Very predictable match. I said India would win handily and that's exactly what happened. Though I don't think it's rocket scienece predicting that. Gulf between these two sides has never looked as much as it does right now. India are fielding arguably their greatest ever T20 side. Pakistan very much in a rebuilding period and don't look like they hold a candle to this Indian XI.

Even team like england got smashed by india so no surprise here pak competed better than what england did in india.

Disappointed to see no handshakes. If you’re playing against a team, then go for the handshakes after the game. The Pakistan Cricket Team has nothing to do with Pahalgam. Disappointed!

Agreed. It was in poor taste but the players are probably under strict instruction

From an INdian perspective on these sluggish tacky tracks Gill is a waste of space. He would be good on good batting wickets. Heck even Sai Sudarshan woudl have been better if not Jaiswal

Sai is much more equipped technically for stat padding like Gill.jaiswal is for previous template which ruined by gill

They beat India twice, which is two times more than this clown team will ever manage.

You have to pick your best available squad. This is not the best available squad. There is no world where Babar and Rizwan don’t make the team.

India in India are brutal only Aus,WI are really competitive against us .. PCT Lanka should have a good chance in UAE if they play to their strengths.

Yes it’s first time in history of India Pakistan cricket match this has happened .
 
It'll only get worse for Pakistan if they don't understand batting fundamentals like strike-rotation and how to find gaps. Next Sunday will be a replay of this if Pakistan beat UAE.

Only one of those instances is when they actually were better than ICT 2021, 4 years is a long time in cricket we won't be playing Kohli-Rohit just because they have been effective against PCT in many games.

Pak will also need to battle against those BCCI raccoons in the middle. Not ONCE raised finger while Pak bowling, but ready to roll over like a puppy while Indians were bowling.

Like it would have mattered in the day n age of drs
 
Pak cricket is going through its worst phase at the moment. It would not have mattered if we played x, y or z.

We have either limited batsmen with a limited range of shots or brainless hacks who won't last more than a few deliveries against quality bowlers

The Indian team they beat is quite different from the team today.

There were some Pak players like Abrar and others, who posted memes and mocked the victims of Pahalgam and Ops Sindoor. So yes, they did have something to do with it.

That’s not the point. Everyone knows Pakistan is a weak team and will lose to India 9/10 times. However, the responsibility of any team is to pick its best available players. How hard is that to do?

No person with any brain cells can watch this Pakistan team and come to the conclusion that Babar and Rizwan aren’t good enough to make this team.

Yes we would have lost, but you need to give yourselves the best chance by bowling first here.

India is a top team and a 160-170 score would have been a good chase for these boys in better batting conditions.

Yeah well...I guess you can't have too many good things. We had a spectacular heart-stopping Test series. Now we have to eat our medicine and bear this crap. This pays for that I suppose.

This doesn’t make sense. So are they never in the future shake hands with them? Pahalgam will not be undone, and whatever tweets some guys posted are now immoral. That’s why I say off the field and on the field should be separated.
 
Agreed Babar and Rizwan deserved to be dropped because of their poor SRs (until they got their act together). But at least the replacements should be better.

All we got is Farhan and Agha (very limited batsmen) or a brainless hack like Haris 'Tulla'. No sensible gear in between.

Bhai I can understand your Ecstasy.

But Babar and Riz used to lose lots of matches also.

But I was told that Pakistan have selected modern T20 players now who will show Babar and Rizwan how to bat in this format. When will that happen?

We have constantly been 6 wicket down and going at 5-6 RPO in every game since arriving in the UAE.

Intent is nothing without skill.

Still don’t want Babar or Rizwan back, as they were doing exactly the same thing.

Pakistan has beaten India 3 times in the last 10 years. Babar Azam played all those. rizwan was key in the other 2 T20s.
Now on a 6 match losing streak!
 
As expected, another one sided boring match between India-Pakistan.

This has become too predictable.
 
I'm sure the government told the players not to shake hands, and I am sure people in India are celebrating that more than the win, which was never in doubt.

But it reflects very poorly on the cricketers who claim to be "professionals", and showcases a lack of sportsman spirit. Also showcases a real small mindedness.

IT is such a drop in quality. From phenomenal edge of the seat test series to this charade. From seeing "package of dreamy cover drives" (as Mike Atherton summarized about the test series during commentary) we are seeing batsmen hacking across the line.

Losing with 2 clowns or 11 clowns doesn't make a difference.

Pakistan is an OK team with Babar, Rizwan and Shaheen on form. Pakistan is a terrible team when they are playing poorly or are not part of the team. It’s a simple fact.

These three players have been at the heart of all the major wins for Pakistan in white ball cricket in the last 5 years.
 
Pakistan has an opportunity to do the funniest thing possible in the game against UAE..

But will it even be as funny now? :yk

I think if the par score is 160 to 170 this unit is a riskier unit to get there. But if the par score is 210 this unit can pull off on their day. Truth is you need the same unit to do both. You need to fill the team with players with various gears.

I see this as an improvement. The delusion of Pakistan heading in the right direction under Agha with players like Haris, Farhan etc. is already over. The narrative has changed already.
 
So much for intent aggression under the new Hesson and Agha (who cannot justify his place in the T20 eleven as a batsman in the first place) regime. Team remains crap

Imagine if the employer tells you that you can't speak against a genocide somewhere, now that employer can be sponsors or cricket boards, don't think many people will go against them.
I don't think many Indian cricketers like the Indian politicians, they want to just play ,make money and enjoy the game.
 
What is going on? The paksitani captainnn dint come out for post event confernce, no MOTM?

I don't care what you were told.

Your heroes were part of a sinking ship.

The new ship might not be any better but those two just made sure the ship never reached the destination but they are at the dining table.
 
Congratulations to the Indian fans here on a convincing win...which was pretty much expected

Your team played like professionals and justified its world No. 1 ranking.
 
as a srilankan, i found surya’s comment on pahlegam totally unnecessary at the presentation. wonder how pak team would feel after that
 
India and there players can go F themselves, our armed forces kicked there arses and they can’t take it, our players should go into there dressing room and kick the rubbish out of them!
 
Based on the day's performance no Pakistani player would have got into the Indian XI. Possibly not the first 15 either.

That's how huge the gap was.
 
IQ, Game Awareness, Skill and Technique gap between the batting units of the two teams. Surya, Tilak, Dube e.t.c all knew the pitch was conducive to the spinners, they took full advantage of the quick start by Abhishek, Gill and played normal, circumspect cricket against Abrar, Saim and Suffiyan and only looked to put the really bad ball away. They were very solid, compact in defence and strike rotation, it is shocking to see how bad Pakistani batsmen are against quality spinners technically, knowing which shots to play against which bowler, situation.

Even Warrican ran through our test batting line up when we prepared a dustbowl against the West Indies. It is clear our batsmen are not exposed to quality spinners and against dustbowls enough in our domestic cricket.
 
There is too much animosity these days. Handshake should have happened in the field as a respect for the game. Hope it gets better in future

Lets talk in 5 years where the replacements have been given atleast a 2 year unstopped run. The last time Babar had a good run with the bat was in 2023, since 2023 he has been utterly irrelevant for Pakistan in all formats. He didn't even have a good PSL season this time when he was suppossed to make a statement to the selectors about his T-20 sacking.

I never believed that throwing out Babar and Rizwan would change the team into world beaters.

But you throw out people who are not working.

You don't keep them because there isn't anything better.
 
Looked like the Pak team boycotted the post match interviews, even Shaheen didn't collect his cheque did he?

Apart from Saim, all the players currently playing are garbage. Give them 5 years or 50 years, they will remain garbage. If you want to bury your head in the ground and live in denial, so be it.

Back and across game is missing. They are stuck on their feet. Either they plant thei frontfoot and hit occasionally coming down the line. I think Sohaib Malik, Younis were way better than these guys against spin even with lesser gears.
