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

[PakPremi]

Another T20 50 for non world class player.

 

[Ahmed216]

Few so called fans already hoping for Pak to lose now that kaptaana has scored some runs

 

[Rana]

Fakhar playing spin beautifully as we are told the reason why he is at 4

 

[FearlessRoar]

Run Rate 7.83 and they think they will win world cup

 

[Rana]

Few so called fans already hoping for Pak to lose now that kaptaana has scored some runs

Pakistan need 180, not Babar to score runs

 

[Ali Active]

Hopefully babar can now make no 3 his own place

 

[Human786]

113/2 in 14 - 190 enough ?

 

[Ahmed216]

Pakistan need 180, not Babar to score runs

Just hope they don't get there

 

[Rana]

Hopefully babar can now make no 3 his own place

Lol

It’s his place

Hopefully he realises it and isn’t stubborn in wanting to open

 

[Omer2002]

Is fakhar playing Gulli Danda... i mean how ugly and awful is this,

 

[Rana]

Just hope they don't get there

Are you already worried for Babar’s poor captaincy?

 

[stani_pak]

It seems like Saim Ayub is destined to not hit a 50 which is a shame, he deserves one. He might be like Misbah good ODI player but never to score a century in the format, in Saim case he will be the one to not hit a 50 in t20 (im just joking people) inshAllah he will get one soon

 

[Rana]

He’s the best number 4 in Pakistan bro

Respect him

Saim did his job fine

He was doing his best to not waste deliveries

 

[Itachi]

This kind of bowling friendly pitches should be banned in t20.

 

[shortbread]

As per insider info, Ireland have played a trick on Pakistan by saying this is a 50 over match. Poor Babar is still under the conviction of picking up the scoring rate after the 40 over mark. ICC should take strict action against the Irish!

 

[PakPremi]

Pakistan need 180, not Babar to score runs

Babar runs must get added to opposition total.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Another ODI innings from Babar in a T20. His scoring rate is costing us matches.

 

[Itachi]

Danger man gone.

 

[Rana]

Decent innings

Well batted. No problem with these kinds of contributions when you weren’t given the privilege of a complete powerplay

 

[Rana]

Babar runs must get added to opposition total.

They get added to his fanbase fuel for social media propaganda total for sure


PAKISTAN FIRST

Everyone else later!

 

[Ali Active]

Lol

It’s his place

hope so I dont find any place for rizwan though in this team

 

[Ahmed216]

Are you already worried for Babar’s poor captaincy?

I am enjoying the game without any agenda.

 

[Rana]

Azam wasteman

 

[Rana]

Shadab before Iftikhar

What a joke

 

[Omer2002]

He’s the best number 4 in Pakistan bro

Respect him

Well said

 

[Itachi]

What was that shot?

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

What was that shot?

Obese parchi shot.

 

[shah_1]

Such a waste of time to follow Pakistan cricket

Hopeless and cowardly

 

[Rana]

You know what

Azam may actually not be international material

 

[Usman Chadda]

Azam is rubbish, his international career should be over after this series

 

[Ahmed216]

Waste of a spot Azam. I've never been more certain of a player failing at top level than this guy. Incredible that he has backers

 

[Itachi]

They get added to his fanbase fuel for social media propaganda total for sure


PAKISTAN FIRST

Everyone else later!

He played OK today though. It wasn't THAT bad.

 

[Rana]

Pakistan can get shot out here for 160

 

[Shafi]

Azam khan is such a rubbish player

 

[mominsaigol]

It was a good innings by Babar. Good job, even if it was a minnow I always give credit where its due. Bit babar needs to learn to accelerate faster.

Imagine if he got dismissed when he was 19 off 22? Like bro, you can't always do this, you won't score 50 everytime. You should not take your time broskie.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Should we still expect anything from this team?

 

[Forum363]

Decent innings

Well batted. No problem with these kinds of contributions when you weren’t given the privilege of a complete powerplay

What? He came in early and scored 14 of 18 in the powerplay. That’s a decent effort?

 

[PakPremi]

They get added to his fanbase fuel for social media propaganda total for sure


PAKISTAN FIRST

Everyone else later!

Still same applies runs he scores add to Pakistan total and for bowlers to bowl against something if we relied on players like Azam Khan then we be lucky to score 100.

 

[FearlessRoar]

You know what

Azam may actually not be international material

franchise cricket product

 

[Greenstorm]

Azam can't play short ball and oppositions know it. Shouldn't be in world cup.

 

[shah_1]

Irfan Niazi is better than this joker Azam. I would pick a bowler than this useless fat lump

 

[Rana]

What? He came in early and scored 14 of 18 in the powerplay. That’s a decent effort?

He recovered ok

14 off 18 is poor no doubt

 

[FearlessRoar]

Irfan Niazi is better than this joker Azam. I would pick a bowler than this useless fat lump

Iftimania is coming

 

[Itachi]

Why 6s from Pakistani batsman looks like coming from a half hearted shot?

It feels like they were not fully committed in hitting it.

 

[Rana]

Shadab wasteman gone too

 

[emranabbas]

Should be the end of azam khan

 

[Rana]

Azam’s dismissal:

You have 5 players already on the boundary…you don’t even have to be an international cricket to take the first few balls you get to rotate to the boundary riders.

 

[ssuhaide]

Really pleased Azam Khan failed but I expect he will be given all these games plus the World T20 to prove himself. Will go down in history as the worst ever international T20 batsman.

Anything less than 180 Ireland will chase down - they are no mugs they will go all guns blazing

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Is there some Duck day today?

 

[MenInG]

Think the challenge now is to somehow blame Babar and Rizwan for this.

Our best minds will be working on this.

This is what BA and Riz are working with.

Azam Khan walks in like he owns the place

Shadab the same

Zaman Khan is the only hope now along with Imad

 

[Rana]

Shadab and Rizwan will get sympathy love from Babar for getting run out

 

[Itachi]

Jeez! What a BIG RED LIGHT!!!!!!

 

[emranabbas]

Imad will be the saviour book mark my post

Only player with head on his shoulders

 

[jattafridi]

Pakistan 123/5

What’s going on

 

[Omer2002]

well well my prediction to come right..but this time Babz cant say we are using the rotational policy..i think he should say we need to play Nepal to build our confidence

 

[Rana]

Are you challenging me to find a reason to blame Rizwan? I can btw

 

[FearlessRoar]

Now iftimania show

 

[JattMaula]

Why 6s from Pakistani batsman looks like coming from a half hearted shot?

It feels like they were not fully committed in hitting it.

It's the broadcast angles. They are causing it looks malnourished.

 

[Human786]

so , is 171 enough ?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Azam’s dismissal:

You have 5 players already on the boundary…you don’t even have to be an international cricket to take the first few balls you get to rotate to the boundary riders.

Wrong.

He played a half-hearted nothing shot. If you want to go aerial, atleast commit to the shot.

 

[Shafi]

Ireland should win this match.

 

[jattafridi]

Last 4 overs need 42 runs please

 

[Rana]

Wrong.

He played a half-hearted nothing shot. If you want to go aerial, atleast commit to the shot.

Don’t think he wanted to go aerial

Was shook up by the short ball before.

Was expecting a full ball

 

[Human786]

Now iftimania show

Yes , Beast will now explode

 

[jattafridi]

Pakistan team needs to improve otherwise no semi final

 

[Omer2002]

Pak isnt winning this i am afraid

 

[emranabbas]

When players like Babar consume all the balls early in the innings, it puts pressure on those batting in the final five overs, forcing them to take risks. Consequently, scoring becomes challenging for them. Babar's fifty, though impressive, its a match losing 50

 

[Rana]

Ireland should win this match.

It’s an absolute road once the ball stops swinging

 

[jattafridi]

Who will win

 

[Asad T]

The broadcasting is so poor

 

[Itachi]

Who will win

Pakistan.

This Ireland team is club level.

 

[Human786]

138/5 in 17

Stop making excuses.

Yes Babar was terrible today, but doesn’t excuse these ‘power hitters’ not even connecting cleanly.

The whole batting line-up looks out of form, too many plays and misses today.

 

[Rana]

Looks like we will get 178

 

[DeadlyVenom]

The sad thing is Azam now has to run around for 20 overs in the field as Rizwan has the gloves for this match

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Since 2022, Pakistan is the only Full Member team that has not set a target of 200 in men's T20Is.

 

[Asif321]

Gonna be new feather in babar cap . Losing series to Ireland

 

[Rana]

Pakistan.

This Ireland team is club level.

A club level side restricting an International side to below 180 on a road?

 

[Itachi]

The sad thing is Azam now has to run around for 20 overs in the field as Rizwan has the gloves for this match

This is body shaming to be honest.
