They won’t
India did that against Oman,
We are already the people’s champions. Neutrals from around the world must be supporting Pak today. Let’s do it for them.
Not T20 cricket. There's no time to make a comeback .
Fans getting carried away once again.
I doubt they will remove Talat. These pitches surprisingly aid trundlers more than regular bowlers due to stopping nature. He could be your bowling weapon against Abhishek as he mistimed two rank long hops in this Asia cup.
His bowling is average and is batting is average.
We have been through this before, and it was really fun afterwards. Unfortunately most of them run away and you are left with bullying one or two fans who somehow manage to stick around here.
Leave them they just know to create noise pollutionLike you are giving importance to us by being on a Pakistani site? Okay
Don't put all Indian fans in one basket lol We know how single innings can take the game away which is what INdia needed right through the tournament. Just one Abhishek was enough to intimidate opposition. Nissanka almost matched Abhishek. Having said that from Pak perspective it is generally bowling blitz that has caused problem. Kohli saved India many times from that situation. We have no Kohli this time. Chasing 83 against Pakistan India was 8/3. Kohli made 49 and India won comfotably. Then MCG epic.
Makes perfect sense. An attacking move. He needs to bat at 3/4/5 though
I very much doubt they will remove him. They also want him for anchoring just in case if there is a top order collapse given how poor Hasan in anchoring. Salman anchoring is poor even by test standards.
Yeah but you can't have two anchors in the same xi.
Number 5 I would play him.
If Pakistan is suddenly 20/3 for something in walks Hasan against Kuldeep. It could be 20/4 in no time.
They can then send nawaz up the order
Among the regular nations in the year 2025 pakistan has the worst top 6 as acombination of Average & Strike rate. Nawaz is the only guy who strikes the bal down the order. If you send him up he could be gone too.
Saim is out of formAmong the regular nations in the year 2025 pakistan has the worst top 6 as acombination of Average & Strike rate. Nawaz is the only guy who strikes the bal down the order. If you send him up he could be gone too.
Lol India could be skittled out for 120 and pak will still struggle to chase it down
When was Saim in form in t20? His whole career is runnign on that one innings in SA. Pakistan has played the msot number of T20s by some distance in 2025. That is a substantially large sample to have numbers like this. When you prepare you should be prepared for the worst case scenario not best case scenario. This is not even wrost case scenario. This is the normal case scenario for pakistan these days. Top 6 don't fire at all. Even the guy who fires have 50% of dot balls and strike rate of 107.
Saim is playing based on talent he has shown in psl plus in odis he was consistent too after injury he lost confidence i guess otherwise he used to play well
Not the level of some youngsters play. His highest T20 ranking is 33 after 47 matches. It usually takes 10 matches to get to top of T20 ranking for noobs. It took 8 or9 matches for Dewald Brevis to get to top 10 ranking. It took 10 or 12 matches for Tilak varma to become world no.2 ranked T02 batsman.
As a fan you should be looking at bigger picture even if you win which is world cup.Is this the right team that can challenge top 6 teams in the world cup where they will play full strength team.
i think for worldcup pak would make few changes
There are few guys who have good match ups agianst Bumrah
India has just 8 more matches before world cup. Hence some weird experimentation by Gambhir although some of them were stupid. They are trying to prepare a line up where anyone can bat anywhere. But that is practically not possible. Hope they realize that soon.
India had a dud middle order with Yuvi, Dhoni who were past it and Jadhav who wasn't convincing at the highest level.
Tbh India has so much batting talent
Shaheen , Md Nawaz(batting), Abrar are papering over massive cracks. Rizwan said win or learn. That is nonsense. You should learn even while winning. You should check the flaws even while you are winning. That is how you become a world class team.
T20 wc
T20 world cup 2026.
But even if it's 20/4 what's the maximum they can score with Agha and Hussain at the creese.if it's dust bowl fair enough play hussain in the xi but however we know it's flat pitch.
If they manage to score 170 odd, we have a chance.
Knowing Hesson "left handed batsman" angle comes into picture.
Then bring Nawaz up the order pluss you have Fakhar and Saim.
Deifnitely some match up reasons why Hasan is being left out. Probably kuldeep who you simply can't swipe across.
Yeah he's using the match ups and left/right combination but you varun chakravarthy for the left handers.
Gambhir does the same too. But both are doing crap job so far.
Wasn't the first XI
He will play most likelyConfirm -Hardik Pandya to miss Asia Cup final. Rinku Singh to replace him. Entire balance is disturb
Do I care?
No warm-ups for Hardik. He's just hanging around in what look like his non-bowling shoes.
Whoever wins will say thier tactics were spot on.
hope Pakistan wins the toss and puts India to bat and recreate the same magic!
