Pretty disgraceful and cowardly stuff from shehzad, India went at 6 an over in this phase.
 
Haris Sohail can rotate strike easily.

Shehzad can't find a single in 6 balls and plays a maiden.

Unreal.
 
shehzad is under tremendous pressure. now we will see if he is mentally strong or not
 
Shez doing misbah here. Tuk tuk and then go for big one.
 
Wickets in hand is all fine and dandy but its going to serve as jack all if it comes down to a 100 required of the last 10.
 
shehzyyyyyyy just rotate stike yaar forget the big shots for now
 
Shehzad should work on a stronger upper body, simply lacks power in many of his shots

Pakistan's run chase here reminds me that dont hope dont dream when they are chasing. They always cheated me in the past,gave hope in early part of their innings but shattered at last
 
The running. :facepalm:

Both are ball watching.

These are basics. I want to smash something.
 
When you take so many deliveries to settle, this is not the way you are supposed to score. If Shehzad had to take risks like that, then why bother wasting deliveries earlier? :facepalm:
 
:))) Loving this. We need to keep Shehzad in crease for as long as possible #BleedBlue #KabPhorengeYaar

Probably best to get him out before 50. Once he gets there, even if it's at a strike rate of 50-60 odd, this really isn't the bowling lineup to stop him after that.
 
I don't understand how you can be a good player with such limited SR ability.

If Pakistan fall short, wouldn't it be because top opener played at SR of 50 with no ability to rotate strike ?
 
Shahzad can be of so much utility if only he starts rotating strike.

Right now, he can either block or hit out.
 
Disappointed in Shehzad. Can't seem to handle the moment and pressure. Carelessness being shown.
 
Calm down guys RR is still under 6.8. We need 234 in 210 balls and 9 wickets in hand
 
Those Indian supporters thinking Shahzad on wicket is bad for Pakistan should keep on thinking that way.... This is Pakistan and really the best we can do.
 
Why don't they run the first one hard? Whenever it feels like they should run 3, they run 2. Or is it just me?
 
Shehzad's going to sky one any minute now... playing rashly, lacks the power

OM goodness. Just checked the scorecard. Mighty 6-fer Khan got a 5-fer :O!!! and Kohli ko vapes Ghar bejdiya!! .Masha Allah . What a talent .:bow::bow: Where were you hiding these many years my dear 5fer Khaan:( ???.

Hope he continues this and doesn't become a Wahab Riaz who took a 5-fer against Indian last WC and then never repeated the same
 
Shehzad playing his favourite shot against spinners- straight to fielders.
 
How easily Haris take singles without extra effort with soft hands now this is something Shezi need to learn he go too hard on ball
 
Just keep milking these guys. The bowling is mediocre if you don't implode .

Never a good idea to take it easy and let him stick around. If he manages to make it out of the first half of his innings, the second half usually looks very different.
 
Pakistan should chase this if they keep wickets in hand.

Good luck to both sides. Calling it a night. Enjoy!
 
I have a feeling.

At one point it will be 8.5- 9 runs per over in last 15 overs.

And lower order of Afridi, Maqsood and Umar will be asked to finish the match at RR of 9 :)

Either that or we will win comfortably in 35.
 
Better from these two. Really hope Haris can make a name for himself this game

I think, PAK has to reach 170/2 at worst after 35 overs with PP to come. That's maximum they can cover in last 90 balls.
 
Wickets in hand is all fine and dandy but its going to serve as jack all if it comes down to a 100 required of the last 10.

That would actually make us favourites. With the power play rules, 100 off last 10 is very gettable with wickets in hand.

Fact is that we need to bat on and this is the only option for us..It is not like the next one who comes in will boost the strike rate like no tomorrow .
 
We needed someone like younis here to take care of the spinners. :facepalm:

The difference will be the hammering delivered to Yasir in the middle overs, whilst shezhad tuk tuks the spinners and spoils the chase.

Get Afridi in now and let him take care of those spinners.

This is why we blow chases most of the time. Shehzad and Haris should have the brain power to realize that they should be around 150 with 20 overs and wickets in hand.

Essentially 5 runs an over is all that is needed right now. No slog shots. Really disappointed in Shehzad. He crumbled under the pressure in the last over.
 
Pakistan need to take some calculated risks. They can't just leave everything till the last 20 overs.

So True. 96 QF, 99 game and Mohali are best examples. Also T20 WC Final.

If it happens again, i promise they need psychiatrist help more than any other coach.
 
Shehzad has a very dangerous tuk tuk and smash approach, when he has the strokes to just dab the ball like dhawan did, who also doesn't have the perfect technique.

Playing a maiden chasing 300 is just criminal.
