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

[Dingolfy]

What is the highest T20 chase by Pakistan against non-minnows in recent past?

 

[Nasty Naz]

106 runs needed off last 10.

Slow powerplay once again putting pressure on the middle order & lower order to make up for it.

 

[sweep_shot]

106 runs are needed from the final 10 overs.

Advantage India currently.

 

[JibranAnsari]

interesting this is that we can have another match with india.

 

[Marooned]

Have a feeling Ifti will have a crucial role today.

 

[Suleiman]

Fakhar will be man of the match runner up for India if we lose.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Whats hardik doing bowling short pitched rubbish? cmon pitch it up

Swag se karenge sabka swagat.

 

[Nasty Naz]

What is the highest T20 chase by Pakistan against non-minnows in recent past?

They did chase like 208 off SA in SA.

 

[Marooned]

What is the highest T20 chase by Pakistan against non-minnows in recent past?

180 odd vs NZ full strength bowling.

 

[Colorblind Genius]

Good to see Fakhar out ... it could be good for Pakistan. He was tentative, scared, low on confidence, low on energy and didn't seem to have the fire in the belly to counter attack with force.

 

[imshally81]

Six by Rizwan

 

[Major]

Rizwan smashes that

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Rizwan 666

 

[daytrader]

Pak 76-2 (10ov)

106 runs in 60 balls. RRR 10.6

 

[Markhor]

Pakistan's approach in the PP remains pathetic.

Saeed Anwar and Amir Sohail went quicker in the first ten overs in the WC QF vs India...and that was an ODI in 1996 !

 

[JibranAnsari]

need 20 plus this over

 

[JilaWatan]

It's the same story every game. They obviously have no faith in Asif Ali, don't know why he's in the team

 

[Champ_Pal]

Next 5 overs will decide the fate of this game.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Rizwan huge 6.

 

[Rana]

Not gonna lie

Rizwan is the key here

 

[Dingolfy]

180 odd vs NZ full strength bowling.

Well, then you are still in the game.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Pakistan's approach in the PP remains pathetic.

Saeed Anwar and Amir Sohail went quicker in the first ten overs in the WC QF vs India...and that was an ODI in 1996 !

And what was the result of the match ? Our batting suck since the inception of Pakistan.

 

[Major]

Not gonna lie

Rizwan is the key here

you say this every india game, only to bash the guy for the next 363 days

 

[Marooned]

Nawaz should handle fast bowlers Riz should play spin.

 

[JibranAnsari]

only 10 off the over despite a 6

 

[10sion]

11th Over - India scores 8, Pakistan scores 10 - Advantage Pakistan

 

[msb314]

Rizwan needs to find the gap when cutting

 

[JibranAnsari]

what will be our chances of need 60 in last 5 with 7 wickets standing?

 

[Nasty Naz]

Hard to see Rizwan play a long innings with how he's running. Clearly the knee is bothering him.

 

[Shafi]

Should try Dhani as a batsman instead of Fakhar. Atleast he can hit 2~3 6s in 4-5 balls rather than Fakhar tuktuk

 

[Markhor]

And what was the result of the match ? Our batting suck since the inception of Pakistan.

Yes but our PP approach is particularly bad.

We're always content with 40-1 after 6 whether it's chasing 140, 160 or 200.

It puts too much pressure on middle and lower order.

 

[sweep_shot]

96 runs are needed from 9 overs.

Pakistan need 2-3 big overs.

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Ohhh missed bad ball.

 

[JibranAnsari]

missed out on a 6 ball rizwan

 

[Marooned]

We need to aim for 80 from 50, 60 from 40, <50 from 30...

 

[imshally81]

6 by Nawaz

 

[Major]

Nawazaayyyyyy

 

[Sunzi]

Risky but handy from Nawaz

 

[JibranAnsari]

edged and still a 6

 

[Markhor]

That should've been put away

 

[Anis Shivani]

Win toss, win match theory will be put to severe test today. But I still think Pakistan will win it.
I felt like today it would be the much-maligned middle order that would come through.
I think Babar got out early a couple of times in recent matches because Rizwan was too slow so he pushed himself.

 

[NeVerMind]

Should try Dhani as a batsman instead of Fakhar. Atleast he can hit 2~3 6s in 4-5 balls rather than Fakhar tuktuk

Even Nawaz doing better than Fakhar

 

[imshally81]

Good running

 

[JibranAnsari]

everything nawaz dojng is workin, may be should get nawaz shareef back as well.

 

[Marooned]

Nawaz has already done his bit. Well done.

 

[Ahmed216]

So fielding may eventually be the difference between the sides today

 

[Nasty Naz]

Look at Nawaz coming up huge. Keep attacking.

Pakistan still have plenty of batting to come.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Get the feeling one massive over for either side will be crucial

 

[sweep_shot]

Nawaz is hitting well.

 

[daytrader]

Brilliant move to promote Nawaz

 

[Major]

waqar commentary is just annoying

 

[JibranAnsari]

The commentary box is only thing worse than fakhars outing tonight

 

[10sion]

12th Over - India scores 4, Pakistan scores 10 - Advantage Pakistan

 

[Major]

Man the nawaz move was a good one. Even if he gets out doesnt hurt us

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need 86 runs in 48 balls.

 

[Markhor]

Pakistan can't follow up these boundaries man...always a single or dot afterwards.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

When 100 will up, it's been very long

 

[Ahmed216]

Where are imad fans today? Nawaz has already done more in this game than imad ever did in his entire career

 

[Major]

Waqar critisizes as if under his coaching we used to be champs. The guy is all talk

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Adv Pak, 8 wickets in hand

 

[Marooned]

Need atleast 20 runs next 10 balls.

 

[JibranAnsari]

arshdeep is impressive

 

[sweep_shot]

86 runs are needed from 8 overs.

2 more overs of spin to go.

 

[Anis Shivani]

Good move to send Nawaz up. Often under Babar's captaincy this sort of thinking is missing.
Plenty of batting in the middle order, only one or two have to strike it hot, but you can't have Rizwan batting till over 15 in each game before they come in.
Pakistan single-handedly trying to revive Kohli's dead career.
Shadab has become critical to Pakistan, both him and Nawaz in the middle overs, it's brilliant.
And what's up with Fakhar?

 

[Ahmed216]

Rizwan haters?

 

[Villager6964]

Rizwan is just amazing man. He gives his all.

 

[10sion]

100 up

 

[JibranAnsari]

good knock by rizwan. Wasnt looking good at the start

 

[NeVerMind]

Another invaluable 50 from Riz....

 

[cricenjoyer]

What's up with Wasim and Waqar constantly praising Kohli like *******

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

full toss, could have hit anywhere man.

 

[JibranAnsari]

missed out on a fulltoss

 

[Major]

should had striked arshdeeep man

 

[Smbhayi]

Rizwan scored yet anothr fifty but some people still don't want him..

 

[Marooned]

Keep going Rizwan

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

waqar commentary is just annoying

Be thankful that we dont have to endure Bazid the drone, mike dawlance haysman and harasha chatterbox bhogle.
on another front, pak fielding except for last over was really good, i havent seen our guys getting direct hits or supreme filding efforts.
Good innings by rizwan, cant be easy to keep for 20 ov and then come and open the innings, more so when you are having ankle injury

 

[JibranAnsari]

What's up with Wasim and Waqar constantly praising Kohli like *******

yah cringeworthy.

 

[Shaddy86]

Not gonna lie

Rizwan is the key here

Lol welcome to the club

 

[Nasty Naz]

Where are imad fans today? Nawaz has already done more in this game than imad ever did in his entire career

It's amusing Pakistan fans have a habit of tearing another down to boost up another player.

It's not necessary.

 

[Major]

NAWAzayyyyyyyyy
