[imshally81]

50 for Babar

 

[Nasty Naz]

What are these singles... start going hard at this rubbish bowler.

 

[Amjid Javed]

need a few boundaries now.

 

[Rana]

Pakistan taking this too deep

 

[iRfaN_LA]

too much pressure. Need 2 boundaries from somewhere. Rashid's next over is key.

 

[Inswing]

FOUR. Shaabaaa malik

 

[imshally81]

What a shot

 

[uzairmanzoor13]

This is going down to wire!

 

[silentkiller187]

Shotttt malik

 

[oatmeal]

A boundary from Malik. This was needed

 

[Nasty Naz]

Good shot Malik. Completely threw off the bowler by moving around in the crease.

 

[Inswing]

Just need one good over of 15 runs.

 

[Shafi]

Our batsmen cannot even play Navin/Janat. We will be run out of balls

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Shoaib again showing the ice cold temperament where others start shaking.

 

[RexRex]

A bit of brilliance there from Shoaib Malik.

 

[Kianig89]

39 from 24

 

[Amjid Javed]

38 from 24, 1 really big over needed at least.

 

[Kianig89]

Will be tough with 6 Rashid deliveries

 

[TeamPak95]

Our batsmen cannot even play Navin/Janat. We will be run out of balls

Put down the hate-orade and show a bit more support.

 

[sharmaji]

Pak has to manage Rashid's over without losing a wicket.

 

[silentkiller187]

Get 10 of this over don’t be cautious plenty of batsmen in the tank one needs to go here

 

[Kianig89]

Win or lose AFG competed better Than India

 

[imshally81]

666

 

[Inswing]

Maaaaaliiiikkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk SIXXXXXXXXX

 

[Kroll]

Man, this is too close for comfort.

 

[silentkiller187]

That’s ittt malikkk

 

[Kianig89]

Shoaib Freidel well done

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Malik oye shera.....

 

[Nasty Naz]

OMG Malik. What a shot.

 

[Major]

Paksitan game to win.

Afghanistan should not have used Rashid here. He should had been used in 19th or 20th over. Even if Rashid got a wicket here. There was no pooint, you need to recude the runs in the end.

ANd Malik hits a six to him nice.

 

[Kianig89]

Malik getting too excited

 

[Major]

They should block this over, not go after Rashid , damnn malikk

 

[cric_man]

Malik earning his pay
Shabaash!

 

[silentkiller187]

Good start to over get 1 more boundary

 

[Inswing]

Just see off these 2 balls please.

 

[Kianig89]

Dropped

 

[imshally81]

Now wide... Rashid in under pressure

Dropped too

 

[silentkiller187]

This is what happens when you play aggressive to rashid rather than on the back foot.. droppedd

 

[Inswing]

Babaaaar kya kar rhai bhai khayal krly

 

[Nasty Naz]

10 runs off this over already. 3 balls left

 

[Major]

Why are they attacking Rashid Khan. Babar should be thankful

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

How did he drop that?

 

[Smbhayi]

Nice strategy by that fielder..

 

[imshally81]

Out

Babar gone

 

[Inswing]

WTHHHHHHH Babar you shouldn't have done this whyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[silentkiller187]

Silly of the last ball

 

[Amjid Javed]

Naveed may have just dropped the match.

 

[Adijazz1706]

That was awful from Babar, rush of blood

 

[Kianig89]

Unprofessional stuff from BBar

 

[ARK Rafay]

Brain fade by Babar Azam. It seems like he wanted to hit out Rashid Khan to prove something

 

[IcedCoffee]

Brainless batting by Babar. WHYYYYYYY. It's literally one ball left.

 

[Inswing]

That was a massive brainfade by babar.

 

[Major]

What a fool.

Why was Babar throwing his wicket?

I think it was preplanned to get Asif Ali in. So he wanted to take the risk, cause Asif Ali can finish it here so not bad for us

 

[Saj]

Crazy shot by Babar.

Absolutely no need to play that shot.

 

[TeamPak95]

Babar why...

 

[Ozeirk]

Why Babar, what a brain ****

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Babar never looked in control against Rashid. Pathetic end when he should have been seeing this home.

 

[Smbhayi]

Poor from Rashid, shouldn't have taken his wicket

 

[Anwar_194]

What a stupid shot from Babar

 

[Kianig89]

Babar just took us back to Misbah' regime waddy

 

[Inswing]

Anyways, nabi rashid and mujeeb have bowled all 12 overs.

 

[Ab Fan]

The most comical act of batsmanship after already getting 12 runs of final over of the best bowler.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Babar looked clueless all inns vs spin.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Babar well played boy

 

[mrtaim3]

Babar has played really poorly today. Not picking the googlies at all. I hope he sees this inning again and work on his game.

 

[Inswing]

Asif needs to repeat the NZL match now.

 

[Yati]

That was dumb from Babar.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Horrible shot by Babar, just wanted to show dominance towards the end I guess.

 

[Major]

Not a big loss to be honest, they had to get asif ali in here because it has been bit difficult to hit these pacers. Asif Ali to finish it

 

[silentkiller187]

Silly shot but babar done his job now over tore finishers

 

[mosh101]

What a poor shot last ball from Babat

 

[Kianig89]

25 from 17

 

[Smbhayi]

Naveed may have just dropped the match.

He saved, but Rashid dropped the match

 

[Bull]

It was kind of poor innings by babar.

 

[castortroy]

Babar clueless against Khan

 

[Amjid Javed]

26 off 18. Cool heads needed here.

 

[RexRex]

Asif Ali is only 30 ? Not falling for that.

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

Really mediocre innings from Babar but a mediocre innings from him is still decent and required to anchor.

 

[Kianig89]

Play sensibly

 

[TeamPak95]

I hope Babar is livid with himself. He's much, much better than this. Anyways, take us home Asif, Malik.
