Pakistan (146/9) secure a 41-run victory against UAE (105) and qualify for the Super Four of the Asia Cup 2025

[Hikaru]

40 runs in the powerplay, the beast has awakened. Ominous signs for Bharat.

 

[Greenstorm]

How did India concede 42 in the powerplay to this lot?

Ball moves around in first two overs at Dubai during 1st innings. We lose early wickets during that phase.

 

[Usman Chadda]

What a terrible powerplay, and we are already chasing this game.

 

[Banda298]

Losing to USA hurt badly because that team is full of indian labourers.
But this UAE team has mostly Pakistani players maybe it won't hurt much.

How do u live with so much hate ...

 

[JaDed]

Recovered now after that start

 

[Ahmed216]

don't even go into bcci talk. they are a bunch of profiteering mfs in a separate way altogether. But yes...some great selectors and a better cricketing culture and brought India to the forefront of World cricket since Kapil Dev brought home the Cup

That holds true for any organisation.

Does BCCI president, captain and entire structure changes with change in govt?

 

[JaDed]

How do u live with so much hate ...

He thrives on it.

 

[sweep_shot]

PAK - 44/2 (7 overs).

 

[saabir]

PAK CRICKET IS DEAD

If our cricket has to be revived then PCB will have to be autonomous like BCCI.

Majority of Indians don't hate Pakistanis just the way most Pakis dont hate Indians.

Most of Pakistan is Punjab which is everyone knows has relatives and a shared culture in the other Punjab.

Its only a bunch of hamstrung fellows like u who project so much hate online

Lol which online hate post I have ever posted so far. It's the reality get on with it. See the comments of the Indians on any portal u will get ur answer. Im personally observing hatred everywhere around me towards pakistan. BTW I'm not pakistani

 

[Usman Chadda]

Going at 6 RPO once again, with wickets down in the early overs.

 

[Ahmed216]

That holds true for any organisation.

Does BCCI president, captain and entire structure changes with change in govt?

There's no stability, no continuity of policy and decision making and planning.

It worked when we had talented players now there's need to become more organised and professional

 

[Usman Chadda]

Salman cannot time even a single shot

 

[cricfan432]

We dont have players for slow pitches except Fakhar

 

[Greenstorm]

The ball hit the fielder's cap.. it should be 5 runs.. not catch.

Andy needs to apologize again.

 

[Ali Active]

Salman cannot time even a single shot

salman looks babar azam to me

 

[Sachin fan]

The ball hit the fielder's cap.. it should be 5 runs.. not catch.

Lol that's only if the cap is not on the player, for eg, on the ground. If a player if wearing any equipment it's part of his body.

 

[saabir]

PCB is a cash cow. There is a reason why most ruthless and corrupt individuals of ruling regimes want the chairman post.

Even BCCI is being run by politicians. Earlier it's president Jay Shah is a son of Home minister of India .. currently another politician Rajeev Shukla is president. Thing is India have the right system in place down the line which is running the system efficiently..

 

[sweep_shot]

Back to back boundaries.

PAK - 58/2 (8.2 overs).

 

[mominsaigol]

Fakhar is leagues ahead of Saim. People need to stop disrespecting Fakhar ASAP.

Not kicking off in t20 means zilch. He is Pak's best player period. Pcb should be ashamed and so should their fans.

Hasan Nawaz can be Fakhar's successor as I have hope for him due to his 44 ball 100 in nightmarish conditions.

Saim Ayub? No chance.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Thank goodness Mike Haysman is in the commentary box...the standard of commentary was getting shockingly low

Fakhar should open or at 3 at best

 

[baba ghazi]

Fakhar looked good against india also unless he decided to slog all of sudden..should have taken a bit easy

 

[m.shah]

How is Salman Agha captaining Pakistan, He hardly scores run a ball in t20

 

[Greenstorm]

Salman has to get going. We bat till 10 !

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Fakhar looked good against india also unless he decided to slog all of sudden..should have taken a bit easy

He was not reading Kuldeep and struggling to get Axar away

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Lol that's only if the cap is not on the player, for eg, on the ground. If a player if wearing any equipment it's part of his body.

hmm.. The ball deflected enough due to the cap, atleast it should have been declared dead ball like when the ball hits the spider-cam. No one is at fault.

 

[saabir]

Salam Agha is clearly struggling. He is supposed to be the best player of spin .once again so many dots

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Salman is in torrid form. Can't even put away loose balls

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

agha struggling to put away bad balls

 

[mominsaigol]

Fakhar should open or at 3 at best

If PCB had brain cells then

1) Fakhar Zaman
2) Hasan Nawaz
3) Muhammad Haris (He's a tulla but he has performed at no 3 even if it was vs Minnows and once vs SA while saim and Farhan aren't performing against anyone)
4) Salman Ali Agha
5/6) Saim Ayub/ Farhan (bring these guys here if their useless at the top, if their put of position they are out as their useless at that no)
7/8) Nawaz and Faheem
9-10-11) Depends on conditions if more spinners are needed or pacers

 

[Faizan001]

Can anyone help explain Salman’s game plan to me? I am genuinely trying to understand what is he achieving here?

 

[Nasty Naz]

18 off 23 for the captain while mostly facing spinners. So many awful terrible players.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Attacking shot percentage is higher than all teams besides Sri Lanka, the average is 19 though

To a layman, that means they are not so good at hitting the ball hard

Saw that only for a few seconds. Can you share the screenshot of that stat.

 

[sweep_shot]

No-ball.

Free-hit.

 

[Ahmed216]

Salma baaji ki kamzor kalaiyan

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Salam Agha is clearly struggling. He is supposed to be the best player of spin .once again so many dots

His ability against spin is massively exaggerated. He has played some good knocks on turning tracks...doesn't make him a great player of spin. He looked just as clueless as the others in the last match

 

[sweep_shot]

PAK - 67/2 (10 overs).

 

[mominsaigol]

His ability against spin is massively exaggerated. He has played some good knocks on turning tracks...doesn't make him a great player of spin. He looked just as clueless as the others in the last match

Fakhar is a better basher of Spin then Salman

 

[Hyder]

There is a reason surya didnt shake hands with agha. Because he is a shame to cricket nowadays

 

[followed]

How do u live with so much hate ...

I only hate from inside but your people show us what hate really is. It's been happening since 1947 and it will keep happening.

Saanp ke bacche saanp hi hote hai.

 

[adi_62941]

That is the difference in playing weaker teams in bilateral and in tournaments

 

[Greenstorm]

Just 28 in last 4 overs.

 

[Hyder]

Fakhar is a better basher of Spin then Salman

Fakhar
Agha
Saim

All arent t20 batsman.

Even fakhr now cant hit spin from crease. They all just come down the tract to bash. Only Hassan nawaz has shown the ability to hit from the crease in this team

 

[followed]

Agha is an embarrassment. Why he is so overhyped against spin bowling.

He can't read spinners from their hand actually no Pakistani player can.
They all are terrible at their job. They don't do their homework at all.

 

[mazkhan]

Why is salman agha the captain ?

He looks worse than the 50 yr old chacha ifthikar

 

[jnaveen1980]

What is the best T20 knock of fakhar in his career in terms of impact?

 

[saabir]

Pakistan have a long batting line up..even Haris can slog big against spinners . they need to go after the bowling now . Time running out for them

 

[Greenstorm]

Fakhar
Agha
Saim

All arent t20 batsman.

Even fakhr now cant hit spin from crease. They all just come down the tract to bash. Only Hassan nawaz has shown the ability to hit from the crease in this team

This is the downside of keeping 55m boundaries in PSL and home T20Is.

 

[prash88]

Is Agha playing a match losing innings for Pakistan? It ll get a bit easier to bat in second innings.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Expat Indians and Expat pakistanis are keeping pakistan in a tight spot

 

[Dantheone]

Pakistan cricket right now at best is no.7 or 8. Still fans expect wonders from them.
Not seeing much of "agenda" fans now this team is struggling. Who will they blame now?

 

[imshally81]

Another wide ball...but fakhar somehow managed to play...

 

[jnaveen1980]

They reached 100 in 19th over against India. Curious to see when they will get there in this match

 

[mominsaigol]

Fakhar
Agha
Saim

All arent t20 batsman.

Even fakhr now cant hit spin from crease. They all just come down the tract to bash. Only Hassan nawaz has shown the ability to hit from the crease in this team

Bhai, who is even left then . By this logic no one is.

This is why people hate Babar and Rizwan. Well true fans atleast. And by extension Misbah. The focus and obsession to focus on these 2 has caused the downfall of player development.

Now Pakistan doesnt play FC and doesnt have the pitches for it curtesy of ramiz Raja to appease babar.

This has resulted in hacks. Australia realised they were wrong and hence now their promoting Cameron Green over mcfraser and rumors are that Konstas will be replaced for either Campbell Kellaway or Weatherland for Ashes.

But Aus has a system which Ramiz raja destroyed for Pakistan (Granted Pakistan's system was still inferior to Aus even in prime)

 

[mominsaigol]

I have seen Salman almost drag the ball into his stumps like 7x now, ive been counting. This is no 7

 

[Mas-LFC]

Should be able to get 160-170

 

[Energy]

This is very poor from Agha again. You cannot be 20 off 26 balls after 10 overs and then get out. It’s pathetic batting to be fair.

 

[sweep_shot]

UAE bowlers are bowling a lot of slow deliveries. This is a good strategy.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Agha gone

 

[imshally81]

Salman gone

 

[followed]

Lol salman the captain agha with another wonderful knock with strike rate under 100.

 

[Ali Active]

Agha acting like babar rizwan

 

[sweep_shot]

Agha is out.

70/3.

 

[mominsaigol]

I have seen Salman almost drag the ball into his stumps like 7x now, ive been counting. This is no 7

And now he's out. One of the worst innings I've ever seen. This beats Saud as an opener in CT 2025

 

[Hyder]

As i said before..agha sucks the life out of innings

 

[jnaveen1980]

chewing gum won't make you viv Richards lol

 

[hur rizvi]

Agha is not cut out for t20 cricket even at franchise level

 

[saabir]

End of the misery for Agha . Guy is in big big pressure after loosing from India.. pathetic body language of captain.

 

[cricfan432]

Finally showing some sense, sent nawaz instead of haris against spin

 

[castortroy]

Might as well get knocked out here than being humiliated by India once again

 

[Hyder]

And now he's out. One of the worst innings I've ever seen. This beats Saud as an opener in CT 2025

The bubble of agha being a saviour is bursting sooner than i thought..
Honest question, do u really think this lot is better than babar?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Imagine these guys at the MCG lol

 

[zahid01]

Is Agha playing a match losing innings for Pakistan? It ll get a bit easier to bat in second innings.

Well he looked out of place now he perishes and he's our leader

 

[mominsaigol]

As i said before..agha sucks the life out of innings

More like he rammed a motor truck through us. Horrible innings

 

[Nasty Naz]

Salman mercifully out. Another garbage innings.

There is a reason why his career SR in T20's in 119. This is why you don't believe in small size samples based of a tournament here and there. He has a significant sample size in domestic that shows he simply doesn't have the power or SR ability to bat as high as he needs for the international level.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Once again, going at 6 RPO for the entirety of our innings.

There is no intent to score.

 

[baba ghazi]

not being reactive but salman agha captaincy seems done..

 

[followed]

Strike rate of 74 after batting more than 25 balls
That's the captain of this pathetic team.
Salman the captain agha.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shan Masood vs Agha who is better T20 batsman?

 

[Greenstorm]

Bhai, who is even left then . By this logic no one is.

How did Ramiz Raja 'destroyed' the FC system ?

These are the talking points of mediocre ex cricketers who have vested interest in perpetuating the farce knowns as departmental cricket.
