Pakistan (178/7) defeat Bangladesh (104) comfortably by 74 runs in the 3rd T20I to earn a consolation win in the series (1-2)

[Fazzy321]

Salman Ali is at best 120-130 SR batsman he had a good run but he is no better than Babar and Rizwan

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Pitch has been like this since the first game, even then we got off to a flyer thanks to Fakhar but then the hacks got out one after another. Today Farhan capitalised. My point is apart from him we dont have any one who can use the conditions early on until the pitch really starts to become two paced after 7-8 overs.

Farhan Should have been first choice opener after he proved himself in PSL and fifty in Lahore against Same opposition. There was no valid reason to drop him. Fakhar was promoted to give chances to Useless players like Khushdil down the order. I called it out in last match

 

[Fazzy321]

If Heris doesnt capitalise on what he has done he should be benched

 

[imshally81]

Six after long time

 

[mominsaigol]

Shot by hasan nawaz, really good 6

 

[imshally81]

6 and now 4

Nawaz on fire

 

[cricfan432]

Hassan nawaz is nervous starter against pace. His strength is spin

 

[PakPremi]

Haris keeping is below standard and his batting performance also do not merit him place in the team, which is a shame as he does posses good attacking strokes but us way too inconsistents.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Hasan Nawaz is one of the fittest lads in our team

 

[imshally81]

Finally Haris gone

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Give Harris Lahore Phatta wicket. Thats his only chance to play

 

[PakPremi]

And Haris now departs after wasting 14 balls and building up unnecessary pressure.

 

[amvbfm]

Horrible innings.

 

[cricfan432]

Haris is good player of bounce, so we can bank on him in sena. I would stick with him

 

[PakPremi]

Give Harris Lahore Phatta wicket. Thats his only chance to play

Even in those pitches he would contribute sugnificantly 1 in 5 at best.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Hasan Nawaz is the ultimate destruction machine

 

[imshally81]

Hasan nawaz gone

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan should win. Anything over 140 is very difficult here.

PAK - 131/4 (14.5 overs).

 

[amvbfm]

Hasan Nawaz is the ultimate destruction machine

the machine takes 2-3 ducks for a full charge

 

[imshally81]

Is 180 on?

 

[Fazzy321]

180 should be a good total here

 

[ads101]

You can see the difference between Nawaz and Haris. Both have good intent. In some ways Haris actually is more inventive. But Nawaz has better timing and is stronger. Haris isn’t naturally as powerful nor strikes it particularly clean.

 

[Human786]

How is the pitch ? 170 above par ?

 

[Fazzy321]

On what basis has Hussain talat got selected?

 

[sweep_shot]

You can see the difference between Nawaz and Haris. Both have good intent. In some ways Haris actually is more inventive. But Nawaz has better timing and is stronger. Haris isn’t naturally as powerful nor strikes it particularly clean.

Hassan Nawaz is a better batter technique-wise.

 

[khyberlion]

Hussain talat should never have been selected again. He is very mediocre and his only shot against pace is dab to 3rd man.

 

[sweep_shot]

PAK - 132/5 (15.4 overs).

How much more can Pakistan get? I think they should reach 160-170 (which is a winning score here).

 

[PakPremi]

Hussain talat should never have been selected again. He is very mediocre and his only shot against pace is dab to 3rd man.

Part of TIKA rubbish players Talat, Iftikhar, Khushdil and Asif Ali, who would fail more iften than perform.

 

[imshally81]

Captain on fire finally

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Even in those pitches he would contribute sugnificantly 1 in 5 at best.

Spot on and we have no other keeper which is alarming

 

[mominsaigol]

Hassan Nawaz is a better batter technique-wise.

Hasan Nawaz > Nawaz easily.

Muhammad Nawaz is a joke of a cricketer

 

[sweep_shot]

Bangladesh benched Mustafiz. Why? He should've played.

He doesn't play Test. So, workload shouldn't be an issue.

 

[sweep_shot]

Hasan Nawaz > Nawaz easily.

Muhammad Nawaz is a joke of a cricketer

Yeah. Definitely.

Mohammad Nawaz is a bowler who can bat a bit.

Hassan Nawaz is a proper batter.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Bangladesh benched Mustafiz. Why? He should've played.

He doesn't play Test. So, workload shouldn't be an issue.

these dead rubbers are perfect set up to give chances to other players

 

[PakPremi]

Spot on and we have no other keeper which is alarming

Perhaps but others would atleast be fairly good in one part of their game , batting or keeping.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Hasan Nawaz > Nawaz easily.

Muhammad Nawaz is a joke of a cricketer

he can give value down the order with Bat. but his bowling is issue

 

[mominsaigol]

he can give value down the order with Bat. but his bowling is issue

Mate the 2023 wc sealed it for me when it comes to nawaz and shadab Khan.

But yes Pakistan talent stock lower down the order is dry

 

[TeymurBlake]

You've got two great examples of toiling away at another opportunity for the national team in Hussain Talat & Sahibzada Farhan.

Two performers that improved in domestic cricket. One has been given the position and role that suits his batting style in Sahibzada & the other in Hussain Talat who also is being viewed as a allrounder rather than batting allrounder and pushed at No.6 when he is traditionally a middle order batter who can bowl a few overs.

If there is belief in Talat, than try him in his natural position or just don't play him. Pushing him in a position that he ain't accustomed with, doesn't help his self confidence or self belief.

 

[salman24]

Babar>Talat
Fakhar>Haris

That needs to be the XI out of the available players.

 

[imshally81]

Babar>Talat
Fakhar>Haris

That needs to be the XI out of the available players.

Who will be the keeper?

 

[The Bald Eagle]

This one is over for Bangladesh imo, hence proved it was never about pitch. Thanks Sahibzada for the eye opener knock

 

[imshally81]

Please nawaz no....

He will cemented his place for the next series

 

[PakPremi]

These 6s by Nawaz have sealed his place for next series unfortunately.

 

[mominsaigol]

Mate the 2023 wc sealed it for me when it comes to nawaz and shadab Khan.

But yes Pakistan talent stock lower down the order is dry

@Wasim Ghulam @Nikhil_cric

I think I just need to keep my mouth shut from now on.

Whoever I call a joke performs. Nawaz just happened to perform in the day I called him a joke.

 

[sweep_shot]

PAK - 170/5 (18.3 overs).

They can now declare and still win it. LOL. This is more than a winning score.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

@Wasim Ghulam @Nikhil_cric

I think I just need to keep my mouth shut from now on.

Whoever I call a joke performs. Nawaz just happened to perform in the day I called him a joke.

Relax. Nawaz will choke in important matches. This is a match of throwaway importance.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

@Wasim Ghulam @Nikhil_cric

Whoever I call a joke performs. Nawaz just happened to perform in the day I called him a joke.

lol in my memory two matches stick out where he came out clutch player down the order in t20s. Against India in Dubai and Final against NZ Tri series before wc 2022. He almost won the game against Zimb too in Perth. so he can provide batting value but his bowling is questionable

 

[mominsaigol]

Relax. Nawaz will choke in important matches. This is a match of throwaway importance.

Yes he will choke when I say Nawaz can be crutch in this situation

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Mirpur Pitch.. Lot easier to hit six than rotating strike..25 boundaries so far

 

[mominsaigol]

Yes he will choke when I say Nawaz can be crutch in this situation

@Nikhil_cric See what did I say

 

[Nikhil_cric]

@Nikhil_cric See what did I say

Your powers are greater than sweepy and Mamoon's put together

 

[PakPremi]

Need a catchy word to extend and rearrange TIKA so I can add Faheem and Nawaz to the list.

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan finish at 178/7 after 20 overs.

BD need 179 to win.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Innings Break

Pakistan 178/7 after 20 overs.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Where is @Devadwal today, certainly in his absence Pakistan team fluked well

 

[Rana]

@Rana Now we can unleash .


Theirs a reason I said to wait. Its the Mamoon effect. He pops up when Pakistan falters, but after stating his piece, The opposite happens.

Its always a one game wait.

Oh yes my guy.

 

[mominsaigol]

Oh yes my guy.

And now goalpost shifted from whitewash to Haris failing

 

[Rana]

120 pitch

Scoring 180

That’s brilliant

 

[Rana]

And now goalpost shifted from whitewash to Haris failing

I’m surprised he hasn’t gone into hiding yet

 

[Shafi]

Match loosing batting by Haris and Saim. We're 30 runs short.

 

[Rana]

https://twitter.com/x/status/1948345453159874784

 

[Shafi]

Haris with 35 SR can't be better than Babar/Rizwan unfortunately.

 

[imshally81]

Mirza strikes again

 

[IAJ]

Dead rubber and they start batting better, what a surprise...

 

[Ahmed216]

Salman Mirza swings the ball from good areas. Decent option going forward

 

[sweep_shot]

BD lost their first wicket.

0/1.

Great start for Pakistan.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Ideal start for Pakistan, the new minnow candidate

 

[gazza619]

I have a huge problem with Faheem Ashraf as opening bowler in any level of cricket

 

[Devadwal]

Where is @Devadwal today, certainly in his absence Pakistan team fluked well

Hahaha. Pakistan fans hyping a single likely win after humiliating performance.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 14/2 (2 overs).

Pakistan should get a big win here.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 22/3.

Another wicket.

 

[Local.Dada]

120-160 is max Bangladesh’s aukaat on a slow low pitch against non-minnows. Every other scenario is more or less a walkover for the opposition.

 

[imshally81]

4th wicket gone

 

[sweep_shot]

Another wicket.

Mirza bowls Jaker.

BD - 25/4.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Salman Mirza seems to be a good backup to Shaheen, at least in this format. Good eye from management to give him this series after a short PSL 10 stint.

 

[PakPremi]

Salman has justified his inclusion in the team , despite the captain not using his full quota in the first game even when he had bowled well.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Been impressed with Salman Mirza this series. Certainly seems like a decent bowling option for T20s.

Him and Daniyal have impressed this series.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Wow Mirza on fire. Bowling absolute peaches.

 

[RidiculousMan]

This is what happens when you put an above par score. Your bowlers instead of over-trying, simply are allowed to express themselves freely without the fear of leaking runs. Hence the more attacking line and wickets.

 

[sweep_shot]

LOL. Another wicket.

26/5.

It can become the biggest win in Mirpur's history.
