Lions (367/6) edge past Markhors (332/9) by 35 runs in a thrilling encounter of the Champions One Day Cup 2024

[Rana]

There is a reason why Babar of all people hit Dahani for 5x4s

Don’t get hyped up

 

[Rana]

Poor captaincy from Rizwan

It’s a 500 pitch

Anything below that is excellent captaincy by the world’s Oppenheimer captain

 

[RidiculousMan]

Dahani when he gets hit because of his pace.

Dahani: Need to bowl with pace again.

Gets hit again.

Dahani: Need more pace.

Gets hit again.

Dahani: Not enough pace. I need...

Umpire: Over is complete.

 

[Rana]

@gazza619 feels like I’m watching Pakistan v New Zealand at Bangluru

 

[Rana]

Mate how is every over going for 15 right now? @mominsaigol

 

[Rana]

Zindabad knock Khushi

Best knock of the tournament

 

[RyanRyan10]

More like early 90's era. Classic Australia was smacking 350 to 400 scores in the early 2000's lol.

By 1996 Australia sealed the door for older era cricket. South Africa was the 2nd team to catch up and adjust, west indies the 3rd around 2005 ish, India was the 4th to adjust by 2006, then England a tad bit late but they adjusted by 2016.

Classic pakistan had began adjusting since 1994 where they were transitioning but they fizzled out, however the likes of inzi, Yousaf, Saeed Anwar etc were still faster then this lot, by 2009 pakistan had fully adjusted to modern era cricket but they had to give the reigns to misbah in 2011 lol.

The truth is Classic odi cricket has been dead since 1996. Australia killed it.

Too many factual errors here

 

[Rana]

Two full tosses missed by Yamin

He’s supposed to be their best hitter

 

[Rana]

What a hit man!

 

[Rana]

Why take off Dahani to bowl this guy Randhawa?

 

[Ahmed216]

Cool as a cucumber Niazi picking gaps at will

 

[Rana]

Commentators saying score is in Fakhar Zaman territory

Why not Rizwan and Iftikhar territory?

 

[RidiculousMan]

Good from Niazi. Aamer Yamin blindly running without looking or hearing the call.

 

[Rana]

I actually don’t think it was a wrong decision for Niazi wanting to keep strike

Yamin needs to understand the better ball striker should face as many of the last 12

Lions now have the highest team total, 367/6, of the Champions One-Day Cup, surpassing Markhors' 347-6 set in the tournament opener

 

[mominsaigol]

Mate how is every over going for 15 right now? @mominsaigol

Khushdil Shah capitalising on poor bowling XD

 

[mominsaigol]

Commentators saying score is in Fakhar Zaman territory

Why not Rizwan and Iftikhar territory?

Brother rana you don't get it do you, Rizwan is giving falhar a chance to prove himself under his mentorship.

Obviously if rizwan walks out hell will unleash, he is the bradman of t20 afterall

 

[RidiculousMan]

Best hundred of this tournament thus far.

 

[Ahmed216]

These are not hits, these are scud missiles.

56 ball hundred by Jos Niazi

 

[Rana]

What a beating

 

[Rana]

So the one time Markhor’s bowl first, they give away the highest total of the tournament?

 

[Ahmed216]

So the one time Markhor’s bowl first, they give away the highest total of the tournament?

Part and parcel of a rigged tournament

 

[Rana]

Fakhar
Rizwan
Agha
Iftikhar

All have experienced this during the 2023 World Cup

 

[mominsaigol]

So the one time Markhor’s bowl first, they give away the highest total of the tournament?

Why wasn't rizwan keeping?

 

[Rana]

Why wasn't rizwan keeping?

No clue.

He does whatever he wants

 

[mominsaigol]

Fakhar
Rizwan
Agha
Iftikhar

All have experienced this during the 2023 World Cup

It was mostly fakhar or bust lol

[Deewana Mastana]

Their excuse of getting mauled 3-0 against England is going to be that they had been consistently playing till a couple of days before the test series. So they had no rest or practice for 5 day cricket.

 

[Rana]

Or Rizwan wasn’t the captain

Or too many changes in PCB administration

 

[mominsaigol]

Fakhar is switched on today, Big score coming up, you can tell instantly when falhar will perform or not

 

[khyberlion]

Shaheen is done. He's only playing on his past reputation.

 

[gazza619]

I can see the anti Riz & anti Ifti elements are sharpening their knives today.

 

[Rana]

I can see the anti Riz & anti Ifti elements are sharpening their knives today.

Why are you so paranoid? You don’t have faith in Rizwan chasing this?

 

[gazza619]

Why are you so paranoid? You don’t have faith in Rizwan chasing this?

I do but you dont

 

[Rana]

I do but you dont

So stop being so faint hearted

 

[Rana]

4 overs 35 runs Shaheen

 

[mominsaigol]

Fakhar is switched on today, Big score coming up, you can tell instantly when falhar will perform or not

Like I said, you can tell when fakhar is switched on or not. It's game over for the opposition.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Shaheen is garbage. Why doesn't he refrain himself from bowling full all the time. How difficult it is to pull his length?

 

[mominsaigol]

I do but you dont

If fakhar performs and wins it, what's your justification for rizwan opening in his stead?

 

[RidiculousMan]

How did Bismillah made it among the best 100 players?

 

[khyberlion]

Abdul Samad is an opener. He will do a much better job than Bismillah.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

How did Bismillah made it among the best 100 players?

Surprisingly he has been playing for so long, even in PSL.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Fakhar Zaman looking in mood today

This is how modern cricket Is played like fakhar is doing, not your imam's or abdullah's.

Goes after every single bowler when he's onsong, Doesn't give anyone a breather.

The fact that rizwan replaced him is the biggest slap to pakistan cricket imaginable.

 

[RidiculousMan]

This is the contest I look forward. Asghar vs Fakhar. Should be interesting

The other guy Bismillah wants to play Pakistan standard cricket

 

[RidiculousMan]

Asghar's action looks slightly rushed. I remember it being quite smooth.

 

[mominsaigol]

Easily the best 50 from an opener in this tournament so far

 

[RidiculousMan]

Shows how difficult this tournament has been for openers.

 

[Rana]

Shows how difficult this tournament has been for openers.

No it shows how the openers haven’t even tried to play with cojones

 

[mominsaigol]

Shows how difficult this tournament has been for openers.

Ikr, Even Imam's fire seemed cumbersome

 

[gazza619]

If fakhar performs and wins it, what's your justification for rizwan opening in his stead?

My proposed ODI openers have always been Fakhar & Riz

 

[RidiculousMan]

Ikr, Even Imam's fire seemed cumbersome

Well yes. Fakhar's fire is un-match-able (pun intended).

 

[RidiculousMan]

My proposed ODI openers have always been Fakhar & Riz

I think Imam and Fakhar were fine combo. It's just that Imam couldn't evolve in terms of strike rate.

 

[mominsaigol]

What about t20?

 

[Rana]

This Nurpur side has no bowlers to take wickets for them

They can only do it by luck

 

[gazza619]

What about t20?

Bobby & Riz with Fakhar coming one down.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Bobby & Riz with Fakhar coming one down.

That's the worst combo.

 

[gazza619]

I think Imam and Fakhar were fine combo. It's just that Imam couldn't evolve in terms of strike rate.

Imam has lost his way big time.

 

[gazza619]

That's the worst combo.

The best one that Pakistan has.

 

[mominsaigol]

Bobby & Riz with Fakhar coming one down.

This shows you have no idea about cricket no offense

 

[gazza619]

This shows you have no idea about cricket no offense

Have you seen how poor Fakhar performs in T20 when he opens?

 

[mominsaigol]

Have you seen how poor Fakhar performs in T20 when he opens?

Have you see how poor rizwan and Babar perform when they stay at the crease?

Fakhar's 91 of 46 against full strength Australia getting pakistan to no 1 t20 rank is enough to justify him being superior to those 2 clowns

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Have you see how poor rizwan and Babar perform when they stay at the crease?

Yes true that, 6 years back.

 

[mominsaigol]

I love how the commentator says " Fakhar why are you in such a hurry, no need to make silly runs, Relax Rizwam amd chacha are their" .

Allah this commentary

 

[mominsaigol]

Yes true that, 6 years back.

Fakhar hasn't opened since Misbah shoved hos bhoota in so it's irrelevant

 

[Rana]

Iftikhar at 4

Why did the all format legend not step up himself?

 

[khyberlion]

I can't see Kamran ghulam doing well in internationals. His game against fast bowling is quite poor and probably explains why he never delivers whenever selected for shaheens.

 

[mominsaigol]

Rizwan hasn't kept nor has he batted? Why is he so scared to come out when it actually matters? Like in super over against USA and now?

Mr no 4 ki chinta khatam ho gai?

 

[Rana]

360+ Runs on the board and the heat has got to him

 

[Rana]

Very good bowling by Asgher

 

[mominsaigol]

360+ Runs on the board and the heat has got to him

@gazza619 you want rizwan as opener by kaptaan himself isn't willing to walk out?

 

[Rana]

There needs to be a petition to have Salman Butt doing commentary for England white ball cricket on sky sports

I would love to see how the audience respond to his pessimism on players shot choices

 

[mominsaigol]

I can't understand why the so called finisher like chacha can't back fakhar. So far no out of bismillah, Kamran or Chacha can back fakhar properly.

Where is the bradman of t20 cricket when you need him?

 

[mominsaigol]

@Rana Rizwan isn't even padded up? He has no intention of coming out today

 

[Ahmed216]

Shame this guy Asghar has never played a single game for Pak and this is first list a game in 30 months.
He's bowled beautifully

 

[mominsaigol]

Asghar, this guy is your new spinner for pakistan

 

[Rana]

@Rana Rizwan isn't even padded up? He has no intention of coming out today

I think he is padded up

He’s clearly non serious about this game

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Fakhar hasn't opened since Misbah shoved hos bhoota in so it's irrelevant

Fakhar hasn't opened in T20s because he was consistent failure, then rather than getting dropped he was moved down, rightly so considering his ability.
