Sofdil shah

 

[Bilal_103]

Nawaz is not t20 material

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

40 runs are needed from 26 balls.

Very doable if Babar had stayed in. Needs a proper batsman at the crease I feel.

 

[Hasan123]

Please Faheem win this game. And prove me wrong about you.

Iftikhar and Faheem's bowling ain't that bad. Nawaz does okay job with the ball at least. Between Khushdil Shah and Hussain Talat it is really difficult. I'll let you choose for me.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Seriously tho these are the guys keeping Shoaib Malik out? They can't play spin if their life depended on it

I have said it yesterday

For the World T20 Hafeez, Malik and Haris will be back.

Misbah will cite experience as the reason for them getting picked one last time. In reality it will be that there is no other option out there.

Please no haris.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Lol Saffers had an over saved for Fortun. This is gonna make or break the chase.

After seeing alternatives you can't blame him, can you?

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Please no haris.

They will panic and pick the most experienced out there.

 

[sweep_shot]

37 runs are needed from 4 overs.

Relax bhai. Its only T20 series. Hassan ali to win it.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Does Nawaz know what boundaries are?

 

[Bilal_103]

Nawaz is not a t20 player

 

[Darkness]

Btw why not give hasnain a chance in home t20s atleast

This clown Misbah needs a proper phainta to his gherat for making us a laughing stock once again in Limited Overs cricket. Hopeless loser. There is no one in our team, besides Babar and Shaheen, with an established role in the side. How on earth can any team function with that mindset.

 

[uberkoen]

They want him to sweep

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

After seeing alternatives you can't blame him, can you?

Indeed and the WT20 is big occasion and you don't want to be humiliated there.

 

[uberkoen]

Nawaz is not a t20 player

Didn’t he bowl an amazing spell earlier?

Bata ki Softie award of the year candidates:

Khushdil Shah
Mohammad Nawaz
Talat Hussain
Iftikhar Ahmed
Faheem Ahsraf's bowling

Faheem's bowling doesn't deserve to be on that list. He's an okay bowler - not his fault the captain has no idea how to use him

 

[Deewana Mastana]

6 Nawaz

 

[Yk313]

YK, arguably PAK's best/second best player of spin, is the batting coach.

Not one of PAK's talented youngsters has looked like being able to even get bat on ball against even remotely decent spin. Not asking for them to deposit Shamsi into the depths of Ravi but being able to milk the spinner for singles with conviction would be a good start.

Even PAK's established name has been exposed for his lack of prowess against spin and there is nowhere to hide.

There will be a very sobering "summoning" of YK in front of the CC this time.

And nothing will come of it.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Does Nawaz know what boundaries are?

He is a legside hack. Can only hit certain types of deliveries.

 

[Hasan123]

Great shot.

I don't know about Haris.

But fact of the matter is that packing the middle order with Khushdil, Talat, Asif Ali is a recipe for a first round exit.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

He is a legside hack. Can only hit certain types of deliveries.

Like I said the SA gifted him that delivery.

 

[Justcrazy]

35 from 21 balls , its a matter of time when Faheem will explode here

 

[MHN1293]

Didn’t he bowl an amazing spell earlier?

And hits a six now.

 

[B_Positive]

Now you know why pak were favourites in win predictor..

 

[uberkoen]

35 from 21 balls , its a matter of time when Faheem will explode here

Hell yeah bro

 

[imshally81]

Out

 

[Rana]

Nawaz slowly moving out of contention for the bata ki softie award

Faheem might slip in instead

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

This clown Misbah needs a proper phainta to his gherat for making us a laughing stock once again in Limited Overs cricket. Hopeless loser. There is no one in our team, besides Babar and Shaheen, with an established role in the side. How on earth can any team function with that mindset.

He is clueless and tries something new every other series.

In the end he will make it easy for himself and pick the most experienced available with a proven track record.

 

[uberkoen]

35 from 21 balls , its a matter of time when Faheem will explode here

Okay now what?

 

[ARK Rafay]

Chukki jao, te chalde jao.

 

[Hasan123]

Klassen took a risk and it paid off.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Brainless cricket. Didn’t need to take more risks in the over

 

[MHN1293]

That's the game.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan bat deep , Pakistan can chase this down easily from here , its a matter of few sixes.

 

[castortroy]

Typical midget mental shot

These guys must be the weakest mentally in world cricket

 

[coy0607]

Btw why not give hasnain a chance in home t20s atleast

He's been the best T20 fast bowler for Pakistan in the last year. But with Misbah older players alway win

 

[Zeshan547]

why oh why rana g, last ball of spin, man my four year old must have more iq than these clowns.

 

[shamaan]

Another poor shot

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

I don't know about Haris.

But fact of the matter is that packing the middle order with Khushdil, Talat, Asif Ali is a recipe for a first round exit.

Indeed. We are in serious trouble considering the current lot.

Misbah will bring back Sharjeel, Haris, Hafeez, Malik one series before the World T20.

 

[Green Patriot]

28 off 18 is still doable. They need to keep a clear head.

 

[Hasan123]

Hasan Ali should look to get bouandires. Dragging this on is just increasing the pressure.

 

[B_Positive]

Miller is probably only player in this team who plays IPL. And we are finding it difficult against this team..

 

[shamaan]

come on sir hassan ali

 

[Justcrazy]

Nawaz needs to bat through here. In last over if 10 runs required , it will be easy.

 

[imshally81]

Wide finally

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Can my prediction be right Hassan ali to win it.

 

[uberkoen]

Miller is probably only player in this team who plays IPL. And we are finding it difficult against this team..

IPL is our new measure now?

 

[uberkoen]

Wide finally

That was the wrong call

 

[Savak]

Faheem Ashraf is wasted down the order, he needs to play a decent amount of deliveries before he can start playing his shots. He is no Lance Klusenar where he can hit from ball one

 

[Hasan123]

Hasan Ali is the last hope. He has a good bat swing.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Think Nawaz has to step up here as the designated all rounder.

 

[MHN1293]

Proper test match cricket. Good leave by Hasan.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Aar ya paar time

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

This is slipping away. Need a boundary in this over.

 

[Ahmed216]

IPL is our new measure now?

This team would fail to qualify for IPL playoffs

 

[shariqnoor]

This loss, if it will be, will be completely on Babar Azam.

 

[imshally81]

Lucky boundary

 

[Firebat]

Just a couple boundaries and we're in the game. So close yet so far

 

[uberkoen]

This team would fail to qualify for IPL playoffs

Or so you think

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

IPL is our new measure now?

Only the best T20 players get selected in IPL. I think that was his point.

 

[Justcrazy]

Four

That is it , beautiful shot

 

[uberkoen]

Just a couple boundaries and we're in the game. So close yet so far

That’s one bro!

 

[imshally81]

Should be wide

 

[MHN1293]

20 off 2 overs. 12 of the last. 4 required if the last delivery and Nawaz wins pak the match.

 

[uberkoen]

Only the best T20 players get selected in IPL. I think that was his point.

He’s wrong

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Nawaz's immediate future depends on this innings lol.

 

[imshally81]

Yes boundary to finish the over. . .

 

[Firebat]

That’s one bro!

That's two! Okay now just 4 more and the series is ours

 

[ARK Rafay]

Nawaz slowly moving out of contention for the bata ki softie award

Faheem might slip in instead

Looks like the contender might win Pakistan the match tonight

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Come on Nawaz, down to you now. Still in it....just.

 

[Zeshan547]

This loss, if it will be, will be completely on Babar Azam.

You saw how much that ball came in, mtlb khuch b,

 

[JaDed]

Lol that boundary killed it for Saffers, well done to Nawaz, seeing him play first time

 

[Justcrazy]

16 runs required of 12 balls !!

two beautiful boundaries here

 

[Hasan123]

Nawaz did well there.
