Pakistan [131/9] qualify for Asia Cup final with incredible 1-wicket win over Afghanistan [129/6]

[Justcrazy]

Rizwan gone ,Pakistan need a partnership of 50 runs here

 

[shah_1]

Pakistan might lose this

 

[IAJ]

Well bowled Rashid!

 

[Marooned]

In ifti we trust

 

[Shafi]

Keep playing a proven failure like Fakhar who cannot even score 10 runs/match and we deserve to loose. Rizwan can not score and win us in every match.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Too defensive. Hit a few 6s game over

 

[IAJ]

One of these guys should have attacked the spinners. When you go in with negative mindset you will struggle.

 

[Marooned]

Shadab on. Good move. Need his quick reflexes to see through spin.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Guess today is the day Afg pull one over us. Rizwan should have stayed till 14-15th over

 

[Nasty Naz]

Look at how Sri Lanka attached their spinners and look at how we play them.

Disappointing stuff.

 

[NeVerMind]

Shadab in now so it means we have abandoned out left hand right hand approach

 

[Shafi]

Should have tried Haider. At least he can score 10-15 runs.

 

[Rana]

The tournament is dead for me if we lose this game

 

[saabir]

Not easy to face Rashid for Nawaz . Rashid looks real danger for Pakistan.

 

[shariqnoor]

Sharjah and Afghanistan are a match made in heaven.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Didn't watch the game from start, is this a different ptich, why so low score?

 

[JibranAnsari]

wasim akram just reads stats and scorecard.

 

[Usman Chadda]

With all due respect to Rashid and Mujeeb, they get destroyed by top teams time and again. I believe their best performances have come against Pakistan, if we leave the minnows aside.

 

[shariqnoor]

If Pakistan wins, Iftikhar is the man to do it.

 

[saabir]

Good to see Shadab comes . He is good against spinners

 

[Shafi]

Looks like we will be run out of overs.

 

[NeVerMind]

wasim akram just reads stats and scorecard.

Right down to 2 decimal points...

 

[Rana]

If Pakistan wins, Iftikhar is the man to do it.

Asif Ali

They have to get in those trundlers in at some point

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Didn't watch the game from start, is this a different ptich, why so low score?

Never mind its Sharjah not Duabi

 

[Rana]

Mate what is Shadab doing?

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Then people say chasing is easy.

 

[Marooned]

If Pakistan wins, Iftikhar is the man to do it.

Agree. In ifti we trust.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Which bowler we will target?? Lolx

 

[JibranAnsari]

Right down to 2 decimal points...

yeah , he is like a text to speech computer tool

 

[Usman Chadda]

Then people say chasing is easy.

They didn’t have a clue. Last three games Afghanistan has made us work for all the mediocre totals they have put up batting first.

 

[Rana]

Which bowler we will target?? Lolx

Mujeeb has one and Rashid has two

Nabi has two also

 

[Saj]

Time to see if the other batters instead of Babar and Rizwan are capable of taking the team to victory.

Looking very nervous out there.

 

[Rana]

80 off 60 needed

30 off those balls will be spin

 

[NeVerMind]

yeah , he is like a text to speech computer tool

Blind fans probably appreciate him...

 

[Asif321]

One more wicket . Now . Pakistan are done . Ifti holds key

 

[Ashmal]

With all due respect to Rashid and Mujeeb, they get destroyed by top teams time and again. I believe their best performances have come against Pakistan, if we leave the minnows aside.

This is Sharjah....perfect wicket for Afg spinners

 

[cricenjoyer]

Can never complete a run chase against Afghanistan comfortably can we

 

[shariqnoor]

Asif Ali

They have to get in those trundlers in at some point

Asif ali cannot play spinners if his life depended on it. At the same time he cannot play 135+ fast bowling. Netiher can Khushdil. Afghan pacers aren't trundlers anymore like Karim Janat.

 

[srh]

need an explosive opener who can take advantage of batting power play; Sharjeel / Fakhar should be tried

 

[Shafi]

We really need to include 2 proper batsmen who can score at least 25-30 runs each if we want to win big matches.

 

[Rana]

Need to smash this guy

 

[Champ_Pal]

Pakistan will win this easily in the end. But credit to Afghan bowlers, they are making Pak batsmen sweat.

 

[Rana]

Not sure this is a good move by Nabi

 

[Shafi]

Even Shadab is more capable batsman than useless Fakhar.

 

[Rana]

Need a boundary in this over for crying out loud!

 

[Rana]

Let’s not forget we have Lord Khushdil who will need 15 balls to get going

 

[Nasty Naz]

They can't even attack the pacers haha. What a pathetic team honestly.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Do it in 1's & 2's, pathetic

 

[shariqnoor]

Missed out on this Omarzai over. Had to target 10 runs there.

 

[Firebat]

Better to leave the meltdown until we actually lose

 

[Rana]

Why do Pakistanis call Afghans ‘Aghwans’

Is that the correct way to pronounce the name of the country?

 

[imshally81]

666

 

[Thephenom]

I’ve seen some terrible running over the years from Pakistan players but never such lazy effort from a batsmen to get in like with Zaman

 

[JibranAnsari]

what a great shot

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Huge 6 by Shadab

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Good shaddy

 

[Rana]

Slog sweep city!!

 

[JibranAnsari]

97 meters.

 

[Inswing]

This shot alone should put chahal vs shahdab to rest.

 

[Shafi]

Shahab/Nawaz should play 1 down.

 

[imshally81]

Four this time

 

[JibranAnsari]

and :4

 

[Rana]

Jee oye Shadab!!

 

[NeVerMind]

And a boundary from Shaddy

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Shahab/Nawaz should play 1 down.

Babar to come at 7.

 

[imshally81]

Good over for Pakistan... 14 runs

 

[Minnowbasher]

Drop babar

Open with fakhar and rizwan
Shan at 3

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

13 off the over. Much needed

 

[Rana]

Much needed 14 run over

 

[JibranAnsari]

big over this.

 

[Marooned]

Shadab what a gem!

 

[Colorblind Genius]

I’ve seen some terrible running over the years from Pakistan players but never such lazy effort from a batsmen to get in like with Zaman

He needs to be taken out of his misery but the Pak Think Tanks have got their brains numbed.

 

[Saj]

Could be the over that changes the match.

Pakistan need to target the medium-pacer.

 

[NeVerMind]

Drop babar

Open with fakhar and rizwan
Shan at 3

Fakhar should be nowhere near the playing 11...Shaan and Riz to open

 

[imshally81]

Another 666

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

6 by Shadab

 

[Shafi]

Drop babar

Open with fakhar and rizwan
Shan at 3

Fakhae opening. This guy cannot even 10 runs in 15 balls and you want him to be an opener. Shouldn't even selected in the squad.

 

[Rana]

Another huge 6!!

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Shadddyyyy shahzada muaaaaaaah

 

[Firebat]

Mujeeb in disbelief haha
