As per IQAir, Lahore is the most polluted city in the world.

Don't get so triggered, brother
Delhi conditions is worst but this thread Is not about india .

I just gave them own does of medicine because some posters talk big when same things happened in India.

:kp
 
Is this thread about air quality???

Talk about the match and we will be fine.
Offcourse Air quality of Lahore is related to this match as South Africa players will Play under these conditions.

These things came under playing conditions like Rain , smog , pollution.

Maybe you should have read more about it.

:klopp :kp

1-1

Series on the line

13-13 in overall head to head between the two teams in 26 T20Is

All to play for today
 
Hopefully a close game, as Agha needs to be tested he got the free pass yesterday
Agreed. The last win was set up by Mirza (needs to improve his fielding though)

Chasing 110, no pressure on the batters

Chasing 180 plus, a totally different ball game altogether

Batting remains unpredictable and inconsistent

I think go with the same team series on the line it was very important saim got some runs when he last performed in Australia and south Africa we won the series
 
“Agha needs to be tested like Sarfaraz who won 11 series in a row as a specialist captain” 🤡
 
Bat first

200 on the board. This is our home deck, we need to show we have the authority to post a big total.

South Africa will do that on their home decks against you. Return the favour!
 
Yes, Pakistan raised our heads with pride after losing to USA and then failing to chase 120 against India in USA 🤡

Upsets can happen against anyone and big difference to losing against India in a one off game and losing against them three times in a row. That too in favourable conditions in UAE

Myself and many others remember that legendary opening partnership of Rizbabar that chased India's total all by themselves.

How many Indian senior batsmen of that side are now playing in their current T20I side?

Maybe none but you can't compare India's talent pool with ours. They have more than adequately replaced their previous players.

On the other hand, we have gone backwards. Playing the likes of Haris and Usman over Rizwan is a joke.

Bring back Amir and Afridi too. Dont forget Akram - the best bowler we have ever had.
 
The upset against USA and the unfortunate loss to India the next game was such a one off…

That we had to repeat the same unfortunate displays against Australia and South Africa in the following series with RizBar playing and opening the innings.

It was so unfortunate and unlucky how Rizwan played two very similar knocks to the one he played against India in NY against Australia in Sydney and then against SA in one of the T20s….

It’s just unfortunate and unlucky, otherwise we were on par with SENA+India when Babar and Rizwan are in the side!

Agha and babar don't warrant a place in t20 how can s captain show any authority with that bismal strike rate and average let's see what these two clowns do today
 
It’s sad how,

I just want to enjoy a Pakistan T20 cricket match to be entertained…

But those who I hate, the mindset that I despise, the scumbag psychology of cricket I want exterminated will just not let me enjoy this as a cricket fan!



Fine.

It’s on NOW! Your players v mines!
 
Shaeen and tariq in will be interesting to see salman mirza and shaeen bowl in tandem specially if some movement in the pitch
