Pakistan (168/8) defeat Australia (146/8) by 22 runs in the opener of T20I series at Lahore

[adi_62941]

Saim has no bat sticker means no sponsors. Interesteing

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

who will score 50 off 20 Balls in powe play? 60 in 6 is outdated now. Top 4 are now scoring 80-90 in 6

 

[khyberlion]

Babar has smashed Cummins and co but whatever helps you sleep at night

You can sleep well at night after babar 9 off 10 balls.

 

[Rana]

Once powerplay is done..

Babar will have to face Zampa 4 overs lol

 

[Sunny_majoka]

this team is ok, only if they replace babar with nafay

 

[mango_bite77]

Agha trying hard, little unlucky to find fielders

 

[Devadwal]

Back Pakistan.

 

[Rana]

Saim has no bat sticker means no sponsors. Interesteing

Looking for big sponsor

Don’t understand why GM would drop him

 

[mango_bite77]

this team is ok, only if they replace babar with nafay

UK also need to he removed

 

[BouncerGuy]

salman is all dots or boundry... nothing within..

Same like Farhan

 

[Rana]

Salman just showing why he’s a better T20 batter than both Babar and Rizwan

He can do whatever those two frauds can do in the powerplay if not better

 

[RidiculousMan]

Agha been too predictable with his shot selection. Needed to open the offside against Conolly. Absolutely criminal to let him be 0-13 in 2 overs in the powerplay. This pitch looks a belter so far

 

[Devadwal]

this team is ok, only if they replace babar with nafay

Middle order is not explosive apart from Fakhar who is also hit and miss.

What is Babar doing at 4. He can't bat Below top 3 . Either Play in top 3 or dropp him from the playing 11.

 

[mango_bite77]

50 in Pp time is gone, teams are scoring over 60.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

50 in Pp time is gone, teams are scoring over 60.

over 80.. even 60 is outdated

 

[mango_bite77]

Saim with no look 6

 

[NeVerMind]

3 sixes in 3 overs

Very good stuff Pakistan

At least the painful era of no sixes in the powerplay under RizBar has ended...

 

[adi_62941]

Interesting to see babar and fakhar batting role without powerplay

 

[Sunny_majoka]

UK also need to he removed

i agree, however, no better option available.

 

[Rana]

Fakhar
Usman
Faheem
Shadab
Nawaz

Not a bad line up going into the back end

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

too many dots in pp

 

[mango_bite77]

over 80.. even 60 is outdated

India is exception, they score around 100

 

[Rana]

At least the painful era of no sixes in the powerplay under RizBar has ended...

Yeah for them it was more important to rotate strike Ben Stokes!

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Wow Pakistan doing very well after losing a wicket so quick

 

[RidiculousMan]

If Babar came at 3 today. I'm 100% sure Pakistan would've been at 35 runs mark.

 

[adi_62941]

real test begins after 6 overs

 

[Ali Active]

Yeah for them it was more important to rotate strike Ben Stokes!

Atleast pak cricket is watchable under these players

 

[RidiculousMan]

Keep an eye on run rate before, during and after Babar bats. That will tell you the story.

 

[mango_bite77]

Agha with too many dots.

 

[Rana]

Too many dots Agha

 

[Ali Active]

babar should not get special treatment now he has gotten that for far way more time than he should have been

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

India is exception, they score around 100

Even NZ scored 80 yesterday. and if Travis head explodes at top , Aus can also do that. Eng with phil Salt also Capable of such scoring rate

 

[Dr_Bassim]

There is no role of Babar in the T20s.

The only one time he might be useful is once every 15 games if Pakistan lose 3 for 20.

But T20s are not meant to have people stick around for 15 games on the off chance that Pakistan top order has a bad game.

Anyone who can't see that Babar is a complete liability in T20 needs to stop watching cricket and start playing Go Fish.

 

[Devadwal]

So Agha scored 22(19)* in PP. @Rana

He is self appointed anchor in team , a role no body gave him

 

[RidiculousMan]

Agha at 3 is the magic portion for Pakistan in WT20 because of spin conditions.

 

[mango_bite77]

More than his fans, he needs to realise it. Should focus on ODIs and Test, but is too selfish to do that.

They left Hasan Nawaz at 4 to accommodate Babar. The travesty here in unparalleled

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Big Six

 

[saimayubera]

No Nathan Ellis, Tim David, Josh Hazlewood.

lolololol

 

[Ali Active]

Hassan nawaz should replace usman khan and babar should be replaced by nafay

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Agha at 3 is the magic portion for Pakistan in WT20 because of spin conditions.

He has 3 Sixes in first Game against Aus. Babar scored 3 sixes in his entire BBL Run

 

[Kianig89]

What is Agha trying to do

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Agha has found his form, so has SKY

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

No Nathan Ellis, Tim David, Josh Hazlewood.

lolololol

dnt want to shake hands but watching game of Dushman desh?

 

[mango_bite77]

So Agha scored 22(19)* in PP. @Rana

Couple of shots were timed well but straight to fielder. He is looking good in terms of timing the ball.

No coach of Pakistan has the spine to drop Babar

 

[NeVerMind]

Should be playing with the same mindset that he did against Sri Lanka when they were chasing 150 odd in 10 overs...

 

[Devadwal]

Australia is missing Marsh, maxwell, Inglis, stoinis, Hazelwood, Cummins

Total six players who will Play in starting playing 11.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

just tuned in, good start by pak after Farhan Sahab's early wicket... R R is nearly 10- good going

 

[RidiculousMan]

Saim missed his 50. That was there to hit too.

Time for Babar to carry the momentum.

 

[mango_bite77]

Saim gone

 

[BouncerGuy]

Saim gone.... Bro was playing fine

 

[Rana]

Decent innings by Saim

 

[BouncerGuy]

Decent innings by Saim

more than decent...

 

[saimayubera]

dnt want to shake hands but watching game of Dushman desh?

you do realize that you can see scorecard on the net.

no one is broadcasting this series here.

 

[Ali Active]

what is babar gonna do tuk tuk

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Shamless crowd, they deserve a mediocre player like Babar

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Beardman is an injury just waiting to happen imo.

 

[Rana]

Here comes the Zimbu

 

[BouncerGuy]

you do realize that you can see scorecard on the net.

no one is broadcasting this series here.

are you that interested in Pakistan that you are watching the scorecard because live is no available. ???

 

[Ali Active]

comes tuks a ball

 

[RidiculousMan]

Why does Bobby play defense shot every time against the spinner first ball?

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Cringe Fans Shouting Babar Babar as if he is gonna smash 25 ball 50

 

[Devadwal]

Couple of shots were timed well but straight to fielder. He is looking good in terms of timing the ball.

Now Babar and salman are batting together, this will be fun.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

you do realize that you can see scorecard on the net.

no one is broadcasting this series here.

Same thing

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Is Babar going to actually play aggressively?

 

[RidiculousMan]

Cringe Fans Shouting Babar Babar as if he is gonna smash 25 ball 50

He better hit these new Australian kids like he hit Shaheen in the practice game

 

[Sunny_majoka]

lol, watch the conditions turn bowling friendly

 

[saimayubera]

are you that interested in Pakistan that you are watching the scorecard because live is no available. ???

checking up on australia.

they are the ones who are decent contenders especially once hazlewood, ellis and david are in.

 

[Slim]

Solid powerplay and good batting from both Agha Jani and Saim no look. Saim was playing much brave today. Didnt see the fear i saw he was playing with against Sri Lanka. Unlucky out for Farhan. is here tho.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Now Babar and salman are batting together, this will be fun.

Salman has hit quite a few boundaries.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Has Babar gained weight?

He looks fatso.

 

[BouncerGuy]

That was beautiful... he like that Shot Salman....6

 

[Slim]

Cringe Fans Shouting Babar Babar as if he is gonna smash 25 ball 50

I absolutely hate it.

What a shot by Agha Jani, smashing 6.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Agha is actually a decent middle-order batter for a team like Pakistan

 

[Omer2002]

This is a 240 wicket i think and they are batting first with abrar and shadab as spinners. Lack somuch firepower they are experimenting with fakhar and usman khan as hitters..which is mind bongling.

Nothing against Agha but if he can score like this imagine what aussies can do with head and short etc especially this is their B team

 

[RidiculousMan]

Outrageous shot from Salman!

 

[Slim]

Has Babar gained weight?

He looks fatso.

Hes many things, unfit is one of them.

ok but you did nt need to bring yourself here for that lol
