should have open with nawaaz

 

[nextover666666]

Lets hope Pakistan can defend, this, Just tuned in now was watching Pakistan Japan hockey match before. However Pakistan i feel do not have enough runs on the board on this pitch, regardless should be a good chase

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Its just beyond imagination sometimes this playing winning combination formula. You have perfect opportunity to play Dhani against this weak WI side, but what are we doing?

 

[PakPremi]

This WI team is actually not that weak, especially due to absence/retirement of non performing seniors like Pollard, Gayle and Russell. This team is showing more fight and learning fast.

 

[nextover666666]

Exactly, in fact they should have tested a lot of new players for this series, i rather we lose 3-0 in the series but we give chance to young guys, than win 3-0 with the same team. I feel even if Pak lose this match they will make 1 change at maximum

 

[PakPremi]

Wasim is becoming Golden Arm for Pakistan

 

[Omer2002]

Windies were previous world champions...had an awful world cup they are well built beast of players

 

[Omer2002]

Just seen wasim standing next to shaheen i dont think he has a bad height either

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Mohammed Wasim I am becoming a fan of his bowling especially his bowling action and that quick arm action like Wasim Akram had. This kid has a great potential could be a winning bowler in Australia.

 

[Omer2002]

Nice start by windies with all the batting to come..nawaz never spun the ball like akeel did so we cud be in big trouble

 

[Omer2002]

Should have reviewed that

 

[Omer2002]

Very poor bowlinh by shaheen so far lines are awful

 

[Rana]

Bumrah has played tape ball?

 

[nextover666666]

Ideally Pak needs to get 2 wickets in the next 4 overs if possible if not, i think its game set and match for windies.

 

[PakPremi]

Solid platform for WI, they have some good hitters in lower end, but hopefully Pak will continue making in roads to pin them down.

 

[shariqnoor]

Pakistan needs wickets soon otherwise WI will win this handsomely. They are setting it up for their power hitters.

 

[ha5is12]

Pakistan 100% winning this game

 

[shah_1]

Why is ifthikar not bowling? He has improved a lot

 

[nextover666666]

Windies are in the drivers seat, however a wicket or 2 can change that. I will still say winides are favorites from here.

 

[imshally81]

Out

 

[shah_1]

Haris Rauf is the best fielder in Pakistan

 

[nextover666666]

well seems like a wicket has fallen if we can get another one in the next over can make things interesting.

 

[badsha001]

Why is ifthikar not bowling? He has improved a lot

that will be counter productive to leeches like Hafeez and Malik if Iftikhar is given a chance to show his skills in bowling as well.

 

[Rana]

Rauf is such a gun in the field!

 

[Rana]

Most improved bowler

Most improved fielder

He also licks a few sixes against pacers with the bat in PSL!

 

[shah_1]

Haris Rauf is the best fielder in Pakistan

Again showing

 

[shah_1]

Imad is a better bowler but Nawaz is a better batsman

 

[PakPremi]

Haris Rauf is the best fielder in Pakistan

Not even close Shadab is a lot better then Fakhar and then perhaps the new improved Rauf. Nawaz and Babar are not bad either.

 

[Omer2002]

Imad is a darter he is good because they try to hit him and he gets wicket as nawaz is a proper spinner

 

[shah_1]

Not even close Shadab is a lot better then Fakhar and then perhaps the new improved Rauf. Nawaz and Babar are not bad either.

For me Haris is better

 

[PakPremi]

Will King conquer for WI or will he get defeated. I think the later.

 

[ha5is12]

Nawaz is a better bowler and batter

 

[imshally81]

Out
Wasim Strikes

 

[shah_1]

There is no dew

 

[PakPremi]

Wasim's golden arm continues to produces riches for Pakistan.

 

[Omer2002]

I am v surprised so many lefties and babar didnt bowl himself or ifti for atkeast one over

 

[nextover666666]

65 needed off 31 balls with 6 wickets in hand

 

[nextover666666]

I am v surprised so many lefties and babar didnt bowl himself or ifti for atkeast one over

I was hoping Babar would bring himself on, just for one over atleast to see what would have happened.

 

[imshally81]

Another single handed Six by King

 

[imshally81]

King gone finally

 

[nextover666666]

six runs off the first ball

 

[Omer2002]

As i said they are beasts they have three allrounders to come

 

[nextover666666]

Wicket , RAUF strikes wreck it rauf

 

[PakPremi]

Surrender shot by King, could have taken WI to victory.

 

[ha5is12]

Can never expect anything incredible from a pakistani fielder

 

[nextover666666]

Despite getting a wicket, Rauf did give up 15 runs , still anyones game

 

[shah_1]

SIX I think

 

[imshally81]

Not out.. imo

 

[PakPremi]

Certain not from Asif Ali, but Fakhar and Shadab have done few times

 

[ha5is12]

Can never expect anything incredible from a pakistani fielder

Not a bad catch tbf...

 

[Ahmed216]

If pak lose this one blame should go to haider. There's absolutely no room for selfish knocks in this format

 

[shah_1]

Out

 

[Justcrazy]

West Indies need 46 runs in 23 balls.

 

[imshally81]

Oh it was out... Great efforts Asif Ali

 

[shah_1]

Great catch but Odean Smith looks such a clean striker of the ball. The new Dwayne Bravo

 

[PakPremi]

Not bad from Asif Ali this time lol

 

[ha5is12]

If pak lose this one blame should go to haider. There's absolutely no room for selfish knocks in this format

Your making it sound like he played slowly on purpose.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan will win this series , but this is wasted one , should have rested better players , and given more exposure to youngsters

 

[shah_1]

Another wicket

 

[imshally81]

Another gone... Beauty by Afridi

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan management need to take rotation policy seriously.

 

[shah_1]

Flying chummi of Shaheen Afridi is so cringe

 

[Justcrazy]

Shaheen playing is useless here , he is too good to play against this side .

 

[imshally81]

Another gone... Afridi on hat-trick

 

[ha5is12]

Pakistan 100% winning this game

Was never in doubt

 

[Justcrazy]

West Indies need 42 runs in 18 balls.

 

[boomboomcheema]

What an over by Shaheen

 

[nextover666666]

Shaheen stirkes 3 times in that over, surely now its Pakistans win

 

[PakPremi]

4 players from World Cup squad are already not playing. I would have rested Shaheen and Rizwan too, but other than that it is OK to give other players playing today more opportunities for experience.

 

[shah_1]

Wasim Jr is not finished product at all. Still needs a lot learning

 

[Rana]

Better game than yesterday

At least West Indies have six hitters and can entertain a bit whereas Zimbabwe are just so boring

 

[Snowflake]

How short are these freakin' boundaries?! That was a 63 meter six and it cleared the boundary by some distance

What a mockery of the game!

 

[Justcrazy]

Muhammad Wasim can be a good all-rounder , needs to be given some chance while batting

 

[Justcrazy]

Hattrick ball hammered for four

 

[nextover666666]

27 needed off 11, hopefully it doesnt come down to the last ball type of thing, come on Shaheen get 2 more wickets and end this game

 

[imshally81]

I think.. He is gone

 

[nextover666666]

WICKET, run out

 

[Justcrazy]

I am really surprised how Pakistan keep on playing shaheen and not rest him !

 

[Justcrazy]

23 from last over required !

Can Shepard do a braithwaite
