Bobby on

Pakistan will score nice 190 and india will chase it down in 30 overs.

 

[Bhaijaan]

What a shot bhai.

It’s too easy for Babar bro

Babar setting himself for a century

 

[kingusama92]

Good shot from Babar.

 

[Asad Ali2004]

Cover drive by King

 

[Kianig89]

Cautios start from Pakistan

 

[gani999]

bowling Hardik Pandya to two set batsmen. I call him Brainfade Sharma for a reason.

 

[Kroll]

imam, at least earn your crust!

 

[Rana]

Proper crap bowling by India here

Just serve up boundary balls casually

 

[Bhaijaan]

Average speed for Shami in the first spell today - 131.7 kph - the lowest for him in his opening spell in ODIs since 2015.

 

[Shafi]

Even Zimbabwe has better openers than us for sure.

 

[JattMaula]

Indian bowlers, bowl 3 good balls and a mandatory wide

Trying for a magic balls.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Hardik just leave it --------------- tujh se na ho paye ga aj

 

[castortroy]

Here comes the chucker

 

[Asad Ali2004]

Good change to bring Axar

 

[mrtaim3]

Why did we not include Abdullah over this parchi?

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Kohli trying to play mid games with Babar

 

[emranabbas]

 

[adi_62941]

Pitch is good for batting. No seam no swing. 300+ score can be defendable

 

[mango_bite77]

Axar early , Imam can rotate now

 

[Major]

Can someone please explain to me why these two are struggling to time the ball. is it the pitch or are they just in bad form

so when they look to hit a six and four, Indian bowlers end up bowling a wide. Its a cat and mouse strategy.

Thats why Pakistan is behind. 8 wides mean, 8 boundaries saved.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Axar overs worry me

 

[kingusama92]

Spin is on.

Let's see what happens.

 

[IAJ]

Spin on

 

[cricfan1992]

Wide runs are also counted, this is a stable start

Both making their averages at team's cost

 

[Asad Ali2004]

Imam ghora needs to up the ante

 

[Kianig89]

Kuldeep and Sir J will put them of their misery

 

[followed]

Lol axar will get Zimbabwe's king here

 

[PakFan2010]

Why is Babar talking to Virat?

He should focus on his batting.

He needs to he locked in.

 

[IAJ]

Axar overs worry me

Imam as a left hander should be OK

 

[Asad Ali2004]

Both making their averages at team's cost

This is 50 over cricket, not 20 over

One needs to take the time

 

[GLORY OF '92]

We will collapse to the spin.

 

[Major]

Spinners are here. Indian spinners are very good i have to say.

 

[Kianig89]

Pitch is not a road, something for bowlers

 

[aukhan]

Imam has been simply pathetic. This is why stats can be deceiving. Look at Babar look at the class.

 

[Kroll]

4444444444444444444444

 

[Bhaijaan]

Bapu is our only hope now.

Come on bro

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Babar-e-azam with a beauty

 

[Kianig89]

This is where Pakistan will be tested

 

[Major]

Babar treating Axar like Iftikhar did to him in MCG

 

[cricfan1992]

This is 50 over cricket, not 20 over

One needs to take the time

It's powerplay. two filder bahir circle

 

[BouncerGuy]

Spin is here and here goes babar in his shell

 

[Asad Ali2004]

What intent from Babar , over the mid on

 

[IAJ]

Shot Babar!

 

[FearlessRoar]

King kar ly ga aj

 

[BouncerGuy]

No actually he is not... Another beauty

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

Babar on the charge. How predictable was this. Big game, biggest player out of the 22 playing today steps up. Can't wait for @Devadwal @Bhaag Viru Bhaag @Dr_Bassim to eat their words.

 

[Kroll]

At least baba has hit some shots, what is parchi doing?

 

[kingusama92]

Quality shot from Babar again.

 

[Asad Ali2004]

It's powerplay. two filder bahir circle

Check the intent from Babar , Imam ghora playing slow

 

[Major]

Axar bowling with specs reminds of me women cricketer bowlers

 

[Bhaijaan]

Big Bobby B hasn’t played easier bowling than this in years

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Imam as a left hander should be OK

Imam won't win us the match bro he can play a solid knock at best. Despite his bad form we need Babar to score big and bat deep to have a chance.

 

[cricfan1992]

BOBZY the KINGGGG

 

[Devadwal]

Pakistan is going to score 330 +

 

[BlindingLight]

Imam has been simply pathetic. This is why stats can be deceiving. Look at Babar look at the class.

Babar is not much better

 

[Nado_]

can someone please explain this logic, you select a top order batsman in Usman. But when his counterpart gets injured you bring someone else in the squad (imam ) and play him instead. What was the purpose of using a space in Usman. Just mind boggling

 

[Suleiman]

Rizwan has so little faith in these snails without Fakhar and Saim that he knew they couldn’t chase anything without faking themselves out.

So best bet for these laddus is to set a score instead.

Only way to prevent India chasing if Pak score less than 300 is to take a bat and do a kneecapping on Kohli during innings break.

 

[JattMaula]

Babar on the charge. How predictable was this. Big game, biggest player out of the 22 playing today steps up. Can't wait for @Devadwal @Bhaag Viru Bhaag @Dr_Bassim to eat their words.

Haterz will now.

 

[emranabbas]

Bobby bhai

 

[aukhan]

Brilliant babar.

This crappy ul haq will bring pressure on him.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Imam is nervous and that is putting extra pressure on Babar now... Looks quite visible

 

[Kroll]

baba on the charge

 

[Asad Ali2004]

Imam building pressure on Pakistan and Babar

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Should bat like this for the first 25.

Last 25 then would be different.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

I think thats adequate from Babar.

If he can play like this, Ill take it.

 

[Rana]

Pakistan are going in accordance to how they want to play the game

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

@saimayubera enjoying the King smashing your trundlers? Indian trundlers don't look so good when it's not against Mushfiqur and Bangla batters. @jamie smith

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Babar gone

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Babar needs to get a century today. He must

 

[battler]

Babar looks in sparkling form!

 

[cricfan1992]

can someone please explain this logic, you select a top order batsman in Usman. But when his counterpart gets injured you bring someone else in the squad (imam ) and play him instead. What was the purpose of using a space in Usman. Just mind boggling

Second wicket-keeper. BAcukup of Rizwan. for concussion rule. Imam international experience

 

[Devadwal]

Full toss and Babar say thankyou.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

There you go

Babar gone

Game over

 

[Asad Ali2004]

Babar
Cover drive pe cover drive

Saare purane daag mia rha

 

[castortroy]

Hardik gets babar again

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Game over. Babar was looking soooo good man. I'm gutted for him and for our chances.

 

[Mas-LFC]

good start from Pakistan. Nice a steady. See the new ball off. Seen shami off easily. Shabash

 

[emranabbas]

Boobzy the real kink

 

[aukhan]

Imam is playing a test knock. Limited and selfish cant fault babar here if he is dismissed trying to score quickly.
