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

[imshally81]

Many Afganis spotted in this forum pretending that they are Pakistani..

 

[Rana]

What is Aghwanistan?

 

[BleedGreen]

Come on!!!

 

[Kroll]

Why were Afghan fans celebrating Iftikhar's wicket? If I was them, I'd be delighted if he was still about chugging along at less than run a ball.

 

[JibranAnsari]

there is no reason to lose from this position. Shabad and chacha had a good partnership. They just need to finish it off now.

 

[Inswing]

Need atleast a 10 runs over now.

 

[BleedGreen]

Lets go shaddy!

 

[Rana]

We are going to need 35 in the last 3 considering Rashid won’t go for more than 5 or 6

 

[imshally81]

6666

Rashid got some treatment finally

 

[Inswing]

Rashid put to his place by shadab

 

[Kianig89]

Loads of spin still to be bowled this is dicey

 

[NeVerMind]

Shadab with a 6 off Rashid!

 

[Rana]

Finally a 6!!!!

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Shadddyyy boy

 

[BleedGreen]

39 needed off 24

 

[Inswing]

WTH Shadab seriously?????

 

[imshally81]

Shadab gone

 

[Firebat]

None of this playing out Rashid's over, Shaddy's going for it! ... and is gone

 

[asifp]

Ifti played on the worst innings you will see. Hanging about cluelessly. No plan.

 

[NeVerMind]

And goes the next ball

 

[Kianig89]

It's a six a huge six now play the remaining over sensibly

 

[JibranAnsari]

Now afghanistan can win this.

 

[shah_1]

Game on hai

 

[Villager6964]

Chacha iftikhar surely has to go now.

 

[BleedGreen]

****

 

[shah_1]

There was no need to play that shot at all

 

[Inswing]

Afghan have the chance now. Lets see who comes next khushdil or asif

 

[JibranAnsari]

shadab did his job, bowled 4 excellent overs and batted very well. Can asif ali and khushdil do it?

 

[Rana]

Bakwas

1/3

If he gets 3 boy I will tear into you

 

[imshally81]

Six by Asif

 

[BleedGreen]

Come on guys!

 

[shah_1]

Another SIX

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Well played shaddy

 

[JibranAnsari]

huge 6

 

[GLORY OF '92]

1/3

If he gets 3 boy I will tear into you

Go for it

 

[Villager6964]

Oh man Asif is insane hitter. Only if he could bat more sensibly.

 

[Ashmal]

Asif Ali...you beauty!!

 

[BleedGreen]

What a shot

 

[NeVerMind]

Asif Ali will not die wondering

 

[Inswing]

HAHAHAHAHAH What asif what?

 

[Champ_Pal]

Rashid Khan is the bowling Sachin of AAfghanistan.

Manjrekar puts it well. Unbelievable expectations from him and everytime he comes to bowl.

 

[daytrader]

Asif!! Huge pressure on bowlers when he's on crease

 

[BleedGreen]

Come on Asif!

 

[Abhilash93]

Barring Hong Kong's matches, all the other 7 games have been won by the chasing side. So, the history is with Pakistan here. Can the Afghanis reverse this trend today ?

 

[Rana]

14 runs

Great over that for Pakistan

 

[NeVerMind]

Go for it

One wicket and 2 huge 6! Will that do?

 

[BleedGreen]

Need 10 runs off the 18th over

 

[Saj]

That's Rashid's 4 overs gone.

Sensible batting and Pakistan should win this.

 

[JibranAnsari]

farooqi akram is here

 

[Rana]

Now Nawaz just needs to get bat on ball

 

[GLORY OF '92]

One wicket and 2 huge 6! Will that do?

 

[imshally81]

Nawaz gone

 

[BleedGreen]

Come on!

 

[Azzurri]

what loads of batting is Waqar on about?

 

[Inswing]

Nawaz LBW damnn that looks plumb

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Nawaz gone

 

[Rana]

Nawaz just didn’t look confident today

 

[shah_1]

Out

 

[JibranAnsari]

nawaz gone wasting review

 

[BleedGreen]

25 off 17

 

[Villager6964]

This is just ridiculous. Why do they mess this much.

 

[Inswing]

Dead plumb.

 

[imshally81]

It was plumb

 

[Rana]

Wasting reviews for the sake of it!

 

[shah_1]

That is plumb

 

[BleedGreen]

Need 10 runs off this over at least

 

[KingKhanWC]

Asif should bat up the order against such teams. 2 or 3 sixes their tails go down.

Now Afghans still believe but Pak still has batting. Finish this quickly.

 

[Inswing]

Come on asif and khushdil. You 2 are our last hope now.

 

[JibranAnsari]

shoudl not have wasted the review. it was dead plumb.

 

[Rana]

This is just ridiculous. Why do they mess this much.

Blame goes to Shadab and Iftikhar

They brought the equation down to 50 off 42

And then they took the foot off the gas especially when the momentum was now with them

 

[Ahmed216]

They’ve been under a lot of pressure. Don’t know y

 

[BleedGreen]

Plumb

 

[NeVerMind]

25 runs to get between Asif and Khusdil

 

[Sherazkhalid]

These guys have no brains, plumb LBW, why waste review?

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Very poor cricket from Ifthi.

Got out when he was needed to step up.

Ordinary batting.

Poor innings from Iftikhar. Very ordinary. He is nowhere close to a middle order batsman, a slogger at best.

 

[Rana]

Pakistan left to the mercy of the Indian umpires

 

[JibranAnsari]

farooqi will walk into any t20 team . Amazing bowler

 

[Thephenom]

Anybody would think we were playing prime Australia for gods sake!

 

[BleedGreen]

Yaar 2-3 chakkay maaro

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Its down to Asif Ali again.
