Ireland (183/5) defeat Pakistan (182/6) by 5 wickets to go 1-0 up in the 3-match T2OI series

[Rana]

How long will will we keep on trying? Time to put Fakhar in this place

I think Fakhar in Rizwan’s place

We saw what Rizwan is about as well even in 4 balls that he was out there

 

[MenInG]

I think Fakhar in Rizwan’s place

He was fine.

If you recall he was run out.

 

[Rana]

Babar not rotating the strike

 

[Rana]

He was fine.

If you recall he was run out.

He was fine?

I think he was lucky to not have nicked one

 

[Sher Khan]

Pakistan looking good for 120.

 

[mominsaigol]

Someone tell these boys to attack. The ground is small, very small, it's a minnow team. Test match khelnei aie ho?

Pitch is irrelevant when the boundary circle is smaller then a straw hat

 

[Shafi]

Babar is playing like Ahmed Shehzad

 

[neonoir]

Regarding the broadcast quality does anyone remember when India toured Ireland in 2022, the quality was significantly better

 

[Rana]

Zindabad Six Saim

 

[PakFan2010]

Why is Usman Khan not playing?

 

[OldWarHorse]

That took a while

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Regarding the broadcast quality does anyone remember when India toured Ireland in 2022, the quality was significantly better

Miles better. But they can generate revenue when India tours so broadcast quality will naturally be better.

 

[Rana]

What is Babar doing?

4…..4…

 

[Ahmed216]

That took a while

Trundlers can be difficult to adjust to at times

 

[Dr_Bassim]

This is a dream for Babar.

Minnow team + bully.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Poor tactics from Stirling . Should have brought himself on against these two instead of only medium pacers in the PP.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Lol run rate 5.82

 

[Champ_Pal]

Pakistan getting a move on here.

130 should be enough to beat this hopeless Irish team.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Trundlers can be difficult to adjust to at times

Any excuse to prove Babar and Rizwan are world class eh?

 

[iPakistani]

Yess, Rizwan out early now Pakistan can score big in the powerplay! Oh wait...

 

[Omer2002]

Everybody has struggled.. we are all sloggers like headless chickens.

 

[Rana]

Saim 21 off 13 in the powerplay

Babar+Rizwan 19 off 23 in the powerplay

 

[Rana]

Saim 21 off 13 in the powerplay

Babar+Rizwan 19 off 23 in the powerplay

Sorry 16 off 23

 

[Rana]

Typical Babar

4…

 

[MenInG]

Saim 21 off 13 in the powerplay

Babar+Rizwan 19 off 23 in the powerplay

And lucky to be there also.

 

[ExpressPacer]

The difference in talent between Saim and Babar the fraud is glaringly obvious.

 

[FearlessRoar]

22 dots in powerplay

 

[adi_62941]

Lolz. Where is player rotation policy??

 

[neonoir]

Miles better. But they can generate revenue when India tours so broadcast quality will naturally be better.

Just shows you the Gulf between the 2 boards atm, the PCB simply can't compete

 

[mominsaigol]

Babar sucks so hard I swear. He needs more intent. He's stuck in the rut of looking for a boundary then taking single or dot next balls.

 

[FearlessRoar]

There is no point having a long batting line up if the resources are not going to be fully utilized.

 

[adi_62941]

Looking at broadcast quality, i am thinking that i am back in 80’s.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Babar needs to wake up. He is playing like its an ODI.

 

[FearlessRoar]

The broadcast is making this match more boring and Babar Azam is playing Test Innings

 

[Rana]

These leggies against Fakhar Zaman…

 

[FearlessRoar]

Saim is showing intent today

 

[Sycamore]

24 balls only just made 100 SR

 

[Rana]

24 balls only just made 100 SR

He’s hit a few 4s

Too many dots in between

 

[Rana]

Saim has been fine

 

[Rana]

Stirling Cheetah

Gun fielder even though he weighs as much as Azam

 

[Rana]

Babar just please give Saim the strike

 

[hafizexpress]

For all everyone's been saying about Saim, he's been keeping the scoreboard ticking with a decent strike rate in spite of being very off rhythm. This is something Babar and Rizwan have heavily lacked in the last 2 years.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

What a dive by Stirling. Despite that size.

 

[Itachi]

I paid for this match..... To watch..... Seems like a bad idea now.

 

[Rana]

In the slot ball pushed for 1 by Babar

 

[jattafridi]

Tuk tuk Babar Azam

Most selfish player

 

[FreakCricket]

I paid for this match..... To watch..... Seems like a bad idea now.

same just paid for this bootleg quality

 

[Sycamore]

Babar just please give Saim the strike

SR now above 100, 30 off 27, would be average SR in an ODI match

 

[jattafridi]

Come on Pakistan

I need atleast 175

 

[Ali Active]

brodcast quality is worse than county cricket

 

[Rana]

Saim missing out on easy boundary balls

He’s going to get out soon

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Another great effort by Stirling.

 

[Rana]

Saim has missed out on at least 10 runs in his last 4-5 balls

 

[Rana]

Should have had 50 by now Saim

Missed out on some freebies just recently

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Awful bowling and tactics by Stirling.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Saim looking a lot more composed. I hope he has a good England series.

 

[Itachi]

Take that babar haters!

 

[Ali Active]

babar should play at no 3 and hold the one end

 

[Rana]

Babar absolutely fine number 3

 

[Itachi]

Another one!

 

[emranabbas]

Saim 3x6 babar 1x6

Saim playing Ireland
Babar playing Australia

 

[JattMaula]

Pakistan have arrived!


Bobby and Saim on

 

[Rana]

What a rubbish way to get out!

 

[hafizexpress]

Aim for 100 more from here

 

[Rana]

Fakhar coming out now

What a waste!

 

[Ahmed216]

Any excuse to prove Babar and Rizwan are world class eh?

They're not world class..they're the best in Pakistan

 

[Rana]

That ball should have been sent to England

Not down long on’s throat!

 

[shariqnoor]

With a decent economy, how on earth does Ireland have a rubbish-cricketing infrastructure? This ground is awful. The graphics are awful and the camerawork is absolutely shoddy. Ireland should invest some money into their cricket.

 

[hafizexpress]

Credits to Saim though. Good inning

 

[Rana]

They're not world class..they're the best in Pakistan

What’s next?

They are not the best in Pakistan…they are the best in Saya?

 

[Energy]

Good outing for Saim. Needs these innings before the main event.

Meanwhile Bobby needs a fifty so expect singles until then.

Fakhar getting strangled by the throat to the spinner.

 

[mominsaigol]

Saim still no 50 shame

 

[hafizexpress]

With a decent economy, how on earth does Ireland have a rubbish-cricketing infrastructure? This ground is awful. The graphics are awful and the camerawork is absolutely shoddy. Ireland should invest some money into their cricket.

It's unfair for their cricketers who actually compete at ICC tournaments, which is a feat not many countries can claim. This is a country that has produced the likes of Eoin Morgan and Kevin O'Brian. They deserve better infrastructure

 

[emranabbas]

Vs Ireland babar should bre going at 140+

 

[Rana]

FaKhAr Is A gOoD PlAYeR oF sPiN

 

[Shafi]

Fakhar 0 of 4 great test batting

 

[Shafi]

Azam should come ahead of Fakhar.

 

[Rana]

Good 50

Pakistan’s best number 3

 

[Sycamore]

Shadab needs to be no 4/5. Everyone else can shuffle around, but they need to utilise him better.

 

[Ahmed216]

Well played Kaptaana. The commentator just can't stop praising him mashallah
