No result in the 1st T20I between Australia and Pakistan due to persistent rain

[Abdullah719]

119 is the target for Australia in 15 overs.

 

[Justcrazy]

Australians have edge , but early wickets can dent there chances here

 

[Snowflake]

Get Warner early and tie em down with spin. Good chance!

 

[Darkrai]

So Babar scored more than half of the total team score, as the other batsmen looked clueless. Nothing new in this match either.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Lets be honest. Even with rain prediction teams that are batting first are always on the receiving end.

 

[Mean&Green]

Get warner early and ur in but Pakistan had already lost the game as soon as it was reduced to 15 overs. Any opposition in a game hit match like this batting first would lose the game 9/10 if they in a phase to be building towards a big total

 

[fasihulhaq94]

in hindsight that really was a mediocre innings from Rizwan. Lack of power on display again

 

[Titan24]

Australia definitely got the advantage with rain as I think defending 150 odd in 20 overs is easier than 119 in 15 with opposition having 10 wickets.

Need to get 2-3 wickets inside first 4-6 overs to be in the game.

 

[fasihulhaq94]

that 5 over reduction has killed of most of our chances in this match

 

[Afhan Ali]

Are they adjusted the target?

 

[Titan24]

Are they adjusted the target?

Pak scored 107, 119 is the adjusted one.

 

[Shafi]

Australia will chase it by 10 overs

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Nice to see the captain leading from the front.

Extremely trash he always looks in a hurry but in a hurry to do absolutely everything on the field and achieve nothing in the end

 

[DeadBall]

Amir and more so Irfan got this.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Officially babar azam's fan.

What a player this guy is, he plays fast bowling better than kohli and looks super comfortable against short stuff and swing.
Just needs to increase his average in tests to enter fab 4.

Hopefully he will as he was much more comfortable in tests last season so he just needs to continue thay upward slope.

He is a LOIs specialist.

Who is this woman in your profile?

 

[Titan24]

Thought he looked scratchy today.

Yes early on but than many modern day greats also give chances here and there on occasions even when they score big.

 

[Mercurial]

Irfan and Wahab will ruin our chances. I can't believe we are still selecting old TTFs.

 

[Shafi]

Too many deadweights in our team::: Irfan, Wahab, Fakhar, Asif, Usman Q.....Needs to get rid of these players asap

 

[ARK Rafay]

Gourment Aunty

They are Misbah's buddy, old and experience

 

[Titan24]

They are Misbah's buddy, old and experience

Musa and Naseem too? Arent they too young to be his friends?

 

[Mean&Green]

This is what I hate about cricket it has already rained they got a one hour break and yet they are taking ages to strt again like holy shitttttt

 

[imshally81]

Irfan with the new ball..

 

[Titan24]

Definitely one of the big weaknesses of cricket.

He’s kuldeeps bunny until he can’t fix that I can’t rate him and no he doesn’t play fast bowling better than kohli

 

[DeadBall]

Kid asking Wahab what his name is.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

This Australian kid doesn’t even know wahabs name lol

 

[Usman Chadda]

The guy hasn't even played a game yet

 

[Shafi]

Musa and Naseem too? Arent they too young to be his friends?

Are they playing today?

 

[imshally81]

Start with full toss

 

[marlonbrowndo]

He’s kuldeeps bunny until he can’t fix that I can’t rate him and no he doesn’t play fast bowling better than kohli

Imagine not rating Babar

 

[Titan24]

Are they playing today?

They are selected though and eventually are gonna play

 

[Justcrazy]

Irfan starts proceedings for Pakistan here

 

[Mamoon]

Irfan has lost pace and has put on weight. A completely dumb decision to select a player who was finished 4 years ago.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Irfan trying to kill Aussie players :

 

[imshally81]

Another full toss

 

[shah_1]

Irfan )

 

[Justcrazy]

Finch gets that away

 

[imshally81]

Not a bad over

 

[Mamoon]

Good effort Shadab. You looked good right there. Your job is done for the day.

 

[Titan24]

Irfan at 37 bowling ad fast as Saqib Mehmood who is 22 did today against NZ around 138-140

 

[shah_1]

Irfan looks unfit and lost pace

Not a wise decision to select him

 

[Shafi]

The guy hasn't even played a game yet

Because Australia team didn't show any interest plus even in Big bash they benched him most of the matches.

 

[DeadBall]

Irfan at 37 bowling ad fast as Saqib Mehmood who is 22 did today against NZ around 138-140

Mumood went for almost a half a century though.

 

[Indiafan]

Nothing in the pitch, ball coming easily 1

 

[hussain.r97]

Two full tosses, pace down, looking unfit, short and wide one to finish the over. What a comeback! Can't be a more stupid decision than to bring Irfan back.

This selection is simply Misbah and his obsession with experience, no other justification.

 

[Titan24]

Mumood went for almost a half a century though.

Looked nervous and off radar

 

[Justcrazy]

Finch looking in ominous form here.

 

[Mamoon]

Misbah picked Irfan for his bouncers on Australian pitches, and Irfan is responding by not even landing the ball on the pitch.

 

[Titan24]

Finch was the key for Aus in UAE ODIs. Pak just didnt know how to get him out

 

[ARK Rafay]

Irfan bowled the first bouncer and Finch showed him the way

 

[Titan24]

Irfan @37 and Amir @27 bowling similar pace. I am not sure if it’s extreme from Irfan or lack of bowling fitness from Amir in the last year or so

 

[Snowflake]

So sad to see Amir resorting to cutters in his first freakin over! I guess that's a classic T20 bowler!

 

[shah_1]

Miabah is such a poor selector

 

[iRfaN_LA]

This is pathetic, we need to cut these singles. They are stealing single every ball.

Irfan may be an asset but they guy is too unfit. Why do we keep bring TTF back? Misbah WHY?

 

[Justcrazy]

Boom , there goes another one

 

[ARK Rafay]

Too easy for Finch. Was a bad selection to pick Irfan, he looks finished

 

[imshally81]

Irfan...

 

[Abdullah719]

No-ball, short and wide at 122kph

 

[shah_1]

No ball

 

[Ellipsism]

All hail king Misbah

:

 

[kingusama92]

Everyone could see this coming with Irfan.

 

[Justcrazy]

This is pathetic, we need to cut these singles. They are stealing single every ball.

Irfan may be an asset but they guy is too unfit. Why do we keep bring TTF back? Misbah WHY?

Because he is pathetic tactically

 

[Snowflake]

Misbah picked Irfan for his bouncers on Australian pitches, and Irfan is responding by not even landing the ball on the pitch.

He's trying to go for the yorker. He's done that with a lot of success in the past. Short stuff is expected, this is a fine strategy just needs better execution

 

[msb314]

Irfan is soo rubbish

 

[Indiafan]

This experiment of bringing oldies back in t20 doesnt seem to be working. First umar and sehzad, now Irfan.

And some people want karman back. The team was doing better

 

[babajee]

Irfan

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Career ending over for Irfan. Thank you Misbah.

 

[Gullycricket]

We have always play that one player till we finally realize he is not cut for it.In WC it was Malik,then against SL Umar akmal and Shehzad and now Irfan.This should end his career

 

[Justcrazy]

The way Irfan bowling at International game shows how right was Mickey !!!

 

[Snowflake]

No-ball, short and wide at 122kph

)

 

[imshally81]

Match finished..

 

[Ellipsism]

Match losing over

 

[shah_1]

Smoked for six

 

[JibranAnsari]

The only format where we used to be good , looks like we are medicore at this too now
