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

[Saj]

86 needed off the last 10 overs.

Jadeja looking in good nick.

 

[Major]

pakitan has crept back in well, but have to get surya kumar and jadeja can be problem for us. Babar bring in a pacer here for jadeja

 

[jnaveen1980]

Jadeja has been playing in world T20 for more than 15 years. Does nothing of note either with ball or bat.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Jadeja is a much better batsman than he was initially. Not hyped like others but gets the job done.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Still karthik and pandya to come . Need to keep ticking away with wkts.

 

[cricenjoyer]

Nawaz with 1 ball to go

Wasim " Shadab to continue"

 

[Shafi]

can someone get sir Jadeja please.

 

[sweep_shot]

86 needed from 60 balls.

 

[Sarwar89]

Atleast it is not 1 sided game now. Pak has fought well.

 

[castortroy]

India still have Hardick who will probably see them home

 

[JaDed]

Lol, you are too much of an optimist.

lol I know

 

[Major]

Nawaz with 1 ball to go

Wasim " Shadab to continue"

he said shadab to continue with his two overs

 

[Ahmed216]

pakitan has crept back in well, but have to get surya kumar and jadeja can be problem for us. Babar bring in a pacer here for jadeja

We dont have enough runs but bowlers have done well

 

[sweep_shot]

pakitan has crept back in well, but have to get surya kumar and jadeja can be problem for us. Babar bring in a pacer here for jadeja

Don't forget Dinesh Karthik and Hardik. DK is probably their best hitter.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

B Azam needs to get Dahani on

 

[sindhiboy]

have a feeling suryakumar is gonna chase this down

 

[sweep_shot]

Drinks break. Coach Dravid is on the field. Talking with the batsmen.

 

[Marooned]

Onto Shadab now. He has looked good. Hopefully he gives us a couple wickets quickly.

 

[Geil]

Really out of character for Kohli and Rohit to just gift their wickets when everything was in control, got to say stupid to just play that risky shot

 

[jnaveen1980]

Really out of character for Kohli and Rohit to just gift their wickets when everything was in control, got to say stupid to just play that risky shot

They have to keep the score board moving.

 

[castortroy]

India will still cruise this

 

[Shafi]

India still has 2 best batsmen to come

 

[Major]

Suryakumar plays his shot and gets a four, good shot there. Are we finally gonna see what he is all about?

 

[MP2011]

Great sweep shot by SKY

 

[Geil]

has been overall a bad performance by batters from both sides, just gifting their wickets, hopefully Indian batters wont repeat those mistakes

 

[Marooned]

SKY has an amazing range of shots.

 

[MP2011]

32 dot balls in 10.5 overs.

 

[MenInG]

Some support for Pakistan too!

 

[Ab Fan]

Don't forget Dinesh Karthik and Hardik. DK is probably their best hitter.

Hardik's batting is okay, Surya is better with more range of shots.

 

[Marooned]

Suryakumar plays his shot and gets a four, good shot there. Are we finally gonna see what he is all about?

Well he has bags of talent. I've no idea what he has been doing most of his life. He's over 30 now.

 

[Major]

again, not a bad over by Shadab, if he is not getting wickets, than being econommical is good. He has paired well with nawaz who is taking the wicekts by keep a defensive field. Shadab palced pressure from one end and nawaz took the wickets from the other. Good strategy here by Babar and Shadab

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

This one boundary per over is messing things up

 

[Ab Fan]

Poor decision from Babar to continue with Nawaz.

 

[JibranAnsari]

how much more of waqar younis.

 

[Major]

I liked UAE when there used to be some spin there

 

[sweep_shot]

79 to win from 54 balls.

 

[Major]

Poor decision from Babar to continue with Nawaz.

no its good, shadab placing pressure, and nawaz is taking the wicekts off defensive field. Pakistan needs India to take chances and only than can they get a wicket here.

Trying a part timer is risky.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

4444 jaddu

 

[Markhor]

People will talk about the top order based on reputation but this is a key pairing we need to break.

 

[Shafi]

Nawaz leaking 4s

 

[Ab Fan]

Pathetic captaincy from Babar. No slips in powerplay and serving Nawaz to a left hander. Doesn't he have other options?

 

[sweep_shot]

Regardless of who win, it has been a cracker of a game.

 

[Faisalabadimunda]

Cant win the game like this. ONE BOUNDARY per over will loose Pakistan the game.

 

[Firebat]

how much more of waqar younis.

I was under the impression the commentators rotate, been waiting for it for a while.

 

[JibranAnsari]

easy from here. Pakistan needed a bit of pace in the mix.

 

[Geil]

Pak really have no choice but to bowl nawaz here, I dont think they are going to bowl Ifti chacha, India shoud score runs out of Nawaz bowling

 

[Ab Fan]

no its good, shadab placing pressure, and nawaz is taking the wicekts off defensive field. Pakistan needs India to take chances and only than can they get a wicket here.

Trying a part timer is risky.

Should use one over of pace in between. A left arm spinner is easy pickings for a left handed batsman and that's why Jadeja is playing at 4 here.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Need wickets, one boundary an over is too easy for India.

 

[Major]

not a very good over by nawaz there, was off his accuracy. One more over still to be bowled by him.

We need a breakthrough here.

I wonder if they should save one spin over for Hardik pandya or not. He does have a go at spinners well but also that will create a chance for us

 

[imshally81]

Need kumar ASAP

 

[Geil]

Last over of Nawaz should bring in atleast 10 runs

 

[indianpanacea]

Asif and khushdil are pure hackers.pakistsn is missing shoaib Mal k

 

[BunnyRabbit]

For the first in 10 years, it feels like the gulf in quality of team between India and Pakistan is not that much.

 

[IAJ]

Nawaz not reading Jadeja’s movements here, otherwise he should have been stumped long ago.

 

[Major]

Should use one over of pace in between. A left arm spinner is easy pickings for a left handed batsman and that's why Jadeja is playing at 4 here.

true true, but i think shadab and nawaz combo has worked well here. Lets see what happpens now.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Ishan Kishan had to be forced into the top 3. He has more bottom handed power and is left handed.

 

[Shafi]

wish Shadab gets a wicket!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Sky is batting slowly and putting pressure on Jaddu here. He shouldn't forget what his role is in the team.

 

[Ab Fan]

Shadab is quality in T20s.

 

[Reddy]

Well he has bags of talent. I've no idea what he has been doing most of his life. He's over 30 now.

SKY was making Millions in the IPL before this.

 

[Varun]

In Jadeja we trust.

 

[Major]

SHaheen sitting there must be itching to be on the field.

 

[Devadwal]

Too difficult for india . good bowling spell by Shadab

 

[Firebat]

Wickets wickets wickets we need them

 

[Geil]

I expected an easy win for Ind, I guess i was wrong, but good to watch an exciting match for once and not those one sided Ind-PaK matches

There seems to be less gap now between this two sides now

 

[JibranAnsari]

needed shadab to pick up wickets. Now we need a miracle.

 

[Devadwal]

This pitch is two paced as i said earlier in Pakistan innings

 

[Major]

well bowled today by Shadab. WOnderful bowling. he bowled at great line and length, didnt piick wickets here but he did his job today.
Well done

 

[Sunzi]

Good fight but slipping away.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Excellent spell from shadab

 

[Marooned]

SKY was making Millions in the IPL before this.

Simply put, with his talent he should have been a much bigger name with a far better career.

 

[Major]

One more over by Nawaz than we are back at pace

 

[Geil]

If Nawaz bowls next over then it should bring India some runs, more that 12 in the over hopefully

 

[Ab Fan]

Dinesh Karthik struggles vs leg spin too. He likes pace and plays in death but is weak vs leg spin.

 

[JibranAnsari]

come on dhani , bring on yorkers.

 

[Major]

So pakistan not bowling a spinner here interesting.

 

[Varun]

Looks 50-50 from here.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Was expecting India to run over Pakistan but Pakistan is giving India a tough fight even without Shaheen.

 

[Saj]

Impressive from Shadab Khan, gave the batters nothing.

10 dot-balls in his 4 over spell in which he only gave away 19 runs.

 

[JibranAnsari]

yorker kiun nhi kerte hamare bowlers
