India is a minnow team, a super dooper minnow team.

Bangla was lucky to get into semis but they should've cashed in against India and memories of Asia Cup Final of 2012 could have been relived.

A Pakistan vs India series no matter in which part of the world would mean a

(PAK) MAX - 0 (IND)

Kohli, Dhoni, Yuvraj, Dhawan are top class players from the BOTTOM:babar
 
Lets not get arrogant!!!

India would likely win a 5 match odi series. Pak have a way to go but we are on target.

Lets not get delusional like bd fans. We should be sporting and grounded.
 
A 5 match series against higher ranked opposition is more likely to be won by the higher seeded team
 
While I think India has been the far superior team, I do honestly think a contest now would be very closely fought and I would struggle to guess the score line.

Half our team is new and young and we have a coach who is really just starting to get his idea across so rankings are not the best way to gauge who would win.

A 5 match ODI series in England right now would be absolutely be brilliant, with all the crowds sold out. Would most likely be a 3-2 to whoever gets that 1 lucky win.
 
Suddenly, Bangladesh fans seem to be very grounded and normal when compared to Pakistan fans

Don't get overboard. All that can be said is that it would be a closely contested series.
 
MS Dhoni is the only Indian captain I know so far who's had a superior W/L ratio against Pak but will future Indian captains be able to replicate that? I don't think Kohli is strong enough to do that. He can win an ODI series against Pak but I'd rather say that Sarfraz would win more battles. One thing a ice-cool serene India team can't handle most of the times is a red hot rampaging Pak team.
 
Don't know but curious about the awe in which India is still held. Yes they are great but the Pakistani attack has their number, twitter and email to boot.
 
Right now think we would win. Pakistan is in really good form now, with batting and bowling firing well. Even fielding is better than usual. And confidence from the Champions Trophy, with a better tactical captain, I think odds favour us. Of course that could change and odds probably wouldn't be in our favour to carry over that form for a long time.

India in the meanwhile has problems currently. Their spinners Ashwin and Jadeja which have been the backbone of ODI bowling unit in the past are looking lacklustre and out of form. Kohli's captaincy didn't look great in the CT, and their coach leaving them too might hurt. Yuvraj shouldn't probably be in the side.

I think overall India's a better team, but right now I'd back Pakistan to win. Pakistan win wasn't as bigger shock to me in CT as it would have been in the past, you could see Pakistan was gaining momentum, and India's bowling never really looked as good as Pakistan's despite the collapses by the other team. India were outdone by a side who was firing in pretty much every department. Pretty much every player in the final XI contributed quite a bit to the CT win. Even Malik scored some handy runs in SA, and looked in good form despite the low scores, if he played India again wouldn't put it past him scoring runs.
 
It will be a competitive series but India will win. There is a reason they are at number 2-3 in the rankings and us at number 6.
 
It would be a 3-2 score either way. Pakistan would challenge and COULD win. India are slightly ahead as an ODI team.
 
It will be very hard fought series. Conditions matter tho. If they like 'aaney do' then Pak could win.

If these are batting roads, then I'd say India.

Speculation tho.
 
Pakistan is going to whitewash them. We beat them in their own backyard when they were world champions and no team could dare to beat them in ODI's in India, now we're winners of the Champions Trophy in some of the toughest conditions in the world. Should be a walk in the park. You should have asked, "How badly is Pakistan going to beat India in an ODI series?".

I'm not even making a joke here. Pakistan has absolutely decimated India in bi-laterals and will continue to do so. The only place they've gotten the better of us is tournament matches, but even that seems to be changing now.
 
Nope. India is still a very strong and superior team, one bad game doesn't change things. Just watch the Hardik Pandiya innings to see how much panic they can infuse in our team if all their batsmen get going from 1 to the end. Pakistani bowlers will not be successful everytime against Indian Batting. We have a lot of catching up to do and plenty of De-Misbahfication and de-mohalization to go through before our ODI and T-20 teams are at par again.

hahaha.....how many teams have you whitewashed? you are talking like your team is india or austrlaia who are used to whitewash teams .Your team is 6th rank so talk like 6th rank ....First come in top 3 odi team ever i challenge. pakistan cant even chase 250 plus how many times ypu guys made 300 runs like in final. India also have won champions trophy last time by winning all matches. And beat you consistently in all icc matches easily.
It would be great if pakistan dnt get whitewash against india. Aftera that's all you can expect from n.o 6 rank team.
 
Pakistan will probably beat us 4-1.

Our line-up is flawed beyond measure.

Your post is wrong on so many levels. Firstly, I'm not talking as if my team is India, I would be very concerned if that were the case. Second, Pakistan were ranked 8th at the start of this tournament and we all know how the tournament ended. My point is, rankings don't mean jack .... Other than that, Pakistan have successfully beaten India multiple times in the past while being ranked lower. Third, we don't need to chase 250 plus buddy. Pakistan almost bowled out India under 100. And go check the scorecards of the 2012 series, Pakistan didn't let Indian batsmen cross the 300 mark even ONCE. And like I said, Pakistan has lost in tournament matches but we've been the better team by quite some distance in bilaterals - which too are ICC matches so please, increase your knowledge before quoting me in your posts.
 
4 consecutive wins in ODI's have made some Pak fans as delusional as BD fans.

Pak needs to show consistency in winning LOI's. Otherwise, this CT win will look more like a blip rather than real improvement.

Yes, Pak has some exciting players now in Zaman, Hasan Ali. You have to wait for at least 1 year and see how they perform. History is not in Pak's side when it comes to discovering new players in past few years.
 
India will win more often than not. It would be a semi pressure filled bilateral so you can expect GOAT to come into party and gun down whatever Pakistan puts up, he's no doubt an absolutely wonderful batsman in less pressure situations.

Would be interesting however if it were played on sporting wickets tho. . .
 
First of all, it is my Humble request to All Pakistanis please don`t act childish after one win against India in 5 years whenever we met they thrashed us so at this point we should discuss what can be done to make this team better than this instead of starting childish and irrelevant threads. On topic, we don`t want to play India until the issues get resolved in between the governments. They are on mission to Isolate Pakistan cricket but somehow we make a comeback to prove that without any resources we can beat anyone on the given day and we can be beaten by Zimbos and Irish too. So please don`t act Sehwag and use your brain.
 
I don't like the thread but I tell u this;

I was desperate for Pakistan to not meet India from the time we lost the first game.

First I was hoping that saffers would knock them out in the QF.
Then I was hoping that England would lose to Australian so that Aus could knock out India.
When that didn't happen i was hoping against hope that BD would somehow come through the Semi.

But now that fear is GONE! our boys will have taken great confidence from that game and they can play India with a renewed vigour and confidence.

PS I wasn't like some here hoping that Pakistan would lose to England so that they didn't have to play India. Thats just selling out. I always want pak to take care of there side but was just desperate for india to get knocked about before we met.

Because winning an ICC tournament in away conditions against 1st, 2nd and 3rd ranked teams (by decimating them I might add) is considered a blip indeed.....

4 knock out games out of 4 bro !!
 
Pakistan would win at this point of time, you need bowlers to win toruanmetns and series with guys like no ball bumrah, it will be hard for them to win, but regardless, if they drop the dead weight on their team, and give chance to new young players, it will do them a wonder of good, becuase like Pakistan, India has alot of cricket talent coming out of the country.
 
totally depends on where the series is being played.

unlike the common belief, if there are batting pitches we may be in with a chance because our weaker suit becomes a bit more potent. it is never easy to chase a good score because a bowling side can change the match within two to three overs while a batting side needs like 40.

in conditions that help bowling, our batting needs to do a lot of extra work.

the last time the two teams met in a bilateral series pak managed to sneak a victory, so it isn't beyond us that we can't win. however it will be a close series that may end 3-2 to india. that said, the matches will still be one sided within the series.
 
This thread was a troll but some sensible answers from Indians and some below average one's from Pakistani's.

Honestly, I always felt Pakistan was winning the CT final after they thrashed the favourites straight away and wasn't even feeling glad after winning the CT, may be because I think it isn't a big enough tournament, at least it stands no where near the T-20 WC even, so no point in saying I'm over the moon when this thread comes weeks after the final
 
Would be 3-2, with either side winning, regardless of conditions. Seems like a mouthwatering prospect. Give it to us BCCI:(
 
Problem is, the tactical nuisances associated with a world tournament and an ODI series is different. In tournament, you can only do as much analysis against opposition but in ODI you get single opposition to focus upon, you study their weakness more precisely and will be able to work batsman out if you possess the skill set. Also, players like zaman, hasan ali and co. were unknown identity before, teams will come out with a strategy to face them.

So, if you are basing your assumption to beat India or England or any other top team on the basis of CT matches then you are in for surprise. The thing is, the reason that they are top teams for couple of years is not just because others were inferior to them but they worked hard to be better than others.

Hasan has been playing international cricket since 2016 and has participated in a 5 match ODI series and 1 off T20 series against England back in July/August 2016.
 
Can we get over with the obsession of playing bilateral series against India. Despite India has upper hand lately bearing CT17 final no Indian fan or player shows interest to play against Pakistan while every other cricket pundits and fans are confident about their them.

But he wasn't as venomous as he is currently. Was he bowling in middle overs before as well?
 
Pakistan needs more modern batsmen to win on consistent basis against top team...I hope by 2019 WC, we have modern batting lineup and quality allrounders (Fahim, Shadab)...We cannot go to the WC with Azhar, Hafeez, Malik, Immad, they all are too weak against pace, you are not going to keep teams below 230 all the time... We must not forget our toothless batting, that still needs lot of work :(

Right now, India may loose or win, but we need to overall our batting, must not loose sight of the transformation needed in light of this victory!!
 
We need batsmen who opposition fear, right now no body not even a FC grade 2 team fears Azhar Ali, they were all having plans for Fakhar alone somewhat Babar, nobody was worried about Azhar, Hafeez, Malik. For opposition they are breath of fresh Air... Before that Sharjeel and Babar was main worry. How can your permanent top order batsmen have no fear factor?? - This is what mediocracy is all about :facepalm:

Beautifully put. We can only play one of Azhar, Hafeez and Malik.
 
Even with the handicap of Sarfraz as captain, if you add fahim ashraf to the line up, Pakistan will win 4-1. I think the new lot are made up of different stuff, no fear.

India would buried 5-0. The Shovel Master aka [MENTION=46929]shaz619[/MENTION] will do the final honours by burying all the Indians here with his emphatic analysis and argumentative skills. :hafeez2
 
what a bunch of ballonga, india is more consistent and would prolly have an edge against us!
Please guys be rational, one champion trophy win and we are on Mars.
realistic chance 60/40 chance to india/pakistan
 
Depends where it is played. I fancy home wins for both sides, in the UAE at the moment India will probably win it.
 
It would go exactly like the last series between the two teams went. Pakistan would smash India until the series was won and then would throw them a bone because of their vastly bigger hearts. <3

India should compete against someone more at their level, like Sri Lanka or Bangladesh. They're not worthy enough to face the undisputed Champions of the World.

Amir, Junaid, Hassan, Shadab, Babar, Fakhar, Haris, Sarfaraz ---> The Best, MashAllah.

Nice trolling. Why do we need ICC ranking. Try to get in to top 3 first. Then talk about thrashing India or calling India minnows.

What you, your fellow countrymen and some delusional Pakistani fans fail to understand is that Pakistan have ALWAYS absolutely THRASHED India in bilaterals regardless of how well or poor we did in tournaments or where we were ranked and therefore, I have think the trend will continue.

??? Sarfraz was a breath of fresh air and the best captain in the CT?? Not sure of your concerns around Sarfraz.

I agree with the general comments that India v Pak would be very close but India would have the edge most likely. 3-2 India?
 
Apart from New Zealand, all teams ranked above Pakistan will beat Pakistan in an ODI series.
 
I think under the new Sarfraz captaincy we'll defo win ODI series against India. We had one of the worst ODI teams in the aane do series and we still won.
 
Lets be realistic, I will be happy if Pakistan beat them once or twice in a 5 matches series.

The CT final was a pressure and nerve racking game. Pakistan players played out of their skins and with tremendous passion (look at the hunger on Aamir's face before he is going to bowl his first ball). They played to win the CT and they succeeded. Based on our past history, i don't think they will be able to perform similarly in all games against India in a bilateral series.

So yeah on paper we are still a lot weaker team than India and the results in bilateral series will most definitely reflect that.

India were carrying some over the hill players and the likes of Kohli had a rare bad series. That series proved to be a wake up call for them and they went on to win the Champions Trophy, while we got humiliated. In hindsight, the series win in India proved to be little more than an aberration and a fluke. Same goes from the series in South Africa in 2012-2013, which we won because of Amla's choke.

Getting carried away after a few wins is standard procedure for Pakistani fans. After a few good performances, we think we have become invincible, and it takes a thrashing for us to come back to earth.

While it will be harsh to call our Champions Trophy win a fluke, we cannot deny that we had our fair share of good fortune. There are still plenty of holes in the team because we caught the likes of South Africa, England and India on a bad day,

We can beat these teams in one-off games, but over the course of a series, these things tend to even out. Winning 4 matches does not make us a top team; we are still inferior to India, Australia, England and South Africa, and probably on par with New Zealand.
 
Pakistan will win 4-1 or 3-2

Indian team without Kohli isn't strong. Get an opener early, bring Kohli to the crease who struggles against new ball and get him out early.
 
Pakistan will win 7-0 in a long series.

The Indians would go full jingoistic and demand boycott. Their media will go on a frenzy etc. etc.
 
I predict 3-2 in India's favour, although I feel we are a fast improving white ball cricket team
 
it will be a close series as we always raise our game in bilaterals vs India. It could go 3-2 either way.

Lots & Lots of money & revenue for the 2 boards. But Alas it won't be happening.
 
Both will be up for it including the fans . Momentum has shifted towards Pakistan though and if they do play anytime soon then it will be a victory for both countries and cricket lovers around the world..
 
Depends on the type of pitches. If we play in England then Pakistan will win the series comfortably. If its played in UAE then India will win. If its played in India then Pakistan again has equal chance of beating India.

In England : Pakistan 3 - 2 India
In UAE : India 4 - 1 Pakistan
In India : Both teams can win by a margin of 3 - 2
 
The team wins one tournament and the fans believe they are the best team in the world... Lolzz... its a good thing that Pak isnt playing cricket for the next 4 months or this bubble would have burst real soon. Enjoy it while it lasts guys!

P.s. how easily have the Pak fans forgotten the thrashing in the first game of the same tournament!
 
As I recall, Pakistan won the last one. And that was played in India. But things have changed a bit since then. I think India would win.

For you any good Pak performance is a result of opposition having an off day.
For India none apart from Bumrah maybe had an off day.Their top 3 were in top form and were blown away by high quality bowling off day or not there was not much they could do other then hope they get lucky with play and misses and survive the new ball onslaught.
Yuvraj and Dhoni are not the same players they were and they were bound to crumble when put under pressure again its not an off day and credit to Pakistan for creating a situation where they arrived while pressure was on. The way Ashwin and Jadeja had been bowling through the tourney it was only a matter of time they would come up against a rampaging batsman who would take them apart. Jadeja was slaughtered by sri lanka and they were saved by meme Jadev wickets in the semi final till then were being milked like spring goat.Overall India played the final as well as they could givin their current capabilities and they were just bulldozed by a red hot side.

Bro, your statement would've made sense if we'd won but limped over but since we absolutely thrashed the opposition in all three games, Pakistan deserves every bit of the pressure.

Yes, there's no need to get complacent but don't take the right away from fans to be over the moon or wherever they want to be.

Pakistan may even win the the WC and become #1 in all rankings but some people will call that a fluke too. :facepalm:
 
We'd win 3-2 in England, lose 3-2 in UAE and it could go either way in India. Would be very close.

Would be a hard fought series, cant pick a winner...3-2 either way..pak will win as their bowling is quite strong compared to India....India heavily rely on their top3 to outscore the opponent...

Yeah yeah Pakistan won the CT. They owned the final. But I'd hardly call any other games thrashing. In fact Pakistan limped over to the finals. Lost to India, D/L in South Africa game(Pakistan were favourites at that time i agree) and the game Vs Srilanka(the less said the better. Both teams were outdoing each other to the race of defeat). Pakistan wouldn't have won that game vs SL if it wasn't for garbage catching and fielding by opposition.

Apart from 2-3 new players, Pakistan still have same set of world beaters at their disposal- Shehzad, Malik, Hafeez, Azhar Ali etc. Babar Azam isn't setting the world on fire either.

Pakistan did caught India on their bad day. And hypothetically if a series happens-It'll be in favour of India 4-1 imo.

At least read properly and look at the context. :facepalm: The three matches the poster that I quoted was talking about the one vs SA (which you yourself admitted Pakistan were the favorites), England - who we did thrash and India, who you yourself said were owned.

My bad. I really did miss the part of those three particular matches. Anyways my point was Pakistan has not become world beaters after CT. As the ranking shows, there are at least 5 teams who are ahead of Pakistan.
