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

[JibranAnsari]

thats why even if you keep losing you gotta give guys like azam khan and sharjeel khan a good go in t20s. For days like these when target is big. These run a ball players cant win us big target matches

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

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

He didn't do anything with the bat also.

 

[Marooned]

Maaaan this was a gorgeous batting surface.

If only babar had stayed.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Extremely poor over. All pressure built has been lost.

 

[Marooned]

thats why even if you keep losing you gotta give guys like azam khan and sharjeel khan a good go in t20s. For days like these when target is big. These run a ball players cant win us big target matches

Not Azam. He is not even talented.

Sharjeel I agree.

 

[jusarrived]

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

Nah it's not easy to hit spinners. Only way to win is score big in PP.

 

[10sion]

5th Over - India scores 8, Pakistan scores 14 - Advantage Pakistan

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Pandya gave away 14 runs in his first over.

 

[Shafi]

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

Against weaker team like Bangladesh or may be against Afghan. Indian blowers are far supoerior to give away those runs. Lets hope for a miracle.

 

[Marooned]

Great shot Riz!

 

[Markhor]

Geez nearly a repeat of Riz's previous dismissal v Ind.

 

[Marooned]

Against weaker team like Bangladesh or may be against Afghan. Indian blowers are far supoerior to give away those runs. Lets hope for a miracle.

Nah.

Look at the surface, it's great for batting.

 

[saabir]

Body language of Fakhar Zaman looks very dejected.

 

[JibranAnsari]

babar is a big wicket only if the target is below 160 , otherwise he will just statpad and leave pakistan short

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Great shot Riz!

Almost gave it in hand.

 

[Ab Fan]

Arshdeep is much better than Avesh and has performed well in the chances he got.

 

[Marooned]

Body language of Fakhar Zaman looks very dejected.

Ya, I don't feel confident about him at all.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Lol..
People are bashing rizwan for no reason.
He is beat Pakistan player atm.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Arshdeep is much better than Avesh and has performed well in the chances he got.

He bowling to weakest batters ATM, cant judge him here.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Arshdeep is the new wasim akram

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

bad over by hardik, needs to stay focussed. FZ looks in good touch and wants to push the pedals. will be interesting if we get a few dot balls in

 

[10sion]

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

Same goes for bowling. Spinners were bowling well. Get it an over from ifti or kushdil

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need 145 runs in 88 balls.

 

[sweep_shot]

Arshdeep seems tidy with the ball. Almost no loose ball.

 

[JibranAnsari]

 

[Sunzi]

Wow Rizzy Boy. What a shot

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

What a shot by Rizwan

 

[10sion]

6!

 

[Ab Fan]

Rizwan as usual doing the hard yard while Babar left his side in trouble.

 

[JibranAnsari]

:

 

[Smbhayi]

Good shot by Rizwan, 6..

 

[sweep_shot]

Even if Pakistan lose this, they should ensure they don't lose by a big margin.

NRR is important in Super Four.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Wow Riz, he one of the best legside players in the world

 

[Devadwal]

Rizwan is leg side heck

 

[sweep_shot]

Shot from Rizwan.

Six.

 

[Justcrazy]

Nawaz is coming at number 8 , Pakistan should play with some intent here

 

[JibranAnsari]

blockhole

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Fakhar just being fakhar!! Useless and unworthy

 

[Shafi]

Rizwan is far superior batman than Fakhar for sure.

 

[Sunzi]

Fakhar looks lost.

 

[daytrader]

Shot! Rizwan is getting better and better playing that

 

[JibranAnsari]

zaman the hack

 

[Major]

arshdeep has a such a non threatning action

 

[topspin]

Rana was right all the way long about the Babar and Rizwan opening combo. It doesn't work.

 

[Shafi]

What management see in Fakhar? Playing T20 like test?

 

[NeVerMind]

Fakhar looks lost.

We seriously need Shaan Masood back

 

[JibranAnsari]

should be fakhars last match. Awful in the field as well.

 

[10sion]

6th Over - India scores 8/1, Pakistan scores 8 - Advantage Pakistan

After powerplay - India - 62/1 Pakistan - 44/1 - Advantage India

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

I believe something is really going on with fakhar, maybe lost big time.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Now Fakhar will attack spin and get out.

 

[sweep_shot]

138 runs are needed from 14 overs.

Powerplay is done.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Fakhar is playing a match losing inning after his match losing fielding performance. He even tried hard to mess up Rohit Sharma's catch.

 

[Colorblind Genius]

cringeworthy batting.
No powerful swing of the bat, no attack, no intent.

 

[Shafi]

Rana was right all the way long about the Babar and Rizwan opening combo. It doesn't work.

No option!!! Fakhar will waste more balls than any of Babar/Rizwan and get out quickly.

 

[JibranAnsari]

nice misfield by kohli 4

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Rizwan is far superior batman than Fakhar for sure.

And Pant.

 

[NeVerMind]

Riz with another boundary...

 

[Shafi]

I believe something is really going on with fakhar, maybe lost big time.

Hardly I have seen him play good unless poor oppositions.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Rizwan need to tell fakhar this is not ODI lol

 

[Dingolfy]

Now Fakhar will attack spin and get out.

Didn’t he use to play spin very well?

 

[JibranAnsari]

pakistan will need to take chance , send in khushdil early.

 

[emranabbas]

We will fall short with loads of wickets in hand

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

He just can't play ! Better for India if they don't take his wicket.

 

[10sion]

7th Over - India scores 9/1, Pakistan scores 7 - Advantage Pakistan

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Didn’t he use to play spin very well?

Never, he bunny to most of the spinners like Mujeeb

 

[saabir]

Looks like F.zaman playing for India. He may get out any time. Consuming deliveries without any intent .

 

[Shafi]

[MENTION=2016]Rana[/MENTION], see the difference between Fakhar 7 of 12 and Rizwan 30 of 20?

 

[Major]

Fakhar is playing too many dots

 

[10sion]

Bishnoi back

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

7 off 12 while chasing 180+ is truly criminal.

 

[Markhor]

Fakhar unfortunately looks shot mentally.

 

[The_KING]

And people think Fakhar should open in T20s lol. He shouldn’t even be in the T20 team with his low 20s average at a strike rate of 130. He should only be in the ODI team.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Pakistan is well behind at the moment. They need to at least get to 80 runs after 10 overs to go 10 run an over for the last 10.

Fakhar really struggling at the moment too.

 

[sweep_shot]

131 runs are needed from 13 overs.

 

[10sion]

kohli - 4 fours and 1 six in 44 balls
Rizwan - 4 fours and 1 six in 21 balls

 

[JibranAnsari]

after looking at indias spinners , my conclusion is that its almost impossible to win. The only chance is someone bowls a couple of extremely bad overs of 20 each.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

7 off 12 while chasing 180+ is truly criminal.

Giving 8 runs of last two balls was criminal too.

 

[Dingolfy]

Never, he bunny to most of the spinners like Mujeeb

My memory of him is blasting our spinners in CT 2017.

 

[Major]

And posters here say open with Fakhar......

 

[Shafi]

If Fakhar stay match will be over for us. Looks like left handed Azhar Ali.
