[Justcrazy]

Streaky shot , gets F O U R

 

[sweep_shot]

Bangladesh doesn't deserve to be in the final. A stupid team

All they had to do was see off Shaheen in the powerplay and take singles/doubles.

They instead went for big shots like a bunch of paindoos. There was no need. 136 was the target.

BD should stop selecting uneducated paindoos. Every player must have a bachelor's degree minimum.

 

[mango_bite77]

2nd boundary of the inning

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Well Indians who do you want in the final?

Pak

 

[hassan918]

Bangladesh missing him big time.

 

[Asif321]

Still possible but BD in tail now

 

[Prince of Dorne]

Shaheen to BD Team: "Aap logo ke wajah se ghar chalta hai mera"


Shaheen Afridi vs BAN in T20Is:
5 matches, 11 wickets, Avg: 9.0, ER: 4.95

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Taskin gone too

 

[saabir]

Hesson is a world class coach.

Pakistani fans really under rating him..he is a very shrewd coach..just give him decent group of 15 best players available in pakistan . He can make a difference.

 

[mango_bite77]

Not everyone is Rizwan trust me

He has inculcated this to few folks now, Naseem especially.

 

[Ahmed216]

Inshallah Abhishek departs early on Sunday and our batters do well for once.

Will be a beautiful feeling if arrogant Indians face humiliation once again

 

[Deewana Mastana]

101-9

 

[Champ_Pal]

Biman ready for take off. Hurry up and head to the airport Bangla boys.

 

[hassan918]

Lowest ever total defended by Pakistan vs BD .

Joint lowest total

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 101/9 (17.4 overs).

35 to win from 14 balls.

 

[IMMY69]

When does RizBar flight arrive in Dubai?

 

[Justcrazy]

O U T

Harris adding wickets to his tally

 

[Rana]

@Raja Ishtiaq

Can you elaborate what you intended to do if Pakistan lost?

 

[Asif321]

Mubarak . Bowling saved the day again . Time for final .

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

.

BD should stop selecting uneducated paindoos. Every player must have a bachelor's degree minimum.

Yes and when one gets a double phd, we shall see the new Bradman.

 

[Devadwal]

Pakistan is coming for final and Will have to face third consecutive loss against India

 

[Energy]

Rauf too quick. Can get a 4-fer here.

 

[mango_bite77]

When does RizBar flight arrive in Dubai?

Probably after Shaheen hitting Agha and Talat on their head in nets.

 

[Rana]

When does RizBar flight arrive in Dubai?

Never.


They can fly straight over to Sharjah and join Afghanistan if they want.

 

[Asif321]

Aghas captaincy career prolongs!

 

[Azaad]

Wish Athar was on commentary right now

Pakistan has to be the luckiest team to reach a finals. Same story of 2022 t20wc

How is Pakistan lucky this time. They won games themselves. But Pakistan has played worst cricket and somehow reached final

 

[RidiculousMan]

Pakistani fans really under rating him..he is a very shrewd coach..just give him decent group of 15 best players available in pakistan . He can make a difference.

I don't understand how management can keep Hassan Nawaz out from this batting.

 

[sweep_shot]

Pitch is very difficult for batting.

Not difficult enough to botch 136.

This was poor batting really. They were slogging unnecessarily during the first 10 overs. If they batted sensibly, they should've won comfortably.

 

[JaDed]

Ended up being a boring game.

 

[jamie smith fan]

28 ko miltai hain.

 

[saabir]

Pakistan have the best fielding side in this tournament..they hardly drop a catch and ground fielding is top notch.

 

[oatmeal]

Brainless batting from Bangladesh. This was a winnable game

 

[IMMY69]

Never.


They can fly straight over to Sharjah and join Afghanistan if they want.

Uh huh
If this is what our resident cricket genius believes then who am I to argue

 

[Asif321]

Rauf is game changer ! Took the important wicket of saif . Bowled well vs India too

 

[Energy]

Wish Athar was on commentary right now

Alongside Gavaskar. Both need a shoulder to cry on.

 

[jamie smith fan]

Brainless batting from Bangladesh. This was a winnable game

They are helping pak to take revenge on 28.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD better drop that paindoo Emon permanently. Can't catch. Can't field. Slogs like a village idiot. Shows attitude like Nupur Sharma.

Drop this retard permanently.

 

[RexRex]

Brainless batting from Bangladesh. This was a winnable game

Top 5 should be investigated.

 

[mango_bite77]

Pakistan has to be the luckiest team to reach a finals. Same story of 2022 t20wc

How ? The lost only against India. Won against SL and other associate teams.

In 2022 they lost against Zimbabwe.

 

[Justcrazy]

Bangladesh need 33 runs in 12 balls.

They need this over to go for 15 - 18 runs minimum.

 

[Asif321]

Rana time !

 

[LegendAli]

Pakistan has to be the luckiest team to reach a finals. Same story of 2022 t20wc

You don't necessarily have to be good, just better than others. There's no such thing as being the luckiest team.

 

[Azaad]

Pak being the best fielding side sounds like an oxymoron - but you're damn right!!!

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

How are we going to fix the batting for sunday?

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Not difficult enough to botch 136.

This was poor batting really. They were slogging unnecessarily during the first 10 overs. If they batted sensibly, they should've won comfortably.

If we analyze the pitch today, strike rotation is not easy today. They gone for big shots which is correct thing but couldn't connect the shots, same happened in 1st innings.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Aight Rishad, six sixes will do you….

 

[jamie smith fan]

Bowlers nai aaj izzat bachali

 

[Deewana Mastana]

4 runs Rishad shaaba boy lol

 

[Asif321]

29 from 11

 

[Energy]

How many edges have Bangladesh managed this innings? At least 30 runs i think.

 

[sweep_shot]

29 to win from 11 balls.

 

[IMMY69]

Faheem bowling his lollipops again...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Faheem bowling lollipops

 

[daytrader]

Pakistan has to be the luckiest team to reach a finals. Same story of 2022 t20wc

We bowled welll throughout the tournament. Plus unlike teams of the past, our fielding was awesome.

 

[jamie smith fan]

29 off 10 needed

 

[saabir]

I don't understand how management can keep Hassan Nawaz out from this batting.

Thats the mystery to me as well. He is your best T20 batter but sitting on the bench. May be something to do with his attitude or injury. I have no idea. He can come in this side in place of Talat or Faheem, Saim bowling well otherwise he could replace him

 

[RexRex]

Good game.

 

[sweep_shot]

28 to win from 9 balls.

 

[GlobalCric]

Bangladesh needs King Kohli here to win this...not happening..

 

[Ummii]

Rishad can hit for sure

 

[jamie smith fan]

Narrow escape for pak today

 

[adi_62941]

I think Pak play there own type of cricket and they win like that. You cannot expect them to score 200 or play with 170 strike rate.

 

[sweep_shot]

Four.

24 to win from 8 balls.

 

[Devadwal]

Well Indians who do you want in the final?

Doesn't matter for us. We will smoked Pakistan or Bangladesh.

 

[Azaad]

We bowled welll throughout the tournament. Plus unlike teams of the past, our fielding was awesome.

Yeah I think there is nothing wrong with the bowling - it's the batting which is minnow level

 

[mango_bite77]

Next Match bring Wasim Jnr for Faheem and Nawaz for Talat

 

[sweep_shot]

I think Pak play there own type of cricket and they win like that. You cannot expect them to score 200 or play with 170 strike rate.

This wasn't a 200 pitch.

I think 150 is par here. Pakistan fell short but BD fell even shorter.

 

[jamie smith fan]

4 from fizz

 

[Energy]

Faheem is a liability with the ball.

 

[saabir]

Why can't Faheem bowl the slower one. It's gripping

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Nawaz

 

[Asif321]

Oh god Nawaz !

 

[IMMY69]

Dropped a sitter

 

[sweep_shot]

23 to win from 7.

 

[mango_bite77]

Nawaz drop sitter

 

[imshally81]

Dropped

 

[sweep_shot]

Oh god Nawaz !

Dropped a sitter

Game is in the bag.

23 to win from 6.
