Pakistan [182/5] defeat India [181/7] in thrilling 5-wicket victory in Super 4 of Asia Cup

[Marooned]

Man Rizwan should atleast learn to rotate strike.

Not asking him to go all berserk but is strike rotation too much to ask?

 

[NeVerMind]

Sharjeel is perfect for flat tracks.

Sharjeel will give even more runs in misfields... It will be what Fakhar did times 10!

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Spin... This will decide game

 

[Justcrazy]

19 from 3 overs

 

[Marooned]

Sharjeel will give even runs in misfields... It will be what Fakhar did times 10!

That's true. It's a tradeoff.

 

[Shafi]

Fakhar Zaman is key.

Yeah right!!! I would rather trust Asif than this softie

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Good start from Pakistan.

10 short of that.

 

[10sion]

1st Over - India scores 11, Pakistan scores 9 - Advantage India
2nd Over - India scores 9, Pakistan scores 2 - Advantage India
3rd Over - India scores 14, Pakistan scores 8 - Advantage India

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

wow, g8 shot by babar, not easy to hit that from off to leg when pace is taken off ball, that requires supreme eyesight and touch

 

[Marooned]

Rizwan should take on Bishnoi.

 

[The_KING]

Rizwan batting slow as per usual. He scored a boundary of the first over. Since then, he has scored 4 from 11 balls. Not good enough.

 

[imshally81]

Babar gone

 

[Major]

i said it at the start of the match, bishnoi will get wicekts today

 

[10sion]

Babar azam gone!

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Told you earlier. Bishnoi will surprise Pakistan.

 

[Sunzi]

Tame dismissal.

 

[JibranAnsari]

wrong man out , but i will take it.

 

[The_KING]

Babar’s poor tournament continues.

 

[shaz619]

Pak did well to restrict India, they looked like 200+ at some point. But a big task still with this total with Babar gone

 

[chinaman00]

Babar’s weakness against spin continues.

 

[Marooned]

Babar gone.

Tell u what babar has lost us 2 games this cup.

 

[Devadwal]

No ball??

 

[Shafi]

Powerplay and 6 runs/over. Target should be reduced for 140-150. We can never chase 181 like that. No Dhani today to hit those 6s.

 

[JibranAnsari]

thats out

 

[Sunzi]

Looks legal

 

[Nasty Naz]

Babar soft dismissals after soft dismissals. He's looked good early on and just given it away.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Huge wicket !!!!

 

[Shafi]

Mr. softie gone

 

[Marooned]

No no ball. Looks fine.

 

[DJhant]

Today Fakhar will decimate India

 

[sweep_shot]

Bishnoi gets Babar.

 

[mosh101]

Poor start by both babar and rizwan

Not sure why either of them are hogging the opening slot

 

[boomboomcheema]

Babar is a Softie.

 

[shah_1]

Flopbabar

 

[Shafi]

Regardless we bat first or last it always same against better team.

 

[JaDed]

WD Bishu, now continue with it

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan struggling here

 

[JibranAnsari]

lol you get out in a t20 not even trying to score.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Rizwan playing for his average.

 

[Marooned]

Babar was the biggest culprit vs India 1st game. One game fine, but he has let ys down again.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Poor from Babar, he is nowhere near fab 4. Should start working on his batting rather than already pretending he is a star.

 

[10sion]

Today Fakhar will decimate India

Today Fakhar will get decimated by India

there, corrected

 

[RainStopsPlay]

Masterstroke from Rohit to get Bishnoi in Powerplay. India did perfect groundwork in getting Babar out cheaply.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Bishnoi did a Afridi celebration.

 

[Marooned]

Match is dusted. Babar was in zombie mode. What was he thinking??

 

[imranraf]

Babar has been a big disappointment in this tournament

 

[Major]

pakistan has lost this game. Well played india

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Rizwan playing for his average.

No, he is not selfish, he is too limited.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Yeaaa Bishi...big wicket - Babar.
i think it was more score board pressure as Riz is not running well or hitting big shots.
did pak miss a trick by not sending FZ as opener? any ways this is FZ' chance to go big and make amends.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Poor from Babar, he is nowhere near fab 4. Should start working on his batting rather than already pretending he is a star.

Poor tournament so far but i feel he will comeback

 

[Ab Fan]

Back to back failures for Babar vs India and overall a poor tournament for him, leaving Rizwan to do the hard yards every single time.

 

[saabir]

Defensive mindset will cost this team many games. Timid approach in pressure games by Pak.

 

[offstump]

The game is far from lost let’s not lose hope here!

 

[chinaman00]

The Pakistani top order struggles against spin. They will be exposed today, even on this batting friendly pitch.

 

[Marooned]

Now we have to lose by not too big a margin, win both our games and hope India wins all of theirs.

Too much to ask.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Pandya will run through them again.

 

[Thephenom]

I just don’t trust Babar as a opener, for me he should come in at no 3

 

[Suleiman]

Babar only good for soft chases sadly.

 

[sweep_shot]

Bishnoi was brilliant during U19 World Cup.

Being great today also.

Good find.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Match is dusted. Babar was in zombie mode. What was he thinking??

Babar was looking good. Good move by Rohit to bring Bishnoi

 

[10sion]

4th Over - India scores 12, Pakistan scores 3/1 - Advantage India

 

[LegendAli]

Babar has been a big disappointment in this tournament

I dont think Babar has ever played a decent inning when it matters.

The NZ chase in 2019 WC does not even count.

 

[JibranAnsari]

rrr 10

 

[Abhilash93]

Required run rate up to 10 now.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Poor stuff from Pakistan.

Little to no intent. Playing risk free cricket and somehow still managing to get out. Really poor stuff.

 

[Shafi]

Knew that a80 is way too much for our batsmen and Indian fans are hyping 180+ is not good enough.

 

[sweep_shot]

RRR is now 10.

160 runs are needed from 16 overs.

 

[10sion]

Bishnoi was brilliant during U19 World Cup.

Being great today also.

Good find.

almost won it for India in the finals against Bangladesh

 

[Usman Chadda]

Rizwan is playing a rubbish innings.

Three soft dismissals for Babar Azam this tournament. No wonder our batting isnt doing so well.

 

[JibranAnsari]

iftikhar has to score a 20 ball 50 today

 

[JaDed]

I knew Pandya is going to be smacked today, whenever he talks big next game gets smacked lol

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Fakhar is useless, he will give his wicket in next 10 balls.

 

[Marooned]

Knew that a80 is way too much for our batsmen and Indian fans are hyping 180+ is not good enough.

Well if babar had kept his wicket, 180 was chasable here on this track.

 

[Justcrazy]

No intent by batsmen to take advantage of power play !

 

[JibranAnsari]

so this 22 average 131 sr batsman is our saviour ?

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

What a shot by Fakhar

 

[Shafi]

Yeaaa Bishi...big wicket - Babar.
i think it was more score board pressure as Riz is not running well or hitting big shots.
did pak miss a trick by not sending FZ as opener? any ways this is FZ' chance to go big and make amends.

Yeah blame Rizwan for Babar's mistake. When Babar play 1 innings like Kohli/Rohit/Pant in his entire career?

 

[Abhilash93]

Wow can't believe Fakhar has SR of only 130 in T20Is.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan should think out of box , they should have promoted someone up the order , absolutely poor coaching here , there is no intent

 

[Nasty Naz]

Great shot by Fakhar there.
