Pakistan (145) defeat England (140/7) to win the 5th T20I by 5 runs - Pakistan lead series 3-2

[James]

Pathetic batting from England.

 

[PakPremi]

But you do think we have a chance because of our solid top order don’t you?

No one is playing this game with our template

No I do not all I am saying these two are the best batsmen Pakistan have to score any runs,but I would prefere Fakhar to open with Rizwan and Babar at 3 and any in form proper batsman at 4, someone new.

 

[Marooned]

Anyone else still concerned? Moeen and Malan seem to have some destructive performances to their names.

Yep, England very much in it.

 

[Ahmed216]

Shadab has become a world class leggie. Another one of mamoon’s favourites

 

[Kianig89]

Shadab should get another wicket in his spell

 

[Kianig89]

Game evenly poised

 

[Marooned]

Shadab has become a world class leggie. Another one of mamoon’s favourites

Top 3 imo. With Rashid and Hasaranga.

 

[TeamPak95]

England bat deep, Pakistan need wickets wickets and more wickets. Also how many times have the Eng batters missed the edge?

 

[shamaan]

Brilliant bowling iftikhar needs to keep it tight

 

[Rana]

So we won’t get to see Jamaal bowl?

 

[Kianig89]

For how long will we cover up the woes of batting through bowling

 

[ZafarKhan2022]

We seem to be missing 2 middle order batsmen who can pierce gaps in the middle overs to pick up singles and doubles.

 

[Bilal7]

Shadab should bat at #4 in the next game. We need to see how good his batting is.

 

[PakPremi]

I would say Dawason's innings was fluke and Eng deserved to loose after poor batting. Pakistan was exceptional in bowling except that 1 over by Hasnain.

There wasno question about thatbasically young bowler cracked afterfisrt boundary hit and started to bowlhit me balls.

 

[NeVerMind]

Chacha gets Malan!

 

[Kianig89]

Only wickets will dent Eng otherwise they can make 20 in an over

 

[Marooned]

Chachaaaaaaaaaa

 

[Gullycricket]

Sad day for some posters who were hoping to blame Rizwan

 

[shamaan]

Beatiful delivery slower in pace

 

[ZafarKhan2022]

Ifthikar seems to be a competent spin bowler, was he under utilized during the asia cup?

 

[Kianig89]

Alot of batting still.left

 

[Marooned]

Malan tuk tuk put out of his misery.

 

[Rana]

Bottle job England deserve to lose

 

[Gullycricket]

Again asking what's so special about the English template

 

[NeVerMind]

Sad day for some posters who were hoping to blame Rizwan

They were hoping for a real challenge that us to defend 100 runs on the board...

Meanwhile, I'm singing "Chacha Magic" to the theme of Monkey Magic in my living room!

 

[TeamPak95]

There we go Ifti

 

[MSaad1237]

Chacha is a better bowler than he's a batsman.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Ifti chachaa comes through! Pakistan favourites at this point but a couple of big overs can change all that.

 

[MenInG]

For Pakistan team detractors.

 

[daytrader]

Again asking what's so special about the English template

Seems like they're using our template. If Malan played this innings as a Pakistani, fans would've been calling for his head

 

[MenInG]

Bottle job England deserve to lose

Stop repeating that in every other post.

 

[Kianig89]

Win probability is such a fraud Pakistan won last time when probability down to 0.5

 

[Kianig89]

Top top over from Iftikhar the second coming of Hearth

 

[Gullycricket]

Haha yes. They proudly say Anyone but Rizwan. Blind haters

 

[Marooned]

That appeal tho lol.

Chacha all over England.

 

[NeVerMind]

Seems like they're using our template. If Malan played this innings as a Pakistani, fans would've been calling for his head

England also a very a one dimensional team... Only one gear that is hell for leather which also lost them the series against the Saffers in white ball cricket

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Great display by shadab and iftikhar

 

[Marooned]

Win probability is such a fraud Pakistan won last time when probability down to 0.5

Tbf they came back from dead. 0.5 seems about right.

 

[NeVerMind]

Big run out chance missed and over throws....

 

[Kianig89]

So far the series has been Hollywood stuff

 

[Ahmed216]

That was disastrous piece of cricket from shadab

 

[daytrader]

England might get 120 max if they're not bowled out

 

[TeamPak95]

Runout chance missed and overthrows. Last thing Pakistan needs.

 

[Marooned]

What was that???

 

[Kianig89]

Once we land in Australia bowlers like Iftikhar might become useless

 

[Gullycricket]

England just surpassed Rizwan in 12 th over. But but Asif Ali wins us 95 percentage of matches

 

[Nasty Naz]

Huge run out opportunity missed. Could have been game over if Moeen was run out.

 

[Kianig89]

Silly overthrow to ease the pressure

 

[Kianig89]

Need a wicket

 

[cerebralrattlesnake]

Bottle job England deserve to lose

ultra level cope

 

[Marooned]

Huge run out opportunity missed. Could have been game over if Moeen was run out.

I hope it doesn't cost us.

Moieen out would've been a huge relief.

 

[IMMY69]

Woakes and Willy still to come so they'll keep going hard.

Still 50/50

 

[Rana]

Chacha

Most reliable right hand offie in T20 cricket for Pakistan

 

[Bilal7]

Wow. Iftikhar has been very impressive with the ball.

 

[Rana]

Moeen needs a 20 run over

 

[TeymurBlake]

Ifti finishes with a tidy spell.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

England will win this comfortably. Pitch is difficult to bat. Pakistan should have scored 160 here.

 

[ZafarKhan2022]

Again asking what's so special about the English template

A culture of professionalism, personal accountability, a desire to constantly improve oneself coupled with the resources of a developed macroeconomic country, a middle class who can afford hard ball cricketing equipment and most importantly - nutrition, a well funded domestic cricket system, world class coaching and training facilities.

 

[Firebat]

Spinners have been impressive this series.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Quite a spell for Iftikhar.

Will they play Jamal though or bring back Nawaz?

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Jamal with eco of 9.3

 

[NeVerMind]

Babar gives Jamal a chance...

 

[Sirris]

Why is Rizwan not behind the stumps? Who is the guy?

 

[Marooned]

Crucial over to jamal.

 

[NeVerMind]

Jamal gets his wicket on 2nd ball

 

[TeamPak95]

Oh didn’t even notice that was Jamal. Come on buddy

 

[Nasty Naz]

Jamal is in. Could be a scary over if England targets him and they likely will try to.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Like Jamal's bowling action.

And now gets his first wicket.

 

[Lemack]

Huge run out opportunity missed. Could have been game over if Moeen was run out.

Wrong, 110% of matches

 

[TeamPak95]

Yessss Jamallll

 

[shamaan]

Well done Jamal

 

[Robert]

Let's see if Beard can do another special....

 

[Marooned]

Jamal gets his 1st wicket!!!

Waseem what a catch!

 

[Sunny_majoka]

First wicket and what a stage to get that

 

[shamaan]

Why is Rizwan not behind the stumps? Who is the guy?

Haris he's a wicket keeper bateaman

 

[TeymurBlake]

Why is Rizwan not behind the stumps? Who is the guy?

Resting his back after a throw at the stumps hurt his back.

And the stand in keeper is Mohammad Haris.

 

[Saj]

Pakistan's spinners superb so far.

Hardly any loose deliveries tonight.

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan must squeeze this opportunity

 

[TeamPak95]

Moeen gonna start swinging now

 

[Nasty Naz]

Excellent to see the debutant get a wicket on his 2nd ball. England tried to target him and got out doing so. That's the risk.

Hopefully he can still keep it tight.
