India (148/5) defeat Pakistan (147) by 5 wickets in the 2nd Match of the ACC Asia Cup

[Varun]

Wow Rizwan looks in real trouble.

 

[Anis Shivani]

It's a defendable total. Hoping for a Dahani special.

 

[Devadwal]

He is very poor as a cricketer, period.

He is timid players nowadays .we want free flowing Rahul not This timid , coward rahul

 

[Shafi]

Fakhar is such a useless player just like Hasan. both can't take catches.

 

[Geil]

Kohli and rohit are experienced, they need to play patiently as these Pak bowlers are not as smart as Indians

 

[Ab Fan]

Umran is no where near Naseem at the moment.

Pace without skill is nothing. Naseem is also a WIP but he is leagues ahead of Umran.

 

[Major]

hope rizwan is alright, cant lose him here

 

[Inswing]

Seriously dropped kohli?

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

It could be Dahani's day.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

They don't have backup keeper

Will this time be excluded from the prescribed timeline to complete the overs on time ?

 

[Major]

to be fair, that was a tough chance for Fakhar

 

[castortroy]

Kohli and rohit are experienced, they need to play patiently as these Pak bowlers are not as smart as Indians

Agree.

Pak bowlers are too emotional. Don't really have the brains

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Bowlers need to go out there and try to enjoy the occasion. Putting undue pressure always costs us.

Please get Steve Rixon back as fielding coach. Our fielding and catching has been abysmal since his departure.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kohli and rohit are experienced, they need to play patiently as these Pak bowlers are not as smart as Indians

Kohli is a goner. He should retire gracefully.

 

[pakistani pride]

This Rizwan has taken classes from Ahmed Shezad. Also overacting.

 

[Waleed93]

You don't drop Kohli in a run chase.

 

[Inswing]

Naseem what a bowler.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

What an over.

 

[Sunzi]

Ooooft Naseem looking like a bowler

 

[Varun]

Suryakumar Yadav and Dinesh Karthik and Hardik Pandya to follow. Hardly confident about this.

 

[Justcrazy]

These two are very experienced batters , target is modest , they can take time here

 

[Rana]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] are you enjoying this?

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Useless Sri Lankan umpire. Go back to Colombo!

 

[Major]

finally, they are putting pressure, appealed the umpire. This is how they should behave.

I feel down by that kohli dropped however

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Dhani should be next, he is new and has good bounce.

 

[Marooned]

Wow Naseem. That was terrific. Unplayable

 

[jnaveen1980]

This tradition trio always flunks in crunch matches.

 

[cricenjoyer]

Shaheen and Naseem opening would be a dream
Hope to see it soon

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

This Rizwan has taken classes from Ahmed Shezad. Also overacting.

Shehzad's one was an oscar level acting though. He went outside in a stretcher and came back after just 1 over.

 

[Devadwal]

Why is Pant not playing over DK?

Becouse our coach Shahab want experience

 

[Villager6964]

See the difference between Indian trundlers and real pacers.

 

[MP2011]

Kohli is a goner. He should retire gracefully.

Nothing Kohli has done over last few years is graceful. So won't expect him to retire gracefully.

 

[Justcrazy]

Suryakumar Yadav and Dinesh Karthik and Hardik Pandya to follow. Hardly confident about this.

Yadav is a world class batsman.

Kartik is a klusner like finisher

 

[LegendAli]

You don't drop Kohli in a run chase.

LOL this isnt 2016.

 

[pratiktc]

If these jokers had made 165 this would have been game on

 

[sweep_shot]

Game on.

Naseem is doing the job of Shaheen.

 

[Ab Fan]

All Pakistan need to do is bowl at off stump channel. They have the pace. Just don't bowl on pads, that's easy pickings for our batsman.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

May be now some fans will understand how important Shaheen was? They lack basic cricketing knowledge.

 

[Protea Fan]

Kohlis off stump problem is inevitable

look at the way he throws it bat for that 5th stump line

 

[Villager6964]

These are genuine 140 plus pacers which India can never have

 

[Geil]

India needs to bat smartly, these Pak bowler will give you easy balls to score, just need to bat patiently

 

[Inswing]

Indians feeling the heat

 

[Devadwal]

2 four can destroy Pakistan bowler sprit or another wicket can put india in serious under pressure .

 

[Markhor]

You don't drop Kohli in a run chase.

Hey it worked the last time

Dhani on now, need to sustain the pressure from both ends.

 

[Varun]

See out the first 5 overs. Their intensity will dip. It's not a sky high chase.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Rohit will stay and see off India to victory

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Keep Kohli out there lol

 

[Firebat]

The pace and energy of these young pacers are electric. You can tell they're big game players, they're excited not scared of the occasion.

 

[Ab Fan]

See the difference between Indian trundlers and real pacers.

We have knuckle bowl masters.

 

[MP2011]

Kohli showing how past he is from his prime.

 

[Marooned]

Loooool we might lose this Idc , the fast bowlers are lit

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

He is timid players nowadays .we want free flowing Rahul not This timid , coward rahul

TBH it was a stock delivery and a nothing shot from KL, he played on.
He'll be back

 

[Devadwal]

Rizwan doing overacting and Kohli not hitting middle of the bat

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan went from 128/9 to 147. That was a very good last wicket partnership. May turn out to be decisive.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kohli is making a fool of himself. Was doing the same in SA, was doing the same in IPL, was doing in all the recent series.

 

[Villager6964]

Need to get Rohit as soon as possible.

 

[Markhor]

Kohli is throwing his hands at everything here.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

This is what i was talking about. You keep on trolling.

You are the one who is trolling here. I am consistent with my views. Just read all your arrogant posts when Pakistan were batting and now read your posts in this thread. Don't worry, India will win this. Go to bed, it is getting late in Australia.

 

[Devadwal]

Shot by virat

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

4444 by Kohli

 

[Inswing]

Fakhar you have dropped the match

 

[Geil]

A big opportunity for Kohli here to make a big statement

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Fakhar!!!! You idiot

 

[Villager6964]

You don't drop Virat and get away with that

 

[Major]

Kohli taking on the short ball. Yup, dont think Dhani is gonna have much effect here against these guys who play the short ball well

 

[MP2011]

Good shot from Kohli.

 

[castortroy]

This innings will bring kholi back into form

 

[Varun]

Shot Virat.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Nothing Kohli has done over last few years is graceful. So won't expect him to retire gracefully.

yes. more than 1000 days since he made a century in any format. Struggles against all kind of bowling. He was a goner an year back.

 

[Shafi]

India batsmen are just too good to loose these low scoring matches.

 

[Ab Fan]

Kohli is living dangerously.

 

[pillionrider]

What a slap from Kohli
Calm them down lol

 

[castortroy]

India batsmen are just too good to loose these low scoring matches.

Exactly

Very rarely do India not chase a score down like this

 

[Ab Fan]

Naseem's pace is better than Dahani.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

May be now some fans will understand how important Shaheen was? They lack basic cricketing knowledge.

He's world class, no doubt. But the T20 match in 2021 was not the only match he played. Nor was it the first match that we played LH bowling. The way your media has tom tomed it was the be all end all.

 

[MP2011]

yes. more than 1000 days since he made a century in any format. Struggles against all kind of bowling. He was a goner an year back.

Correction: 2 years back.

 

[LegendAli]

You don't drop Virat and get away with that

What happend in the 2017 CT Final?

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Pakistan is a true land of fast bowlers.. Simply awesome bowling so far.

 

[Geil]

Kohli taking on the short ball. Yup, dont think Dhani is gonna have much effect here against these guys who play the short ball well

India bowled those quite high bouncers around the shoulder height and it was smartly done and not overdone

 

[sweep_shot]

Naseem and Shaheen combination. Can be lethal in World T20.
