Pakistan (177/3) narrowly defeat Bangladesh (173/6) by 7 wickets in final league game of Tri-series

[Ahmed216]

Since when did India become the benchmark of success?

If Indiia cant do it with abundant talent how can you expect us to win WC with ifti asif shan haider in playing 11

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan should finish the game by 19th over.

14 are needed from 2 overs.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Yes, Shadab and Asif opening the innings against Starc and Cummins is going to win us the World Cup. )

Meanwhile, Babar and Rizwan got us to the semis last time around.

I see.

Semis.

Mediocrity breeds mediocrity.

Btw, from the look of exultation on your face, you would think we have won everything on offer.

Hope you are here for the final on Friday.

 

[Coolcapri]

Right on cue Rizwan fell and dived lol

yes noticed that....

 

[jnaveen1980]

BD has zero death bowling options with Taskni bowled out. Death over bowler, finisher both are essential. BD misses both.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

yeah but rizwan played very slowly and didnt really hit many boundaries or sixes.

Rizwan played according to situation.

 

[atomberg]

Too many midfields.

 

[Coolcapri]

Need to finish in this over, Don't take it to 20th over.

 

[arif_2021]

Rizwan played according to situation.

no he didnt...he got bailed out by nawaz...

 

[Blackbradman]

BD has zero death bowling options with Taskni bowled out. Death over bowler, finisher both are essential. BD misses both.

Once Shakib retires they will consitently loose against Honkong, Uganda etc..

 

[daytrader]

Running hard Rizwan

 

[Coolcapri]

Pathetic fielding for BD

 

[sweep_shot]

Need to finish in this over, Don't take it to 20th over.

They should do it. Part-timer is bowling.

 

[arif_2021]

2 dot balls. no intent.

can easily hit a cover drive.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Soumya is not that terrible compared to that safiuddin guy. They might as well play a batsman.

 

[sweep_shot]

Soumya is bowling much better than Saifuddin. Should've bowled more.

 

[Coolcapri]

Rizwan should attack in PP as he struggle to score boundaries after field open up.

 

[arif_2021]

2 dots and then out. pathetic batting by rizwan...

please dont defend him today

 

[Ahmed216]

NZ commentators are always biased. Today they were supporting BD

 

[Usman Chadda]

Rizwan

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Rizwan should attack in PP as he struggle to score boundaries after field open up.

Then he wont be able to average 50.

 

[sweep_shot]

Wicket. LOL. Drama.

Soumya is doing great.

9 are needed from 7.

 

[Coolcapri]

Hit a boundary and finish....

 

[arif_2021]

again unfair for asif.

 

[sweep_shot]

8 runs are needed from the final over. Shakib should bowl it.

 

[jnaveen1980]

wow Soumya what an upgrade lol He pretty much nailed most of the balls

 

[Coolcapri]

Rizwan Gone.. you need 10 of 10 and than play 3 dots....

Typical Pak batting.

 

[Ahmed216]

Soumya is not that terrible compared to that safiuddin guy. They might as well play a batsman.

Not sure how good is he but he's bowled the perfect death over line for rizwan

 

[arif_2021]

what the heck is asif supposed to do - how is this fair to the middle order?

 

[Coolcapri]

Big players don't leave it for others and finish the match by themself.

 

[jnaveen1980]

shaifuddin lol We know what is going to happen haha

 

[daytrader]

again unfair for asif.

8 from 6? It's in his favour. Expecting him to finish this

 

[sweep_shot]

Soumya gave away 6 runs only.

Saifuddin gave away 42 runs in 3 overs.

Mindboggling that Soumya didn't bowl more.

 

[JilaWatan]

Asif ali you are so badddd

 

[sweep_shot]

5 are needed from 4.

One boundary should do it.

 

[jnaveen1980]

garbage field set. Zero fielders anywhere near batsman

 

[Asif321]

Rizwan again showing he can’t win games on his own

 

[sweep_shot]

Man of the match should be Nawaz. Changed the game completely.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shaifuddin man of the match. Drop catch. wides, no ball,

 

[sweep_shot]

Scores are level.

 

[jnaveen1980]

50 runs singlehandedly conceded.

 

[sweep_shot]

Why didn't Shakib bowl the final over?

 

[Blackbradman]

That's fifty for Crapuddin

 

[JilaWatan]

Our 'A' team barely winning against BD. IDK if I should be happy or not

 

[sweep_shot]

50 runs singlehandedly conceded.

3.5-0-53-0.

 

[Ahmed216]

Beyond pathetic commentary by Waqar. He wants all Pak players to go and kiss wasim after the game

 

[jnaveen1980]

3.5-0-53-0 Dreadful spell. Nawaz played a blinder.

 

[daytrader]

An inconsequential match that turned out to be a nail biter. Cricket you beauty!

 

[Mas-LFC]

Saifuddin had a day to forget. Dropped rizwan and conceded 50runs. Shakibs 3rd over wasnt the best gave 17 runs some poor half dollies!

 

[sweep_shot]

Saifuddin had a day to forget. Dropped rizwan and conceded 50runs. Shakibs 3rd over wasnt the best gave 17 runs some poor half dollies!

Shakib should've bowled the final over. Saifuddin was worse.

 

[arif_2021]

nawaz bailed out rizwan

 

[jnaveen1980]

some entertainment in the end. Few sixes.

 

[Ahmed216]

They needed to scalp babar amd rizwan early

 

[LegendAli]

Beyond pathetic commentary by Waqar. He wants all Pak players to go and kiss wasim after the game

LOL dude acts like the openers wouldn't of played differently if the target was 10 runs higher.

 

[Savak]

Beyond pathetic commentary by Waqar. He wants all Pak players to go and kiss wasim after the game

That economical final over by Wasim was vital given how close the game was in the end.

 

[Asif321]

Nawaz brilliance and wasim last over win it for Pakistan

 

[Coolcapri]

Another Good Cameo from Nawaz.

 

[arif_2021]

That economical final over by Wasim was vital given how close the game was in the end.

exactly

people dont realize these margins

pak vs england t20 where asif hit two sixes in the end was also the difference.

 

[Suleiman]

Imagine having so little trust in your specialist batsmen that you have to rely on your bowling allrounders full time. And rightfully so.

Shan, Ifti= Exit stage left

 

[Snowflake]

Nawaz MotM

 

[Snowflake]

And of the they give it to the highest scorer

 

[Mas-LFC]

Why didn't Shakib bowl the final over?

Shakibs captaincy is pretty all over. Fielders were sitting back big boundary always twos on offer, shouldve brought them in. Plus why is he and team management obsessed with so many batsmen? Instead of Nurul Miraz could have played, another bowler, Miraz against left handed couldve been a useful for BD. Liton can keep. Nurul either or Shanto.

 

[Coolcapri]

Bangla poor ground fielding lost them the match.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Despite Form Fiz is way better than Shafiuddin who is completely out of depth.

 

[rhony]

Excellent batting by Nawaz. Rizwan was still bunting slow short ball dollies for singles and twos in the 18th over. BD bowling and fielding are bad. Taskin is Ok. The rest of the pacers are a joke.

 

[arif_2021]

joke of the month = giving rizwan the MOTM.

 

[Snowflake]

Shakib isn't the captain, is he? Woops! Looks like he is

 

[Colorblind Genius]

Whoever decided not to send Shan Masood at #3 should get man of the match award.

 

[Suleiman]

) ) how did Riz get MoTM

It was either Wasim Jr or Nawaz

Afghanistan is dong a better job in applying pressure. BD let them off the hook after that one over.

Captaincy was poor today.

This pitch is good for Soumya's gentle medium bowling. He should've bowled 3-4 overs.

Saifuddin is no good. He should be dropped.

 

[arif_2021]

) ) how did Riz get MoTM

It was either Wasim Jr or Nawaz

rizwan cost us the match by killing the momentum and then playing two dots and then getting out.

 

[Ahmed216]

This series was aptly named bangla wash. they lost every game

 

[Asif321]

Hahah Rizwan got motm . Ridiculous

 

[Suleiman]

Bangla fielding needs to be Bangla washed. Incredibly poor fielding today- cost them 12-20 runs and the game

 

[asadee]

rizwan cost us the match by killing the momentum and then playing two dots and then getting out.

How did he cost u the match when.u won the match??

 

[arif_2021]

How did he cost u the match when.u won the match??

*almost cost us the match. missed the word there.

i dont see this as a victory.

bdesh is not a strong team and we barely won

 

[Snowflake]

Second hand embarrassment listening to Babar. Has his communication gotten even worse?

 

[zaidihusain]

) ) how did Riz get MoTM

It was either Wasim Jr or Nawaz

This is Qudrat Ka Nizam in true sense

 

[Mas-LFC]

Captaincy was poor today.

This pitch is good for Soumya's gentle medium bowling. He should've bowled 3-4 overs.

Saifuddin is no good. He should be dropped.

He usually bowls one over in PP. I don’t think he bowled any today. Saifuddin is middle - death bowler. Should not bowl first 6, neither Fizz. Fizz today would have been handy.

Why go with 5front line bowlers in the first place? Even though Soumya, Shanto, Afif can bowl, captain won’t use them.
