[JibranAnsari]

You need to chill, this is a dead rubber, we'll meet two more times after this. No ones's worried here.

Why 2?

 

[Syed1]

Bobs in the 40s... first fifty against India coming up.


Remember the name

 

[LastManstanding]

We need to stop these singles.

 

[adzzy786]

Malik is looking tired. Not a good sign

 

[Slim]

Sobers bhai???

 

[mak36]

All of sudden Indians are again "disinterested" in the match

[Rinnegan Sasuke]

Why 2?

I'm an optimist

 

[JibranAnsari]

Oh hope ,he is alright.looks nasty.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Pandya injured

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

What happened there?

 

[Syed1]

Cricbuzz says Hardik on the ground.... what happened?

 

[B_Positive]

Please stop bowling Mr Pandya

And he did

 

[mak36]

Bobs in the 40s... first fifty against India coming up.


Remember the name

He was unlucky not to get a 50 in the CT final- played for the team.

 

[Slim]

Sobers was going good for Pakistan. Why sobers why?

 

[Shaddy86]

Why does the Indian kit have 3 stars? Are they counting the world T20 as an ODI world cup win?

 

[Syed1]

He was unlucky not to get a 50 in the CT final- played for the team.

Generally does

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Is there any turn on this pitch?

Not much

 

[mak36]

Cricbuzz says Hardik on the ground.... what happened?

He held his side and dropped to the floor. He's conscious but looks to be in pain.

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

Oh that sucks

Struggling to breath?

 

[mak36]

Stretcher coming out now.

 

[Syed1]

Is Pandya going to continue?


If not, then this spells trouble for India

 

[Something]

Babar Azam was one day short of his 5th birthday when Shoaib Malik first played for Pakistan in October 1999

 

[cricketindiafan]

On course for 270+. Excellent batting against the spinners who are feeling the pressure

 

[kingusama92]

This looks awful. He can't even move a little bit.

 

[mak36]

Hope it's nothing serious.

 

[B_Positive]

Is Pandya going to continue?


If not, then this spells trouble for India

So india is 1 down already

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

hop its not a serious back injury. Feeling bad for Pandya.

 

[Syed1]

I thought Pandya was a supremely fit guy.... why the cramps so early in the game

 

[Madplayer]

Hope he is okay.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Pandya not looking good i hope its not serious one

 

[Usman Chadda]

Man that’s a sorry sight. Hope he gets well soon.

 

[Watsupdoc]

This looks serious. Hope he’s okay.

Whose bright idea was it to play the games in Dubai in september??!

 

[kingusama92]

Might be a progressive injury which finally gave away on this delivery.

 

[Something]

Well, the game just got a whole lot easier for us. Pandya off.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Damm. I hope he's okay. Reminded me of Ahmed Shehzad

 

[B_Positive]

Pandya not looking good i hope its not serious one

Its a long tournament. I hope he doesnt come out to bat

 

[Madplayer]

Sad state of affairs

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Pandya has been stretchered off. Hope he is ok

 

[Rinnegan Sasuke]

I thought Pandya was a supremely fit guy.... why the cramps so early in the game

Could be the heat. It's dangerously hot in Dubai, not good conditions to play in. Hopefully he's fine.

 

[Syed1]

Pandya had a knack of picking up a wicket here or there... this unfortunate injury will play in Pakistan's favour

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

So India are one player short now?

 

[B_Positive]

Could be the heat. It's dangerously hot in Dubai, not good conditions to play in. Hopefully he's fine.

Cant be more than India right?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Looks pretty serious tbh

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Hardik's injury is unfortunate. Hopefully he is alright.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Thats not good i hope he is ok. Dont want that to any cricketer. Its not v good condition to play in dubai. Pathetic stuff from BCCI. They should have held the asia cup in india.

 

[Something]

Isn't it clear that he is dehydrated/heat stroke? Why does the commentator insist on a pulled muscle. If you pull a muscle you writhe around in pain. Not drop dead.

 

[Syed1]

Well Pandya along with Bumrah and Kohli are the only Indians who play all formats IIRC, so he had as much claim as resting out this tourney as King Kohli did

 

[happydavy]

It's a good team stop slitting wrists... this is your first eleven minus Kohli.

In terms of squad, yes just Kohli is missing. But in terms of actual xi, if Dinesh Don Karthik, Rayadu and Jadhav are going to be part or playing XI, then we should lose 4 out of 9 league matches in the world cup.

 

[daytrader]

Looks more serious than a hamstring, hope he's ok

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan need to expose indias 5th and 6th bowling options here.

 

[Something]

Thats not good i hope he is ok. Dont want that to any cricketer. Its not v good condition to play in dubai. Pathetic stuff from BCCI. They should have held the asia cup in india.

Why would Pakistan participate in the Asia Cup if it were held in India?

 

[DeadBall]

Cant be more than India right?

It is, plus the humidity. It fells like you're in an oven. In the presser vid Rohit was saying it's hot in India too but this is just ridiculous. I had said before the start of the tournament that it was ridiculous playing it in September in the UAE. I think this might be one of many injuries.

 

[theariezman]

Question is can he later do the batting.

 

[cricketindiafan]

What was that wild throw from Dhoni. Another opportunity missed

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

That is why its important to have some practice in these conditions. Pak players play here regularly. Kudos to them.

 

[AFM]

Sobers looked dehydrated

 

[Syed1]

Not good just 3 off that over

 

[GreenKhan]

In the long run this poor start will do Pakistan no harm . Realistically we will lose early wickets especially in the World Cup and that will also include Fakhar Zaman , how the middle order responds will be a crucial, so this is good experience . Playing against Zimbabwe maybe got us into a false sense of security .

 

[NeVerMind]

Please stop bowling Mr Pandya

Be careful what you wish for...

 

[B_Positive]

We should take Kuldeep to bonkers now. he cant be allowed to settle in

 

[happydavy]

Pakistan looks good for 260+..Malik and Babar need to ensure that they don't do anything stupid for the next 10 overs. If both of them stay until 30th over, then regardless of what the RR will be, Pakistan will post a good total.

 

[Amirforpresident]

Copied from Cricinfo : If it's back issue for Hardik and not cramp..then it really puts question on injury management for the team...Saha...Bhuvi ..Ashwin...... Playing players that are not fully fit"

 

[JibranAnsari]

Brilliant bowling by kuldeep.

 

[Sam99]

So India are one player short now?

Nah Dhoni, Rayudu, Dk and Pandya.

 

[cricketindiafan]

Both Chahal and Kuldeep are bowling 85 kmph plus which is higher than their normal speed. Yesterday they were bowling 75-80 kmph! A little bit under pressure.

 

[Syed1]

Runs drying up

 

[Ab Fan]

A wicket and India have bowlers who can make collapse happen. But at this point, momentum is with Pakistan.

Babar and Malik both are looking class act.

 

[Something]

Slowing down again. They need to keep the scoreboard ticking. They should be well settled in by now.

 

[Dark_Horse]

Imagine Pakistan plays here tests as well ; 90 overs of heated oven

 

[Usman Chadda]

Both Chahal and Kuldeep are bowling 85 kmph plus which is higher than their normal speed. Yesterday they were bowling 75-80 kmph! A little bit under pressure.

No, they are adjusting as quality spinners. Their average speed is far too slow for these pitches. These batsmen are picking them off the hand, which means the batters are one step ahead already.

 

[khan991]

250 is a good score here

 

[adzzy786]

250 is a good score here

We are not in the 1990’s need 300 here

 

[theariezman]

Nah Dhoni, Rayudu, Dk and Pandya.

not because of Kohli...yeah Pandya is out that's something.

 

[Syed1]

Slowing down again. They need to keep the scoreboard ticking. They should be well settled in by now.

Tests are generally played in the Oct to Feb time frame when it is not as warm, but I get what you are saying

 

[castortroy]

What is the wicket like?

Typical Dubai slug fest?

 

[Slim]

Runs drying up

Relax man

 

[Amjid Javed]

We need to increase scoring without either batsmen throwing their wicket away here.

 

[daytrader]

Why is Malik wearing a scarf in this heat

 

[angrypathan]

Keep ticking along at 4 rpo till 25 overs then amp it up

 

[theariezman]

Why is Malik wearing a scarf in this heat

May be to absorb the sweat.
