India vs Pakistan | 5th match | Asia Cup | Dubai | Sep 19, 2018 | Pakistan Innings

[InziRules]

wow say the same thing after winning too

All opinions are subject to change if we win

 

[daytrader]

Babar is a beast in the UAE

 

[Asif321]

Need Babar to score big

 

[Zerotohero]

Babar"Viv Richards" Azam to score a century today and Shoaib"Ricking Ponting" Malik to score a double and India to lose by 300 runs

 

[Dingolfy]

Need to keep taking as many singles as they can. I feel like we can still get 300, which is absolutely necessary.

280 plus is enough on this pitch unless Amir doesn't get Sharmaji in the first few overs

 

[Usman Chadda]

Brilliant atmosphere in the ground.

 

[RobinJay]

Yeah I had a bad feeling.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Bhuvneshwar has such great control.

 

[shortbread]

Need to juice runs off the part time bowlers, England scored runs of pandya easily, Pakistan can do the same.

 

[B_Positive]

Just 3 more overs then we can milk their spinners

Pakistan are reknown for making part time bowlers look like ATG’s

 

[ExplicitAI]

One of my Indian mates did say that UAE pitches are super trash, so the current RR shouldn't be that bad, it's not really a belter isn't it?

 

[ExpressPacer]

It was criminal to give bhuvnashwar 2 wickets. He is not good enough.Bowling 130ks

Bumrah did an Amir, created the pressure which Bhuvi took advantage of. Scoreboards wont show it but the real reason for these wickets is Jasprit Bumrah.

 

[Theo_14]

Still a lot of time to come in this match lmao.

Exactly, I don’t why people are panicking. Its a 50 over format. We just need to rebuild.

270 will be sufficient.

 

[Harshu814]

Seikh sahab giving ratta mari hui speech lol

 

[Pete Rose]

It’s 38 degrees or so in Dubai. Need to wait out the bowlers losing a bit of stamina

 

[battler]

Any target over 200 will be tough for Indian Grandpa XI.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

shoaib Saab batting sensibly

 

[JibranAnsari]

Bumrahs being given too much respect , make use of the crease.

 

[Titan24]

Just 3 more overs then we can milk their spinners

Lets hope we will be able to pick Kuldeep Yadav

 

[MMHS]

By law of average, I am really scared for the teams in Super 4. PAK has BY FAR the best ever ODI opening pair in history of cricket - one with 75/88 & another 73/101 stats with a double as highest and the best ever conversion ratio. By maths, teams should expect to face 150/1 in 26 overs from PAK at an average ...... today it went for 2 of 16, that's average of 1 & SR of 12.5 - they will make this up for sure for the unreal potential of Imam and dominating capacity of Fakhar..... I just can pray & hope that the curse is not against us.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Runs flowing now

 

[JibranAnsari]

Looks like sheikh is reading from somewhere.

 

[Pete Rose]

Seikh sahab giving ratta mari hui speech lol

He’s a good man. Makes himself available for almost all events across the uae. Speaks Hindi/Urdu as well.

 

[Titan24]

Bumrahs being given too much respect , make use of the crease.

When you have lost two wickets early you give respect to everybody for some overs

 

[Zerotohero]

just couple of more overs and Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar will be done....and Malik is a good player of spin.

Spinners name are Kuldeep and Chahal though

 

[Fahdi]

2 good singles. The match very much depends on this partnership. These 2 stay there till the 25th over Pakistan will start feeling comfortable again

 

[mak36]

Can someone please shut him up?

 

[Harshu814]

He’s a good man. Makes himself available for almost all events across the uae. Speaks Hindi/Urdu as well.

Yeh sure he seems so

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Sheikh Sahib going on a bit....

 

[ARK Rafay]

Sheikh ........ Nahyan :/

 

[adzzy786]

Can someone please shut him up?

Agreed

 

[InziRules]

Gavaskar, this is the lowest thing you've done in your career

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Can someone please shut him up?

haha same

 

[rollingstoned]

Yea people really want to hear the sheikh ramble on and on.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Bumrah did an Amir, created the pressure which Bhuvi took advantage of. Scoreboards wont show it but the real reason for these wickets is Jasprit Bumrah.

Yeah that's true he bowled 2 maidens but batsmen should not have succumbed under pressure

 

[azimiqbal]

Pakistan just need to play sensible cricket for next ten overs
Go at 4-5 an over taking singles occasional boundary

 

[Markhor]

Customary loss of early wickets for Pakistan against a team with good seam bowling.

Middle order needs to step up and not worry about RR too much as these worn UAE pitches means it'll only get harder to bat on. Here 250 is defendable.

 

[InziRules]

Yea people really want to hear the sheikh ramble on and on.

Feel for Gavaskar. Imagine being part of a propaganda broadcast while being a legend.

Suits someone like Ramiz more

 

[LastManstanding]

Indian bowlers are giving easy singles to Babar. Need to keep him on strike.

 

[theariezman]

Can someone please shut him up?

He is speaking his heart after ages....think of 80s-90s era when these sheikhs were die hard fans of Pakistan India matches.

 

[Slim]

Thankgod the pakistani dressing room is smiling. Positive body language is important.

 

[ads101]

I'd get in Haris for Faheem next game. Our batting simply isn't strong enough and we need to pack it more.

It's a bit harsh to get rid of Imam after one game though he did look woeful, the hard part was the beginning it should get better. Imam still has a century against Sri Lanka so he's still produced stuff against non-minnow opposition to at least earn a few more chances.

 

[Amjid Javed]

At least these two players are trying to rotate the strike.

 

[Zerotohero]

Looks like Malik saab is going to continue his love affair with Indian bowlers...whattaplayer Indian basher

 

[Kashmirilion]

Just tuned In khaleel dropped by India already what a shocker.

 

[B_Positive]

I think 250 should be a good total here

 

[theariezman]

Thankgod the pakistani dressing room is smiling. Positive body language is important.

Shadab and Hassan are the most positive guys I have seen lately.

 

[BlackShadow]

Playing a bunch of bottom-ranked sides in Dubai of all places.

Skipping this tourney.

 

[Dingolfy]

Srilanka is a minnow now.They cant even against Afghans.

 

[Mueez]

Good rotation of strike by these two.

 

[ExpressPacer]

The thing is, we've had the difficult phase, now Babar needs to get on with it and play to his natural game. The batting depth of this side is amazing as we have proper batsmen till Shadab and even Hasan and Amir can more than just hold a bat.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Thankgod the pakistani dressing room is smiling. Positive body language is important.

After the early wickets. One thing is for sure that they didn't collapse. They are playing positively. Wicket or no wicket now. They shouldn't care much. Play as they are playing.

 

[theariezman]

Just tuned In khaleel dropped by India already what a shocker.

Shocker for KP and Rambo.

 

[shortbread]

pandya should be targetted for 6-7 runs an over. Criminal otherwise

 

[Dingolfy]

Just tuned In khaleel dropped by India already what a shocker.

Where would you play him in this eleven? Cant drop Bhuvi in such an Indo-Pak match and Pandya brings in his big hitting to the table.

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Babar and malik needs to target two bowlers

 

[rollingstoned]

Feel for Gavaskar. Imagine being part of a propaganda broadcast while being a legend.

Suits someone like Ramiz more

He is quite used to the sellout shtick by now. For a long time he and shastri were like a paid bcci mouthpiece and sanjay manjrekar was genuinely the best indian commentator. I suppose the ipl has a lot to do with it with all those dlf maximums and max mobile strategic time outs.

 

[Rana]

Even Pandya keeping it tight

 

[ExpressPacer]

Amazing running by Shoaib. One of the fittest cricketers on the planet. I'm shocked.

Sri Lanka's bowling is almost Zimbabwe level, a century against the West Indies would still be worth something.

 

[NeVerMind]

The speech went for so long that when we came back to the action, I thought we were in the last few overs of the innings!

 

[daytrader]

Sarfraz looking quite relaxed in the dressing room

 

[B_Positive]

pandya should be targetted for 6-7 runs an over. Criminal otherwise

Agreed but after 20 overs. Till then I am happy by 4-5 runs per over.

 

[Abdul]

"New era."

 

[InziRules]

Babar suddenly looking classy again

 

[Abdul]

"This is a reformed Pakistani team."

 

[B_Positive]

Sarfraz looking quite relaxed in the dressing room

He should its our captain. And he knows its a long game ahead

 

[Madplayer]

Epic tuk tuk

 

[Dingolfy]

Bumrah was bowling super quick today.An average speed of 140 and highest of 146.Jeez, no wonder Pakistani batsmen were struggling against him.

 

[Abdul]

Pakistan are now getting a reality check after bashing minnows for the last 12 months.

 

[InziRules]

Malik is good against spin. I hope.

Would be typical to collapse against some nobody though

 

[JibranAnsari]

Spinners will be the key , babar not good againsy spin.

 

[theariezman]

I am okay with Babar and Shebby calmness....it will pay off ... no worries.

 

[B_Positive]

Where would you play him in this eleven? Cant drop Bhuvi in such an Indo-Pak match and Pandya brings in his big hitting to the table.

Frankly speaking I was expecting him to be in place of Bhuvi but have to say good selection by India.

 

[saeedhk]

Have a feeling Chahal and the other spinner will destroy Pakistan.

 

[Zerotohero]

Babar suddenly looking classy again

For Lord's sake he is only 13(26) and not the other way round. Let him build innings first and play some more overs

 

[angrypathan]

Babar can't play leg spin to save his life so I don't see this going well

 

[B_Positive]

As long as these two are there they will keep taking singles so they should bat long. We cant afford to lose wickets against spinners.

 

[Reddy]

Bhuvi answered all his haters and Bumrah kept it tight and reached 146K with ease.
