India smash Pakistan by eight wickets with superb all-round display

[Madplayer]

Faheem no ball )

Another six coming up

 

[barah_admi]

gotta get the spinners in, what is he waiting for?

 

[Greenstorm]

[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] everything you were saying for an year has been exposed. Micky love for fast bowlers, imam and sarfaraz as specialist bat with Babar weakness against spin. I agree.and will keep on counting.

Nothing is exposed. Mickey is preparing team for the WC 2019 and it was a good move to select Shaheen Afridi to be with the squad. A better spinner should have been selected in place of Nawaz, thats about it.

 

[Yoddha]

'bring on Faheem' lol

 

[Madplayer]

I think Sarfaraz ko Chakar araha hai

 

[theariezman]

Put the cat amongst the pigeons, pressure does weird things. Plus India don't have Pandya

Pakistani players took unnecessary pressure...just after 1 over Imam he feels pressure....what rubbish.

 

[B_Positive]

India has played really well guys. From mentally down vs Pakistan and then that match vs Hong kong. India has done extremely well today. They were in my opinion underdogs for today's game. Congratulations.

I told India will win by 30 overs looks like they will win even before 24 overs. Our batsmen are worst but bowlers are not that good either.
Lucky India did not bat earlier otherwise they would have score 350+.

Well said. Sadly this is what the 'rivalry' has come to

 

[Fineline]

Best captain is preserving Shadab for the last overs I think!

 

[Dios]

Dhawan ruining the flow.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Amir needs to be dropped

 

[Buffet]

Dangerous 4 great WI pacers bowling on seaming tracks here. Why the hell no spinner is operating here? Pace is making it easier to score runs.

Abhi tu aur bohat kuch aye ga.

Ball is 6 overs old. What will shadab do with such a new ball?

 

[Justcrazy]

Dhawan

Nothing surprising here - he will make most teams and 2nd pacer.

 

[Madplayer]

Abhi tu aur bohat kuch aye ga.

Jaise?

 

[Yoddha]

Amir needs to be dropped

He is the best pakistan has. Speaks a lot about the kind of talent available (the lack thereof

 

[theariezman]

Question is can we take a single wicket even.

 

[babajee]

Nothing surprising here - he will make most teams and 2nd pacer.

Glad you realise

 

[Usman Chadda]

Phainta

 

[Greenstorm]

Teams should bat second after winning the toss. Ball is coming onto the bat nicely at night.

 

[B_Positive]

Pakistan players were talking so much about taking 5fers and performing so well vs India and preparing from long time for this Asia cup and look what they have done. Perhaps they have prepared a bit too extra

 

[Imran Hasan]

 

[Yoddha]

This must be embarrassing.

 

[Madplayer]

Best bowling attack getting torn apart.

 

[Fineline]

Ball is 6 overs old. What will shadab do with such a new ball?

6 overs or 12?He might do something that the fast bowlers are struggling to do i.e getting a wicket.

 

[shortbread]

Imagine if pandya had bowled his full quota, that's another 30-40 additional runs. Plus Sarfaraz's catch would not have been taken. Jadav would'nt have bowled, so likely to bat full 50 over quota. That injury proved to be deadly.

Lack of fitness still hurting Pakistan!

 

[Justcrazy]

Lack of another specialist spin option will eventually hurt Pakistan. It hurt Pakistan against Lanka in test series , but Pakistan reluctant to play spinners and only looking for darters who can bat. Very bad policy.

 

[MMHS]

Dangerous 4 great WI pacers bowling on seaming tracks here. Why the hell no spinner is operating here? Pace is making it easier to score runs.

PAK think tank is preparing for WC 2019 in UK through this Asia Cup - you should consider these games as net session. Hardly matters, as long as combination is tested.

 

[Madplayer]

6 overs or 12?He might do something that the fast bowlers are struggling to do i.e getting a wicket.

6 overs old. Arent there 2 new balls given to bowlers from each end?

 

[Tyler Durden]

Oh dear! Why do you guys bowl that length to Rohit, Pull shot is his bread and butter, he scored a majority of his IPL runs only via Pulls and hooks. Don't you dare bowl that length to him.

 

[Yoddha]

Change the rules - india needs 80odd in 10 overs with 2 wkts in hand.

 

[Khurrams22]

Get rid of Amir and Imam asap

 

[Justcrazy]

He is the best pakistan has. Speaks a lot about the kind of talent available (the lack thereof

He is not interested in playing that many games . Need to rotate the fast bowlers

 

[Madplayer]

51 from 36 balls.

 

[Billa86]

Pakistan cricketers more interested in what hair styles they have rather than cricket performance. Absolute pathetic performance from them... Shameful....

 

[BlackShadow]

Just watched Pandya injury, looks bad! This is why I wanted these key players to be rested.

 

[Itachi]

looks like we should win here.

 

[cricketindiafan]

36 ball 50 on a slow pitch. Has been a a wonderful innings to watch

 

[theariezman]

Jaise?

Pait main dard wagaira wagaira

 

[Square Drive]

Thank you Hong Kong for losing yesterday.

 

[Shafi]

What happened to Hasan Alil?? Looks like his purple patch is over

 

[Dios]

Hasan Ali getting hammered. What happened to the best ODI bowler in the world?

 

[troodon]

Hasan Ali getting destroyed.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Oh dear! Why do you guys bowl that length to Rohit, Pull shot is his bread and butter, he scored a majority of his IPL runs only via Pulls and hooks. Don't you dare bowl that length to him.

Think they want to finish off the match early.

 

[Fineline]

6 overs old. Arent there 2 new balls given to bowlers from each end?

Alright my bad but clearly,the pace bowlers have failed to put up a good show on this dead pitch so bringing Shadab early on would do no harm.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Rohit playing a Captain's knock and not letting Indian fans miss Kohli.

 

[Mainul]

So the question is, was the victory against India in CT a fluke? I am thinking so. Where is the fluke specialist Mamoon ?

 

[B_Positive]

Ok I am out now.... Bye guys.. enjoy the show..

 

[Yoddha]

He is not interested in playing that many games . Need to rotate the fast bowlers

Imagine if kohli played. Pakistan would have lost by 20 wickets

 

[Imran Hasan]

 

[Shafi]

Looks like it was a pure flat track pitch to score 320-350 runs. Our batsmen just can't score

 

[Madplayer]

6 overs or 12?He might do something that the fast bowlers are struggling to do i.e getting a wicket.

I will give it to you. Well done

 

[Fineline]

What a joke!Its too late now.Dumb captaincy like I said earlier!

 

[DesiMunda]

India suck against spin. Moeen & Rashid won the series for the English !! What were Pakistan thinking with 4 pacers ?

 

[alized]

Hasan Ali is the worst bowler to play for Pakistan

 

[Madplayer]

Collapse incomingggggggggggg.

 

[Fineline]

I will give it to you. Well done

Thanks brah!

 

[shortbread]

Bring on the spinners and suffocate the batsman. Let Shadab do his stuff here, a breakthrough is crucial before the target is under 100.

I told u so....I told u so....I told.......

 

[Billa86]

Hassan Ali is turning into absolute trundler....

 

[Greenstorm]

Indian fans should enjoy this while they can. We all Know who is going to win the final

 

[Mainul]

Hasan Ali getting hammered. What happened to the best ODI bowler in the world?

He is the big match player.Dont perform in these kind of meaningless matches.

 

[ARK Rafay]

OUT! I think Pakistan selectors and management did a horrible job of not picking spinners here.

 

[babajee]

Superstar

 

[castortroy]

God knows that possessed the batting line up at the oval that day because pak batting line up is normally cannon fodder against Indian

 

[Gullycricket]

So the question is, was the victory against India in CT a fluke? I am thinking so. Where is the fluke specialist Mamoon ?

He is preparing his next theory

 

[Tyler Durden]

Take another wicket of Dhawan and see how our Indian Middle order struggles to score the remaining 70 odd runs. Pakistan is just 1 more wicket away from victory.

 

[Buffet]

Dangerous 4 great WI pacers bowling on seaming tracks here. Why the hell no spinner is operating here? Pace is making it easier to score runs.

A spinner and change in pace gets first wicket. It may be too late.

 

[ManFan]

India to win with three wickets in hand.

 

[Yoddha]

Rohit got bored, now the next guy to get some practice (of getting bored

 

[ManFan]

Why do Pakistan need a bashing in the opening game to correct simple mistakes?

 

[castortroy]

Reminds me of the World Cup game where it's was a spinning track and we went in with one spinner

We are very poor readers or a pitch

 

[Madplayer]

Rayudu wayudu can get out easily.

 

[Mainul]

Sarfraz the bigbelly star, is having a clueless match. Why the best spinner in your side is after 12 overs of hammering?

 

[alized]

Now IMAGINE if Shaheen was playing. He would’ve destroyed the top order for SURE!

 

[Pete Rose]

It’s ego (built on old stereotypes of Indian batsmen) that leads to selection of 4 pacers, and its stupidity which leads to bowling short to a guy with a strike rate of 266 against short pitch bowling

 

[Pete Rose]

Now IMAGINE if Shaheen was playing. He would’ve destroyed the top order for SURE!

He would have been hammered as well

 

[Billa86]

Pakistan cricket team should be ashamed of this performance. The likes of Sarfraz, Asif Ali, Hassan Ali, Imam do NOT merit their selection in this team......
