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

[mominsaigol]

Yeah because Pakistan is in a good position.

The match is boring because of broadcast. This broadcast is terrible.

And Pakistan being in a good position has no effect in the enjoyment of the game. Ireland is a minnow, Pakistan should be dominating, yet naseem shah deapite his wicket is still being a run machine and bowling carcass.

 

[Rana]

Game drifting towards Ireland now

 

[mominsaigol]

What is this bowling?

This is Pakistan’s premier 2nd seamer????

I kept telling everyone our pacers suck, but after every game, it's always an excuse and people think we have wasim, waqar and imran Khan bowling lol

I kept saying Pakistan will lose 100% of their games against top teams if Pakistan bats first. We can't defend anything

The irony. Did you think before posting that iftikhar scored most of his runs against arshdeep?

 

[Greenstorm]

Why are we playing our top bowlers against Ireland ? Shaheen and Naseem should have given rest.

 

[Rana]

Last 3 overs have gone for 30ish

 

[Itachi]

Always give respect to your opponent even if it is IRE.

Hide him against England now

 

[Rana]

Abbas Afridi leg stump line

 

[Rana]

Tector class

I saw that too and just went with it because I assumed it was true. Funny to hear that it wasn't

 

[Caved12]

I just stopped watching this game as it started to give me a headache. For the last couple of hours, it is playing in slow motion and the picture quality is unacceptable.

 

[PakEngFan]

Imad struggling against his favorite team.

 

[hafizexpress]

If you can't hear the sound of the bat, that reduces the joy by 80%

 

[PakEngFan]

I saw that too and just went with it because I assumed it was true. Funny to hear that it wasn't

Iftikhar didn't even face a ball from arshdeep. Forget scoring.

 

[Shafi]

If Ireland can win this series it will be big slap to PCB.

 

[Rana]

Too easy for Ireland at the moment

 

[Greenstorm]

Always give respect to your opponent even if it is IRE.

We should give respect by playing mighty Amir against them.

 

[Human786]

74/2 in 9 does not look good

 

[The Bald Eagle]

If Ireland can win this series it will be big slap to PCB.

It needs to be disbanded then

 

[Shafi]

I highly doubt with this batting and bowling lineup we can even manage to move in 2nd round. Naqvi needs to go because this guy is not fit for the job. So as Babar as a captain.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

74/2 in 9 does not look good

Looks good for ireland

 

[Greenstorm]

Abbas Afridi is not bad. He can be usefull if he improves his batting.

 

[Human786]

Hide him against England now

sabko pack kar do - this is too easy

 

[Human786]

Looks good for ireland

it does ...

 

[Greenstorm]

We were runners up last time and this is a far better lineup than that.

 

[Rana]

Umpires have been good

Don’t think there was an edge there

 

[Human786]

Yeh khotey inse bhi haar jayenge ? 84/2 in 10

 

[Rana]

Balbirnie is a sweep master apparently

Clearly showing it

 

[mominsaigol]

The irony. Did you think before posting that iftikhar scored most of his runs against arshdeep?

Did you think before claiming babar makes it over sheryas? Keep playing this game with me

 

[Shafi]

We were runners up last time and this is a far better lineup than that.

So as improvements in other teams

 

[mominsaigol]

Balbirnie is a sweep master apparently

I called it at the start if the game if Pakistan bats first they'll likely lose.

The batting is too pedestrian and the bowling sucks. Also how tf is Ireland better then Pakistan at PP and Middle overs .

I knew the team was weak but I didn't expect them to be outperform us in the middle, considering their a minnow.

I thought we'd atleast be > them I PP and middle considering their minnows

 

[Greenstorm]

Shadab and Imad in middle overs are harmless. A lot relies on Abrar in WC. Although Shadab generally bowls well in WCs.

 

[Rana]

8 wickets in hand

10 per over needed

Ireland have got this I recon

 

[Shafi]

We are loosing to Ireland without their top batsman shows how worthless is this team. Babar/Rizwan can't hide their tuk tuk batting when other playing with faster pace.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

8 wickets in hand

10 per over needed

Ireland have got this I recon

Would be an upset if they lose from here

 

[Greenstorm]

Need to bring back Shaheen.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan

 

[Human786]

OUT

 

[Rana]

Very good bowling Imad

Keeping Pakistan in the game

 

[Deewana Mastana]

They can't even get Irish wickets

 

[Human786]

OUT

Told you , fastest feed in the World . right @FearlessRoar @The Bald Eagle

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Tactically superior Pakistan using a lot more spin. And that's why they'll win Stirling was rubbish.

 

[Rana]

Excellent spell by Imad considering the context of the game

 

[Rana]

11 per over needed

 

[mominsaigol]

@PakEngFan

FYI, just letting you know, The way Balbirnie and tector were playing they would have taken the side home.

This wicket by IMAD WASIM might be the game changer.

 

[FearlessRoar]

If Tector hadn't been out, he would have single handedly won the match.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Excellent spell by Imad considering the context of the game

hahah..just love your attitude bro when Pak losing its all about babar and otherwise its Imad's brilliance.

 

[mominsaigol]

Mamoon will be very happy to say "We deserve this humiliation"

He won't, because atm he's on the Babar babar trend and imad may have saved the game.

So he'll either vanish, troll or will say some nonsense such as I will unleash my pathani instincts.

He'll say those iconic words if imad and Amir fail lol

 

[Rana]

Shadab can’t be your spinner

 

[Greenstorm]

Tactically superior Pakistan using a lot more spin. And that's why they'll win Stirling was rubbish.

We only have 3 seamers.

 

[Omer2002]

Shadabbb wah wah

 

[FearlessRoar]

Ireland will win

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Easy win for Ireland or are Pakistan going to make a comeback?

 

[FearlessRoar]

And Mohsin Naqvi will give 100000 usd to this team lol

 

[Rana]

shadab 0-54 hahahahahahahaha

 

[Savak]

People keep worrying about Pakistan's batting, in reality its the bowling attack which has not been delivering for a long time. We keep playing the same bowlers day in day out in all formats and none of them ever faces the chop or accountability for not delivering.

 

[Greenstorm]

A lot rests on Naseem's second spell.

 

[emranabbas]

Require run rate jumped from 11 to 9 in just one over

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Lovely bowling by Shadab

54 for 0 off 4 overs

 

[Deewana Mastana]

55 off 36 with 7 wickets is easy

They just need 2 big overs and it's done

 

[emranabbas]

23 off the over

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Good thing to get the losses and upsets out of the way before the WC starts.

Good preparation.

 

[Rana]

That wasn’t a wide lol

 

[jattafridi]

Shadab khan super flop

Congrats Ireland

 

[Barragan]

Why is babar sooooo dumb?!?

Shadab has been struggling, but he keeps bowling him!

You have Iftikhar and Saim!!

 

[Human786]

pathetic

 

[Greenstorm]

Fast bowlers need rest. We use them like mules.

 

[emranabbas]

Even balbirnie has a better SR than Babar and he's facing a test standard team

 

[Asif321]

Will this be first ever T20I win for Ireland against Pakistan ?

 

[jattafridi]

Miss u usama mir

Why Babar why third class captain

 

[mominsaigol]

@PakEngFan

I'll give you the opportunity to retract the statement you made claiming shadab > Imad.

I won't even bring up chacha comedy.

 

[Savak]

This team is too pampered for their output. They have not won anything meaningful for ages. Babar as captain and his continous captaincy is reflective of the state of the country where the same tried and tested politicians keep coming back to power with no good track record.

 

[Greenstorm]

Will this be first ever T20I win for Ireland against Pakistan ?

No. They won't win I think.

 

[emranabbas]

Will this be first ever T20I win for Ireland against Pakistan ?

We lost to them in WC too but can't remember what year

 

[Human786]

so, is Unibrow going to cry ?

 

[Asif321]

Babar will touch a new low if they lose . Lost vs Zimbabwe . Lost first ever odi vs Afghanistan . And now first ever t20 vs Ireland

We lost to them in WC too but can't remember what year

I don’t think so . It was only 50 over WC

 

[Savak]

Fast bowlers need rest. We use them like mules.

They don't want rest. Besides their workload is nothing compared to the likes of India, England, Australia who play way more cricket vs us in all formats. Even with rest, these bowlers are very ordinary and have not delivered for a long time. It is criminal we don't give chances and long ropes to other bowlers.

 

[jattafridi]

Next match

King Amir Vs Ireland

 

[chinaman00]

This Pakistan team is such a sorry bunch. The World Cup drubbing should have forced serious changes but Pakistan is back to familiar fields of being trounced left and right.

Have been watching Pakistan cricket since 1996 and I don’t think I have ever seen a worse team than this. Truly horrible sight to see.
