India v Pakistan | Asia Cup 2016 | Feb 27, 2016 | 4th Match | Dhaka | Pakistan Innings

[desi_launda]

I hope Pakistan score 160,I dont want a boring match with India chasing 130 in 17 overs

 

[carrom_ball]

Why is dhawan dropped?

Lol, India is experimenting, they are not taking this match seriously

 

[JaDed]

Pakistan playing to their strength of defending totals and on a green pitch not sure what Dhoni was thinking,guess he is banking on dew to create issues for Pakistani bowlers.

 

[Bilal7]

Love the team that has been picked! Two hacks at the top, middle-order of Hafeez, Akmal and Malik, with Saffu and Afridi to finish things off. Then we have FOUR fast bowlers with a leggie and offie as supplementary options.

MashAllah, Allah nazar sey bachaye.

 

[London_Lahori]

Who will Manzoor blow kisses at today? Lol

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Khurram and Sarfaraz in Top6 ? That alone gives 10-20% advantage to India

I would open with sarfraz and khuraam and keep sharjeel for after 6 overs simply because he will get a nick and be gone. Only if you have brain and afridi and our managt dont have that. I would send Umar clearly because he plays seam bowling better and have better technique to deal with seam bowling. Keep hafeez and sharjeel for later on slaught.

 

[carrom_ball]

We won the toss expecting a short match

 

[Syed2015]

15 min left and Yupp TV still showing highlights of the BD UAE match, lol.

We will either get out for 110 or make 160+.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Dhawan injury is a blow. Guess we needed a lefty against these left arm pacers but anyway Rahane is no mug with the bat and his test match style technique might just prove handy on this pitch.

 

[street cricketer]

Pakistan's pace attack is looking absolutely demonic.

Fear when we come out to bat

 

[Bilal7]

why is khurram even opening..should be hafeez.

He's in the squad so might as well try him. Hafeez plays well at #3.

 

[mosh101]

Advantage India

I hope Akmal bats up the order !

 

[timeflies]

Lol, India is experimenting, they are not taking this match seriously

Already getting the excuses ready I see

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

I have a bad feeling about our batting.

Should restrict Pakistan to a low total.

Nehraji cmonnnnnnn

 

[desi_launda]

I heard a loud roar at the toss for Afridi and silence for Dhoni,should be a home game for Pakistan

 

[Bilal7]

We need to put up a total on the board first.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Rahane, Yuvi and Dhoni

Damnnnnn

 

[mosh101]

Surprised we have not played Nawaz !

 

[carrom_ball]

Pakistan has a long tail, 4 seamers and afridi, not sure if this is a good team

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Khuram
Sarfraz
Umar
Malik
Shaji
Hafeez
Afridi

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Why isn't yupp tv showing the game

 

[Sandeep]

I heard a loud roar at the toss for Afridi and silence for Dhoni,should be a home game for Pakistan

Yep, looks like Bangladeshis have flocked in to support their brethren

 

[carrom_ball]

Rahane, Yuvi and Dhoni

Damnnnnn

Stop dissing yuvi sif

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Surprised we have not played Nawaz !

I dont mind. India play spin too well remember Yasir at the world cup. Especially someone inexpierenced. Plus its a pitch that will suit pacers

 

[ChachaCricket]

Indian hopes banking on 36 year old Nehra. Who would've thought?

 

[street cricketer]

Pakistan playing to their strength of defending totals and on a green pitch not sure what Dhoni was thinking,guess he is banking on dew to create issues for Pakistani bowlers.

Tbh Pakistan would've bowled first too.

Afridi was lying through his teeth at the toss.

Ramiz asked him are you feeling nervous, Lala proceeds to say that he is very much relaxed, with a shaken voice

 

[saeed5646]

washroom - check; coffee - check; donuts - check; UPS - check; batteries in remote - check; room temperature - check; pillows on sofa - check; mobile on silence - check; messaged boss about being ill - check - that's the check list for Ind vs Pak match all set, now Get Set Go...

 

[last_knight]

No spinners.

Very very brave (aka Stupid) thinking.

 

[cricfan967]

Meanwhile Yupp TV still showing UAE vs Bangladesh

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Cant go crazy from the start despite it being a T20 see off 1st 3 overs

 

[#GreenRoars]

Good toss win for India, but still Pakistan can win if some how we post 150.

 

[street cricketer]

We need to put up a total on the board first.

Your batsmen will smash our trundlers.

 

[street cricketer]

I have a feeling that Pandya or Bumrah may mess up today due to anxiety.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Why didnt they play sarfraz as a opener.
And we could have added Khalid Latif as well. Dont know what this managt thinks sometime, its a tullas game t20, so why not add another batsmen to strengthen middle order and on this pitch.

 

[carrom_ball]

Already getting the excuses ready I see

Excuse lol, I am saying India even with experimentation will win by a big margin, bring it on

 

[JaDed]

Asia cup is not till Mar 26th i think that's a mistake in PP background.

Internet and laptop check.

BTW i hope you didnt forget to pay the cable bill.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Our batsmen should play carefully for first overs. Wicket is not easy.

 

[Barragan]

Akmal is slotted in at no. 6

Haven't they learnt anything from the PSL or realise he was the highest run scorer in the PSL?

 

[street cricketer]

I think I saw Pakistani Chacha with Kohli's picture on his dress

 

[Pakistani Pace]

C'mon Pakistan

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Let's go baby.

Sharjeel needs to fire.

 

[Professor]

Good to see majority of the BD fans are supporting Pakistan like they always do.

 

[jusarrived]

I would open with sarfraz and khuraam and keep sharjeel for after 6 overs simply because he will get a nick and be gone. Only if you have brain and afridi and our managt dont have that. I would send Umar clearly because he plays seam bowling better and have better technique to deal with seam bowling. Keep hafeez and sharjeel for later on slaught.

you have to give some one like Sharjeel in power plays , I dont think he will do better with the field spread out . if he clicks will be a massive advantage for Pak , I doubt either Khurram or Sarfaraz can do that . in Short 2 batsmen you are tryig to accommodate which Pak dint have to .

I would have made Umer keep & played an additional bat .

 

[JibranAnsari]

Lets smack em

 

[Markhor]

Sharjeel, Khurram, Hafeez and Malik on a green pitch ? Might be asking for trouble.

Need to avoid early wickets and show respect to the bowlers, won't be able to blast opposition away on this track.

 

[JaDed]

Wonder if dropped catches might matter.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Meanwhile Yupp TV still showing UAE vs Bangladesh

It's showing match now

 

[Lords]

Jeet ka sutra says India needs to restrict Pakistan below 165 and Ashwin needs to give less then 7.5 runs a over.

for Pakistan they have never lost when they set a target of 170.

Specific to this tournament, All the matches have been won by team batting first but its also true that its hard to bowl in second innings.

India practiced with wet ball so looks like they were prepared.

 

[BigBoy123]

Play the first 5 carefully

Thats the batsmen we took , not much of a choice.

 

[Lords]

Commentator says the crowd is more today then in any BD game.

 

[Asif321]

khurri gonna make indians cry

 

[IAJ]

Yeah and don't try to force the ball without timing either, all you will end up with is chipping the ball to inner circle fielders.

Is Khurram Manzoor playing? Already feeling sad for him if he he get's an unplayable lols

[Bilal7]

THIS IS GOING TO BE A SLOBBERKNOCKER!

They need to show us the average speed of the Pakistani pace attack. Reckon it will be above 145 kph, with Amir being the slowest.

 

[Strike Rate]

Pakistanis get ready for the legend

Legend will be remove from the attack after first over phainty

 

[street cricketer]

We are a bowler short. Should have picked BK for Jadeja. Hope that doesn't come to bite us in our back.

[mosh101]

Umar just has to bat up the order

 

[Syed1]

[carrom_ball]

Pakistan ke liye 2 bhi zaada hai, tabaahiiii

 

[castortroy]

Batting looks very weak

Sarfraz and Afridi are barely batsmen

 

[anuk]

[m.shah]

Bring it on..

 

[Ankit007]

Pak girls get ready to cry and Indian boys get ready to raise the flag high

 

[JaDed]

165 for Pak here is defn loss for India ,these stats don't consider the pitch at all ,atrocious.

 

[timeflies]
