Make no mistake, Pakistan and India are the deserving #1 and #2 T20I teams

[Kohli The King of Chase]

I read that Pakistan fluked because they played Aus C team. Warner is a really good player. Smith a nothing in T20Is. Their seamers never play T20is.

Even Pakistan didn't play their 5 main players if u look that way.

Babar #1 batsman
Imad #3 bowler (when injured)
Rumman T20 specialist
Usman rested for Shaheen
Sahibzada the debutant

So this looks like a Pakistan C team.

Rather than mocking , and attacking each other, we should be happy that we are the top 2 teams.

Shinwari and Ruman aren't essential parts of our T20 team. It was our best 11 minus Babar. But yes we deserve our number 1 ranking and it isn't a fluke no matter how much people try to say it is.

Should have had a t20 world cup this year. Who knows what our team will look like in 2020

Just like Starc and Hazelwood doesn't play T20is. No, minus Imad, he was a top T20I until he got injured, and Shaheen and Sahibzada are newbies just like Short and Richardson.

Playing Shaheen in a final was a risk. He is very young with very little exposure. Rumman or even Shinwari would make our best XI over him at the moment.

Shaheen is being selected on potential more than anything. Which tbf he has a lot of, and if he is groomed properly he could be a key bowler in the next world cup.

This was also india's C team.
Bumrah
Kuldeep
Bhuvi
Were not playing.

That's what my point is. Both teams are deserving and we also played the team which did not have AB, Faf and Qdk.

If we pick and choose it's not going to go anywhere. Both set of fans are embarrassing and it's of no surprise as we Asians are LOSERS.

Agreed and would like to appreciate that you are one of the unbiased posters from both sides.

Especially from Indian side as many posters from India start giving personal remarks rather than producing facts and sticking to cricket.

Imad and Rumman are most definitely essential players in the Pakistan T20 side. Imad is by far one of the best opening bowlers in the format and his ability to stem the run-flow makes him an extremely important player, something that was evident by how poorly Nawaz performed in the same role during his absence.

As for Rumman, he may not have established himself in T20i cricket but he is still the best bowler in the world in powerplays average-wise (I'm talking T20 and T20i cricket) and a bowler who seems tailor-made for limited-overs cricket.

With these two and Babar Azam in the side, the Pakistani T20 team would only get better.

 

[lehen]

I believe we are not in top 3, our bowling is top notch but the batting is brittle.our catching has also deteriorated in the last 2 years or so in LOIs. India must improve the batting. Right now too much dependence is on the openers and Kohli isn't the same finisher he was 3 years ago and so isn't Dhoni who should have retired by 2015. We already have better prospects like Pant Shaw and Maavi etc warming the bench of the 2nd string benches
this series also should have been won 3-0 disappointed

There's a case for Ruman but no case for Shinwari. Most of his success has been in the PSL.

Highly impressed by Shaheen, very matured and looks very down to earth. He will go a long way, only if he stays grounded.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India has a lot of room to improve. Will they make some bold calls?

 

[Mainul]

Yes, they are the top teams in T20 .There shouldn't be no doubt about it.But to me India should be the no 1 team.If there were a series between these two, it would have been interesting.Pakistan has a stronger bowling attack and India has a spectacular batting line up.

 

[Aman]

It's T20s, who cares?..

 

[AMSS]

It's T20s, who cares?..

Pakistan does. Pretty much nobody else though.

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

Pakistan does. Pretty much nobody else though.

And we've played the highest number of T20Is.

 

[aloo paratha]

Pakistan vs India series, 3 tests 5 ODIs and 1 t20... Mouthwatering prospect.

 

[Asif321]

imad should replace nawaz
Rumman is a very good t20 bowler and will help us to contain the opposition . will he replace shaheen or shinwari that remains to be seen

I rated England as the second best t20I team before the match yesterday and i gotta say that i have changed my mind. [MENTION=132715]Varun[/MENTION] [MENTION=65183]freelance_cricketer[/MENTION] [MENTION=113824]Nikhil_cric[/MENTION]

Fantastic performance from the Indian team yesterday and they have shown that they are better than both Australia and England.

Second best t20I team.

 

[Slim]

And then you guys have played the highest number of t20Is and play your full strength teams. Dont shy away from such things. What does one gets from lying?

 

[Aman]

Pakistan does. Pretty much nobody else though.

It's all hit and giggle cricket which is played to get casuals to watch.

The only thing that has a shred of credibility is the T20 WC and that's only because it's a ICC event. I'd still put CT above it.

Thanks brother. Didn't see you around when we won though.

I went out shopping with my family brother. Man got other things to do too.

 

[BlackShadow]

Tamasha rankings are being taken too seriously.

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

Pakistan again proving why they're #1 team.
