[Markhor]

Pakistan chasing.

Let the heart attacks begin. Hope that 17 run over doesn't prove costly.

 

[Major]

This is a batting wicket. WHat SHaheen pulled off was magnificient. Not a pacers wicket yet he pulled out the wickets. Bad bolwing by Hasan Ali

152 is chaseable.

Many fans are whining about the score not being chaseable, but what did you expect? India to bottle for 120? Was not gonna happen, we restricted them to a good score. Now its time for our batsmen to shine

 

[Nasty Naz]

The bowlers did their job. A respectable total for Pakistan to chase down and it is doable.

Will likely depend on how deep Babar & Rizwan are able to bat.

 

[ekpakistani]

Requires sensible approach. If we can't chase 152 in T20 then we don't deserve to win the match. Simple.

 

[IMMY69]

Looks a brilliant wicket to bat on.

No real score board pressure.
Should stroll this if we just bat sensibly

 

[Fazzy321]

India's game to lose here

 

[Major]

Something tells me Asif ALi is gonna matter here alot. It will come down to him i believe

 

[Cric_lover4487]

If India doesn't pick 3 wickets in powerplay, Pak will chase this in 16 overs.

 

[Lego20]

India are 25 runs short of a par total. The team selection has been poor. Pant at 5, Hardik at 6 and Bhuvi at 7 is a joke. Seeing Rahul and Rohit at 1 and 2 is very volatile and unreliable with both equally capable of lose throwaway shots.

It seems Pakistan has come well prepared with a clear game plan at least as far as bowling is concerned.

 

[desi_launda]

Decent recovery but 15 runs short....need early wickets or Pakistan can tuk-tuk to victory

 

[m.shah]

20 runs too many for Pakistan

 

[Thanos]

Perfectly setup for Babar and Rizwan.
Score 40 ball 50 and end the curse

 

[jattafridi]

Pitch is difficult

Pressure pressure only hope Babar

 

[Devadwal]

this is a total which will require a good bowling effort from India. Need Some early wickets otherwise match is already gone

 

[YousafTheBeast]

We bat till 9, no pressure

 

[Kroll]

So will dew be a big factor?

 

[Major]

swinginggg

 

[ARK Rafay]

I think this is a 140 pitch

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Good chance to break the streak but all about can we handle the pressure?

 

[Major]

good batting rizwann

 

[Charmander]

gave up too many runs after such a brilliant start. pakistan will lose

 

[gani999]

India does not have sufficient on the board. They need quick wickets if they are to win.

 

[PakFan2010]

I can see Pak winning this by 10 wickets

 

[Major]

Rizwannnnn

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Allahu Akbar

 

[Abdurmirr]

Rizwannnnn

 

[Major]

LOOK atht the confidence in this guy

 

[shamaan]

What a shot

 

[world cup captain]

[MENTION=2016]Rana[/MENTION] je, please come on.

 

[Shafi]

150 is way too much for us. India should be in at least by 35-40 runs.

 

[sweep_shot]

What a start from Rizwan!

 

[Gullycricket]

Lv u rizzuu

 

[Major]

good start by Pakistan

 

[gani999]

Bhuvaneswar Bhaiyya should consider heading back to his bungalow in Rae Bareilly and chewing paan for the rest of his life. He is no longer the cricketer he once was.

 

[oatmeal]

Pakistan to win it with 2 overs to spare. Anything below 170 was not competitive

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Good start by Pakistan

 

[Kaddy]

Don't lose any wickets boyzz

 

[saeedhk]

I do not see Pakistan winning this! We are the worst chasers!

 

[Rana]

[MENTION=2016]Rana[/MENTION] je, please come on.

I have a big party going on at my house

Enjoy boys

 

[OldWarHorse]

Easy chase upcoming for Pak

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan should show aggressive approach. A few big overs can lower that RRR significantly.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

I have a big party going on at my house

Enjoy boys

We want you here right now

 

[Major]

babar off the strike

 

[world cup captain]

I have a big party going on at my house

Enjoy boys

Enjoy mate. The streak ends tonight!

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need one of the openers to bat through till 14 - 15 overs here and others play cameos around him , without wasting balls.

 

[Bewal Express]

It will show if our batting has the cajones to bat under pressure. Our bowlers have done their job. Riz needs to go hard Babar needs to bat like Kohli.

 

[Rana]

Rizwan keep going my boy

 

[Gullycricket]

Kohli is losing it. Never seen dhoni like it

 

[Major]

Rizwan very active

 

[Saj]

Rizwan looking like a man on a mission today.

Very good so far.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

This is Pakistan's match to lose now and they can only lose this with their stupidity.

 

[Major]

Rizwan keep going my boy

who are you, you are not rana

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Can’t see us losing this even if we lose 2-3 wickets in PP. Imad, Hassan and Shadab will take us through.

 

[Major]

A babar Azam special

 

[Justcrazy]

Four

So far Pakistan has looked positive in approach here

 

[sweep_shot]

Rizwan is looking very positive out there. Running quickly.

 

[MP2011]

Team selection has been really poor today.

 

[Gullycricket]

Never saw such good running up front against India before

 

[Gullycricket]

Wow

 

[Rajdeep]

We started with a defeat in last TW0 WC as well right?

 

[Major]

Here comes the much talked Bumrah

 

[MP2011]

Bumrah on.

 

[gani999]

Three bowling changes in the first five. Desperation by Kohli here.

 

[MP2011]

Here comes the much talked Bumrah

Just talked Bumrah? He isn't good?

Well done.

 

[Major]

just keep the running between the wicekts good

 

[Major]

Just talked Bumrah? He isn't good?

Well done.

when did i say he isnt good?

 

[world cup captain]

No need to be rash and get a runout. See off Bumrah and target Bhuvi.

 

[Major]

Running between needs to be good

 

[PakistanMeriJaan]

Bumrah bowling is so accurate it’s almost scary

 

[MP2011]

Top over as usual from Bumrah.

 

[Gullycricket]

Easy easy no rushing

 

[Charmander]

only pakistan can beat themselves now. stay focused

 

[Justcrazy]

Bumrah spell will be important here

 

[Major]

What is Kohli up to? 4th bolwing change now

 

[PakistanMeriJaan]

Can’t wait to see bumrah vs fakhar

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan - 22/0 after 3 overs.

Good over from Bumrah.

 

[Ummii]

Major collapse coming

 

[MenInG]

 

[sweep_shot]

A bit surprised that India are playing 3 pacers here.
