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

[Deewana Mastana]

Rauf will probably singlehandedly give 40-50 runs in his 4 overs or will he turn up for Pakistan tonight

 

[mominsaigol]

Beautiful 4 by Haris. @Nikhil_cric watch and look at it.

LOOK AT IT WITH YOUR OWN 2 EYES

 

[zahid01]

Hasan Nawaz has been crap, openers have been crap, Salman has been crap. How are they struggling against UAE???

They are mentally demoralised

 

[JaDed]

Harris coming to partyy @mominsaigol

 

[sweep_shot]

Nawaz doesn't seem ready for INTL, both games terrible mistakes.

H Nawaz is good. He once scored a 44-ball century against NZ.

His career strike-rate is close to 160.

It is just that he flopped in this Asia Cup.

 

[Smbhayi]

Good run rate for pak (over 6) but lost too many wicket.. will they last their full quote of 50 overs?

 

[mominsaigol]

Beautiful 4 by Haris. @Nikhil_cric watch and look at it.

Another one

 

[Buffet]

Get to 140 runs, UAE won't be getting it.

 

[saabir]

What a poor short from khushdil . Atleast Faheem used to score quick 15-20 runs at the end .. this team is so poor whoever u replace it's the same story

 

[Deewana Mastana]

A sorry group of losers.

Khushdil SR of 104 fails to improve... lol. These are the terrible calibre of players we have.

When you have 40 teams playing back home with no restriction on age, fitness, quality of balls etc; then this is what you'll get

 

[Greenstorm]

Finally simran getting spanked.

 

[BDfanforever]

Come on Pakistan. I want a popcorn match on Sunday.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

they want to play these jokers ahead of Babar and Rizwan. LOL

They were able to play well in fast wickets were ball comes onto the bat nicely , in this low pitches they can’t adjust their game plan.

 

[AAli98]

SA came back strong after a 20 year ban. Ban pak for 5 years let them concentrate on domestic/county cricket.

 

[Ummii]

Lol they will going to miss Sufiyan for sure

View attachment 157924

Stats do seem better, will see how he approaches other games maybe its an issue against spin, Kuldeep there and Simranjeet here.

 

[sweep_shot]

PAK - 105/6 (16 overs).

 

[hur rizvi]

This show should be over. From these batters only fakhar is an international level batter. I don't like Rizwan the batter but at least babar needs to be back.

I am all for giving saim and hasan Nawaz a bit more run but core has to be built around fakhar and babar

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Why is Wasim crying for 146 when they'll barely get to 130 unless someone blasts

 

[Mamoon]

Hesson will be like *** did i get myself into accepting this job with this sorry lot

He deserves this for allowing PCB to drop Pakistan’s two best batsmen for a bunch of clowns. He is a Naqvi puppet and he deserves this.

 

[Greenstorm]

Need to attack these pacers and get to 150+.

 

[J-Essence]

UAE team should be getting destroyed

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Uae will get bundled out like oman for a sub par score, this is already a winning total.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

UAE gave executed near their best. Good stuff.

 

[Mamoon]

Pakistani fans fully deserve this humiliation.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Yaar jazbaat par qaboo rakh kakay

 

[DRsohail]

Youths need not cry.

It’s not about PTI all the time!

I know its about criminals time, enjoy the b gherati , but b gherat wil enjoy that

 

[ask_analyse_act]

They continue to play low ranked teams and competing with them makes them belong to that league , India should send their under 19 side next year.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistani fans fully deserve this humiliation.

Everyday since 2010.

 

[psyoptica]

He deserves this for allowing PCB to drop Pakistan’s two best batsmen for a bunch of clowns. He is a Naqvi puppet and he deserves this.

You're still hung up on Babar and Rizwan? Lol

Having them on the team does not make a big difference.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

This pitch is too slow. Uae batters will not score more than 70.

 

[Shafikapeo]

They are mentally demoralised

But why ?

 

[BDfanforever]

I honestly feel this is Pakistan way of protesting and boycotting the tournament which is very silly.

 

[Ummii]

Relax guys! We're going to win this match then beat India and finally lift the trophy. The more we struggle(gets zaleel) in the beginning, the better we perform in the final stages.

 

[imshally81]

Pakistani fans fully deserve this humiliation.

Why?

 

[saabir]

They are mentally demoralised

For not shaking hand with Indians???

 

[Nikhil_cric]

The match started 90 minutes late, so could there be a possibility of dew in the second innings?

We'll see. But I don't know if they can play Rauf's pace, regardless of dew.

Minnows generally don't have players who can take on 140 kph bowlers.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Another one bites the dust

 

[DRsohail]

Pakistani fans fully deserve this humiliation.

Enjoying

Pakistani fans fully deserve this humiliation.

not surprised when you have clueless people running the board, making mockery of themselves and we have some delusional supporters who support this crap.

 

[Mamoon]

You're still hung up on Babar and Rizwan? Lol

Having them on the team does not make a big difference.

The fundamental concept for any sports team is to pick the best available players.

Babar and Rizwan walk into this team. Pakistan is a weak team with them as well, but any Pakistan team with those two is stronger than any Pakistan team without them.

There is no world where Farhan and Haris are better than Babar and Rizwan.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Ball is not at all connecting

 

[Ali Active]

Pitch is very slow uae will not score 100 here

 

[imshally81]

Nawaz gone

 

[Sachin fan]

This show should be over. From these batters only fakhar is an international level batter. I don't like Rizwan the batter but at least babar needs to be back.

I am all for giving saim and hasan Nawaz a bit more run but core has to be built around fakhar and babar

Fakhar has played over 100 T20 games and has worst stats than Babar and Rizwan

 

[JaDed]

Relax guys! We're going to win this match then beat India and finally lift the trophy. The more we struggle(gets zaleel) in the beginning, the better we perform in the final stages.

That's what I have seen in my experience as well, start bad and then pick up steam but offlate PCT hasn't been able to do that..

 

[Mamoon]

I had the last laugh again, but some clowns will never learn.

 

[sweep_shot]

M Nawaz is out.

Superb catch.

UAE are switched on.

PAK - 110/7 (16.5 overs).

 

[hur rizvi]

They might not score as much as India match even

 

[Deewana Mastana]

We'll see. But I don't know if they can play Rauf's pace, regardless of dew.

Minnows generally don't have players who can take on 140 kph bowlers.

He will come and bowl 150kph on a wicket where you got to be slow

 

[mominsaigol]

@Nikhil_cric @BouncerGuy

Shame on the both of you. Pakistan in a losing position but we will reach 140 today and it'll be all cause of Haris.

Only he can rescue Pakistan from this rut.

 

[Buffet]

Fantastic catch here.

 

[Greenstorm]

Time for Shaheen blitz.

 

[DRsohail]

Too much power given to naqvi he is not suitable to lead 2 job at one time .he should stick to licking hafiz boot as a interior minister and pcb head should be someone else

We have lickers here in pp ad well

 

[JaDed]

Danger batsman in, UAE did try their best credit to them for that.

 

[adi_62941]

I am wondering how can all of them struggling to middle a ball against a weak team in one match

 

[imshally81]

Pitch is very slow uae will not score 100 here

Exactly ...this is a slow pitch... But our bouys are getting emotional

 

[Ummii]

Junaid Siddique took a wicket but guess what? It’ll be Azam Siddiqui who’ll be even happier than Junaid Siddique lol

 

[Devadwal]

UAE fielding is top class today.

 

[daytrader]

Another out. Horrific performance. Hopefully it can be overshadowed with a win

 

[The_KING]

What a rubbish team Pakistan is. They would have been better off boycotting the Asia Cup than getting beat by UAE.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

He will come and bowl 150kph on a wicket where you got to be slow

And the best batsmen like Rohit will take him apart. But can Waseem, Sharafu etc.do that?

 

[RehanG]

this is just brainless, what the hell are coaches doing there. Absolute no planning or guidance.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

The match started 90 minutes late, so could there be a possibility of dew in the second innings?

It's September in Dubai. It's very humid. I don't think there will be any dew till this match is going on.

 

[psyoptica]

The fundamental concept for any sports team is to pick the best available players.

Babar and Rizwan walk into this team. Pakistan is a weak team with them as well, but any Pakistan team with those two is stronger than any Pakistan team without them.

There is no world where Farhan and Haris are better than Babar and Rizwan.

Valid point but you're replacing mediocre cricketers with slightly less mediocre cricketers. The team still will be poor. Your argument is we are losing because Babar and Rizwan are left out which is not the case at all.

 

[sweep_shot]

UAE's formula today --> slow ball + big ground = wicket.

Slow deliveries have given them great success today.

 

[Ali Active]

Exactly ...this is a slow pitch... But our bouys are getting emotional

yes pak going little too hard instead find gaps on such pitches all about intent but u need to see conditions pitch boundary everything in mind not just blind slogging all the time

 

[zahid01]

But why ?

Off field antics and the phainty they got of India is this not enough to demoralise our mentally weak players

 

[Greenstorm]

What happened to Dubai wicket ? Pakistan chased 180+ for fun against India few years ago here.

 

[Asad T]

this is just brainless, what the hell are coaches doing there. Absolute no planning or guidance.

I don't think the issue is with the coaching. Just our players are not coachable

 

[sweep_shot]

Haris, Shaheen, and Rauf - they all can hit.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

They are playing UAE like some SENA team, surely they can't be this bad that was a nothing shot by him.

Hard to make sense of a performance like this. That's all I'll say

 

[heddie19]

Pakistani fans fully deserve this humiliation.

I still want them smh to win this match so that they can get fully exposed against SL, Bang/Afg and India again.

 

[hur rizvi]

Fakhar has played over 100 T20 games and has worst stats than Babar and Rizwan

T20 is not fakhars best format but he's still good enough and should be the only one surviving from coming surgery

 

[imshally81]

Good running

 

[Nikhil_cric]

It's September in Dubai. It's very humid. I don't think there will be any dew till this match is going on.

UAE captain said he expects dew. But it's not just the dew. I think wicket just plays more consistently at night here in Dubai.

 

[saabir]

This pitch is too slow. Uae batters will not score more than 70.

No they are better side . They can make this match very interesting. They beat Bangladesh back to back chasing 180 and 200

 

[Mamoon]

Valid point but you're replacing mediocre cricketers with slightly less mediocre cricketers. The team still will be poor. Your argument is we are losing because Babar and Rizwan are left out which is not the case at all.

My argument is that this whole new era and new template implemented by Agha and Hesson is a load of hogwash. Pakistan batting has not evolved an inch.

 

[J-Essence]

I'm amazed at the young crowd here how excited they get to get to winning score. This should not be a contest.

 

[Ummii]

Okay let’s get to the real question, who will be the next captain of this pathetic team: Babar or Rizwan?

 

[heddie19]

Haris, Shaheen, and Rauf - they all can hit.

How many sixes have we hit today?
