India vs Pakistan | WT20 Group 1 | 21/03/14 | Pre Game Discussion

[Sherlock]

India's game to lose really. The record in these tournament shows it.

Realistic point of view.

 

[Inzy's Aloo]

ALOO's XI

Sharjeel
Shehzad
Hafeez (c)
Umar
Maqsood
Kamran (w)
Afridi
Bhatti
Gul
Junaid
Ajmal

We have two shocking liabilities in the squad that I fear will definitely be playing tommorow, Shoaib Malik & Sohail Tanvir

 

[TimOCruz]

This is what I'd go with.

Shehzad
Akmal
Hafeez
Sharjeel
Akmal
Maqsood
Afridi
Bhatti/Babar
Gul
Ajmal
Junaid

 

[Sherlock]

Sharjeel doesn't deserve anymore games. Truly shocking player.

 

[justarslan]

We have no chance against rock star Indians.

 

[cricket99]

1. Kamran Akmal
2. Sharjeel Khan
3. Ahmed Shehzad
4. Mohammad Hafeez (B)
5. Umar Akmal
6. Shahid Afridi (B)
7. Sohaib Maqsood
8. Shoaib Malik (B)
9. Sohail Tanvir (B)
10. Saeed Ajmal (B)
11. Junaid Khan (B)

(B) means Bowler.

This team will win easily.

If Umar Gul will play then Pakistan will loose 100 % because he will go for atleast 50 runs in his 4 overs.

 

[Aman]

Will Pakistan outscore Kohli?

Kohli's an ordinary T20 player, if he bats 18 overs or more against strong batting teams India will lose more often than not.

 

[yadunoe]

I would go with
shehzad
kamran
hafeez
sohaib
umar akmal
shohaib malik
Afridi
Bhatti
babar
gul
ajmal

 

[Safar55]

Shezad
Kamran
Hafeez
Malik - dont want him in the team - but expect him to be chosen
Umar akmal
Shohaib maqsood
Afridi
Babar
Gul
Ajmal
Junaid

 

[desi_launda]

If BK plays,pakistan will win 100%

although he has increase pace,he has lost his swing and is now a crap bowler..just cant buy a wicket

 

[FreeBird]

I will definitely be open to send Afridi at 1 down if the match situation demands it.

 

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

Very excited for this game. Would be hard getting some sleep tonight. Can't wait for Pakistan to smash India and for myself to go out and celebrate tomorrow night.

 

[nafaiz]

Every world cup encounter counts. Even the warm ups, there are no warm ups between us. Only wars.



But hey, i only included it in the graveyard, didn't count it in streak.

if the warmup matches count then the streak is already broken in 2012 warmup game by pakistan.. shouldn't include younis in the graveyard i suppose..

remember kamran and malik won the game for pakistan...

 

[siqbal00]

ALOO's XI

Sharjeel
Shehzad
Hafeez (c)
Umar
Maqsood
Kamran (w)
Afridi
Bhatti
Gul
Junaid
Ajmal

i will swap sharjeel position with kamran ... rest looks good.
I hope and pray to God, somehow Malik and Tanvir are kept away from field

 

[nafaiz]

beware of dhoni & ashwin's legside wide ball stumping wicket which will be annoying to the batsman and opposition fans

ashwin tried that trick with maqsood in asia cup but he forgot that karthik is keeping instead of dhoni...

 

[MRSN]

Kohli's an ordinary T20 player, if he bats 18 overs or more against strong batting teams India will lose more often than not.

true. he's a slowish for T20s..The only Indian batsman I fear is Rohit Sharma..he has one of those modes that can take the game away from Pakistan..

 

[Chunnster]

Go Pakistan! But, where is my thread on Don Bradman Cricket 14? I thought would be newest thread... it had pics of players done and user creator search (chunnster) for your teams and release info for Pakistan and all sorts.... um...??

 

[Hitman]

Want to see Yuvraj do well.

 

[MRSN]

i will swap sharjeel position with kamran ... rest looks good.
I hope and pray to God, somehow Malik and Tanvir are kept away from field

then Sharjeel should just sit out and be swapped by Malik..I know Malik is not in good form but I back him to deliver against India..Indians best bowling will come from two spinners and Malik is a very good player of spin.

 

[Aman]

Yuvi, Raina, Rohit and MSD will be the key players for India.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan always choke against india in wc s , lets hope they change it this time.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to have there explosive batters up the order and take advantage , its only 120 balls, do not want to see bat in 18th over.

has to be up.

 

[BlackThunder]

Just a few hours to go now Pak fans better get ready for another whopping in world cup games.

[Electron]

I think India will choke this time.

Its called banter nobody knows who is gonna beat who but its always important to add some spice when the game involves India vs Pakistan.

Can't wait for the match. Hope we win it.

 

[Justcrazy]

The team that wins this will go to semis, very likely

 

[Aman]

KO game for India, they ain't beating Australia.

 

[Statistics375]

This WC will probably be a CT repeat for us.

Not that i want that but it seems likely judging by the quality of the players we are playing.

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Can anyone tell me what time this match will start in New York? Thank you

 

[Aman]

About 7 hrs and 30 mins from this post.

 

[Kianig89]

Shehzad Kamran Hafeez Sharjeel Maqsood Umar Afridi Tanvir Gul AJmal Junaid


Don't think we need Malik enough spinners already

 

[MRSN]

conditions are different and the format is different...it'll be a different story..

9:30am

 

[Couch Cricketer]

India are favourites for this match according to all the bookies. We might have more match winner but they usually win with individual performances where India will win more of as a team. A few miserly overs from Ashwin or Sir and a Few big overs by an Indian batsman we will wilt like always.
That's what annoys me most about our performances against India in world cups we are in the drivers seat should win but as we are more dependent on individual performances one guys failure brings us down. Where as India come together as a team some great stops in the field a few good overs and suddenly Pakistan is under pressure and loosing.
Same could have happened in the Asia cup match but a blinder in the end by Afridi helped us squeak through.

[Saqs]

Can someone please explain why Shehzad is playing in t20s

 

[Aman]

Team India's world is crumbling, both ICC titles living on borrowed time and their much vaunted streak likely to be snapped in the next 12 months #Lovin'it

ur comments are spot on... yes pakistan rely heavily on individual brilliance and that backfires when the opponent plays as a team...

 

[Mamoon]

Can someone please explain why Shehzad is playing in t20s

He is young and talented.

 

[Aman]

Time for the streak to GTS.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Okay

 

[MRSN]

Can someone please explain why Shehzad is playing in t20s

at least he isn't a legside hack..I know he starts slow but it's T20s..so he will change his approach..

 

[Haroon786]

Don't see anything other than a Pak win here, this is Ajmal's tournament.

 

[waqar goraya]

Hafeez, Ajmal , Kohli and Raina are the key players today.

 

[Saqs]

at least he isn't a legside hack..I know he starts slow but it's T20s..so he will change his approach..

By the time his SR creeps above 50 we'll be in the second half of India's innings.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Today is as good as a quarter final.. I predict green domination today.

 

[Saqs]

Don't see anything other than a Pak win here, this is Ajmal's tournament.

Ajmal and Hafeez will beast mode this

 

[waqar goraya]

I don't expect Sharjeel or Shehzad to last beyond 6 overs as they are so poor against spin. SO the onus will be on Hafeez. Umar has never performed against India. Malik is making a comeback as is Kamran. So, my intuition says that Pakistan will find it very difficult if Hafeez does not contribute

 

[Chromeuser]

Pakistan has weak team and I back India to win this one as usual.

 

[Electron]

That time was earned. Would love to see Kiwi birds flap their wings and earn something big one day.

 

[Aman]

Don't worry, next world cup won't be in India

 

[dani2k]

Team India's world is crumbling, both ICC titles living on borrowed time and their much vaunted streak likely to be snapped in the next 12 months #Lovin'it

May be...but TODAY they are still with us Love every moment of it. Nothing wrong in thinking about the future, but thinking about the present is sweeter

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Ajmal and Hafeez will beast mode this

As long as the batsmen put a decent total to defend and the pacers don't go for too many. No offense Pakistan look very beatable this time round. SA and AUS start as favourites imo.

 

[Chromeuser]

Don't worry, next world cup won't be in India

You are jumping around as if NZ has won many Tri-Series in their home country leave aside ICC tourneys or other countries or subcontinent lolz.

 

[Aman]

I know we have better team than India in non SC conditions.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Would be epic if the streak lives on tonight. Nonetheless, these 22 years of invincibility have been amazinf memory and i will alwaya cherish the streak even if it ends tonight.

 

[Aman]

2 streaks on the line today?

 

[nafaiz]

I think India has never beaten pakistan on fridays... is this fact true??... But i'm pretty sure though...

 

[nafaiz]

how is the weather for tonight's match, will there be any dew..

 

[waleed88]

Shehzad Sharjeel Kamran Akmal and Maqsood all are poor players of spin. Chances are India might give the new ball to spinners. Shehzad might be the best of the lot. But the problem we don't rotate well against spinners we usually play dot balls and that is the problem we have. Gotta play the spinners well fast bowlers won't be a threat on this wicket.

 

[style_guru]

Sharjeel for Pak & Talunted for India are a curse. Remove them both.

 

[Love Pakistan]

Can't sleep. I want Pakistan to win but I'm still not sure if they gonna pull this off or not. Indian team is very strong.

 

[Justcrazy]

Chances of Pakistan win is slim , it rests on India Batting badly

 

[Atif]

Chances of Pakistan win is slim , it rests on India Batting badly

If Pakistan somehow manage to bowl first then they will win.

 

[waleed88]

Even though I hate kamran and shoaib Malik I'm afraid they are gonna be in the team. This will be the starting lineup :

Kamran akmal
Ahmed Shehzad
Hafeez
Umar Akmal
Sohaib maqsood
Shoaib Malik
Shahid Afridi
Bilawal bhatti
Sohail tanvir
Ajmal
Gul

Can't see junaid khan in the lineup. Our team wants batting depth although I would love to see junaid play. I have honestly not seen a more bits and pieces squad than this one. Pathetic selections. Players can be soo inconsistent on their day its just really hard to predict what to expect from them on the day. On their day anyone can win you the match. Shockingly bad middle order.

 

[nafaiz]

if pakistan lose tonight they might well lose all three against WI and AUS as well i suppose..

 

[whatthewhat]

Shahzad
Kamran
Sharjeel
Hafeez
Afridi
Akmal
Maqsood
Gul
Bhatti
Talha
Ajmal

 

[Arsal_AK]

I think this is what they should go with.

Shehzad.
Sharjeel.
Kamran.
Hafeez.
Maqsood.
Malik.
Umar.
Afridi.
Gul.
Ajmal.
Junaid.

Strong on both counts, batting and bowling.Five bowlers and Malik and Maqsood to bowl if something goes horribly wrong.They both are capable IMO, therefore no need to play an additional bowler.

I think Talha should be added too seeing how well he performed against India in the last game..so I'll sit Sharjeel out for him..

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

PAK are favs

pakistan will never ever do this

no tanvir how come.... he is our wasim akram , u know how do i mean that...

 

[Electron]

India choked big time in that Asia Cup match and chances are, they will choke here again. I am already preparing myself for a disappointment.

 

[Haz95]

Indians saying India will lose and Pak saying pak will lose which means pak will lose

If you need 7-8 batsmen in a T20 match, something is horribly wrong with your batting.

 

[Arsal_AK]

Our batting is horribly wrong.Considering that Malik and Kamran will play this is the best I could come up with.You can add a bowler at the expense of Malik or Sharjeel.But will it happen??Not in a million years.

And besides what is the point of playing 6 bowlers??

 

[B@$!T]

Will the boundaries be as short as the warm up matches??

 

[Sam18696]

Pak's gonna lose

 

[Dragon]

I'd say Pak should win this one since it's a t20 match

 

[Ikball]

InshALLAH pak will win not only this time but also in final.
