Pakistan (141/8) hand Afghanistan (66) a thumping 75-run defeat in the Final of the UAE Tri-Series

[followed]

How will it be easy when Afhghamistan have been giving them tough time lately? If toss only decides match they may as well not play the match, obviously batsmen have to bat sensibly and put up good score Afhganistan play spinners well so there should be not much threat for Afghanistan from Pakistan bowlers, and dew may factor in too later.

Pakistan should bat well especially batting first. No need to be scared of spin bowling.

 

[PAKFAN12]

Farhan gone

 

[RehanG]

Farhan looked very nevrous.

Lol dumbo farhan. Kick him out. He is not better than those losers zimbo and Rizwan.

Find someone else maybe yasir khan should be tried.

 

[Asif321]

Farhan looked very nevrous.

What’s the use of all this domestic experience guy debuted during Sarfraz captaincy . Still plays like a noob

 

[Shafi]

Not only spin but Afghan fast bowling way too good. Why parchi Shaheen is playing. So Farhan's batting got exposed.

 

[RidiculousMan]

My old fear about Farhan is coming true again. I was against his inclusion particularly because he comes across as a domestic bully and someone who can't perform on big stages.

Lol it might not happen today.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Pakistan's batting is a complete joke. Team is loaded on garbage batsmen.

 

[PAKFAN12]

Sahibzada Farhan getting cleaned up in this series to a moving ball. He needs to work on it.

 

[AZulfi]

Too many hacks in this team

Hit or Miss Farhan departs

The bat and pad gap of Farhan is bigger than my dreams

 

[Usman Chadda]

Farhan getting out like that to a mediocre bowler twice, there is something seriously wrong mentally with these players when they play for Pakistan.

 

[SherWaqar]

Farnham. Another fraud. What was that?!

 

[MenInG]

Lol it might not happen today.

We always buck the trend.

 

[Asif321]

Another crap start by Pakistan . Can easily collapse to 100 all out with all this pressure

Fazalhaq bowls at 130 nowadays and Pakistan making him look like wasim akram

Some people just don't have it to handle pressure and perform on big stage

Ek se badh ke . They can’t play when you put them under little pressure

 

[followed]

Get rid of these losers maybe only keep Hasan Nawaz and saim(who is a hit or miss)

Time to try some new batsmen and bowlers as well.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Can't play their spin as it is and getting dominated by Farooqi. lol what a team.

 

[Ahmed216]

Sahibzada
Next please

 

[RyanRyan10]

Farnham. Another fraud. What was that?!

Who is Farnham?

 

[Asif321]

Time for Saim now to succumb to pressure

 

[PakFan2010]

Intent is needed in T20.

Farhan did nothing wrong.

The Powerplay is about taking risks.

 

[khyberlion]

As I said many times Farhan is not cut for international cricket.

 

[SherWaqar]

Who is Farnham?

Typo

 

[PAKFAN12]

It was a nothing delivery. Just a ugly hoick.

if he can't face fazalhaq farooqi , i don't know how he'll face Jasprit bumrah and Arshdeep in the Asia Cup . Surely he's not the perfect player as an opener.

 

[Asad T]

I like Farhan, no fear. The shot was on. Just unlucky

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Cut shot 4 by Fakhar

 

[saabir]

Pakistan looking really under pressure so far. Very tentative like they are playing against India

 

[Asad T]

Hesson is starting to look pakistani

 

[Deewana Mastana]

I like Farhan, no fear. The shot was on. Just unlucky

He needs to work on moving his feet and not get stuck in the crease.

He needs to create angles.

 

[AZulfi]

Farhan getting out like that to a mediocre bowler twice, there is something seriously wrong mentally with these players when they play for Pakistan.

Agreed. At least give yourself a couple of balls (to judge the conditions, pace of the bowler) before launching a big heave like that. These hacks can either slog or freeze. No ability to bat intelligently / rotate the strike

 

[Deewana Mastana]

That was a stupid thing by both batters

Caught nowhere could've been run out

 

[Ahmed216]

Saim Ayub is another kitten it seems

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Hai Jazba Junoon toh himmat na haar

Kya baat hai yaar

 

[followed]

Fakhar zaman has never been a T20 player. I don't expect much from him and saim seems to becoming a stat padder who can only do well against low ranked teams.

 

[Shafi]

Looks like one sided match loading. Imagine what India will do to this parchi team.

 

[PAKFAN12]

I like Farhan, no fear. The shot was on. Just unlucky

can't just be unlucky if he get out in the same way again and again.

 

[BlackstoneRock]

150 in final will be tough to chase …, Pak should construct this carefully

 

[Shafi]

Fakhar is the only batsman in the team who can score. If he out cheaply we will not even score 100.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Million dollar drive from Saim

 

[SherWaqar]

Can they make 120?

 

[Ahmed216]

More like it Saim. Express yourself

 

[Deewana Mastana]

That was a good shot by Saim

 

[adi_62941]

In your imaginary world, when has any pakistani player ever performed on a big stage. Please correct me

 

[BlackstoneRock]

Fakhar is the only batsman in the team who can score. If he out cheaply we will not even score 100.

He rides luck … hope for catch drops or mis chance … one run out chance gone begging already

 

[Asif321]

Hopefully Saim shows he belongs to this level

 

[Asad T]

such an adorable umpire

 

[BlackstoneRock]

Rashid is such a brilliant player … bat bowl field and captain … true role model

 

[Sachin fan]

If Babar or Rizwan were 9 runs of 9 balls in the powerplay, there would have been a lot of attacking and abuse and name calling. Just saying.

 

[Shafi]

AFG batting is way too good now-a-days with proper batsmen not hack. Need at least 180 and we have to bowl well.

Saim ayub has already played way too many t20is and failed so many times that's why he has average of 22.

They are not T20 players and nor is fakhar zaman who is a brilliant odi player but T20 is not his game.

yeah, but bowling econ of 7.5 makes up for it imo

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

RSA may not do well in ICC knock out tournaments generally but the mentally weakest side in the world without any doubt is Pak.

They are scared to play both the eastern and western neighbors & it shows. Like a cat on a hot tin roof, running around cluelessly. Shocking for a team that has been playing cricket for nearly 70 years.

 

[Asif321]

Saim looks lost too

 

[Shafi]

True but others are even worse than him.

Truth is there was nothing wrong with RizBar opening, theypaid price for the inability of the middle and lower ordermaki g use of sound start they provided

Pakistan strike rate in power play in 2025 - 118
Pakistan strike rate in power play in 2024 - 124

I don't think there is any improvement. They have a bunch of short skinny guys who are possibly under 5'7" without being able to use long levers in the power play. Only guy that has long levers is Hasan Nawaz who doesn't have any sort of technique. But he can get away with few mishits. All the other short guys will be worked over in various other countries.

 

[Mamoon]

Such slow batting by Babar and Rizwan today. They have wasted the PP again. Need to bring in players like Saim and Fakhar who are dynamic and aggressive.

 

[Asad T]

Saim looks lost too

for real, these guys need to rotate the strike and not consume dots (at the very least) while the figure out how to play these guys

It’s crazy they have such a line of quality spinners with an element of mystery and can bowl upfront with the new bowl..

 

[Asif321]

Power play waste

 

[Deewana Mastana]

He needs to work on moving his feet and not get stuck in the crease.

He needs to create angles.

I've just seen the shot he got out to.

He should've looked to hit straight down the ground rather than going across and looking to hoick it. Also no feet movement again did it for him as well

 

[adi_62941]

What a silly way to play a newbie spinner. Extreme foolish.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Very unconvincing start by Pakistan, it seems they have come to get rolled over by Afghanistan. This has a one sided Afghan Victory written all over it.

 

[Asif321]

Saim looks like he will be out any moment

 

[Mamoon]

Truth is there was nothing wrong with RizBar opening, theypaid price for the inability of the middle and lower ordermaki g use of sound start they provided

There is no world in which Babar and Rizwan don’t walk into the best Pakistan XI in all formats.

This new era drama will end in tears and it will end soon.
