[oatmeal]

Asfi Brathwaite

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Amazing stuff.

That's why he didn't take that single!

 

[ARK Rafay]

Man of the match: Asif Ali

 

[silentkiller187]

Where’s that thread gone that said asif ali is better than jos butler

 

[Nasty Naz]

Omg asif. What an over. What a win

 

[Yati]

Asif Ali for President.

 

[daytrader]

Jeeyo Asif

 

[Aman]

4 sixes.

Great knock.

 

[Adijazz1706]

That was ridiculous fun, Pakistan have chased 3 in a row with 2.1 overs, 1.2 overs and now 1 over to spare )

 

[Devadwal]

So Pakistan qualify for semifinals

 

[IMMY69]

Lucky win for us.

Lucky win?

Everyone was hyping up their spinners (rightly so)...
But this wasn't lucky

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Brilliant from Asif.

 

[Inswing]

Finished the game in this over only waaaahhhhhh

 

[Smbhayi]

Amazing stuff.

That's why he didn't take that single!

I did say he will finishbit in this over.

 

[world cup captain]

Oh geez, this was amazing hitting from Asif Ali. He's really playing to his potential.

 

[kingusama92]

That's a whooping from Asif.

 

[Smbhayi]

Asif Ali saying I'll finish it next over..

 

[sharmaji]

Asif Ali, you beauty!!!

Congratulations Pak fans!

 

[sindhiboy]

Asif has turned into butler. From zero to hero

 

[Ozeirk]

Michael Vaughan are you watching

Lol yes, he is watching Pakistan pound the afghanis

 

[Smbhayi]

Anyway it was a poor over from bowler, he missed two fuller deliveries and yet bowler feeds him pitched up deliveries..

 

[Amjid Javed]

Well done Asif again.

 

[TeamPak95]

Lolllll Asif 4 sixes to win the game Viv who???

 

[Savak]

Have not seen a better striker of the full pitched, length ball in Pakistan Cricket History after Abdul Razzaq.

 

[IcedCoffee]

I did say he will finishbit in this over.

No, you didn't. You said that Asif said so when he denied that single.

 

[Saurav]

Asif Ali is in great touch

Commiserations to Afghanistan,great effort but you just don't have pacers

 

[Smbhayi]

That was ridiculous fun, Pakistan have chased 3 in a row with 2.1 overs, 1.2 overs and now 1 over to spare )

By the time they reach final there wont be any ball left to chase..

 

[TeamPak95]

So Haris Rauf and Asif Ali bag MoMs in this tournament. Humble pies being thrown all over the place

 

[NeVerMind]

Pakistan are the most exciting team in the world!

 

[Major]

Told u thats why he not taking singel cause of other end.

 

[Double Trouble]

Wow Asif Ali you gem

Personally PK bowlers gave 20 runs too many to bring AFG back into the game

 

[FreakCricket]

Thank Good Lord otherwise these Afghani supporters are vulgar and rude

 

[Abdurmirr]

Brilliant from Asif and a good win.

However I hope the management don't forget how poor we were with the ball all throughout the first innings.

Shaheen went overboard with his pace and aggression upfront - should have looked to keep it simple just like against NZ and ind, Rauf had a poor day but I think he'll come back, Hafeez and Malik should have been given a few overs and Hassan Ali, the less I say the better.

Would be worth giving a go to Wasim in the next two games just to see whether he can offer something better

 

[ARK Rafay]

Biggest shut up call given by a Pakistani cricketer ever. I submit.

I'm sorry Asif Ali. I doubted you

 

[sam_ahm]

Congrats again folks! This is sensational stuff.

 

[FollowThru]

By the time they reach final there wont be any ball left to chase..

Never mind. Pak will defend with 2 overs left.

 

[NeVerMind]

Why can Afghani players speak English and ours can't?

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Why can Afghani players speak English and ours can't?

Language Doesn't matter and we don't need to learn English

 

[silentkiller187]

Dean Jones always said asif ali was something special…

 

[Abdurmirr]

What's Bazid on about, our bowling was pretty ordinary especially at the end

 

[sharmaji]

I miss Ramiz's enthusiasm in post-match presentation ceremonies. He would have gone bonkers tonight after Asif's innings. Bazid is not very impressive when it comes to showing enthusiasm and excitement.

 

[Saurav]

congrats Pak fans on reaching the semis

 

[Savak]

Is it now more or less guaranteed Pakistan will qualify for the Semi's? Surely we cannot lose our final two games to Namibia and Scotland?

 

[azzammasood]

Hopefully out of his pre-2021 depression (2019-2020)

 

[Alter_Ego]

Because they can't speak Urdu

 

[NeVerMind]

Language Doesn't matter and we don't need to learn English

All the expert opinions are expressed in English...just watch a Nas-Athers special on Sky Sports...plus we hiring foreign coaches...English is a must!

 

[azzammasood]

The tournament's fixed for Pakistan to meet India again in the finals so as to have not one but two billions-inducing matches and also for India to win in the final

 

[NeVerMind]

Because they can't speak Urdu

Nabi learnt his cricket in Karachi...he can speak Urdu as can Rash

[Wasee]

Pakistanis and their trolling

 

[Sycamore]

Asif ali to malik " Malik bhai even if its 24 runs off one over we can do it off the shorter end" Loving the confidence from Asif

 

[Logic]

What a thrilling finish.
Thanks a lot Sir Asif Ali
Allah nazar-e-bad say bachaye

 

[Devadwal]

Pakistan is qualified for Semi-finals,

Bangladesh is out of the tournament,

And Team India is yet to play their 2nd match ,wrost scheduling

 

[ARK Rafay]

Asif bradman butler Ali needs to play it cool here plenty of balls left
