...

666

 

[oatmeal]

This should be enough

 

[shortbread]

Career saving innings by Shadab!

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Dont say that ....... they are not that bad a team.

 

[imshally81]

6 & 4

 

[pillionrider]

Pakistan got this covered.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Career saving innings by Shadab!

needs to score around 60 ...

 

[mominsaigol]

I wish we had Tayaab Tahir was selected for the squad and playing over Iftikhar.

Chacha isn't bad though, he's alright, tayyab tahir would be better at 5.

I'd still have chacha at 6. He's far far superior to most of the frauds we have lol

I disagree with the misbah 2.0 statements. Chacha plays for the team unlike misbah, He does try to attack if he can, its just he's clueless against spin lol

 

[BouncerGuy]

Shadab proved to me much more handy batter then nawaz. He failed badly in the tournament though

 

[Major]

chacha gets a four

 

[Omer2002]

inshallah we need to carry on

 

[nish_mate]

Shadab & Ifti showing how its done...

Afghan jalebi getting battered

 

[BouncerGuy]

Iffi gets 4 this time..another good shot from him

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Drop them one game and they start to use their brain.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Shadab proved to me much more handy batter then nawaz. He failed badly in the tournament though

Imad wasim would have been a better choice than nawaz.

 

[NeVerMind]

Shadab proved to me much more handy batter then nawaz. He failed badly in the tournament though

Hope the confidence he gets from batting today transfers to his bowling...

 

[Major]

bro chacha aint clueless agianst spin.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Drop them one game and they start to use their brain.

he he .... funny but true.

 

[ex-q-zit]

Dont say that ....... they are not that bad a team.

I dont think AFG has the temperament to chase. That too targets close to 300 is next to impossible. So you can rest easy mate.

 

[Major]

There was a time when Shadab was such a superstar that he had a sponsor from Gray Nicollis, but due to his injuries and bad performance his contract was never renewed by them

 

[Markhor]

Totally different player against pace is Ifti. Wow.

 

[Rana]

Pace too easy here

 

[emranabbas]

Need to drop imam next game he might get his braincells back too

 

[160KPH]

Great over.. got us our 250

 

[Rana]

There was a time when Shadab was such a superstar that he had a sponsor from Gray Nicollis, but due to his injuries and bad performance his contract was never renewed by them

Instead they gave one to Rizwan lapatu

 

[7sins]

Perfect over target 270 plus now

 

[Sherazkhalid]

270 on the cards currently, let's get 270/275

 

[Major]

AFG captain should had bowled mujeeb here

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

Need to drop imam next game he might get his braincells back too

I think bring in fakhar against sa ... we need a player like him against big teams.

 

[BouncerGuy]

smashed by iffi...another 6

 

[NeVerMind]

Yes Chacha...great six!

 

[Major]

chacha launches another six, but nahi jee according to @Syed1 he should not be in the team....

 

[Sunzi]

Had to join a team call... damn - pleasently surprised to see that we've pushed on from where we were (I was last at 180-4).

 

[160KPH]

Iftikhar playing his role amazingly right now

 

[imshally81]

6666

Chacha

 

[Omer2002]

to be fair this is bad captaincy surely they have enough spinners to carry on and dangle the carrot

 

[Major]

chacha smashes a 4

 

[NeVerMind]

And now an edge for 4! 260 up....

 

[BouncerGuy]

gets 4 this time. Chachu is on fire now

 

[nish_mate]

Ifti chacha!!! Tum maaro hum tumhaare saath hain!

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

I think Pak batsman have a lot of confidence they can score but it is just htey get this confidence after 40 overs have been bowled. Thats the major difference between our batsmen and other teams. middle over slogging.

 

[imshally81]

Edged n 444

 

[160KPH]

Iftikhar is the only guy who hits clean 6’s like this for our team late in the innings

 

[ex-q-zit]

to be fair this is bad captaincy surely they have enough spinners to carry on and dangle the carrot

spinners account for 40 overs. They are completely the 10 over quota of medium pacers.

 

[Major]

AND we had imam saying iftikhar is not in our plans we have no time. lmaooo

 

[mominsaigol]

B

bro chacha aint clueless agianst spin.

Useless is a bit harsh, but he's a pace basher, against spin he waits for the bowler to make a mistake, he ain't a natural.

Chacha is the only player I like in Pakistan atm cause he isn't spineless and is the only one who actually plays according to modern standards.

Our entire top order is spineless, I'm hoping said comes good, cause atm I'm losing hope.

Abdullah, Imam, Babar, Rizzu

^^ 1990 wra spineless bats. I wish fakhar was in form lol

 

[adzzy786]

I can’t explain how much I miss Pakistan having attacking and big hitting batsmen. Seeing chacha reminds me of the old school players we had who weren’t mentally timid, then again I suppose he is old school

 

[Sunzi]

Decent hand from Chacha.

 

[aukhan]

Ifti Mania running wild on Aghans

 

[Major]

man i love the way chacha strikes the ball.

 

[Buffet]

Enough runs here. Afghanistan is not chasing it.

 

[Ahmed216]

Chacha sets up himself for mid wickets slogs only. 2 clever balls form Naveen in this over

 

[imshally81]

It was wide ball

 

[Sherazkhalid]

That was a wide ball

 

[160KPH]

Cha cha has the old man strength

 

[imshally81]

13 runs in last over
